"What are you doing?" He said
"Um nothing... I.. I was just. Um" you say nervously
He reaches his hand out for the phone and sees that you are on chases messages. He looks at you. You lock eyes with him.
"Do you really feel that way?" You say when finally get up enough courage to break the silence.
"I...I do.do you hate me now? I'm sorry."
You stand and say, "I could never hate you. And you shouldn't be sorry for your feelings. Just like I'm not sorry for mine." You reply
"And what exactly are those.....feelings" he says anxiously.
You just stare at him and take a step closer. He does the same. Up until the point where y'all are so close that you are almost touching. He leans in-
"Anthony I'm home!" His mother calls from down stairs.
He looks at you and then turns around to walk out the room.
"Are you coming or not?" He said
You follow him down the stairs toward his mom as she greets you with a hug.
"You have grown up so much, feels like I haven't seen you in forever!" She said in her perky high pitched voice.
"Ah I'm sorry I've been... busy lately but i should be around more often..maybe." You turn around and look at Anthony. He smiles.
"Okay well you two kids have fun and be safe. Make good decisions.. i'm just getting my earrings. I'm going on a date with a real hottie. His name is herald. Mhm okay now bye" she says walking out the door not waiting for a reply.
"So, wanna go back to my room.. or?" He said
"Uh sure i don't care." You smile and say
As you walk back up to his room you can here him humming behind you. 'His voice is so cute' you think.
You not even half way in the door way before he grabs your hand and twirls you around. Your eyes meet his and he puts his soft hand on your cheek. He leans in and you don't stop him. You feel his lips meet yours. You felt like this missing piece in your life had been filled and now you were genuinely happy. He grabs both of your hands and looks you in the eyes and says, "I love you. And not just the I love you because I'm bored or i love you because your beautiful, because yes you are but I love you because you perfect inside and out and I think that we can make even more perfect happen if we are together. And I understand if you say no because you just got out of a relationship. But I want a chance with you. And I will wait as long as I must wait but all I know is that I want you. Y/n .. you are my perfect." He says with soft eyes and serious smile.
"Yes." You say and then lean in and kiss him.
Maybe happiness is possible.
