Chapter 7 What We feel

Alvin's POV

I just stared at Brittany, as she stared back. Her soft blue eyes making me feel a little calmer, but it was minuscule compared with how nervous I was. "W-What did you want to talk about?" I asked, my head starting to drip with sweat. "You were going to say something to me in the store, what was it?" she said, her voice sounding quiet and anxious.

"I told you" I replied, my hands starting to shake as I quickly hid them in my pockets. "There was too much clothing. You really need to learn how to grab less." Brittany just shook her head, looking like she wasn't buying anything. "You can't lie to me Alvin. I have known you to long. I know when you are lying. Tell me what you were going to say." I looked down to the ground, avoiding any further eye contact.

It felt like her eyes were piercing into my soul, trying to find the answers. "It is not worth discussing Britt. It was just some sort of stupid thing going on in my head."

"You said you wanted to say something special to someone else. But you thought this person didn't really share this back. Who were you talking about?" I say nothing, just remaining completely silent, unable to get the words through my mouth.

Unable to say anything, I push myself off the wall, and start walking down the mall, but Brittany remained by my side, her eyes still locked on me. "Alvin, you can tell me anything. If this is something that is really troubling you, I want to help. The same way you were always there for me. Please tell me."

I couldn't bring myself to tell her, no matter how hard I wanted to. I was scared that I might lose a friend if I told her. I didn't want that, still being her friend was better than confessing my feelings, and lose that friendship.

"No Brittany, I can't. I just can't."

She then grabbed my hand, forcing me to turn around and face her. I could feel my heart melt, she just looked so beautiful to me, but I couldn't tell her.

"All right" she said softly, "if you can't tell me, then I will tell you something that is hard for me to say." Still holding my hand, she guided me over to a nearby bench, both of us sitting down, facing each other.

She took an unsteady breath, then looked back into my eyes, her face turning bright red. "Lately, I have been having this one person on my mind. At first, it was only my thoughts, but soon, this person started to show up in my dreams."

I could feel as if my whole body whole body was submerged in freezing water, the painful stinging covering every inch of my skin. Was she telling me she was dreaming about another man? I felt disappointed, it just confirmed that she didn't have any feelings for me. "I realized that these dreams meant something. They told me that I had been feeling something that I never really wanted to face. I am in love with someone and I have been for a while. Because I think this person is caring, sweet . . . "

I couldn't take it anymore, knowing that she was in love with someone else tore me apart, so before she could say the next word, I instantly leap forward, my lips meeting hers while she was in mid sentence. I could see a surprised look in her eyes that quickly disappeared as I see them slowly close, and her arms reaching around the back of my neck.

I was doing it. I was kissing Brittany Miller. I could feel my whole body relax, and my breathing slow down, as I continued to enjoy the kiss.

Brittany's POV

Alvin suddenly jumped toward me, taking me by surprise. Just as I was about to react, his lips suddenly met mine, sending a quick jolt through my body, which quickly turned into a soothing feeling. My whole body suddenly felt weak, as I wrap my arms around the back of his neck for support.

My gosh, the feeling was incredible, I never felt anything like that ever before. I could feel goose bumps form all over my body, which quickly disappeared as I felt my whole body begin to heat up. I could feel small waves of pleasure hit me, starting from the lips and travelling to the rest of my body.

Alvin's hand then reached to my back, and began to stroke up and down, adding to the sensation. I just couldn't believe this was happening. He was kissing me. It was even better then what I thought it was going to be like.

At that point, I didn't care about the people walking past us, giving us odd looks, I was lost in my own word.

Alvin then pulled away, but just as he did, I reached for the back of his head, and gave one more kiss. I had no idea how long we were like that, and I didn't care, I was in heaven. Alvin finally pulled away, as he looked back at me, his eyes wide in shock. "It-It was me you were talking about?" he asked.

A giggle escapes my throat as I grab his hand, and held it tight. "Who else would I be talking about?" I said, giving him a huge smile. Alvin just remained looking shocked and amazed. "I just thought that you didn't really feel that way about me. Especially with all the pranks I pulled on you. And when you were talking about someone being in your dreams, I thought you were talking about someone else."

"No, it was you the whole time" I laugh. A smile then formed in the corner of his mouth, as I felt him squeeze his hand back. "Well, I might as well tell you what I wanted to say in the clothing's store then. I have been dreaming about you for a while as well. And I came to the same conclusion you did. I love you Brittany. I think you are the greatest girl in the world."

I could feel my cheeks blush from he said. I felt like a million bucks from what he told me. "I love you too, Alvin." As soon as I said that, his arms extended as he pulled me into a hug. A warm soothing feeling spread through my body as I hugged him back.

I felt the exact same way I did in my dream. His arms wrapping around me felt so good. His tight embrace feeling so right and so calming. I never wanted it to end. Alvin then moved his mouth, so that it was right next to my ear as he gently whispered. "I will never do anything to hurt you Brittany. Never again. I don't ever want to lose you."

I remained silent at first, this was the first time I had ever seen Alvin become so serious, in a way, it made me nervous, but it also filled me with security. The way he was behaving made me realize that he wasn't going to treat our relationship like he does everything else.

He was going to take it seriously. It filled me with reassurance as I slowly pulled away, and looked into his eyes, smiling. I felt so happy at this point. I could feel tears starting to run down my face.

"I hope those are tears of joy" he chuckled as he wiped them away with his thumb. "Tears of joy" I smile back. I then leaned back on the bench, as he extended his hand, and began to gently play with my hair, making me feel so relaxed, I almost fell asleep.

"Is there any other place you want to go?" he said quietly, seeing that I was really relaxed.

"Do you want to grab something to eat?" I reply, smiling as I turn my head to stare at him. He briefly looked down at his watch, checking the time. "Maybe something small" he said, "we don't want to ruin supper." I gave a nod in agreement as we both stood up, hand in hand as we both walked down to the food court.

We weaved around the crowds of people, until we finally reached the court. "Why don't you grab a seat Britt. I'll go and grab the food." "Don't take too long" I smile back as I look for a seat.

I soon found the perfect spot, far from all the people, in a nice quiet corner. I pull out the chairs and sit down, waiting for Alvin to come with the food.

My mind almost still couldn't believe how this day was turning out. When I woke up this morning, I thought that I would be a nervous wreck the whole day. And I was, but after me and Alvin told each other how we felt, I felt like a new person.

I also felt like I found a missing part of me. Something that I have been searching for a long time. I couldn't be happier then I was right now. After a few minutes of waiting, Alvin came up with the tray of food, and set it down on the table.

In the tray were just simple burgers and fries. Alvin quickly divided the food between us, and grabbed some ketchup packs, and began to spread it on his fries. As I reach for some packs as well, I decided to have a little fun.

I made a small tear on the end of the pack, and placed it in my left palm, the tear facing toward Alvin. He didn't even notice what I was doing. His face was still looking down at his food.

I then quickly slam my right fist into my palm, causing the ketchup to squirt out, and spray a surprised Alvin right in the face. He stared at me wide eyes as he wiped the ketchup away. "Brittany, I thought that we-" "Just because we are now a "thing," doesn't mean we can't have a little fun" I said, giving an innocent giggle.

Alvin just stared at me for a moment, then gave a sigh as he wiped the last bits off his face. "One more thing I will have to get you back for" he said, giving me a sly smile. "Oh, I am so scared" I said jokingly.

"One day" he said as he began to eat his food. "One day I will get you." I just rolled my eyes and shook my head, thinking these were just empty threats.

After we finished eating, I quickly went back to the clothing store to grab the shirt and shorts I had tried on earlier. We then continued exploring the mall for a while, trying to see if we would find any of our siblings.

It didn't take us long. We quickly saw Jeanette and Simon pulling a shopping cart filled with books, with Theodore and Eleanor following behind with boxes of food and recipes. They didn't even see us until we were right next to them.

"Is there even a book store left?" Alvin said as he peered into Simon and Jeanette's cart, which was filled with educational novels as usual. "Your just jealous because we spend our money on something useful" Simon replied, looking at Alvin sternly.

"How about you guys?" Jeanette asked as she pushed up her glasses. "Did you get everything you wanted." Me and Alvin gave each other a smile. We had decided not to tell our siblings yet, we wanted to wait until the time was right. "Yeah" I replied, "We found what we wanted".

"All right then" Eleanor cut in. "I don't know about you, but I think we should leave now if we want to get to the restaurant in time."

That was a cute chapter. I didn't think I would update so soon, so don't expect updates this quickly LOL. And don't worry, this isn't the end of the story, it is only just starting.
