Chapter 26

I really liked his laugh, and I automatically wanted to hear it more often. Was it weird to like someone’s laugh? I didn’t think so.

“I had so much fun.” I swung our hands like a child, “Let’s do this again sometime.”

“Sure, anytime you want.” He smiled broadly, giving me the slight impression that he was happy to see me happy.

See, honey? Silver purred. This guy is perfect for us.

Yeah. I sighed dreamily. Too perfect for me.

Nate and I have been walking around town for what seemed only a few seconds, when in fact it had been quite a few hours. We had had dinner at a fast food place, and we laughed and shared stories the whole time. We spent those hours learning even more than we had on our first date, and even though it seemed impossible, I began to love him even more. He was such a sweetheart, and he just was too good to be true. So good, that I began to fear for the possibility that he would get bored of me and leave. I knew that if that were to happen, I would mostly likely drop to the ground and die… How could I have ignored him all summer? How could I have just ignored these gorgeous sensations that arise by just one touch, or how my heart yearned for him in more ways than one, and even that warm fuzzy feeling when I just hear his name? Was this what love feels like? Real love? Am I not hallucinating all of this? Everything was just too good to be true! How can I find myself falling for him even more every day? Is this what people mean by endless love? Endless being that you fall harder and harder, and you never stop loving them? How is this even possible? I thought I loved him to my heart’s limit!

Maybe it had to do with the fact that we were actually spending time together, now, and not jumping each other’s bones. Don’t get me wrong, I am still hormonally attracted to him, but that is not what real love is supposed to be, is it? You are supposed to love the other inside and out, for who they are, it doesn’t matter if they will bring you pleasure… well, actually it does. Don’t want an abusive husband and all that, but the point has been given.

“Thank you…” I stopped in front of my house. “For… everything.”

My heart fluttered when he took my hand and brought it to his lips, just like the night at the bonfire. “The pleasure is all mine.”

I giggled, which was so unlike me. “Formal much?”

He shrugged, but smiled with good humor. “You deserve more than you have.”

I blushed, “Um… I…”

“You’re beautiful when you blush.” He smiled wider when I turned a darker shade of pink.

I could never get used to how much of a romantic Nate was. I mean, in school and around others he was always high and mighty. But when he was around me and whenever we were alone, he would come off his high horse and sway me in a way that made me feel special and important. One selfish thought wanted him to only be like this with me, but I knew that someone as good as him will eventually get bored of me and leave… So I will enjoy this while I still have it.

“I… Do you want to come in?” I offered.

He shook his head, “It’s pretty late.” He smiled at my sad face, “I would love too, but I need to get back.”

Christina. “Tell her that I said Hi…” I paused, “And say something along the lines of ‘Luna knows how you feel’.”

He nodded sadly, running a hand through his sexy blonde hair. “I hope she comes out of that room soon. She hasn’t eaten anything since she entered that room.”
