Can't Say Love: A Hunter Hayes Fanfic (Completed)

Chapter 57

SHORT CHAPTER:

        I went up to Hunter about a month after everything cooled down. No fights, no new memories that were a big deal. There was something that had been bothering me for the longest time, though. I knew that Hunt had gotten a crush on me when we were little, and that was fine. But we were older now. What did he think of me? I hadn't gotten any sleep recently. I probably look like a wreck, but I needed to know. I invited him over for breakfast the night before. He was set to arrive at 9:30am, which was minutes away. I was nervous out of my mind, to say the least. A million questions rammed through my head at once. What if he didn't still like me that way? Did I want him to? Did I like him that way? This is insane, everything that's happened. I knew Hunter Easton Hayes, lost my memory, met him again, got my memory back, and am currently trying to figure out our relationship.

        He was already my best friend. I told him everything. Every thought, every worry, every secret. There was nothing I didn't tell him, and that includes my curiosity about his personal feelings for me. 

        Knock, knock. Crap. I answered the door and let him in calmly. 

        "I think there's something we should talk about," I said smoothly, not stuttering which was actually one of my fears. 

        "Anything. What's on your mind, baby girl?" he took my hands curiously.

        "Well... I know you used to like me and everything... I was uh.. Well, what do you think now? I mean we're best friends and I know I'm not the same person I was then," I said, probably a little faster than I should have. 

        He let a nervous giggle escape his lips. "Ke, my feelings for you are never going to change. I... well I do like you... but I don't want anything about our relationship to change just yet. I want to take this slow, that is, if you like me back."

        I think I was in shock for a minute. We were just sitting there, my hands enclosed in his. I thought I liked him. "Why should we take this slow? You want crazy right? Let's do this fast and hard. Let's fall in love all at once, together," It was probably the most cheesy think I'd ever said, but it was what I wanted. I wanted Hunter in my life, forever and always. 

        "Just think about this. You don't remember everything yet. This is a big thing in your life and I want to make sure that with all the memories you will get, that this is what you want. I want you to know for sure. I don't want you double questioning yourself. Let's just... plan this out. I'm not leaving, there's no reason to do this now. Let's take some time. Make sure you don't just like me as a best friend, or a brother, or even a father figure. I want you to know that this is right, and I want you to reassure me when you have every detail of your old life figured out. Okay?" He looked deep into my eyes. 

        "Okay. If that's what you want. I think I'm ready but if you really want me to take some time and make sure everything is permanent, I will," I said and in reply he kissed my forehead.

        That day we said something to each other that we hadn't said yet after the accident. 

"I love you," his diamond eyes pierced my heart. 

"I love you back," I said. 

And that's when he kissed me.

The End.
