End of the day, come and take my arms,
There's no place I'd rather be than in your arms.

"I love you."

I froze

Wait what?

Wait whaat!?

WAIT WHAAAAT!?

I looked at the man in front of me with horror, pure horror caked up all over my face..

What the fuck did he just say, again?

I could feel my heartbeat loud and wild as I simply waited for him to scream a 'surprise' while I kick him in the shin for being so annoying but to my shock, he didn't, and before I could even utter a word he continued.

"I know you might think I'm just playing around but trust me I'm not, I--" he gulped.

"I fell for you the very day you slapped me right across my face, the day I made you cry but you still stood your ground, and even more, you still stood and stayed by me.

I know everything I say right now may feel baseless and empty to you but the truth is, I had been building this up within me, for ages now and I had to let it out. I don't blame you if you don't believe me, however, I just want to say, that. If I can't tell you now how I feel? I will spend the rest of my life showing you how much I love you."

My heart dropped at his words and I could feel myself getting a little teary but I ignored it.

He ended with his head bowed down while I?
