Actions Speak Louder Than Words
He sat there watching her as she sat curled up on the small sofa, her favorite book balanced on her lap with the help of her hands as her eyes greedily devoured the words in front of her, immersing her wholly into a different world.
He thought she looked beautiful then, her hair placed high on her head in a ponytail, a few loose strands framing her face. The way her eyes mimicked the emotion that the book's events evoked in her, showcasing her feminine vulnerability and strength to the world.
He loved the way she looked when she let her guard down, whenever she read one of the many books found in the library or the books she brought from home, always reading them eagerly, as though it were her first time reading the book, despite the frayed and yellowing edges that clearly stated otherwise.
He wasn't sure when he had stared watching her or even allowing himself to forget everything that his father had instilled in him. He also didn't know when he had fallen in love with her, if it was before or after he had started to lust for her.
He wanted her to be his, only and forever his. And he was going to change that now. He stood, knocking his books and schoolbag to the floor and walked slowly, deliberately and determinedly to where the object of his desire sat. He watched as she looked up from her book, noticing him standing before her before slowly placing her book down, folding her hands into her lap and focusing her eyes on him again, allowing a small and soft "yes?" escape her lips.
He didn't answer her, instead he continued staring at her, forcing himself not to run and do what he came to do. He leaned forward, noticing her how her eyes widened slightly at the breaching of her personal bubble and kissed her.
He reveled in the way her lips felt and how wonderful she tasted. Like strawberry ice cream, undeniably sweet. He especially loved, however, the way she responded to his kiss after her initial shock wore off.
He pulled away, watching his angel's face as her eyelids fluttered open to look at him, her honey-brown eyes shimmering with confusion. He brushed her hair back behind her ear, leaned his head down so that his lips rested lightly against hers and whispered, "I love you, my sweetheart, with all my heart and all my soul. I want you to be only and forever mine. Will you?"
She stared at him, their lips still touching and her eyes unreadable and instead of answering him, kissed him passionately, throwing her arms around his neck and pulling him closer to her.
