The Outcast

Chapter 23

What the...

I can't believe it. Blake Shelton?

A Blake Shelton concert. He really didn't have to do this. No. I think I really am in love with Charles. How does he eve-

"I just know."

He cut my thought short. How'd he even know what I was thinking?

While Blake was talking to some, obsessed, flirty fan in the audience, I turned to Charles, putting all of my pride a side, saying, "I think I might be in love with you." Laughing after so I won't look like a fool if he doesn't feel that way.

Well not all of my pride, because the words, "I love you," which I really wanted to say, couldn't find it's way out of my mouth.

Him though. He said it.

"I love you too baby."

He hit me with a knowing smile and kissed me on the cheek, then placed his hand around my waist. He rolled me into him, with us sharing the air, we kissed.

He held me for a while and danced. I was really in love with Blake but Charles was a bit more , worth it. I would never get through with Blake.

Anyway, enough about Blake and back to my love life.

Charles' POV

"Mine would be you
Sun keeps shining, back road flying
Singing like crazy fools
Making up our own words
Laughing 'til it hurts
Baby, if I had to choose
My best day ever
My finest hour, my wildest dream come true
Mine would be you"

As I held her round cute face in my hands we sang those words to each other, I saw a mild tear drop from her eye.

I wiped it away with my thumb. I don't want my baby crying. Although it's tears of joy, I hope.

He made my eyes water. I couldn't come to understand why someone would do this for me.

This has honestly been one of the best times of my life and I'm happy that it was with him. I just want us to last so badly. If we ever grow apart, I believe that's it for me.

I can't give my love to anyone else.

Well I just don't want to. I want him. I WANT CHARLES ROSEWOOD. But I don't think he knows that, he doesn't know how badly I want him, he doesn't know the impact he's had on my heart.

I'll just have to let him know with one of the three most powerful words. So I looked at him directly in his eyes and said,

"I love you!"
