09."I'm in love with you"

After our litte session, we laid in his bed and watched few episodes of Gossip Girl.

"Blair and Chuck together is like a dream come true." I sighed.

I was overwhelmed because of their perfectly imperfect relationship.

"Just like us", Even answered.

Was that his true opinion? I couldn't tell. All i knew was that i wanted to stay in there forever, with him.

"Do you like me, like in deeper way?" I asked because i had to.

He turned to look at me like i was the dumbest person alive. I fucked up.

"Seriously, Isak? I'm crazy about you!" He answered and gave a quick kiss to me.

Those were the words that i wanted to hear. I liked him, he liked me.
Few weeks ago i though he was just a basic, annoying and popular kid. I had been so wrong.

"I'm crazy about you too, Even." I said.

I saw that something naughty came into his mind by the way of the look on his face.

"I know. Your screams were the proof", he smirked.

I poked him before i climbed on top of him. I tickled him to the point he was about to pee himself. He wasn't allowed to say stuff like that.
It was already 8 PM, so i had to go to home. I had homeworks to do before tomorrow.

"I have to go", i said.

Even shook his head. He didn't want to let me go.

"No", he resisted and pulled me closer to him again.

"Look, i don't want to leave but i have to." I talked to him like he was a little boy who couldn't understand a word.

"Fine. I'll walk you to the door." He gave up and we got up from his bed.

When we had reached the door, i couldn't leave. I felt like we had still unfinished business between us. Mostly because of Sonja.
Even had already opened the door, when i started to talk.

"Sonja visited me yesterday." I said.

After that, Even closed the door slowly. I saw that he was worried. Maybe worried, because Sonja had maybe exposed him? No, that was way too delusional.

"What? Why?" He kept asking me questions.

"Well, she told me what you had said to her. That you had fallen in love with someone else and she, somehow, knew it was me automatically. Then she talked about your mental illness, and said that it's just your stupid idea. She told me to stay away from you", i explained.

My voice was so weak that it even broke couple of times while i was speaking. I still felt a kife that was turning in my heart every time i talked about Sonja. Even probably had noticed it, because he pulled my head onto his chest comfortably.

"That's not so true. She's just jealous, and she wants me back so badly. But i'm not going anywhere." he said and lifted my head up so i could see him.

"I'm in love with you, Isak Valtersen." He said.

I knew he meant it, by the way he looked at me in the eyes all the time while saying it. It left me speechless, and i was shocked but it went away few seconds after that.

"I'm in love with you too, Even Bech Næsheim." I almost whispered.

I didn't know what i felt in that moment, when i stood in front of him. I was in a mix-up with my feelings.
But i guess it was true. Maybe it wasn't too early to say that i was deeply in love with him. It couldn't be anything else, it was way too strong to be.
