I'm Not Ready

The Spark

Wooo double update to compensate for my lazy ass

Riptid3's (Andromeda) P.O.V.

"My name is Andromeda Sorento."

Wade's mouth hung open in pure shock, his eyes reflecting that same emotion. He stutters a bit before talking again.

"N-Nolan Sorento... is your father..?"

"Yes..."

"But-but you said your father died?!"

"It's a metaphorical saying. After the OASIS became one of the most profitable things in the world and Gregarious Games became the number one company in the world, surpassing IOI, my father lost it. He didn't spend time with my mother or myself. He became obsessed with gaining his status back. He made the loyalty centers and gathered up people like mad. My mother fell into depression and... eventually killed herself. I ran away from home the day she died and found Arti... I've been living with her ever since..."

He suddenly pulls me into an embrace and I stand there in shock. He moves back with tears eyes. His hand finds my cheek and he rubs his thumb along it.

"I'm- I'm sorry..."

"For what?"

"For not stopping Nolan from doing that to you..."

I sigh and grasp his wrist that's right by my face. I trace circles on the back of his hand. My head was screaming at me that I was too close and this was more than friendly. But we've been through a lot lately, it just felt necessary.

"You did that best you could, Wade. Don't put yourself down because of that."

"But-"

"No," I say with stern eyes. He chuckles lightly and gazes at the ground, I laugh a bit as well. His eyes move up towards mine, scanning my face.

Then his eyes move down to my lips.

I lick my lips out of habit. I do it when I'm nervous, and right now I'm having an internal panic attack. I thought I couldn't fall for anyone. Then Wade showed up. I thought he was just being kind towards me. I know he said he loves me, but I always doubt everything.

My eyes move down to his lips and back to his eyes. He leans in slowly, almost cautiously. I lean forward slightly and tilt my head. Then his lips meet mine.

When people say you kiss the person you love, fireworks go off, butterflies flutter, the whole nine yards. I thought that was bullshit, but now that I'm experiencing it, it's all so thrilling.

His lips move against mine gently, as if not it break me, like I'm a porcelain doll. His hand that was on my cheek moves to the back of my neck. Both my arms slide around his neck unconsciously. His other hand goes to my waist as our lips move in harmony.

Unfortunately, us humans need to breathe. We broke apart and I look into his sparkling eyes, resting my forehead against his. Both of ya broke into a smile. Now, there's no doubting one thing.

I'm completely head over heels for Wade Watts.

THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN TO WRITE! Short I know, but this book is coming to an end *cry*. And I have a question to ask you all- should I do a sequel to this or a completely different book(s)? Let me know in the comments, please!!
