I can’t believe I told him. I had woken up a few moments after Nick had left for the bathroom. I laid there for a while while he was in the shower trying to figure out a way to make things right between us. The only thing I could come up with was to tell him how I felt about him.
As scared as I was, I knew it was the only way I could really fix things. I left to change and when I came back Nick was brushing his hair on the floor. I told him we needed to talk and the next thing I knew I was telling him how much I loved him.
He crawled into my lap and wrapped his arms around my neck. He told me he loved me as well and it felt like the world couldn’t get any better than it was at that moment. I realized it could when I leaned down and kissed him.
It felt like the world had suddenly stopped, just for us.
It was like we were the only two that mattered. I broke the kiss and hugged him tightly to me. Nothing felt better than holding him in my arms. I would love nothing more than to be able to hold him forever.
“What does all of this mean Kevvy? I mean what do you want to do about this?” Nick asked softly.
I thought about it for a moment before I answered him. “I would like to try and us Nicky, What do you think?” I asked gently.
“I want nothing more than to love you for the rest of my life and have you love me. I’ve loved you for as long as I can remember. My life is not complete unless you are standing by my side holding my hand. You are the other half of me. I can’t imagine spending the rest of my life with anyone else but you, Kevvy. So yes I would love to be an us, a couple. It would be us against the world, like it always has been, except this time it’s for real.” Nick said looking deep into my eyes.
