Cassie's Tale on Life, Love and Loss

Chapter 22

AXEL'S POV

I leaned in slowly, testing the waters. I hope she doesn't reject it. Close enough to where my lips are brushing against hers I close my eyes and go for it.

Her body tenses on impact. Shit, I shouldn't have done this.

Then her lips start to move in sync with mine and I couldn't be happier.

My hands pull her in closer to me as her hands make their way to my hair tangling her fingers in it.

Her lips were so soft and tasted like cherry. Why did I wait so long to do this?

I pull away not wanting my hormones to get the better of me.

"I like you Cassie. I like you a lot" I finally confess to her.

Her eyes wide in surprise. Oh God, I shouldn't have done this. She swings off of my lap and sits down next to me.

"I'm sorry. I-I I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that, I get it if you don't like me back -" I ran my hands through my hair.

"Don't be. I like you too. Honestly I've liked you since the day I moved in here and saw you across the driveway." She said looking at her feet.

"Really? Why didn't you ever say anything?" I asked

"Yeah sure, invisible little Cassie Montgomery is going to tell popular quarterback Axel Ramirez that she likes him." She chuckles "I never imagined you would feel the same so I just figured I wouldn't say anything."

"Well now that its out there in the open, what do you want us to do?" I asked. I kind of want to start dating but I don't know if its too fast for her.

"I don't know. I don't have much experience with this. I guess we should probably hang out more like a couple or something?" She suggests awkwardly.

"Yeah, I would like that." I said reaching for her hand. She looked up at me and caressed the back of my hand with her thumb.

"We should get to that lab report though. It's due tomorrow morning" she said changing the subject.

"Yea good idea babe." I agreed  "is it okay if I call you babe? I don't wanna move too fast."I ranted. She nodded and kissed me on the cheek.

"I don't know if its too early to say this but I don't think I ever piked anyone this Mich, not even Christina" I explained to the first person besides my teddy bear.

What will the guys say when I tell them this? Better yet what will everyone at school think when they find out? Damn Serena is going to have a blast with this. She's been trying to get me to confess my feelings for over a month now.

But who cares I really like this nerd. I've never cared this much for anyone.
