MarJoyce One-Shots

Honestly (Chapter 4)

At the dorm, we still wanted to discuss the mutual feelings we had for each other.

"Let's continue that matter, are you really mad at me?" he asked me.

"No, but I am just thinking on what way should I..."

"What?"

"On what way should I express the feeling I felt for you." I answered.

"Joyce, why should you overthink of this?" he asked me once again.

"Because I can't explain how much I care about you. Because I'm always in trouble and I can't think of how much I am desperately nothing... I always care. About you..." I answered.

He hugged me. "Shhhh, don't worry. We can solve it together. We are roommates and best friends too."

"Thanks..." I thanked him. "But... There's one more thing you don't know."

"What is it?" he asked.

"Honestly,..."

I was about to say something but someone's distracting me over my emotions and it's my own feelings. I can't just force him to lose my trust and tell the truth, urging him to start a relationship with me.

"Joyce?" he interrupted me. "Hello?"

"Oh, sorry," I said. "This is it."

I toke a deep breath. I can't handle it anymore. Not that like thing. I really need to let him find out about how desperate I am to him.

"I don't like you anymore..."

This is where things get upside down. As I said those three words earlier, I realize I've been wrong.

"I love you, Marlou."

I whispered. Even if it hurts to me to admit what I really feels, here comes him, comfronting me and always supports me. Now I really admit, my hearts beats fast when he's around.

"...I really regret what happens to both of us, but it seems that I really love you more than just a best friend. I'm thinking how I speak these words to you because I've been in trouble. At first, I fake these feelings after all because I don't want you to know, but I can't. I can't handle over my feelings anymore. I won't be hurt. Now that I admit and tell you, I don't like you, but I love you. I love you more than anything I could say. More than the world I've been standing for."

He's been quiet for a few minutes. He interlocks our hands, facing me.

"I love you too, Joyce." he spoke. "I couldn't say why, words can't describe how much I want to be with you. I wanted to be with you so mad. When we first met, I can't stop staring at you. Until we become friends and, as we develop some feelings, I couldn't say this, because I'm too scared to hear you nothing for me. You were the reason I smile, and you were the reason I'm here."

He pressed a kiss to me, my eyes widen when we kiss. It was very weird to kiss my best friend, but I return the favor and kiss him back, wrapping my arm around him. I smiled into the kiss, slowly pulling away from each other and forehead to forehead, he ask me.

"What does it mean now?" I asked.

"Depending on what you're talking about, but I guess you can call it something. If you wanted too, I would gladly accept you to be my girlfriend from now on."

He hugged me, burying his head in my shoulder.

"Now that it's us, no need to worry, okay?" he said.

"I will," I said.

"Now, how about you'll prepare for tonight," he reminds me. "Because we're about to sleep."

"Alright," I went to the bathroom, changed myself. He follows afterwards, and went to his bed, still holding ny hand.

"Remember, I'll be here with you." he said.

"Thanks for understanding my feelings, I just don't understand..."

"It's alright, Joyce," he said. "It's really alright. We need to sleep. Good night. I love you."

"Night, I love you too."

We slept on the bed. Not a few minutes passed by, he wraps me in his embrace, and I, myself, enjoyed it. We drift to sleep as we feel each other's embrace, wanting to feel him in my arms.

The next day...

"Okay class, something will happen within a week. There'll be an event which will be about your intramurals. President and Vice President, will you please lead your classmates?" I and my vice president, Shayne agreed.

"Great! The event will be better because as members of the event committee, your president and sergeant at arms have solved their disagreements and this will make this event better."

As we were mentioned, Marlou and I faced each other, underneath us is us interlocking our hands. We laced it tightly, never letting ourselves go. I laid my head on his right shoulder, which leads to some sweet chants from my classmates, especially Shayne.

Thanks to Marlou, the man I liked the most is now my boyfriend. I'd never thought I have him right now.

– The End.
