You Need Me

Would You Say Yes?

He looks up at me with his big brown eyes and it really catches me off guard as I realise how cute and gorgeous the boy really is. His expression shows slight confusion but is obviously waiting for me to say something. "I'm sorry," Is the first thing that blurts out my mouth until it all comes pouring from me in a huge chunk. "I'm sorry for walking away and not giving you an explanation, I am sorry for not speaking to you for the last couple of days, I am sorry for everything that I have caused to you, everything. I like you Trent, I really, really like you. It's just, I'm not ready. I'm not ready to move on from Adam, I know that it may seem stupid to you but he was the light of my world and I am not ready to. I don't know when I will, but honestly...I am willing to take things slow if you are...that's only if you want to."

Trent looks up at my with wide eyes and his mouth slightly open clearly surprised about what just came out of my mouth. He still seems somewhat confused and his eyebrows are raised. "What?!" He has a huge grin on his face and gapes up at me in complete disbelief. "Are you being serious?!"

Trent is up on his feet now and looks down at me awaiting to confirm that what I just said is for real. "Well, I ain't joking." I bite my lip to try to hold back a smile but it is no use it is already spread wide across my blue face.

"You mean, if I ask you to be my girlfriend would you say yes?" Trent looks up and bites his lip clearly feeling happy and embarrassed as he takes my hands in his.

A blush smothers my face and electricity bolts through me at his soft, gentle touch. Excitement fills up inside of me at the thought of being the girlfriend of the gorgeous, kind, gentle, and, not to mention, the athletic Trent Alexander-Arnold. How can I refuse a boy like this? I know that Adam is still a part of me, but at some point I have to move on, even if it hurts to love someone else, I can't stay and keep my heart with someone who is...is...no longer. Then we meet each other's gaze and I look up at him with adoration and passion. "Is that you asking me to be yours, Arnold?" I bite my lip teasingly.

"It may just be, so, my favourite Henderson, what do you say to the irresistible offer of being mine?" He opens his arms and I know exactly what I am gonna say.

"How can I say no? Of course I will!" I wrap my arms tightly around him and I can tell that he is happy by how tightly he wraps his arms around me.

I take in his smell and close my eyes as joy really consumes me.

I am now officially the girlfriend of Trent Alexander-Arnold.

After the hug we sit down on the metal chairs to continue watching the trials, also it's kind of good to watch them so I can see who is my true competition and who I don't need to worry much about. "You did amazing on your trial run by the way." Trent puts his arm round my shoulders and squeezes my left shoulder proudly.

"Cheers, has anyone done better than me because I know that I was at the top when I had my run." I lean a little closer to Trent but my heart is beating so fast that if I get any closer to him I will explode.

"Nope, no one has even come close. Looks like you are gonna be taking first place, Nat."

"Now don't go saying that just yet, anything can happen in a race just like anything can happen in a game of football." I fold my arms across my chest and put one of my legs over the other.

"You know your problem, Nat." He looks down at me tearing his eyes away from the car that is currently going round the track for their trial run.

"What's that then, Trent?"

"You're too down on yourself. You never give yourself any credit, when you have a good race you say things like, oh I could have done better but oh well. You even say that when you win. You don't give yourself enough credit and when someone tries to give you a compliment, you counteract it with a negative. Honestly, Nat, you are perfect and deep down I know that you know that."
