Unexpectedly You

Chapter 22

*one month later*
"IT CAME IN! IT CAME IN!"
James screamed from outside of his house. We were inside and James was telling me about how today the letter would come in and say if he made it or not. "Seriously? Open it!" I yelled from inside. I got up and ran outside to the stinging heat of June weather. A summer breeze blew and my hair got messed up. I approached James as he tore open the envelope. His eyes lit up and a huge smile grew on his face. "IM IN!" He screamed. "OH MY GOD! THATS AMAZING!" I jumped on him and wrapped my legs around his hips. He twirled me around and put me down. "Read it out loud James!" I said. He read it out loud and we went inside. "So when does this whole thing start?" I asked, "Oh, not until next year, because now they know who plays who's part and now they need to figure out who is going to say what, like the script." We kept on talking about, living space, money, car, food, and all the other things that he will need. "Well, it's 6:00 and I have been here with you since 12:30 and my mom is expecting me home." "Wait," he grabbed my arm and sat me back down on the couch. He leaned and softly kissed my lips. I sat on his lap straddling him. My fingers got tangled in his hair. He wrapped his arms around my waist and my arms around his neck. We finally pulled back to catch our breath. "That was amazing." He laughed. I laughed and gave him a hug. Still on his lap, he softly stroke my hair. He whispered in my ear, "I-I-I-lo-lo-love you." My heart skipped a beat. Did he just say he loved me? "What?" My voice cracked. "I-I-I said I l-l-love you." He kissed the top of my head. My heart beating really hard, a boy has never told me that. Why was I feeling this way? Why would my heart skip beats when he said he loved me? Do I love him back?
Well maybe, but I finally pulled back and asked, "Why? I mean what's there to love? I don't have ass, I'm chubby, my hair gets frizzy if I don't straighten it or curl it, I have 0 percent patience, I walk with my ankles inwar-" he stopped me from speaking by placing his finger on my lips. "I don't care about all your flaws, which I honestly never even noticed at all, I think you're beautiful inside and outside. Katy, you're amazing and I don't think I could be any happier with anybody." He said. I couldn't help but smile like an idiot. "Really James?" I managed to say. "Really." He stroke my hair again. "Okay." I whispered. I finally got off of him and headed for the door, I turned the knob and James yelled, "Bye Katy! I'll call you tomorrow!" I smiled and said "Okay." I left and when I got home I didn't eve speak to my parents. I went to sleep with what James said about me, he was really sweet and it really touched my heart. I just can't believe he said he loved me.
