I Cant Help Falling For You

You

Noah POV

I'm sure that Millie is going somewhere with her comment, but in the meantime, she sounds like she is on something.
She giggles slightly, and then stops herself.
"I know I probably sound stupid. But, just like our friendship, this fan spins around in endless circles and circles. Thats all it does." She says.
"Okay... So what does that mean?" I say innocently.
She sighs heavily, and my ears are ready for some kind of lecture.
"It means that, we never get anywhere. Its just spins again and again and again. Every time we get close to something new, it just goes back to the same cycle as it always does."
Her analogy is starting to confuse me, so I snap a little bit.
"Millie, I don't understand." I say straight up, sounding a little annoyed.
She cuts me off slightly.
"I wanna go somewhere, Noah." She says softly. She looks up from her fiddling fingers and into my eyes.
I've never seen her like this before.
I've never seen her so... Nervous...
She takes another deep breath.
"I want to look into your eyes, and-and I wanna stay like that. I want to keep looking into your eyes. I want to hold hands, and I never want to stop. I want us to look at each other, and I want to not be afraid of the feelings that take over us. And you really don't know how bad I just wanna kiss you, Noah."
My eyes widen as I hear her last sentence.
All this time I thought it was just me...
We stare at each other in a long but comfortable silence.
She looks taken aback from what she confessed. She finally builds up the courage to speak.
"D-do you understand, now?" She asks, once again nervously.
I take her hand in mine and squeeze it tightly, massaging it.
I nod.
We are both nervous, but we are no longer afraid.
She begins to smile, but before she can, I lean in and kiss her.
