Chapter3

He loves me? He said he loves me. No boy has ever said that too me.

I pictured this moment a lot differently. I pictured I would be older, after college. Twenty something with long, brown hair and a tall, thin body every one would love. I would be irresistable. I imagined I'd be on the roof of a tall building with the love of my life. He would kiss me, tell me he loved me, I would say it back, and he'd ask me to marry him.

He would get down on one knee in his fancy tuxedo and open the black satin box. Inside would be a ring, a large diamond placed in the right place.

I would gush to my friends about how it looked. They would be happy yet jealous about the news. I wouldn't care, knowing me. It would be the happiest day of my life.

Mom would be so excited. She would help plan it all, letting me wear her dress. She would be proud of me.

I didn't know how to feel about the 'I love you' moment. It was so sudden. I wasn't expecting it at all.

Would he be happy if I told him or have a different reaction? If I didn't respond, would he be hurt? He wouldn't want to talk to me if I didn't say what he wanted me to.

"Kylie, i-if I said anything…" He said, sitting up.

"No, no it's ok. I just-I wasn't expecting you to say…"

"I understand. Ky, if you don't feel that way-I get it. I'm willing to wait."

I sat up and hugged him. "I'm sorry."

He pulled me back a little and looked at me. "It's ok."

"I feel like I'm letting you down."

"Don't get worked up over it." He said softly. "Forget about it for today. Let's just have fun."

After getting soaked from falling into the water, we decided to head home.

It was around seven when we got to my apartment and I was still sleeping.

Kyle picked me up and carried me up to the door, knocking lightly. Mom answered the door and, at first, she was a little scared but she covered it with a smile.

"Good to see you, Kyle. Is she asleep?"

"Good to see you too. Um, yeah. She fell asleep on the ride back."

"Just set her on the couch if you will."

He nodded and carried me over to the couch. He laid me down gently, covered me up, and kissed me lightly on my forehead.

I mumbled a little in my sleep then rolled to my other side, away from Kyle's face.

He talked to mom a little before leaving, saying he'd see me tomorrow.


Sorry this is short. I've been trying to get more ideas for continuing from where I am, writing the next chapters. Any ideas?

Review!
