JJ's POV
I stood there watching Talia talk about all the reasons she regretted sleeping with Rafe. I didn't want to listen to them because listening to them made it real. It made that fact real. Honestly, I wasn't even mad at her for doing it. I don't have control over what she does. I was mad because she didn't tell me. We told each other everything no matter what.
I was also jealous. I was jealous that Rafe got to be with her. All I've ever wanted was to be with Talia, and not even for sex. I loved her. I'm in love with her. It made me so angry listening to her, and when I get angry, I fight. I was so angry that I let it take over me, which happens a lot.
She didn't understand why every bone in my body wanted to kill Rafe with my own two hands. What she didn't know, was that I was actually holding back every ounce of love I had for her. We did make a promise to always tell each other everything, so I told her.
I told her that I loved her. She stood there not knowing what to say. I knew this was going to change everything for us. I knew she didn't love me back, not in that way at least.
"Talia, don't. I know what you're going to say, and I can't. Please." I resisted every urge to shed even a single tear. I couldn't stand knowing I would be stuck in the friend zone for the rest of my li-
"JJ, I love you too."
What? She has to be messing with me. She couldn't be telling the truth, right? She just felt bad for me. I know we joke about this stuff, but she didn't love me. Not like that at least. I scanned her face looking for words to say as if I was trying to detect she was lying. Our eyes locked. The way she looked at me at that moment, was the way I always looked at her. And I knew she was telling the truth. I let all my worrying and selfishness go and did what I wanted.
I kissed her and that was the best moment of my entire life. My hands ran through her hair, and hers through mine. She smiled into the kiss but I didn't stop. I never wanted this moment to end. She was the love of my life. She was it.

TALIA's POV
I laughed a little to myself, still holding the kiss. JJ held my face so close to his I could barely breathe, but I didn't care. All that mattered was that I was totally and completely in love with him.
He pulled away from me, still holding onto my face, staring into my eyes. I stared back into his. His bright blue ocean eyes that could make a girl swoon in an instant.
He blinked, almost trying to see if this was real life. I grazed my thumb over his cheek and he kisses me again. This time I giggled out loud.
"Ho*kiss*-Ly *kiss* shit." He laughed while kissing me.
"Holy shit" I responded with a laugh. He pulled away and his hands dropped to my waist. I crept closer to him and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"So what does this mean for like, us?" I asked pulling my face away from his neck, looking at him, still being held in his arms.
