Maciey

Chapter 7

   Maciey had finished off at least 3 pints of ice cream, and still looked good. That girl could eat anything she wanted without gaining an ounce. We were watching Finding Nemo, one of our favorites. Even after 2 weeks she was still depressed about the break up between her and Alex. All I could do was try and cuddle up with her.

   She seemed to have opened up to me a little more each day. By now, she clearly knew I was in love with her, and she was okay with that. Sometimes she would even hug me from behind, her arms around my waist and her head on my shoulder. She was no more than an inch taller than me, and I was only 5'1.

   It was late on a Saturday night, and she laid in my arms on the couch. We had home-baked cookies and Disney. How much better could this be? Well.. I guess it would be better if we were actually a couple. If only I had the balls to ask her out... Wait that doesn't make any sense since I'm a girl. But how long does it take to get over someone? Maybe I should stop talking to myself... She turned and looked at me with those sparkling pearl blue eyes. "Leo," she tiredly mumbled. "Yeah Mace?" I replied. "I've noticed that you smile and blush when we talk.." I may have toned her out by saying, "I can explain! I'm sorry Mace! I really really love you, okay? So much, I can't stand spending days without you. I always get this pain in my chest when you're gone as if something is missing from me," I looked down. While I was talking she kept trying to make me quiet down. I couldn't stop myself from feeling ashamed of my love for her. I wanted to be loved by her. "Maciey I am so sor-" she planted her lips on mine. I wasn't exactly sure of what was going on, and I was really stupid to try and keep talking when she kissed me. Then I realized that she was kissing me, so I shut up and fell into it. When we pulled away, she said, "Goddamn, Leo, I told you to shut up." I smiled and tried talking again. "Leo, please shut up now so I can sleep." I sarcastically replied with, "If I keep talking, then obviously the kiss didn't work. Maybe you should try again." She rolled her eyes, smiled, and I got quiet. We both soon fell asleep.
