Tim's POV
"Get out Victor" I shouted. I didn't want to be around anyone who was not Kim at the moment.
Kim was angry at me yesterday and for once I didn't like the red in her eyes. The whole school probably knew why I almost killed the new guy and I didn't care all I cared about is what Kim was thinking.
She must think I'm a weirdo going around threatening people not to try and date her. I couldn't even bring myself to go to school that day.
"You know what Tim?" Vic said standing near the door.
"I don't care just leave" I hissed.
"You are a coward Timothy Storm" he said calmly.
I stood up and he backed up to the door even more.
"And you are one to talk" I chuckled.
"I wasn't saying physically, yes you can throw a punch. But it's not all there is you know. You love Kim but you are to much of a coward to tell her. Instead you go around threatening other guys that are not cowards like you" he said.
Wtf I'm no coward. Am I?
"Actually you are more than just a coward you are a selfish one to" he shouted.
"Fuck you Vic and you are right about one thing I can throw a punch and if you don't get out now..." I said getting closer.
"Have you ever thought that maybe she also wants a chance in love and you are blocking her chances, if you won't make a move on her then why are you going through so much trouble to make sure others don't too? She deserves happiness and if you love her you should think so too. You should try to make her happy not angry man" he said calmly "see you later man"
With that he left.
Woah.
Okay.
If I won't make a move on her then why am I going through so much trouble to make sure others don't too?
Maybe I really am a coward. Truth is I was afraid of rejection. Before I started threatening guys to stay away from her I used to watch her reject guys, handsome guys every day I was afraid she would do the same to me,
I am afraid.
I had been selfish, I realise that. I needed to make things right.
I'm done being a coward.
If I get rejected so be it, atleast I'll know her answer instead of living on the assumption that she doesn't like me.
Two hours later in front of Kim's door.
I knocked hesitantly on the door but she opened it.
"Tim what are you doing here, are hurt again?" she asked searching my body for a wound, if I wasn't nervous I would have found that amusing.
"No I came here to talk to you" I said. She just stood there and it wasn't helping my anxiety.
"Please" I added.
"Come in" she said making way for me to get in.
Her little shack wass really nice. It was warm and welcoming, I would love to live here instead of that mansion. The mansion is nice and all but it was missing something that I can't really think of.
"So?" she said closing the door. I really didn't know where to start.
"Do you believe in love?" I asked looking straight in the eyes.
She walked straight to her bed and sat down then patted the spot next to her ushering me to sit next to her and I did just that.
"To be honest I don't know" she answered truthfully. A strand of hair fell from her pony tail and I had to resist the edge to reach over and play with it.
"Do you?" she asked.
"To be honest I used to think I didn't. But I realized it's human to love, to have feelings towards another. To look at someone and be like I love her it proves you are alive and you are human" I said.
"That's one way to look at it, I guess" she said.
"Are you angry at me?" I asked.
"If I say yes I'll be lying" she said and I smiled a little "if I say no I'll be lying also"
"What does that mean?" I asked confused.
"It means I'm just as confused as you are" she said.
"Go ahead then ask me"
"Why, why did you threaten guys to stay away from me?" she asked.
"Because none of them are good enough for you, they won't love you the way I do Kim" I said and she opened her eyes wide in shock. Her eyes went from purple to orange. Then I realized I just said I love her.
"Yes I love you, I've been a coward for too long"
"What makes you think you are good enough huh? you are no better" she said.
"I'm not that's why I've been afraid to tell you how I feel"
"You are a jerk most of the time too" she said.
"I was being a jerk on purpose to make you angry so I can see your red eyes, I know it's crazy but it's the truth"
"Ok, atleast you are not a natural jerk" she said.
"Kim"
"That's me"
"Why are you so calm about this?"
"You loving me?"
"Yeah"
"Maybe because I already had a hunch that you did, ok Dee is the one who had a hunch she also had a hunch that I like you too" she said while leaning down with a smile.
"Dee is clever and if she was right about me she's definitely right about you too, I mean she's your best friend she must really know you" I said following her lead and leaning on the bed too, both of us facing the roof.
"I'm afraid she might be" she said.
Should I be happy cause my heart is already celebrating.
"Stop smiling like that you jerk" she said half laughing.
"So will you be my g-girlfriend" I said stuttering a little on girlfriend.
"Nah you first have to do something crazy to prove your worth" she said snickering.
"Isn't beating and threatening guys to stay away from you crazy enough" I asked trying to sound serious.
"No and I'm angry at you for beating up Junior"
"Uh yeah" I said coughing to try and hide my laugh.
"Tell me you are not laughing right now"
"I'm not"
"Jerk" she said punching my arm.
"Ouch" I said and she laughed and I ended up joining her.
