Are You The One ?

❄ Chapter Five ❄

"I think of lovers as trees, growing to and from one another. Searching for the same light."

Did I really just confess all of that to Dwayne?

That was the first time since the breakup that I actually spoke about it to anyone. I felt a sense of relief finally getting that hurt off my chest and out of my system. I won't go into detail about the person because he's irrelevant and a non factor in my life. Just know that they hurt me bad and is part of the reason why I have this blackheart. 

I saw how Dwayne was looking when he thought something was going on between me and Korey, which is why I was laughing at him. He was making a big deal out of nothing. So I thought the only way to help him get rid of his theories was to confess to him.

"All I'm asking for is a chance."

Am I ready to open up and let someone in again? Is it time for the wall that I spent so much time putting up to come down? What if I give him a chance and my heart gets broken again?

All these questions and more flooded my brain.

Of course I have my doubts but I can't help the feelings that I have for this person. They grow every time I see or come into contact with him. But like I told him, I'm scared. At the same time, I think it's time to finally listen to my heart.

And my heart is saying that I want to be in a relationship with him. 

Now the question is...how do I go about telling him that? I don't want to do it over the phone or through text. I don't even have his number. I definitely don't want to tell him at school. So I figured the best option was to DM him and tell him to come by my house. 

I sent him my address and he said that he'd be right over. I don't know if he lives nearby or what because he arrived in 10 minutes.

As soon as he knocked on the door, I opened it to see him smiling from ear to ear. I invited him in and then we walked over to the couch. 

"Thanks for coming by. I know you probably wasn't expecting to hear from me so soon."

"Anything for you."

He is making my decision a lot easier. 

"So I invited you here because I took some time to think to myself about what you said to me. And...yes."

Dwayne looked at me confused but didn't say anything. 

"Yes I am willing to give you a chance."

After I said that, his face lit up like a kid waking up on Christmas morning. He pulled me into his lap and brought me in for a hug. I like being in his arms like this. 

I really hope I don't regret this decision. I hope he proves to me that he is different from others. 

My parents were away on a business trip for the weekend, so I had the house to myself. Me and Dwayne stayed in the living room, ordered pizza and wings and watched a bunch of movies. I made him watch my favorite 'Bring It On' movies (All or Nothing, the first one and Fight for the Finish). He wasn't even paying attention to the movies, he was just talking about how good the girls looked.
