I might as well ask him.
"What are we?" I questioned.
My voice was shaky, and I trembled. When I spoke, it came out as a soft whisper.
"What?"
"What exactly are we?"
"Why are you asking so suddenly?"
"We're not in a relationship together, but you act like we are. So, what are we?"
"I... I don't know."
Well, that was disappointing.
"I thought so."
"What is this about?"
"You caress me, you hug me, and you kiss me like I belong to you."
"You do belong to me."
"It seems that way, but it's not official. I sound like I want something out of all of this, but I just want clarification."
"Let me put it this way, then. I can caress you, embrace you, and hold you without having to claim you as mine. I can kiss you without having to ask you for your permission. I can love you without having to put a label on our relationship. But if you really want it, though, I can tell everyone we know that you are my girlfriend, and that I am deeply in love with you. You belong to me, and I don't plan on letting you go."
I was in tears. I buried my face in his chest, hugging him tightly.
"Stop crying, Pouty. You're going to wake Thomas up."
Nathaniel escorted me to the bedroom. We got in bed, and I immediately snuggled beside him. He played with my hair until I fell asleep. Nearly passed out, I heard him whisper something.
"Good night, Lucie Oakly. I love you so much."
A smile appeared on my face, and I slept soundly.
