Exchange For a Year

Chapter 24

A/N: IK I haven't added the picture for this chapter or the last chapter but its hard to find the right ones, they'll probs just appear randomly one day cause I get bored LOL. But in other words 2K reads! I am shook. WOW thanksyousomuch to all my fabulouso readers out there. It really means a lot to me.

Aph's POV

Katelyn was right, the longer time I wasted thinking about what could be is more time I lose to what might be something between us. But back onto Katelyn, now's my chance to talk to her if she wants to about whatever has been bothering her.

"Now you, something's been bothering you since the party?"

"Uh I have not idea what you talking about," An obvious lie.

"Katelyn. Something is up, I know it."

She's trying to hide something, but well I can see past it. I want to know so I can help her but I guess she'll tell me in her own time.

"Ok I'll do you a deal. Confess to Aaron and I'll tell you,"

"Fine I will,"

At school I wander off to the music room, where I find Aaron playing his guitar. He only plays for me but that's okay because I know he's shy about it and will play for other people when he's ready to. He looks up and smiles when I enter the room and suddenly I don't think I can do this but I'm gonna try.

"Aaron can I um tell you something?"

"Sure,"

"I uh I... I like you!" Cue the blush.

"I like you too,"

"No... as in I..."

Why are words so hard to make right now? Fuck words girl. This is a lot harder than I anticipated it would be, Katelyn knew I'd try so she dangled her truth in front of me. Dammit. Well I no longer have a choice whether I tell him, so I smash my lips against his placing both hands on his cheeks. He does nothing for a moment but soon kisses back, I can feel his hands slide around my waist. We both pull away at the same time.

"Aph what was that?"

"I um really like you Aaron, I'm just scared cause I leave in half a year."

"Admittedly I don't want you to go."

He wants me to be here, he wants me to stay. That really puts a smile on my face, I feel so safe with his arms around me and would rather him never letting go.

"So does this mean you'd go on a date with me?"

I kiss him again hoping he's smart enough to understand what that means and I feel on top of the world. I never imagined coming to America would be such a blessing but a curse in disguise. I don't know what's gonna happen when I have to leave but we'll wait for that time to come. Now was just about what I wanted.

"I really like you too, you little potato,"

"POTATO?

"You're small like a potato therefore you are one."

"That no makes sense,"

"Sorry I won't call you that then," whispering in my ear "Potato."
