Excerpt

And we sat there together, lying by the great oak tree outside her house, hand in hand, heart on sleeve. Feeling eternally as one, our souls forever intertwined  While we gazed at the starry night and hoped in our hearts that very moment would never come to an end. That we could be together until the end of time, lost in our innocence.

"Andres" she whispered
"Yes?"
"I think... I think that I'm in love with you."
Love is a strong word.
"I love you too."
"But are you in love with me? There's a big difference you know."
"Yes" I said "I am in love with you. I am so in love with you that I can't stop thinking about you. So in love with you that I often just sit in that very spot, not trying to get you off my mind. You mean the world to me, and I love and am in love with you."
Her eyes lit up. I'd been keeping that in for weeks.
"...Do you really mean that?"
"Of course I do."
She leans over and lies on my chest, staring at the sky and listening intently to the pulse of my heart.
"You're nervous!" she giggled
"I am not" I replied playfully
Yes I was.
"You are too! Your heart is going 80 miles a minute! And look at your hands... They're all sweaty!"
Embarrassed, I brushed them off quickly.
"Don't worry." She said " I think that it's cute."

I blush, or at least as much as someone my skin color can blush, and smile. I had everything. My life was complete and I was happy. And with that she fell asleep. Contently resting on my chest as I brushed her hair and put my arm around her.
