Timmy's POV:
I exhaled shakily.
"I missed you too," I murmured, then leaned in, slowly, for one last kiss before I pulled back, keeping my arm around her waist. Somehow, that simple contact sent tingles through my arm around the rest of my body.
"Wanna pack up?" She grinned at me, and nodded, and we walked over to the dugout. She made a beeline for a blue-and-gold bag on wheels, with her name embroidered on the top flap. I stood above her, simply waiting as she packed up her gear. I noticed a couple of her teammates staring, and smiled awkwardly. I turned my head down again, staring at the ground in front of me, before I realized that Sammy had stood up.
"Geez, stop staring, guys," she laughed. "This is my boyfriend, Timmy." I smiled, waving at her friends, who at least smiled back.
"Ready?" she asked with a smile. I nodded, and wrapped my arm around her waist again, and she leant her head on my shoulder. It felt like the entire side of my body that was touching her was buzzing with a comfortable warmth.
We walked in silence to my car, and I opened the passenger door for her first, gesturing with a smile. Laughing, she slid in, and I shut the door after her before walking over to my own side, and getting in. I turned as I buckled my seatbelt, and laughed as I noticed her scrolling through the music on my iPhone with a raised eyebrow.
"Here's the cable, if you want to listen," I suggested, holding it out to her, before driving off. Sure enough, music soon began flowing out of the speakers.
"You have varied taste," she commented idlely, and I nodded.
"Yeah, I guess I do," I admitted. She smiled, and I grinned as I recognized the song drifting from the speakers. Frank Sinatra.
"Sing for me?" I turned, to see her with a faint smile on her face, and the most tender look on her face I'd ever seen, short of the kiss we'd shared minutes ago.
"Of course, love." The word slipped out of my mouth before I could catch it, and I winced. Strike one. I turned the volume up and started singing along to the words I knew by heart to cover my mistake. After all, three strikes and you're out.
"In other words, hold my hand," Playing along with the music, I reached out my right hand to her, and she grasped it in hers.
"In other words, baby, kiss me," We had convientently stopped at a red light, and so I turned to her, grinning. She smiled, and leaned over, kissing my cheek.
"Fill my heart with song, let me sing forevermore, you are all I long for, all I wish and adore..." I continued to sing the lyrics as we made our way through Berkeley.
"In other words..." I looked anxiously at Sammy. "I, love, you." I stopped, staring anxiously at her face, as she stared at me, aghast. Her eyes began to well up, slowly, and unable to look at her face, I raised our joined hands to my lips, kissing each knuckle of her hand carefully.
"I love you, Sammy," I whispered in between kisses. I looked up, to see the tears rolling slowly down her face. Terrified, I gently took her face between my hands, and kissed away her tears.
"I'm sorry, Sam. I - I - I know it's too early, that we've just had our first kiss, but I - I just - " Sammy cut me off by pressing her lips to mine, fiercely. I groaned softly. After a minute, she pulled back, eyes still shining with unshed tears.
"I love you too, Timmy," she breathed. Overjoyed, I couldn't help myself. I unbuckled my seat belt and leaned way over the divider, kissing her fully and properly. I barely even noticed all the cars honking around us, as the light had changed back to green and I still hadn't moved. Cars began to pull around us, as we continued to kiss. Her fingers were brushing themselves through my hair again, and I gasped. Ever since I grew my hair out, or more specifically, since I'd met Sammy, I'd learned that I loved it when she tangled her fingers in my hair. Or when she brushed her fingertips over my hair lightly. Or when they were brushing down my sides, as they were now...
We pulled apart, both of us gasping.
"I love you, Sammy," I murmured.
And with that, she whispered the words I'd been waiting for for my entire life. "I love you too."
Aww. They're too cute. :D Song: Fly Me To The Moon, by Sinatra. Reviews always appreciated. (:
