Saving My Love

Saving My Love Part 3

Chapter 3, New Feelings

Virgil's POV

2 weeks later

I woke up in my normal form. I got up & looked in the mirror. My bruises where mostly gone but the gash on my face was definitely going to scar. "Hey Virge!" Roman called from the outside the door. "Ya?" I called back. "Can I come in?" "Um. Ya sure." I ran into my bathroom as he walked in. "Gimmie a sec to get dressed." I put on a pair of skinny jeans & my combat boots. I quickly put on my favorite Hot Topic shirt & my signature purple hoodie. I ran a brush through my hair & put it in a high ponytail. I opened the door to see Roman sitting on my beanbag chair. "Hey" I said. "What do you want?" I could've sworn I saw him blush. "Um. Ya. I wanted to know if you wanted to maybe go for a walk with me? Out by the lake maybe?" He asked looking at his feet. "Um ya sure." I felt a blush creeping up my neck. "Really?! I mean um. Great. Let's get going." With that he walked out the door with me trailing behind.

Outside

Roman & I stopped & looked at the lake.

"So... Virge?"

"Ya Roman?"

"Um I have something to confess."

"Ok? Go ahead."

"I. I well. Ah sh*t I can't say it."

"Um ok?-"

I got cut off with Roman's lips pressed against mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck & kissed back.

Gasp! I woke up and looked around. It was still dark outside. I looked at the clock on my desk. 1:48 in the morning. It was a dream. I fell down & stared at the ceiling. "Why couldn't it have been real?" I asked myself. I closed my eyes & tried to go back to sleep. 20 min later I sat up. "I can't sleep." I climbed out of bed and creaped out into the hall. I wrapped my arms around me & walked down the hall to Roman's room. I opened the door to see him sitting at his window seat. I walked over & sat next to him. "Can't sleep either huh?" I asked. "Huh? Oh ya." He said not even looking at me. "Roman?" I asked. "Are you ok?"

"Not really."

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

"Yes it is Roman tell me."

"It's. Well. I. Sh*t it's no use I can't say it."

I silently pinched my arm just in case I was still dreaming. Nope. Not a dream.

"Tell me Roman."

"I can't. I'm. I'm scared to."

"Pft. Really? The prince of creativity is scared?"

"Ya I am."

"Well I'll never think any differently of you-" I got cut off with Roman wrapping his arms around me & pressing his lips against mine. It was real this time. Every anxious bone in my body said that only bad could happen from this but I didn't care. I kissed back. I pulled away & smiled at him. He pulled me in & held me against his chest. I don't know how long we sat there. Just holding each other. I didn't really care. All I knew was that I was right where I wanted to be. Roman started playing with my hair. "I like this." I said "Just sitting here. With you." "I like it too Virge." Roman said. We continued to talk about nothing in particular. Eventually he stopped talking & just listened to me ramble. I finally fell asleep in his arms. That night the nightmares didn't bother me.
