As she walked towards him, she hesitated for a bit not knowing what to expect. It was like a rush of feelings just came over her all at once and from that moment, she didn't know what to do with herself. She couldn't respond to what was going on. How on earth did he end up falling for her out of all people?
"I'm scared..." she whispered.
"Don't be." he said.
She began sighing heavily and began to form her words to him in the cold wintry air. "But you don't understand. I am this complete fucking mess. My family's a mess and I don't know how to fix it. I'm boring, uninteresting and haven't done anything out of my routine life for so long. I'm so used to what I know but this... it's so unexpected and so unplanned. I don't think I'm ready. I have so many flaws and insecurities that I don't think you can handle them. It's not because I don't think you're the right person, I just don't want to hurt you because of who I am as a person."
He smiled, but not just any type of smile, but the cute smirk he would give if he knew that she was being ridiculous.
"You're ridiculously overdramatic. You do realise that?" He replied.
"Yeah, I know. But I'm only doing this for your own benefit." She explained.
He walked towards her and gazed into her lovely almond eyes and spoke with such raw passion and intensity. He knew that his gaze made her knees weak and she would pretty much drop everything for that look of his any day.
"Do you love me?" He asked.
She looked at him like she didn't know what he was talking about and stalled for a bit.
"Uhhhh... I guess so.." She said.
"Look, you either love me or you don't. Just answer the damn question." He said with a stern look.
She looked at him with shock and disappointment. It was clear that she was upset by what he just said. "Oh okay. Why is it that you demand so much for me to let you know how I feel? If I let you know how I feel, it changes everything. I hate change. Bad change to be specific. But if you really want to know, yes, I think it's obvious I love you. I fucking love you okay. But I don't think I'm ready for this whole relationship thing. I'm not good at it and I think you're better off with someone else."
"I don't care if you think you're not perfect. I want you and only you. You make me happy when I need cheering up the most and I didn't find that in a person until the day I met you. Please don't think I will leave you just because your family is into pieces or if you think you've been hurt to the point where you can't trust anyone again. It's okay to feel those things. It's normal. If you're scared, I'm scared. Either way, we'll figure this out. I'll help you." He said.
She smiled and embraced him and held his hand.
"So come on and hold my hand, I'll take you everywhere. Anywhere. You wanna go?"
