Chapter 14
Ava
I'm in love. This should be a nightmare or a dream because this can't come true. I'm in love. Am I in love? Me? Oh hell, no.. I am in love! Connor is looking at me which is making this even worse. He's my boyfriend now somehow, and I'm his girlfriend. This can go either very bad, or it can go either very good. Who knows! All I know is that I'm Connor's girlfriend now, and it's the best feeling in the entire world. He's smiling at me which makes me blush, damn how much I love this boy. We're only eighteen, but isn't this what love is? Being young and irresponsible, but somehow can figure out life and can find that person who can save you and help you and stand by your side until maybe the day you die? I hope I'm right because I just found that guy. I found Connor, and he better stay with me or else I might just fight this kid.
"So, you wanna make out now or you wanna just live this sorry ass life?" He says which takes me a second to process on what he just said.
"Um, I'm gonna say no to the first thing you just said, but for that second one, hell yeah." He smiles as those words just made him the happiest person in the entire world. I lost count of the time and forgot about my classes and crap that I gotta unload. I take a step back but still stuck in Connor's arms as he won't let go of me.
"Uh Connor, you gotta let go. This has been fun, but I have so much work I gotta do, and so do you!" I say which makes him still smiling. Damn this boy is weird, but still mine.
"I can't. Not until you say the words that I've been waiting and dreaming for since I saw you, Ava." I stare into his eyes and give a confusing look since I have no clue what he's talking about. Absolutely no clue.
"What words?" I say which makes him turn serious. Oh crap, I'm dead. A sigh leaves his mouth as he brings me closer.
"You know what words Ava." Those words give me nothing. Not one clue until I figure what he actually means. The words that my mother says to my father and what my father says to my mother every time they're together. The words I hear my sister say as she talks to her friends on the phone. The words that can somehow change a life of a person, and the words that somehow didn't come through to me when I was with Jayson. My eyes sparkle as I think of those words which make Connor's eyes sparkle too.
"Oh. Those words. Hm, are you like dying to hear them or something?" I say which makes him groan.
"Well duh. Please, Ava. Don't make me suffer through this. Don't tease me with this. Just say it. You know it." Of course, I do. Without him, I wouldn't even understand the meaning of it. I might be crazy for falling in love with someone under like three weeks, but if it's love, it has to be crazy. I go on my tippy-toes and say the words Connor has been wanting to hear.
"I love you, Connor. Don't let this go through your head or something okay?" I say as he kisses me so hard, I almost fell down.
"It already did babe. It already did. Oh yeah, I forgot. I love you too." He says which makes me melt inside. Connor loves me, and I do too. Loves crazy, but guess what? So are we, and the life we live in is too.
