She Loves Me

She loves me.

She told me today while we were at the beach. Never in a million years did I think she would ever fall in love with a guy like me. My father is the town deadbeat and everyone is convinced that I will follow in his footsteps and break her heart, but she doesn't see me like that. And I can't let her down.

I will always remember that moment when those sweet words left her lips. We were lying on a blanket on the soft sand, pointing at images in the clouds. She said she saw rabbits, while I kept seeing wolves. That's when she said it.

"I love you, Sam." She giggled and then proceeded to tell me that the cloud to the right looked like a carrot and one of the bigger rabbits was chasing it.

"What?" I leaned up, pulling her attention away from the sky. "What did you say?"

She smiled at me lovingly, her arm rested behind her head. "I said, I love you." Her brown eyes held the truth. "I'm not expecting you to say it in return, but I do, Sam. I love you."

She was fearless and passionate and that was one of the many things that attracted me to her in the first place. She stared back at the sky like she hadn't just confessed her love for me.

"Okay, I think I see the one you think looks like a wolf." She tilted her head to the side and a cute little crinkle formed between her brows. "I kinda see the snout and the paws."

"I love you too, Lee-Lee," I said. "I think I have since I first saw you walking the halls during your freshman year. I love you. I love you so much!"

Everyone in town would always say that I didn't deserve someone like Leah Clearwater. She was smart, beautiful, and full of promise, but somewhere down the line, she chose me. She didn't care what everyone said; she always stuck by me.

She yelped when I pulled her up and flung her over my shoulder. I spun her around until she got dizzy and threatened to barf. We tumbled to the ground to catch our breath, then I kissed her with everything I had.

I don't think I've ever been so happy in my life.

She loves me.

A/N: I'd love to hear your thoughts!
