REBEL HEART (GxG)

GAB

This must be a dream- I thought to myself. I secretly pinched my cheek when Lexi's gaze was not on me. But this is real, it's happening. I am with Lexi and just last night she did not avoid me nor got mad at me, she told me she liked me too. I never thought that was even possible. But yeah I wouldn't complain though I'm still wrapping my head around it.

I am paddling slowly not really knowing where to go because my eyes are glued to this beautiful woman in front of me. She's wearing a white sundress with her hair tied into a loose pony tail that's kept on her right shoulder. She looks immaculately beautiful today and I would love to see her every day of my living life. I've been having real strong feelings for Lexi but I don't know if it's the right time to spill the beans. Sure I don't want to freak her out again but sometimes I just can't help to get mushy around her, like I just want to let her know how I crave her presence, how my heart picks up its pace at the sight of her and how all the air escapes my lungs and leaves me out of breath every time I hold her close to me. I want to keep her but with all these feeling I have, I fear that I might scare her and then she'll start avoiding me again.

I shook my head as I focused on my paddle. When I saw the lake the moment I got here, the first thing I wanted to do was to go on canoeing. I thought of inviting Lexi to come with me but the past days were a mixed of bickering and yeah basically just bickering on each other. I'm glad that we'd finally gotten over that part. I was surprised that Lexi liked canoeing as well.

I'm doing a mental note of everything that Lexi liked because it might be of my advantage in the long run. I guess I have to put them into writing though because I think Lexi quite likes a lot of things. For one, she likes dancing in the rain and of course it's with me. She likes red velvet cupcake and that having said, only from the Pink Coconut Café. Lexi loves canoeing and again with yours truly of course. Of course kissing me would go on top of everything but there's one thing that Lexi does unconsciously and I think it's starting to become a habit. Lexi likes to draw imaginary circles over my arms or my thighs or my ear and even in my face sometimes. It tickles every living cell inside of me but she gets mad every time I stop her and I am left with no choice but to just let her. She's way too cute to get mad at anyway.

"Gab thanks for this, the lake is so beautiful"

I shrugged as I continued to paddle.

"Only second to you"

I winked at her and she has this huge grin across her face. She liked what I said but then dipped her hand on the lake splashing me some water.

"Oh no you didn't Lexi"

I placed the paddle on the bottom floor and moved closer. I also dipped my hands and started splashing water to her. Lexi yelled for me to stop but I'm having so much fun it's impossible to stop.

"Gab I'm soaking wet. Stop it"

Lexi was lauging so hard and was also splashing water to me.

"Okay enough or we might get sick"

I moved closer to her, caressing her face as I plant a soft kiss on her lips. I knew it caught her off guard and I love doing that to her.

"Or we can go swim"

I removed my shoes then I jumped into the water causing a big splash onto Lexi's face. I held up a peace sign after.

"Come let's swim, the water felt so good! Come on Lexi"

"No Gab, get back here"

"Lexi please"

I tried to persuade her and in the end she jumped out of the boat and we were swimming into the lake.
