The Nerd next door.

Chapter Sixteen.

"Dove." Someone called my name softly.

And this time I held my breath.

He stepped forward, I know because I have a really good hearing.

In three seconds he was sitting in front of me.

"Why am I here?"I asked, my voice low and shaky.

"Because I wanted you here, Dove."He spoke softly.

"Edwin, What is this all?"I asked again, Tears were starting to form in my eyes.

He looked at me.

"I know what I did was wrong, I was blaming you for the thing you had no intentions to do.I'm just so sorry. I made you...."

"You made me cry."I completed his sentence for him.

"I did. And I should hate myself for this, Dove."He stood up, came near me and sat down on his knees in front of me.

"What....?"

"Dove, Can you forgive me? Do you think you can?"He asked. It seemed to me that Edwin had been replaced by somebody else.

He was never like this. I didn't know how I thought he seemed different.

"Dove?"I came out of my thoughts and looked down at him.

"Yeah?"

"Are you gonna forgive me or you're just gonna leave me?"He asked, I looked in his eyes and opened my mouth to say something and that was when I saw a flicker of fear in his eyes.

"Are you promising me that you'll never do that again?"I demanded.

"Of course, Never.."He stopped and looked down then looked up again straight in my eyes."If you promise me that I'll be the only person you kiss."

I tried to stop a smile on my lips but couldn't.

"Okay."Was all I said. Which was enough for Edwin to understand that everything had been forgiven and forgotten.

Sometimes a single "Okay" means a lot. And we both knew it.

Not resisting his handsomeness anymore, I stood up and sat down on his lap.

He looked surprised at first. But then taking in the situation, He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my forehead. I smiled.

"I love you, Dove."He whispered.

"I love you too, Edwin, "I whispered back, nuzzling my head on his chest.

The next sentence was unexpected.

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

My head shot up.

"What?"

"Will you be my girlfriend?"He repeated his question.

I couldn't believe it. I really couldn't.

I nodded slightly.

"Of course."This one word only, And he brought his lips closer to mine till his breath tingled on my upper lip.

Very slowly and gently he covered my mouth with his.

And that was that, I heard the chorus, I saw the fireworks.

That was the signal that I was truly and madly in love with Edwin Thompson.
