Chapter 5 (Biana's POV)
A/N: If you have a suggestion on who's POV for me to do next, please tell me. Also, review and tell me if you like it!
Keefe is questioning what everyone got at the Receiving. I answer, then look down to see what time it is on my new watch. It says 12:00 AM. That's definitely not the right time.
"My watch says the wrong time!" I exclaim. "I can fix it!" Dex replies, almost eagerly. "Thanks!" I say, handing my watch to Dex. Well he's fixing it, I glance at his pair of heels. I look at him. The watch could represent him. The heels could 100% represent me. "Hey Dex," I start. "Can I talk to you…alone." "Sure…" Dex says, raising an eyebrow.
I lead him around to the back of the building. "So," Dex begins. "What do you want to talk to me about?" I take a deep breath, feeling his eyes on me. "Well… you're good with gadgets, right?" "Yeah." He mumbles. "And I love heels, right?" I say. "Yeah…" He says again. "I think that our things represent one another." I whisper, probably so quiet that he can't hear me. But he does. I watch him take a deep breath, then say, "Yeah. That makes sense."
"Yeah…" I trail off, not sure what to say. He says it for me. "We should test it out." He mumbles, so quiet I can barely hear him. "Yeah." I say again. I think we're saying yeah to much, but I'm not sure what else to say. Then, I hear Dex say something. "I love you, Biana. I've loved you ever since I first met you. But I was scared to ask if you wanted to be Hopefuls because…yeah." "I love you too Dex." I whisper. "So let's test it out."
"Yeah." He mumbles again. I kiss him, cutting off the last part of the word. He seems surprised at first but then he leans into the kiss.
And then everything is perfect. His lips seem to fit perfectly into mine. Our breathing syncs into a rhythm that I just can't stop listening to. He wraps his arms around my head and pulls me closer. And then, I hear his thoughts fill my head. He's thinking about how beautiful I look and how amazing this is. I love him even more for it.
It feels like we could stand here forever. I could do this forever. But, every good thing has to end. He's the one to finally pull away. I laugh, wrapping my arms around him and hugging him so tight he says in my head, I need to breathe at some point. I laugh again and pull away. He smiles. "I guess that's a yes." I smile and tangle our fingers together as we walk back to the others.
"Hey." Sophie says. I transmit to Dex, She doesn't know. It's our secret. He smiles and we go to talk to our friends about who their soulmates could be and why.
