(Mikes POV)

Did... Will just kiss me? I can't even process what's happening right now??

As soon as he pulls away, I can see that he's smiling HARD. He really likes me? He likes me. 

"Wow," I say speechlessly. Will just kissed me? Not on the cheek?? And I thought I was brave for making the first move. I can FEEL my face being fully red. This is so embarassing. Why am I blushing?

Will's smile fades slowly. "Oh, sorry." What? Sorry? What is he sorry for? He just kissed me!!

"No, don't be sorry. That was..." I look down at my hands. Will is clutching my hands like they're going to run away or something!

"Unexpected?" He interrupts and we both share a laugh. "Yeah, unexpected." I hesitate. He's actually a way better kisser than El. "But..." I look back up at Will and he looks SCARED. 

"But...?" Quickly, I say, "I didn't expect you to be a better kisser than El."

Will raises his eyebrow at me. "Seriously?" Yes, seriously!

"Yes!" 

For a moment we just sit there, looking at eachother. Is this even real?

Then, Will looks down at how he's holding my hands and quickly rips them away. His smile disappears. "What's wrong?" I ask. I don't know if I should take his hand and hold it again or just leave it. 

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that." What? 

"What? Will, done what?" And then I realize. 

"Kiss you." His eyes water. 

"Oh. Yeah." I think about El and how she'd hate me if she'd find out. But how would she find out? It's not like I like her any more than I love Will. 

"I'm so sorry. Mike, I really-" Before he can continue talking, without thinking, I kiss him again. No. I shouldn't do this to him. But I can't pull away, I just can't. It feels so... right. It feels so right to be sitting here and to be kissing him. I mean, it's not like I was in love with him for all these years for nothing. 

He takes my hands and pulls away. "Mike?" He says. 

"Yeah?" I have literally no idea what he's going to say so I'm kind of FREAKING OUT??

He takes a deep breath in and chokes on his words. "I, uh... I-" He breaks off his sentence by taking another breath. 

What is it?????

"I love you."
