CHAPTER 9: DECLARETION OF LOVE.
Everyone had the night off that day. They celebrated with a huge, delicious dinner and watched a movie and talked about anything that passed their mind, having fun. It was like their summer was just like other teenagers for once in a while, even if it wasn't, of course. It was fun to escape duties sometimes!
But after the movie, April walked out on the beautiful green grass filed outside the castle and sat down, with her head spinning messy with thoughts. She needed some fresh air and time to think. Maybe it was this way Julie felt when she was with Leo, maybe she felt happy and in peace with him. Maybe, and she thought MAYBE, someone felt just this way when he or she was in love.
Oh! She was so insecure about how she really felt! After all, Donnie was just a friend, or more than that? She was so tired...
"Hi! How are you doing?" She turned around. It was Donnie, that smiled and sat by her side.
"I'm good, I'm just a little bit tired..." She yawn and rested her head on his shoulder. He blushed heavily, feeling his heart pounding faster and harder in the chest.
"Thanks for saving me...! She whispered softly. Donnie said happy and nervously:
"Hehe...you're welcome..." He kissed her forehead, and she laid her head against his chest now and he took her in his arms, holding her softly close to her, feeling his delicate breath. She would have stayed like this forever. April closed her eyes and fell deeply asleep.
Donnie noticed it and blushed even more. He went up always holding he close to him, taking her inside. When he came in, everyone looked at him with big, surprised and curious eyes and smirking faces.
"Ehm...I'm taking her to her room!" He said fast, walking to the corridor until he came to April's room. He came in and laid her under the white big blanket of the bed. She was sleeping softly and peacefully, like an angel. There wasn't any word that could describe how beautiful she was. One day, he would have told to her what he felt for her, when he would have courage enough.
Then, he got an idea, maybe not the brightest of all, but anyway...he closed the door and sat on close to April. He tossed and started talking, a bit shaky at first.
"Ehm...hi April, I don't know if you hear me, but I hope you get this words somehow..." He took all the courage he had in his heart and said sincerely and serious:"April, for me you're special. You're sweet, strong and beautiful. You have always a smile on your lips. You always put your body and soul in everything you do and you never give up. April I..." He tossed again.
"I have loved you since the very first time I saw you." He took a deep breath and continued:
"I know this sounds totally crazy, but since I've met you, I never stop thinking about you, your smile, your good mood...they have made my life happier. With you I feel complete, I feel that I can be myself without being scared of you judging me. You have always accepted me as I was. I know that you maybe don't feel the same, but it doesn't matter, because I'll always be by your side. I'll always have my arms open, ready to catch you when you'll fall." He kissed her forehead. It was getting very late, it was better for him to go now. When he stood up and took a step towards the door, April took suddenly his hand, still sleeping, and whispered worried:
"Please, don't go!" Donnie's heart stopped. April let go of his hand. Did she hear everything? He went towards the door and opened it. He took a last glance at her and said with a love full smile:
"I love you so much April, very much." He slowly closed the door. He really hoped that she had heard, in some way.
