She had thought about this moment for months while school was out. Her head rested on his chest as she closed her eyes and smiled. She heard his voice rumble in his chest against her ear. The familiar French accent that she adored was ever present.<br/><br/>Reluctantly, she let go and looked up at him with a smile on her face.<em>"I've taken up painting, you should see all the portraits I've made of you. There must be hundreds of them."</em>She heard him say. The blush on her cheeks darkened a bit. But she waited for him to finish talking before she responded.<br/><br/>"I bet they're beautiful." She paused for a moment, taking in all that he had just told her. The girl felt his hand on her cheek and she placed hers over top of it, feeling the warmth of him. His words really weighed on her, as she knew she felt the same way about him.<br/><br/>"I don't care about keeping it a secret anymore. I don't care what people say, or what they think about us. Being away from you made me realize that." She nodded, her smile getting wider. "I'm with you. And I shouldn't be afraid to let people know that." There was determination in her voice.
