This is the chapter you have all been waiting for...
"What?"
"Remember? Today in the car? You asked me what I was thinking of and I said the funeral…and you." Keely recalled.
"Then…what were you thinking of? If you weren't thinking about the funeral and me?" Phil asked.
"Well, I guess I didn't lie completely. I was thinking of the funeral. But I was thinking of you on a deeper scale then just thinking you looked cute in black." She said.
"So I'm not cute in black?" Phil said, trying to get her to crack a smile. It worked, but only just.
"No, you do. But, that's not what I was thinking about. I made that up when you asked me." She clarified.
"Then what were you thinking about?"
Keely looked down once more. Phil put his hands on her shoulders.
"Keely."
She looked up into his eyes staring back at her.
"What were you thinking about?"
She could detect a hint of worry in his voice. She couldn't blame him. After all that has happened, it would be hard to know what she would be thinking about. She took his hand off her shoulder and placed it on her face. Phil couldn't help but be a little surprised at this move. She put both her hands on his hand on her face and closed her eyes.
"I was thinking of the funeral. But not just the funeral. I was running all the events that had happened through my mind like a filmstrip. Watching them all go past." She opened her eyes to look at Phil.
"As I was watching all these incidents occur, there was no mistaking that you were always beside me. Helping me. Lending more then just a hand." She paused once more. Phil put his other hand on the side of her jaw.
"And…it didn't take long for me to realize that…that I didn't want to live another second of my life without you in it." She finished. Phil was silent.
"You're always there. You've always been there. I want you to be right next to me. I don't want to leave your side, I don't want to never be able to hear your voice."
She had to tell him how she really felt. Phil pulled her into a hug. She closed her eyes.
"Maybe you don't feel the same way but I had to let you know. It's like…you're cookies and I'm milk, you're salt and I'm pepper. I just feel like we go together because…"
"I love you." Phil said. He pulled out of the hug but only until their faces were about an inch apart. He put his hands on her neck. Keely spoke in barely a whisper.
"Exactly."
Phil leaned in and their lips met in one hell of a deep and meaningful kiss. One both of them had been longing to do. It was the most wonderful feeling. Keely was kissing the boy she has loved most dearly and Phil was returning the favor. All those birthday wishes have ultimately come true in the end. They finally pulled apart. Keely smiled, which reflected off of Phil's.
"Gee whiz." Was all she could say.
Phil gave a small laugh. Keely leaned in for another kiss. Phil moved his hands up to her cheeks. Both of them only focusing on their second yet equally wonderful kiss, Keely let her stomach muscles relax and laid her head back down on the pillow, still kissing the individual closest to her heart. They broke apart once again and once again the biggest smile appeared on her face. She suddenly lunged at Phil and embraced him the largest bear hug ever known to mankind.
"I love you Keely." Phil stroked her hair. Keely rested her chin on his shoulders, letting her cheek touch his neck.
"I love you Phillip Diffy."
