Hey, do you like me? - True Crush story

Hey, do you like me? - Part 17

After that, I took Reina home holding her tight, so that she wouldn't fall to the ground. The 13 minutes it took us to get to Reina's home was the most special 13 minutes I've ever experienced, because we were so close, I could literally hear her breathing, no, I could feel her breathing, her breaths were all so very soft, it was a little ticklish as it hit my neck. When I got home, I flopped down on the bed and thought over what had happened. I smiled to myself and picked up my phone. I had a text from Reina! My heart fluttered as I saw her name on the screen. I immediately opened the text and the messages said, "Thanks for today! You saved me from the big bad guy! 😂"

I grinned. I started to reply, "No problem! I'm glad I was able to save the damsel in distress" and hit the send button. Then I remembered how Kian told me that he had started liking Reina as well. I starred at the ceiling, thinking of what to say to him because I can't just ignore him for the entire time or tell him to quit liking Reina. After all, we are still friends. I opened up the messages between me and Kian and started to type. I told him how I respected his feelings towards Reina and understood that there is no way of avoiding love because love is something unstoppable. Halfway through, I felt really cringy. Kian and I usually don't talk about this cheesy lovey-dovey stuff, but I knew I had to, for the sake of our friendship. I continued typing. I told him that I liked her too and I can't stop liking her and knew that it was the same for him too. 'So let's just simply, like her, both of us, and liver normally. Nothing sneaky or nothing that will ruin our friendship, because I still totally want to be friends with you', I typed at the end. Then, I hit the send button. That was probably the longest text I've typed before...

I took a shower to refresh myself, other than the Kian's surprising confession, it was a good day, so I couldn't help but whistle a tune. As I pulled on a pair of sweatpants and a hoodie, I suddenly remembered that not everything was going great. I still had to go to the Valentines Day Dance with Megan. Ugh, I thought to myself. I opened my closest and eyed my suit that Megan got for me for the dance. I really liked the suit, probably the only good thing about going to the dance with Megan. Then a lightbulb clicked in my head. Just because I was going to the Valentines Day Dance with Megan, it didn't mean that I couldn't give a Valentine to Reina! But a Valentine for a girl is so not me, I thought. I stood in the middle of my room, my hair still dripping, thinking it over. I wanted to give Reina a Valentines gift, but I didn't want to make it obvious. After a while fo thinking, I convinced myself that I could just write a note and put it in her locker anonymously. 

My heart started beating faster with excitement! There were 2 more days until Valentines Day. I pulled out a pencil and notepad and started to think up of what to write on the card for Reina. I wrote:

Roses are red

Violets are Blue

I never told you this

But I really like you

I read it then ripped it off, unsatisfied. It was too awkward sounding and so unoriginal.

I thought it over even more. I searched through love poems on the internet for inspiration. Nothing clicked to mind. I layed down, closed my eyes, and started to think of her. Her hair so soft and smooth, her nose so small and cute, her cheeks always so pink, her smile so gentle and unresistable, her laugh like the sound of a twinkling star, and her eyes always sparkling with passion. 

I then jolted up and grabbed my notepad, and wrote down my thoughts on Reina. Everything just flowed out of me and I wrote madly. Then I formed my thoughts on her into a poem. As I finished, I read through my poem and smiled, it was perfect.

Reina,

Your hair, so soft and smooth

Your nose, so small and adorable

Your cheeks, always so rosy and pink

Your smile, so gentle and unresistable

Your laugh, so precious

Your eyes, always sparkling with passion

You are like the brightest blooming flower in a field

You are very special to me

Because you make me feel like the most special person alive
