Forbidden Love

Emotional Moments

(Maddie's POV)

"W-what?", I heard him mutter.

Oh. My. God.

Oh my god. I can't breathe. I cannot breathe.

I can't believe I said that. Is it really true? Do I really love Gino?

Yes. It's time to accept it now. I love Gino. I really do. I had loved him from the moment we texted on the bus, but I hadn't accepted the fact until now.

I buried my head in my hands. Why did I say such a stupid thing. Why did I say I loved him. Why did I have to be such a baby and start crying. I should be calm, confident and-

He lifted my head and kissed me.

I have never felt this in my life. It's like my entire heart has exploded into a million pieces of gold and the rest of me has melted.

His kiss was so tender, and calm. The tears slowed down, but were still there, but because of a mixture of relief and joy. He held my face in his hands and stared at me for a few seconds.

"Have I ever told you that I love your eyes?"

I smiled and repled,

"Have I ever told you that I love your smile?"

He laughed.

"Okay, now is a great time to confess everything, I guess. I am in love with you, Maddie, and I have been ever since I was 11. Now, I am 14 and for 3 years, I had to say no to every girl who came my way, because I knew that you were still here in this world. I love your hair, eyes, smile, personality, everything, I love the person that you are. Now, I know that you're going to rock that solo, and I know that you're going to win."

He held my hand and helped me out.

"Do your solo", he whispered, "knowing that I love you"

I nodded and I walked on stage and got in position. I was ready for this solo. 

The music started, and I danced with all my heart.

Meaning, that I was dancing for Gino.
