Because I love you

I love you

I sat there in my car resting my chin in the palm of my hand while tapping my nails on the steering wheel with the other. I was sitting outside her apartment building waiting for her to text me back. Waiting to find out if its okay for me to come up. I cant stop thinking about her or all the ways she can possibly shoot me down when I finally tell her how I feel.

I was pulled out of my thoughts by my cellphone going off. Call me love struck but I cant help but smile when I see her name pop up on the screen.

"Yes you can come up. Just warning you though I don't look that pretty"

that's what the text message read and I could not help but laugh at myself. Mostly because of the fact that she actually thinks that she could possibly not look pretty. She is always pretty...no beautiful. Her blonde hair and how it is wavy when she is lazy enough not to straiten it. Her laugh, her smile the way she thinks everything is beautiful about this women.

"Okay. Be there shortly."

That is all I said back and before I even had time to open my door she had sent me a text back.

"don't be silly Lena. I know you're outside so I unlocked the door you can just come in when you get up here"

all I could do was smile as I put my phone away

"Good god stef I think you know me better then I know me"

I mumbled to myself as I got out of the car. Shutting and locking the door I headed up to her apartment. My heart beating a mile a minute with every step I took. Finally before I even realized it I was standing at her front door. I took one last deep breath and turned the doorknob opening and then shutting the door behind me.

I walked over to her small kitchen that I have become so familiar with and sat my purse down and looked over to stef who was trying to get her TV remote to work. I laughed and walked over and leaned against the back of the couch

"you know if you switch the batteries around it might work"

she looked at me with a small smile that I have fallen so deeply In love with. she switched the batteries around in the remote and to her surprise it worked.

"Thank you smarty pants"

I just smirked as I walked around to the front of the couch and sat down next to her. She looked over at me and smiled and I just smiled back. She looked so beautiful but to anybody else they would probably say she looked like she just crawled out of bed. speaking of knowing her she probably did just crawl out of bed.

her hair was thrown up in a messy bun she was wearing a black tank top and tight pair of night time shorts. the tank top did not come down all the way so you could see a little bit of her toned stomach.

"How was work?" She asked as she was flipping through the channels on the Tv.

"Um it was good. Kind of distracted had a lot on my mind."

She looked at me with a smile.

"I'm sorry love" she said as she was still looking at me.

"no need to be sorry!"

I said looking at her and we just sat there In silence looking at one another.

"You want to shut the lights off and watch a movie? Curl up under a blanket and just forget the world for the rest of the day?" She asked as she was looking at me with those beautiful hazel eyes

"That sounds like the best offer I have had all day.. ill go get the blanket and you pick the movie?"

She smiled big at me "yeah alright" she said before she got up and went to her massive movie collection and I went to her room and grabbed her top blanket off of the bed I so desperately wish I was sharing with her.
