Short Story "I Love You": by Dominique Weldon~
"I love you."
His words sent my heart in a panic. The flutter in my chest that of a hummingbird--and all because of three simple words. The darkness of the night left his eyes smoldering. Nobody was around his parked car, leaving the two of us alone outside on my street. Everything was too much, any more, and my heart would burst.
"Y-Y-You what...?" I finally managed to whisper.
He shook his head, then took a step closer towards me. Out of instinct, I took one back, causing me to press against his car's door. A startled breath caught in my throat; yet, all I could do was stare.
That's when all his words came out in a rush. "I'm tired of waiting for the 'right moment.' I can't take anymore of this... waiting bull! I just want... I just..."
A rare moment, one I thought I'd never see in my life. Here he is...so helpless, so unlike him. No--this isn't right. I began to pull away, squeezing my eyes shut to force the tears back. Such a typical girl move, but I couldn't help it.
"Stop," I begged. "You know we can't do this. We're only--"
His mouth then covered my own. My sentence never had a chance to end, cut off by his kiss. The warmth exploded in my chest, and my hand cupped his face. I couldn't fight it--continuing to kiss him under the night sky.
