Blue Eyes

Deja Vu

Sarah POV

Rhett and Link are still the same blue eyed boys I knew when we were kids. They haven't changed a bit. I loved those eyes. I guess I still do.

Ah, those sweet, deep blue eyes. How could I ever forget them? They were as deep and blue as a raging ocean- filled with such alluring magic and wonder. Maybe I should tell him about how I felt all those years ago. I mean, he's not married and Brandon technically did leave the decision up to me. I got nothing to lose right?

As I get ready and go towards the kitchen, I notice that the mess that was my living room was no more. Link must have cleaned it up. I smile and think "I love him." This time I really mean it.

I then make myself breakfast and quickly eat it while I'm thinking about what to say to Link. I want to do something fun with him. We should go out to dinner and just enjoy ourselves. I decide to give him a call and see if he's up for it.

Link POV

The next morning I woke up with a smile on my face. I couldn't stop thinking about Sarah. She's beautiful. I love her long, curly hair and her big brown eyes. I have got to stop thinking that way. She doesn't like me like that.

My phone starts to ring.

"Hello?"

"Hey Link!"

"Sarah! I was just thinking about you!"

"Really? What about?"

"Oh nothing. Nevermind."

"Uhhhhh okay then...."

"What's up?"

"I was wondering if you would maybe want to do something fun. Just the two of us. We haven't really done that in a while and I wanted to see if you were maybe up for it."

"What did you have in mind?"

"Oh I don't know. Maybe a movie or dinner?"

"Hmmmmmm..... Okay. Sounds good!"

"Great! So I'll see ya tonight?"

"Yeah. I'll come by at 7."

"Great! I can't wait!"

Sarah POV

I have to get ready. Link will be here soon. Wait. Why am I stressing? It's just Link. Oh, Link.

I don't know if I'm ready for this but I can't back down now. Maddie's right. I have to tell him.

A few minutes pass by and Link shows up. He's wearing skinny jeans and apparently a new t-shirt. It says "It's Okay Pluto. I'm not a planet either" and has a doodle of a sad dwarf planet, Pluto. I think it's new because I've never seen it before today and it's adorable. I wonder where he got it. I think I'm gonna ask him. He comes to the door and gets ready to knock when I open it. He looks at me surprised but happy.

"Oh! Hello Sarah!" he says as he kisses my cheek.

"Hey Link! You ready to have some fun?"

"Definitely!"

The first thing I think to do is build a pillow fort we can hang out in and watch the movie. So I grab a bunch of pillows from all over the house and bring them down to the living room. We use the couch and chairs as a frame and get a big sheet and drape it over the front. It was amazing and fun to make. It felt like we were kids again. I then order a pizza and Link gets some drinks from the kitchen. We then get inside and get a movie. We start talking while we're waiting for the pizza. 

"Oh Link! I meant to ask you. Where'd you get your shirt from?"

"Oh, this? A mythical beast sent it to me."

"Mythical beast?"

"Yeah. Rhett and I's fans."

"Oh. That's right. Sorry, I forgot you and Rhett are in the entertainment business."

"Yeah. It's okay. Don't worry about it." 

Link looks at me like he has to say something but then once we make eye contact he looks down and sighs. I was about to ask him what was wrong when the doorbell rang. The pizza was here.

"Ooooo pizza's here!" He exclaims. I just laugh. One thing to always remember is in order to keep a man happy, all you gotta do is feed him and keep him entertained.

Once Link and I finish eating we start the movie. It was a funny movie. I enjoyed it. However I can't say the same for Link because he fell asleep halfway through it. I give him a kiss on the cheek and his eyes open. He takes his glasses off, rubs his eyes and then places the glasses back on his nose. He looks at me and then looks at the TV.

He groans annoyed at himself and asks me "did I fall asleep AGAIN?"

I just laugh "yes Link. You did."

"Dang it! Why does that ALWAYS happen?"

I continue to laugh.

"What's so funny?"

"You. You always find a way to make me laugh" I say while still laughing.

He realizes how ridiculous he sounded and laughed at himself along with me. 

After a while we both stop laughing. He and I make eye contact again. This time he did not look away. His eyes are intoxicating. I can't help but get lost in them. He puts one hand on my cheek gently rubbing it with his thumb. It tickles a little which causes me to smile but I don't reject it.

He seems to be getting closer and closer to me. Before I know it there is very little space between us on this couch. Then, it happens.

He cautiously leans in, like he's afraid of what'll happen. He pauses. His nose was inches from mine. He looks into my eyes almost like he's asking permission. My heart is racing so fast. I was afraid it would burst out of my chest. I'm surprised he didn't say anything about it. I was sure he could hear it. A few seconds pass and he relaxes. He closes his eyes as I close mine, leans in the last few inches and kisses me.
