Just a Little

1.

I sit on ground, a blanket laid beneath me, as I watch the sun set before my eyes. The empty spot next to me is soon taken as the oranges in the sky turn dark. I lay down and watch the stars above me. The brightness of the moon and stars captivate me, and I'm thankful that the boy laying next to me got me to do this.

I turn and look at him to find his eyes already on me. This only makes me blush as I hold my stare on him. I watch as his eyes move from mine and then to my mouth. The light from the moon flickers in his eyes as his face inches toward mine. I don't see what happens next as my eyes shut and I await what's to come.

"I love you," comes out of his mouth before his lips press against mine. The three little words shock me as I find myself kissing him back. The kiss only lasts a few seconds before we both pull away. My head falls onto his chest as his arms wrap around me. My heart beats faster and faster as the seconds pass by, and I just know that he can feel my pulse. One of his hands finds one of mine as he holds it, and his other hand wraps itself around my waist.

I know he knows the affect he has on me, and the feelings that I feel inside are much more than just damn butterflies. Even his name has some type of affect; just hearing it makes my stomach feel as if they're doing somersaults.

"I love you so much," his voice whispers as my eyes close, and you could hardly hear the quiet whisper of my voice, as I fall asleep, replying, "I love you, too."

➤

"You told him you love him?" I nod my head as I put another spoonful of ice cream into my mouth. "I'm so happy! I can't believe it's finally happened!"

"Stop screaming, Vee, he's going to hear you!"

"And?" She asks, doing one of her happy dances. "You guys are made for each other."

"I mean, I already know that but he doesn't need to."

Veronica rolls her eyes before turning her attention back to the movie playing on the television. A few minutes later a very handsome looking boy walks out drying his hair with a towel. I manage to keep the blush from appearing on my cheeks as he notices me staring at him and winks at me.

"Looking as hot as ever, Rosie." He bends down and kisses me on the cheek before putting a Nirvana t-shirt over his shirtless torso.

As he turns around, Veronica starts making out with her hand before I throw the pillow beside me at her face. "You're gross."

"So," Calum says, "what are we going to do today?"

He sits down in-between Veronica and I before laying his arm around my shoulders.

"I don't know about you two, but I'm going to shopping." I look at Veronica and she smiles at me.

"For what?" Calum asks her.

"Um, what does it look like, Calum? Food."

Calum raises his arms in defense before she stands up and stretches out her arms. "I'll be back in a few hours. Bye." She then proceeds to leave, and I watch until the door slams shut behind her before turning back to Calum.

"Think we have enough time for another season of American Horror Story?" My eyebrows do a little dance as he does the same back to me.

"I would only hope, my lady."

"Good, because I was going to watch it no matter what."

...

"No, no, no! His name isn't Tate anymore; his name is Kit."

"What do you mean his name is Kit? It's Tate and he's a ghost!"

I let out a long sigh as I try my best to not roll my eyes.

"The first season characters have nothing to do with this season's."

"But that doesn't make sense!" He exclaims as he slams his hands on the pillow. "Why isn't he playing Tate anymore?"

"Because that's how the creators made it. Don't ask me."

We continue talking about it until a pillow hits the both of us in the faces.

"Okay," the voice says from behind us, "you guys can shut up now. It's very annoying listening to you argue over the season while you're not even watching it."

We both sigh as I lay my head on the pillow on Calum's lap. His hands play with my hair but I find myself so captivated in the sixth episode of Asylum that I barely hear him say, "will you be my girlfriend?"

I'm back at it.... [1/14/18]
