chapter thirty seven

"i love you too"

i inhaled sharply at the words that softly ran off of george's lips. a smile creeped onto my face as my cheeks began to glow a deep red.

"what was that?" i asked placing my hand on my ear, "i didn't quite hear you." he stepped in closer to me, swiftly moving his hands to cup my waist.

"i said, i. love. you." he moved his face closer to mine with every word he said, the words soft yet powerful as they rang through my ears. i smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck, closing the gap between our faces. his lips, smooth and quick moved against mine in synchronization as warmth grew in my body. i pulled away, cupping his face with my right hand and smiling as our foreheads touched. the sparks that i remembered so vividly from our first meeting flied through the white walls of my room. i gently rubbed my thumb over george's cheekbone as his eyes fluttered. i giggled and ran my hand through his hair. he looked up to meet my eyes and cocked his head slightly to the side, "so," he said, "what do you have to say?" he asked moving his face from mine, "i slightly remember the end of a specific facetime call?" i shook my head and pushed my tongue to my cheek.

"i love you george." i said. he wrapped his arms around me, lifting my feet off the ground and spinning me around. i laughed as we twirled over my carpet. he slowly lowered me back to solid ground and we stood together for a few moments, our bodies as close as they could be as we embraced. my eyes began to sting as i thought of the boy standing in front of me. he loves me i thought as i blinked a tear out of my eye and smiled, he tilted my head up and cocked his head to the side.

"hey are you okay?" he asked crouching down slightly to be eye level with me, "why are you crying?" i wiped away my tear and laughed.

"because, i love you so much george. and i haven't said that in a long time." i replied, meeting his gaze. his cheeks flamed pink as his eyes lit up.

"god i love you so much y/n." he said as he crashed his lips into mine, making me fall back slightly onto the bed as it happened. he crawled over me as i moved myself backwards so that my entire body was now lying on my white sheets. george brought one hand to my hair and pushed it behind my ear. suddenly, my door flew open as clay walked in. george and i quickly broke apart as clay's eyes widened.

"uh i-" he coughed and frantically began to close the door, "i- i'll come back later!" he slammed the door shut behind him as my face turned a deep red and i shoved my hands over my eyes. george rocketed up and ran after him, yelling.

"CLAY! IT WASN'T LIKE THAT! CLAY!" i jumped up out of my bed to follow george and clay, laughing as my socks slid on the hardwood floors. i turned into the kitchen to see the two boys standing in front of the fridge facing each other, clay was wheezing and george looked incredible flustered at the sound. i stifled my laugh with a cough as i clears my throat. they both turned to look at me.

"well, are you going to explain to us or am i just going to have to watch you two stare each other down like a weird western movie all day." i asked making my way over to the couch and flopping down. they followed me and sat down next to me as val walked into the kitchen holding her phone. she told us to tell her what we wanted from the local mexican restaurant down the street and she would door dash it for us. we ordered the food and stayed on the couch while we waited for it to come.

"so," clay said, "i bet you are a liiiitle confused as to why we are here." he continued looking to val and i. we both nodded our heads yes as he began to speak again. "basically, george and i had the plan to meet up again for a long time before any of this happened," clay started, looking at george, "originally i was supposed to go visit him in england and spend about a week or two there."
