Our Love

Chapter 5: i think im in love..

So in February I felt like I pretty much knew everything about Ben. And I loved talking to him. All I could think about was him. Or when I could talk to him next. He truly was my world. We talked whenever we could. Our conversations rarely got boring, I felt like I could talk to him about anything.

He was very accepting of me, and I really liked. I'm usually kind of afraid to show people my true self which I shouldn't because when I don't I can tell people like me less. But he liked me for me. And it made me so happy. I was overly happy that I had someone I could talk too and cared about me. And I really cared about him.

One day while we were talking we were just messing around and I said "you love meh." And he took awhile to respond and when he did the message said. "You know, I actually think I do." And I read it and I just stopped, and read it over and over and I couldn't believe it. I remember I was so full of different emotions, I was happy, excited, and nervous all at the same time. He basically just told me he loves me and I didn't know what to say back. After about 10 minutes he probably got worried that I didn't respond and said "I guess you don't feel the same..." I immediately typed back saying "No I do"

The next message from him said "Then say it." But I didn't want to say it first so I said "Why don't you say it first," and he just continued to beg me to say it first so finally I got annoyed and I slowly and shakily typed "I love you"

After what seemed like a life time he replied. I opened it and he said "Oh wow.. Um I'm flattered but you just came on WAY too strong!" I obviously knew he was kidding and being a smart ass so I went along with it and I said "oh.. Um okay. " He then replied with "Haha just kidding babe. I love you too!! :)" and at the Moment I realized that I did actually love him. I loved him a lot and it was crazy.

Now fast forward to March, it was almost close to spring break and he told me that he was going to Florida with his friend. He invited me to come with but obviously I couldn't go. So the Friday that spring break started that night he left to drive down to Florida.
