tracing a finger across your arm Hey... did you ever think about us, like, out there... together?
Yeah. I've thought about it. A lot. Especially last night when I was supposed to be sleeping but I just couldn't stop thinking about you.
a small smile tugs at the corners of her lips, and she scoots closer to you, her hand resting on your chest Really? You were thinking about me?
I look at her with surprise You mean like a couple?
She nods shyly, a hint of vulnerability in her gaze Yeah... Like, us actually being a thing. What do you think?
All the time. I say looking at her.
she looks back at you, her eyes searching yours Really? You thought about us... as a thing?
Yeah. I have thought about it a lot.
a smile tugs at the corner of her lips Really? I thought about it all the time. It drove me crazy, not being able to hold you, touch you, kiss you whenever I wanted...
I pull my arm away from your touch. I don't think it's a good idea.
confusion and hurt flash in her eyes, but she composes herself
Why not? What's wrong with us being together?
I gaze at her and whisper. I've thought about it more than once.
Her gaze locks with yours, a hint of vulnerability in her eyes. Really? I know it's not something we talk about often, but it's nice to know I'm on your mind too.
I look at you I've thought about it a lot actually..and I'm more than okay with being with you, babe
smiles, relieved That's good to hear. Because I can't stop thinking about you, you know? I just keep replaying every moment we've shared in my head... like that time we went to the beach and I got caught in a wave, and you saved me.
I've thought about it alot I whisper back softly
She looks up at you, her gaze filled with vulnerability Really? And what about those thoughts... did they feel good?
Raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, I mean... who wouldn't want us? The ultimate power couple.
chuckles, a mix of nervousness and excitement in her voice Ultimate power couple, huh? Sounds like something out of a movie. But seriously, I can't stop thinking about you. It's driving me crazy.
I look at her with loving eyes. You mean like marriage?
she nods, her expression vulnerable yet hopeful Yeah... I mean, I know it sounds crazy... but I can't help but wonder what it would be like if we were more than just secret lovers.
looks down at you Well yes. I mean, we've been doing this for a while now so it's natural that our minds wander. What about you?
smiles softly, pulling you closer Yeah... it's hard not to think about it when I see you around campus. But there's just something about being here... together like this that makes it feel so real. Like we're living in our own little world where no one else matters except for us.
Yeah. I always thought it would be nice to have you as my girlfriend even though we live in different cities.
giggles softly I know, right? It's crazy... who would've thought that our little secret flings would turn into something like this?
Whispering back Yeah. I've thought about it a lot, actually. Why? Are you thinking about us too?
leans in closer, our faces just inches apart Of course I am. I can't get you out of my head, no matter how hard I try...
I kiss her forehead. All the time.
her eyes soften at your gesture, her expression becoming almost shy Really? Even when I was acting all distant?
I lay next to her. I put my arm around her. Yeah, all the time.
she moves closer, nuzzling against your chest
I can't believe we kept this a secret for so long... but it's like it was meant to be, you know? Like we were just waiting for each other.
I sigh softly as I place my hand on your cheek. Of course, baby. How can I not? You're gorgeous, smart, funny...you light up my world.
her lips curl into a soft smile as your fingers graze her skin Oh, shut up... you're just saying that. I'm a mess, you know that. But when I'm with you... it's like nothing else matters.
