Chapter 2
Revealed
I knew he felt me struggle under him because he leaned his lips down to my ear. "Sophie…I wanted to tell you. I wanted to tell you so badly. I just didn't want to hurt you." I finally managed to get him off of me and I jumped back again. "You didn't mean to hurt me? Puh-lease! I can handle myself! I don't need YOUR help." I saw anger flick through him. "Oh yeah, you didn't need my help the first day of school either right? That kid could have killed you for all you cared! If I hadn't protected you you probably would have been in the infirmary." He was stalking towards me after he let that out.
"Maybe you should have let him! It would have saved you all trouble of getting to know me! Then I wouldn't have…wouldn't have…" I was stuttering and he caught on. Again, I didn't even notice that he was closing in. At this point I really didn't even care. When he grabbed my arm and looked at me, all anger vanished from his eyes. "You wouldn't have what?" I couldn't help the pool of tears that flowed out from my eyes. Damned tears. His eyes were burning into me with a passion that was unknown. Well, you know what they say; the eyes are the very windows to the soul. And right now, he was an unwelcomed soul reader. "I would've saved you anyway. I didn't want such a beautiful girl to die in my very presence," he said trying to pry the answer from me.
"Sophie…answer me please...I don't think I can handle that wait anymore," he pleaded. More tears poured down my face as I stuttered on my words. "T-Then…I-I…w-wouldn't h-have…f-fallen…i-in l...l…l…love w-with….you…." It all came out in a whisper. Before I knew it, his hot lips were on mine. Kissing me and holding me. It was a rush I gladly welcomed. I felt him push me down on something. When I pulled away to look at what it was I almost gasped. "What in the world…?" I looked down at the fluffy bed under me. Well no wonder that wasn't a hard fall.
I had to giggle at Archers attempt to be...uh…Romantic. He moved himself into a more comfortable position next to me. I turned my face to look at him and he stretched out his hand to wipe away the left over tears that stained my face. I started to feel the heat emanating from my cheeks. I was actually blushing. I have never done that before. Not even to guys I've had extreme crushes on.
I've always had a thing about blushing in front of other people. Like it shows weakness to those who want to use you. But, with Archer it was difference. He showed no sign of wanting to use me. I probably look vulnerable to him. Wait, who am I kidding? Of course I looked vulnerable to him! Here I am, lying on this bed, with him next to me, wiping my leftover tears. How vulnerable can I get?
I let out a sigh because this vulnerability made me uncomfortable. "Sophie?" His incredibly amazing voice let out what seemed to be a song but was actually my name. I hadn't realized that I was no longer looking at him but I was staring at the sky. "Oh, uh...sorry. You had something to say?" I blinked a couple of times to show him that i was giving him my undivided attention. It seemed to work because he let a sigh of his own. "Sophie...I...well...I kind of...uh…" He was stuttering. Now why would the cockiest guy on earth stutter? I raised an eyebrow at him and let a grin make its way across my face.
"Archer…Don't tell me that you're actually nervous?" He must've sensed the sarcasm in my voice because then he also lifted an eyebrow and sort of frowned. "Sophie, don't be ridiculous. Me? Nervous? Right." Cocky. I swear he is cocky. I gave him a blank face but I couldn't hold it for too long and I started laughing. He gave me a confused look and huffed. "Sophie, it's really hard to tell you that I love you too when you're laughing in my face." I stopped and looked at him with an emotionless face.
"You…love me…?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Archer loved me. Archer loved ME. I started to breath hard. It was like the air around us was thickening. I was starting to cry again because that's when he pulled me close and held me like that.
"Archer…You actually love me?" He nodded and I sobbed. I am so happy. But, I wasn't so sure if I could trust him one-hundred percent.
ALRIGHT! HERE IT IS! THE NEXT CHAPTER. I PROMISE THAT I WILL WORK HARD TO GET THE NEXT ONE IN SOON! :D
Xoxo, Heaven 3 :3
