I was in the car. We were on our way to the dentist when I suddenly thought of this story. I hope you guys like it.

*(asterisk)- this means its a thought

"(quote)- dialogue

Nate:

Nate positioned himself on the bed propped up on his elbows soon after he woke up. He watched Sophie sleep.

He's always been curious as to what Sophie's dreaming of, cause her lips are twisted into a smile overtime she sleeps.

The only thing he could hope for is that it's him. It may sound so selfish but he couldn't avoid the thought and the desire to be her dream.

As he stared at hear leaning in close he murmured… " I just wish I could tell you what you mean to me.

I wish that I had the courage to admit to you how I really feel cause I'm afraid to lose you. I wish that I could tell you that I love you while looking into your eyes.

But right now I don't have the courage. I can only sit here and mutter to myself how much I love you while you lay there. Beautiful as always…"

He leaned in closer to her ear but checked if there's any sign of her faltering from her sleep. He closed his eyes and whispered into her ear.

"I love you.."

He then kissed her cheek and got up.

Sophie:

*I can feel him watching me. I love that by the way, I discovered it only a few days ago that when he got up before me he'd sit there and watch me,

just sit there and smile to himself. Once he closed his eyes for a bit I'd take a glimpse of him. Looking at his expression.

He kept smiling, and it wasn't his usual 'we got thru another con' smile. It wasn't a victory smile. No.

It was that genuinely happy smile when you see a groom look at his bride while she graced the isle….

Right now he's murmuring to himself while he leaned into me. I can feel the heat of his body next to mine.

He thinks I couldn't hear it. The things he was saying. Hmm.. I could hear everything and right there and then I wanted to cry.

I wanted to cry right there and then, over the things he'd just said. Such sweet words..If only he knew.

If only he knew that he shouldn't be afraid to tell me cause he's scared that he might push me away.

I wish…

"I love you." He whispered into my ear and carefully kissed my cheek.*

Her thoughts stopped dead on their tracks.

"I love you too." She whispered as the door closed behind Nate.

She smiled to herself while tears fell from her eyes.
