Love Confessions
The night was perfect, there wasn't a cloud in the sky, the stars were out and so was the moon full and round at it's best. Ash and Misty were walking down a country lane away from the hustle and bustle of the town of pallet.
"Why are you taking me down this lane Ash, as beautiful as it is, but why?" Misty was confused to why he had brought her here, she has known Ash for a few years now since they met when she pulled him out of the river with her fishing rod when they were only just ten years old.
"You'll see why soon, we need to keep on walking just a little further though." He told her as they walked.
"But what is so important that you need to tell me that we had to come this far, not that I'm complaining?" Misty was starting to get annoyed. They had been walking for at least half an hour now. "Are we far enough away from the town yet Ash?"
"Um, yes I think we are." Ash stammered out. "Now Misty what I'm going to tell you I want you to take me seriously ok."
"Ok Ash what is it, what do you want to tell me?" Misty was starting to get worried. "Come on Ash spit it out."
Ash started to smile slightly. "Oh don't worry, it's nothing come on lets go back." He was thinking to himself why had he brought her up here she wouldn't feel the same.
Grabbing Ashes arm, "No Ash you brought me up here and you look like whatever you wanted to tell me is important to you, please just tell me." She let go of his arm and he turned around to face her.
"Um, I don't know how to say this, but I um I think I love you." With a sigh he sat down on the side of the lane next to a fence wondering what was going through Misty's head right now. To his surprise she came and sat down next to him, blushing all the while.
"Ash I don't know how to say this but i'm very flattered that way about me. We are best friends after all aren't we?"
"Yes" Ash was starting to look worried.
"Yes and I can see why you feel like this, but I have to say that you completely surprised me I thought something bad had happened, but you see you'll have to give me some time to think about this." Somehow Misty didn't know what to do; her mind was just in a muddle she didn't know what to think.
"Oh ok, I guess you want to go back now then?" Ash was trying to hold back the tears that had welled up in his eyes.
"Look Ash I'm not saying yes or no to how I feel about you ok, I just said that I need some time to think because you sprang it on me so fast ok. Come on lets go back" She now was feeling guilty for making her best friend feel sad but it was the truth she didn't know what to feel at the moment.
They walked back to the town by now the party was starting to die down and people were leaving. Ash and misty said goodnight and went there separate ways until they meet again.
