You Make Me Beautiful

Chapter 9: Would you kiss me right now?

-Sadie-

"I win," I say, laughing and panting at the same time.

"You got a head start," He says, he's panting harder than me, I find that funny, especially because I could run a lot faster.

"I still woulda won though," He laughs and I stand up.

"Let's go swimming," He says, pulling off his shirt. Is that a six pack? I look away, not wanting him to catch my staring. I begin to pull off my shorts and I can see him staring out of the corner of my eye, it surprisingly doesn't make me uncomfortable. I have always felt comfortable around Davy, even before we met. I pull off my shirt and I swear I can see his eyes widen. I pull out my ponytail and I see him take off towards the water. I run after, the water splashing up onto my ankles. I run out to where he is, the water is up to our stomach and the water keeps threatening to knock us over. I let out a laugh. He splashes me, I splash him back. I hold my breath and plunge under the water, it's freezing but feels good. I come back up to find him gone. I look around and he jumps up from under the water. I let out a laugh.

"I have a question." I say.

"Shoot."

"Have you ever felt small and insignificant in this world?" I ask. He gives me a look.

"Okay, that got really deep really fast, but yes I have felt like that. Every day, I feel that way every day." He answers looking off into the distance. "Now I have a question for you."

"Shoot." I say, giggling.

"Have you ever put your true feelings aside because you're afraid that you'll ruin something that is amazing?"

"Yup."  I look back at him. He' staring intently into my eyes. Honestly Davy can be so intense sometimes. But neither of us look away. He means me. I know it. I look down, splashing the waves with my hand. I look up. He takes a step closer, I can feel his breathe on my face.

 "I have another question." He says, he is still barely an inch away from my face and I just barely move my head in a silent nod. "If you knew I wanted to, would you kiss me right now?"

Woah, I think. What do I do? There's only one correct way to answer the question, and that'd be to..to...to kiss him. My heartbeat speeds rapidly, I swear he can hear it. A chill runs down my spine. He inches closer to my face. Our noses now touching. I lean in and close my eyes.

"Davy?" An upset girl's voice interrupts the- moment. I shove Davy away from me, putting some space in between us. I feel my cheeks get hot and I am probably blushing so much. "What are you-"

"Kate, calm down, it's not what it looks like." Kate, his sister? The sister that dated my brother, Adam? How is this not what it looks like? Wait! Was I actually gonna kiss Davy? What the- I am filled with shock and, almost, horror as Kate yells at Davy. What is happening? I'm so confused. But I know I'm not the only one who is confused.
