Ryan sends me home in silence since neither of us has any topic to talk about and I'm so tired after a long day. So, I just sat back in my seat looking at the view outside throughout our way back home.
When we arrive, I get my things and thank Ryan for accompanying me today. But, before I open the door, Ryan stops me.
"Wait, Abby." He holds my left hand.
"Yes? Did I forget anything?"
"No, actually I have something to ask."
Okay, sounds serious. He could ask me anytime but it seems serious as he waited for us stop here to ask.
"Okay. What is it?" I sit back again in my seat, waiting for him to ask me his question.
"I'm serious when I ask you just now."
I know he meant the one about the boyfriend part but I didn't expect that he is serious.
"Uhm, do I need to answer that? I mean I don't think I remember what you asked just now." I play with the hem of my dress trying to look away from him as I'm too nervous to look at his eyes.
"Okay, look at me." He takes my hands and holds them. I kind of shocked but I wait for him to proceed.
"I don't know if this is the right time, but will you be my girlfriend?" He looks at me in the eyes and I'm looking into his. We are quiet for a while as he waits for my answer.
"Why do you want me to be your girlfriend? I mean you could have anyone as your girlfriend and any girls would want you to be their boyfriend. So.... why me?" really, Abby? you've liked him for a long time and that's all you could answer after he asks you to be his girlfriend?
"If it isn't obvious enough, I like you, Abigail. A lot. You make me look at everything differently. How I act, how I think, how I feel, I think all of it is now influenced by you. The way you always act positive, be kind to everyone around you, how mature you are in handling your situation. I... The more I spend my time with you, the more good I see in you. Which finally makes me fall for you more." He never once looks away as he explains everything and I see how sincere he is, how he softens his eyes and how he smiles a little.
"Okay, that is a lot to process. I'm.... Uh..." I stutter again, trying to build some words to answer him.
Just say it, damn it!
"Abby, you can see how I attract some girls attention but you don't realized that I like you? All this time? I even kissed you. Even though you kiss me firs--" I know what he's about to say so I shut him up with a quick peck on his lips.
He must have taken aback with that because he goes silent for a while.
"I... I like you too." I finally say and I swear I can feel how hot I am right now and I know I blushed so much.
He smirks looking at my reaction. He leans forward more, making our faces just inches away.
"Is that a yes?" He whispers but I can hear him clearly, considering how close we are right now. The amount of space in this car also not helping me to back away.
"Y-yes."
He takes my answer as his cue to kiss me as he quickly kiss me after that. He is very gentle with the kiss. He places a hand to cup my cheek and the other one still holding my hand. I kiss him back, remembering how much I like him and now I get him as my boyfriend? Is this real? But, the feeling of his lips against mine just proves how real is this right now. It's not our first kiss but this time it feels different. Maybe because I finally know that he likes me too and that just makes this feel better.
