“Fuck, Sky. Are you really going to make me say it?”
“Yes.”
He presses his temple to mine and breathes me in.
“You know why.”
“Say it. I want to hear you say it,” I demand, the memory of him ordering me to tell him to take my virginity coming to the forefront of my mind.
There is a small smile that tugs at his lips as if he too is being pulled back to that magical night.
“You always did love to bust my balls,” he jokes lightheartedly.
I grab hold of his shirt, gripping it in my hands.
“Say it,” I whisper, my whole body trembling in anticipation.
“You won’t let it go, will you?”
“No. So say it,” I reply eagerly.
“I love you, Sky,” he whispers with a coy smile. “I’minlove with you. And no matter how hard I try, I can’t stop. It’s a fucking problem.”
“A big problem?” I grin, wrapping my arms around his neck.
“The biggest.”
“So what are you going to do about it?”
“I guess there is only one thing I can do,” he says, running his nose up and down the length of mine.
“And what’s that?”
“Love you. I’ll love you for as long as you let me.”
“And what if I want you to love me forever?” I croak out nervously, tugging at the strands of his hair.
His blue eyes stare into mine, the love he had been so desperately trying to hide all this time right there in his gaze.
“If forever is all I have, then so be it. Forever won’t be long enough for me, though. Not nearly enough.”
“No?” I rasp, falling deeper and deeper.
“No, Sky. I’ll probably love you in this life and the next, and all the ones that will follow. I won’t be able to prevent it. Don’t you see? It’s you, Sky. It’s always been you. It will always be you.”
Happy tears sting the corners of my eyes as I lunge myself fully at him, his arms wrapping themselves tightly around my waist.
“Promise?” I sob, my heart feeling so full it might float off into the night sky.
“Forever, Sky. You’ll have all of my forevers. I promise.”
And like a lovesick fool, I believe him.
If only I hadn’t.
