Late Nights

Another Night

     I was at his house again. It was about a month after the last time I spent the night. I smiled as I sat with Aaron. We were playing truth or dare but with easy dares. It was two in the morning and it was my turn to ask him a truth question.

     "Do you like anyone? If so, who?" I asked grinning. I was surprised this hadn't come up in the past hour of playing this.

     "I- um..." His voice trailed off. I wrapped my arms around his neck and smiled up at him.

     "Come on. Tell me," I smirked. He blushed and looked at me smiling up at me.

     "I like y..." His voice trailed off. 

     "W-Who?" I asked.

     "You," He said quietly. I don't think he thought I would hear him. I looked at him with loving eyes. Then I could see he knew I heard him. He looked into my eyes and gently pushed me off of his lap and stood up.

     "I think I'm going to go to bed in my room tonight. Good night," He said walking towards the stairs. I got up and ran to him. I stood in his way and smiled at him. I leaned up to kiss him but I was too short. I blushed and just hugged him. He picked me up and then I kissed him.

     "I love you, too," I smiled. He blushed and he carried me into his room. I was sitting in his lap. 

     "Aaron, I love you, but what about what everyone else will think? We've had this talk before," I said nervously.

     "I don't care what they think anymore. I love you more than anything else in this world. Please, I want to try this. We don't have to tell everyone right away. We can date in secret for a while," He said with his eyes into my eyes. His dark eyes made me shiver. 

      "We can try it. If something doesn't work out between us please, we need to stay good friends, unless we end on bad terms. Ok?" I asked. I loved this man.

      "Ok," He smiled. I kissed him and we spent about an hour cuddling and talking. I eventually fell asleep in his lap with his arms around me.
