The Way He Loved Me

Part 12

************Tyler's POV******

I couldn't wait another second. If Allie wasn't going to kiss me in the next second, then I was breaking the promise that I made to myself a long time ago. Just as I knew I couldn't take it anymore I felt Allie's lips on mine, and everything melted away. At first I tried to hold back myself, but I had been waiting since the second day of Kindergarten to kiss her. My body was tingling, and the world around us compeltely stopped. I wrapped my hands in her hair, and was going to run my tongue across her bottom lip, but I had a sharp pain in my abdomen, and I abruptly stopped kissing her.

"Sorry." She was blushing and biting her lip, and she looked cuter than ever.

"It wasn't your fault Allie, I just.. I don't want to take this too fast." I lied. I didn't want her to start worrying just because I had some stupid pain in my stomach.

"Oh. Okay..." Her eyes were sparkling, and she had a slight smile playing on her lips.

I took her hands off my face and held them instead. "I was afraid that you didn't like me. I tried to wait a long time, but I couldn't wait any longer.. I was afraid to ruin our friendship-"

"I know. I've felt the same way.. how long..-" Her eyes were wide, and her face was slowly getting closer to mine again.

"Since the second day of Kindergarten... I know that's forever.. but.. what?"

Her eyes were starting to water, and the tears filled her eyes like little pools before trickling perfectly down her cheeks. "I've loved you.. Since that first day of Kindergarten... When you came up and gave me that daisy.."

I kissed her this time, and I didn't wait for permission to explore her mouth. It was exiting, and I somehow made my way into the jacket that she was wearing. My arms were wrapped around her body, and her hands were tangled into my hair. She pulled away this time, and I kissed her neck very gently before she layed her head on my chest.

"Allie..." I was breathless, and I was actually nervous.

"Yes?"

"I love you."

************Allie's POV******

"I love you."

There was no way that he had just said that. My biological mom and dad had taught me that nobody loved you, and there he was telling me that he loved me. Tears started flowing uncontrollably from my eyes.

"Allie? What's wrong?" He moved his hands from my back to my face, and he looked into my eyes with so much love. Love was beaming from his eyes. "I love you, it's alright."

When he said that, I saw that spark in his eyes, the same one that I had seen in the hospital for those brief seconds. I knew that he was serious, and that he had loved me then too.

"I love you too."

He brushed his thumbs across my cheeks and wiped away my tears. He opened his mouth to say something, but I shook my head and silenced him with my lips.

We kissed for hours. Nothing stopping us, nothing in our way. He didn't tell me again that he loved me, but I could tell that he was showing me how much he loved me. When we weren't kissing, we were wrapped in each others arms, and when I started to yawn he picked me up bridal style and carried me to the hotel.

When we were at the room, he put me back on my feet and told me goodnight. He kissed my cheek, and as I was closing the door he smiled and waved a small wave goodnight. I stumbled over to my bed, and fell asleep as soon as I hit the pillow.

*************

"Allie, wake up." Tyler was shaking me, and he had his bag swung over his shoulder. "Allie, come on, we're going to miss our plane! Get up."

I sleepily stumbled into the bathroom and brushed my hair and my teeth. As I walked back out, i noticed the clock on the dresser said 4:45 am. Tyler grabbed my suitcase, and I took my little toiletries bag, and he took my hand and lead me to the cab that was waiting for us.

Before the driver drove away, we waved to Mom and I layed my head on his shoulder and drifted back to sleep. It was a two hour drive to the airiport, but it when Tyler woke me up to get out of the cab, it felt like I had only been sleeping a few minutes.

We made it through the airport, and through security, and eventually boarded our plane. I was still tired from the hour of sleep that I had gotten the night before, and even though I had slept in the cab, I was still exausted, so I cuddled up next to Tyler and drifted off to sleep.

When I woke up again, I was still on the airplane and my seat was all the way back. I was laying on my side cuddled up with a 1st class pillow and a blanket draped around me. Tyler was next to me asleep, and I lightly kissed his lips and laced my fingers with his before falling back asleep.

*********************

It was two days later when I recieved a call from my mom. She explained how she had sold the house because she wasn't there to fix it back up. When I asked her about where I was staying, she told me to figure that one out on my own. When I told Tyler, he showed me to his parent's old room. He had completely redecorated it, and it had a queen sized bed in it. The walls were purple, and the comforter was brown and creme zebra striped.

"You can stay in my house for as long as you want. I love you, and since I'm the only one who lives here now.. I wan't you to live with me." He was standing behind me and he had his arms wrapped around my waist.

"Thank you..." I was so happy that I finally had Tyler.
