He started to move towards, and a surge of panic took over. Her movements quicker, more frantic, as she tried to escape him. Her back smashing into the unforgiving wood, and CC knew she wasn’t going to get away from him.<br/><br/>His words struck a nerve deep inside her. He….had….written? Her face showing her confusion, she shook her head slowly. “No. That’s impossible. My father would have told me.”<br/><br/>She gasped as he pressed against her. Electricity sparked anew an throughout her. This felt so strange, and yet there was something exhilarating about being so close to him. It seemed right, so perfect, so incredibly perfect.  Her eyes at his. She never looked away.<br/><br/>At first, as he spoke, it seemed the words weren’t really real. It was more what she wanted him to say, a dream, anything but reality, but as the water stilled and her nose rested against his, she realized this wasn’t some dream she was having while resting at home in her bed. This was real. This was Robbie before her confessing his love. Something she had always wanted. Something she certain she would never have, and now here it is. He was right there before her, and she could reach out and touch him, hold him, kiss him, tell exactly how she felt.  Before those words were given the chance to pass from her lips, his were pressed against her own. She felt the kiss linger, and slowly she brought her hands up to cradle his face.<br/><br/>As the kiss came to a close, her nose rested against his once more. “Robbie….I….” She paused still locked to him. “Robbie I love you. I always have. I was just too scared to tell you. What if you didn’t like me? What if you laughed at me? What if you rejected me? What if told everyone that I loved you as a joke? Well I spent the time we had together before so afraid of the ‘what ifs’. Now that I am fortunate enough to have more time with you, I won’t waste my time. I may get into so much trouble with my father, but, “ she shook her head, “I don’t care. Say it again Robbie. Then, if you want to, kiss me.”
