Chapter 7
4 months later…
(Amara's POV)
I looked at his face while he slept, admiring him. In that moment I knew that I had fallen for him. Completely and hopelessly in love with him. It's scary admitting that, even to myself. His strong arms were wrapped around me, making me feel safe and secure.
I continued looking at him, and thought about when we first started seeing each other. I got used to being around him so quickly. Those few months, I wondered about myself. I stopped arguing with him quickly. I wondered why I felt so at ease with him. Even though I obviously wanted to be nicer to him, I had no idea it would be so easy, or happen so quickly. Old habits die hard, or so they say. Obviously not in my case.
It must have been that first kiss that changed my opinions of him. Must have been. I knew before that kiss that I liked him, and was physically attracted to him, but then again, what woman isn't attracted to him… It was that kiss that made me realise I could hide it no longer.
The first few times that we went out together were difficult. We were followed by the girls, and teased by them. They wanted to know exactly what was going on with us, even though they knew that we were an official couple. Eventually though, the girls got bored with following us, thankfully.
But where the girls left off, the Press took over. It was rather annoying having our love life broadcast through the news, but it appears to have died down somewhat as of late. We both got rather stressed about that, and had a few fights, almost causing us to break up, until we both realised that we were being stupid, and decided to ignore what the Press were saying about us.
Shortly after we got together, I got to know the real Seiya. His arrogant exterior was only an act for the fan girls. I also found out that he was worried about his appearance! I didn't foresee that one! He was also worried about what I thought of him, always trying to think of the right thing to say, which I told him to stop worrying about, and just tell me what he thought. I found that he was sweet, loving and tender, as well as physically attractive. Looking at him before, I never would have guessed that he was the same person as he is now. He's changed a lot since we've been together, and for the better apparently, according to him and others. I suppose I've changed too, but not as much as he has.
Last night assured me of just how much I love him. But I'm still scared. Scared of how quickly I fell for him, and without even realising it. But, I'm happy with him, happier than I've been with anyone else before, and much happier than being alone.
I look at him once more as he awakes, and he looks at me with those deep blue eyes, and smiles. I realise again how attractive he is, with his short hair all tousled, and his body wrapped only in the thin sheets. I smile back at him.
"Morning…" he says to me, still smiling, his voice nothing but a husky whisper, making me melt, as he pulls me closer.
"Morning," I reply, smiling back as he holds me. I lay my head on his chest, listening to the sound of his heart beating, as he draws little circles on my side with his index finger, making me giggle softly. He discovered before that he can make me giggle, something I haven't done in years, since I was a child.
"That tickles!" I laughed.
"You love it really." He told me, smirking. I heard his voice and vibrations through his chest.
He leaned down and kissed my forehead gently, and sighed contentedly. I sighed too, and smiled.
"I love you." The words were out before I even realised I had said them.
"I love you too." He replied, and I blushed. He winked at me and grinned.
"I didn't think that I was ready to say that yet, but since I blurted it out, I suppose I'd better say it properly," I paused and looked up into his deep blue eyes. "I love you, Seiya." I smiled, and he smiled back at me, and all of a sudden, I felt truly happy, almost ecstatically happy.
"And I you." He said before kissing me softly.

I awoke to find her looking at me, and I smiled at her, wondering what she was thinking. She looked happy though, so I assumed she had no regrets.
"Morning…" I said to her quietly, almost whispering, and pulled her closer to me, revelling in the feeling of her body against mine.
"Morning." She replied, and smiled at me. She looks so gorgeous when she's just woken up. She laid her head on my chest, her hair tickling my neck, and I started to draw little circles on her side with my finger. She giggled softly, a sound that I didn't think she could make before we got together. She's full of surprises.
"That tickles!" she told me, and I smirked.
"You love it really!" I told her, before leaning down to kiss her forehead gently, sighing softly as I did so. She smiled, and sighed too. It felt so right to have her there in my arms.
"I love you" she said suddenly.
"I love you too." I told her, winking and grinning at her. I saw she was blushing, another thing that surprised me about her.
"I didn't think that I was ready to say that yet, but since I blurted it out, I suppose I'd better say it properly," she paused and looked up into my eyes. "I love you, Seiya." she smiled, and I smiled back at her.
"And I you." I said before kissing her softly.
