10 Drabbles Between Me and You
You Outshine The Stars Themselves
"One more question?" I asked, under the stars. We were the last 2 awake on our team.
"Yeah?" Trent asked, sleepily.
"Well, you could have your choice of the stars. And yet, you choose the smallest and dimmest, when you could have the biggest and brightest." I whisper.
"What?" He asked, his eyes widening, as if I just threatened to kill him.
I didn't answer, just waited. Not looking at him, just the stars passing by.
The seconds passed by… then minutes. He finally answered. "Because to me, you are the biggest and brightest."
I stared at him, disbelief written all over my face. "Right…" I murmured, standing up.
"Right?" Trent kept looking at me. He grabbed my wrist so hard, so I couldn't leave like I planned to. "What do you mean? You don't believe me, do you?"
I stared at the sky.
"You think I'm lying." He shook his head. "Why would I lie to you, though?"
"Many reasons. Dare. Money. Trying to make a girlfriend at home jealous." I explained.
He frowned. "No, no, and no. Is it that hard to believe that I like you?"
"Yes." I said simply. He frowned even deeper. "Maybe…" I hesitated.
"I can't force you to believe… But, that stars… well. I lied, you're not the biggest and brightest."
I had tears on the edge. "I know…"
"Because you outshine them." Trent said.
The tears came down anyway, when I blinked. Trent stared in shock. "Are you okay?" He asked, worried now.
"No, I don't know if I can believe you…"
"How about, I show you?"
"How?"
"You'll see."
"I have to wait?"
"You wanna see, don't you?"
"Yes."
"Then, be patient."
"Fine." I sighed. He got up, and kissed my forehead.
Oh well… I'll have to wait.
