Skylar Ressler's POV

My eyes sparkle. I love everything about Raymie. His sea-green eyes, his blonde hair, the way he looks in a three-piece suit, the way he looks so much like Uncle Red. At middle school, I'm dreaming about Raymie.

"Sky, can you please tell the class what Alexander Graham Bell said when he first used the telephone?"

Alexander, that's Raymie's middle name. Raymond "Raymie" Alexander Reddington.

.............................

One of Uncle Red's enemies was going to kill Raymie. He softly says my name.

"Skylie."

I walk behind the bad guy and shoot him. Raymie turns around and looks at me, shocked. "Skylie! The keys are in his right pocket.

--

"Agent Sky, he's over there." Aram points to a black car, Uncle Red's car. Raymie looks at me. "Skylie, you can't do that again." I look at his sea-green eyes "You're welcome."

"I'm serious, Skylar. You can NEVER do that again. Promise me. I don't want you to risk your life for me."

"Raymond, I risked my life back there because......" I sigh "Because I love you, Raymie." He leans toward me and presses his lips against mine.

"I love you too, Skylie."

................................

"Miss Ressler!" I shake my head, startled. "Yes?" I then realize I was kissing my hand, not Raymie.

"I asked you a question. What did Alexander Graham Bell say when he first used his invention?" Right in front of me, I see... "Raymie?" I whisper. He winks at me.

"I love you, Raymie Alexander Reddington!!!" Miss Walker, my teacher, sighed "That's.....incorrect. Can someone else answer the question I asked Miss Ressler?"

A girl piped up. "Mr. Bell said "Watson, come here!"" Miss Walker smiled "Thank you, Ashley. And Skylar, please pay more attention in class."

Everyone laughs. I look at the desk in front of me. It's empty. Of course Raymie's not here, why would he be? He's a grown-up, and I'm just a kid.
