He Imprinted On Me {Rewriting}

Chapter Eleven

After what felt like forever, we pulled away for air, his forehead rested against mine. He had a soft smile on his face as he continued to stare into my eyes. I  couldn't help but smile up at him, giving him one more small kiss, this one not lasting near as long as the frist one. Then that being my first kiss, it was perfect, and I wouldn't have asked for it to be any different or with anyone else.

"Do you feel better now? " I asked him, he lightly smiled.

"Now that you that?" I nodded my head, giving off yet another smile. "You have no idea, its been killing me, not telling you."

"You know you can tell me anything and everything, we've knkw each other long enough to know when the other is lying." He smiled and gave off a small huffed laugh, knitting that I was right.

 "Well, I haven't even told your everything yet." He told me and I nodded my head, with a light smiled, he let out a sigh of relief. "But, now I can, and that's gonna take alot off my chest." He smiled and I nodded my head before he gave me another kiss. "And a feel amazing, being able to kiss you." I lightly smiled, my normal shy smile that I haf more times than I could count. "You don't know how long I've been waiting to do so."

"I wish you told me sooner." I told him, and he gave me a small sad smile. "I wish you told me everything from the beginning."

"I do too, and you'll know more in time." He told me, and I nodded my head. "You'll know everything."

"In time?" I asked, he smiled and nodded his head.

"There's a lot more that I wish I could have told you, all from the beginning. It wasn't my decision, and it's taken alot just to get to this point. " He spoke with a light shake of his head. "I'm going to tell you more, just not right now. I can, but I don't think this is the right time." I nodded my head, knowing that he was right.

"Do you think we should head back?" I asked him after a long moment of silence, and just staring into each others eyes.

"Yeah, I bet we should. It's getting late, your mom is probably worried about you." He said then leaded back and took my hand, I intertwined our fingers together.

Everything felt so peaceful, to hold his hand, and for it to mean something more. It wasn't just the best friend holding her best friends hand as she dragged him somewhere. There was feelings behind it, feelings that I never believed would be shared. I couldn't help but smile as I looked down at our hands, it made me feel all giddy inside.

We began to walk back, it was a quiet walk once again, but I didn't mind. It was a different type of silence this time, it was a good one, it was relaxing. I was glad I was with him, making the time even more relaxing. The time I didn't get to spend with him, the time where I would just be alone, it felt like none of that mattered now.

The time I had spent hiding my feelingd, it felt like a lifetime waisted, even though I would have waited forever. Without him, I felt empty, he was my best friend after all, and the person I loved. I feel safe around him, but without him, I was scared, because I know that I can always trust that he'll protect me. Without him being around,  I felt like my heart was being pulled out if my chest. I could always feel the panic start to set in. It honestly ached when I'm not around him. That hasn't always been the case, that is only something that I just started to feel.

  As we got closer to his house a thought popped into my mine, completely changing my train of thought. It wasn't like that was a new thing either, as I found myself easily distracted. Jacob would always say that I had the mind of a squirrel. As a gift one time he had got me a bag of nuts, and he had even made it to say squirrel food on the front of it.

"Are we a couple now? " I asked out of the blue, breaking the silence once more. It was a small question, but it meant a lot, atleast to me it meant a lot. To others, it didn't mean a thing, it was just a title for them to carry around. A label to show something, sometimes it was to prove something pointless that would mean a thing once high school was over.

"I don't know, maybe." He spoke with a small smile as he looked down at me. "If you want us to be." I couldn't help but stare down at my feet with a smile, hoping the darkness would hide the blush that was forming on my face. "So can I take your smile as a yes?" He asked, with a small laugh. I looked up and rolled my eyes.

"If you want to." I joked with a smirk, playing the same game he was. Although I had dreamed of this moment so many times before, I had pictured it a thousand different ways. Now that that moment wss here, it wasn't goim any way I would have thought, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

When were finally nearing the edge of the trees, I saw his house come into sight of the clearing. I smiled as an idea popped into my head, I slowly began to let go of his hand and then I began to run to the house. I could hear him, as he cased after me, and I knew it was only a matter of time before I was caught. I let out a laugh and continued to run, not planning on giving up any time soon. I felt like a little kid again, without a care in the world, and it felt amazing. I remember when we use to do this when we were little, running around and chase each other around. He had always been faster than me, even back then, and nothing has changed.
