Dark

"I am in love with you, Clove Kentwell." Cato says. My sobbing slows down and quiets. He loves me? I take a deep breath and turn over to him. I lie on his chest on the couch and whisper in his ear.

"I'm in love with you, too." I say. I start leaning in for a kiss when Cato puts his fingers up to my lips to stop me.

"Wait, get up." He says. I don't question him but I do as he instructs. We both stand up and he grabs my hand.

"What?" I ask.

"Come on." He leads me into a giant, empty closet and closes the doors. It's complete darkness.

"Now?" I ask. I stick out my hands and feel him. My hands are on his abs. I move my hands up his chest and wrap my arms around his neck as he wraps his arms around my waist.

"Now." He says. This is it. I close my eyes and start leaning. I don't know exactly where his lips are but I will find them, and then I do. Our lips touch and I finally get my kiss. I honestly can't believe it. I want to live this moment forever. Somehow our little kiss turns into a make out session. I can finally call him mine. I smile at that thought and he pulls away.

"You have no idea how hard it was not to kiss you." He says. Gee, if only he knew. I give him one last kiss then walk out.

"Goodnight, Cato Hadley." I say. Cato walks out and closes the door.

"Goodnight, Clove Kentwell." He says. Even though it's dark I can still see that gorgeous smile and those blue eyes. I walk into my room and turn around to close the door, only to find that he is right there.

"I'm scared of the dark." He says. I laugh at his humor, it's cute.

"Cato, go back to your own room." I say.

"No, I'm serious! I'm scared of the dark! May I sleep with you tonight?" He asks. I smile and open the door a little more. He grins and walks in. I close the door and lay on the bed beside him.

"Are we going too fast?" I ask.

"I don't think so, it feels right to me." He says.

"Really?" I ask.

"Of course." He confirms.
