y/n pov

i couldn't help but think i was missing something. it seems like everyone else got what was going on. i read the caption over and over whilst cursing myself for being so oblivious. i'm so confused. ugghhh.

"what's wrong, love?" tobin asked, taking a left turn towards her house. we were finally on our way home -er her home after a long day of errands.

"oh, uhm, nothing. just wanna take a nap." she looked at me not believing what i had said. "both eyes on the road, ms. riskey."

she chuckled and looked forward. "ms. riskey?" she asked amused. i just smiled and rolled my eyes.

"just get us home safely."

"home?" i got wide-eyed and shot my head towards her, seeing a face eating grin forming on her face.

"oh uh-" i started flustered. "i-i feel at home whenever i'm w-with you, i g-guess."

"really?" she asked as she parked in the driveway of her one story.

"yeah." i smiled trying to hide my blush. "ever since i first met you i-in person." i mentally curse myself for stuttering.

all she did was sit there and stare at me with the best smile i've ever seen. i couldn't help but feel horse sized butterflies erupt in my stomach.

"i feel the same way." the way she looked at me said it all. holy shit. i'm so dumb. she loves m-

"i have to tell you something." she rested her hand on top of mine. i nodded for her to go on. "come on, let's go inside." i couldn't help but gulp down the lump in my throat.

as we got out of the car and made out way to the door, i couldn't help but wonder about the situation that lies ahead of me. what is she going to say? how is it going to turn out? how will i react? will i mess up and say something dumb? fuck fuck fuck fuck.
why am i so scared?????

she entered the building and sat down on her couch, patting the space next to her, signaling for me to sit.

"look, ever since i came across your profile, i had this feeling at the bottom of my stomach that wouldn't go away. no matter what i did, i couldn't get you off my mind. and now that we're dating, i honestly feel like i'm in some kind of fantasy land." i let out a light laugh after she, herself, did, too. "i'm going to tell you something, but you don't have to say it back just yet. i just have to tell you. y/f/n, i'm falling for you -no, i love you. i love you, and i believe i always will."

no words left my mouth. i could say anything. what the hell? say it back, you twat.

i saw her smile falter. shit. do somethinggggg.

with surprise, of myself, i lunged forward and caught her lips with my own. every kiss feels just like the first. every kiss makes me melt. but this one, this one lifts me into heights unknown. but we needed to pull away because of the lack of air.

"i love you, tobin powell heath. i love you back, and i believe i always will."

and she smiled that same goofy smile she saves only for me. the same goofy smile i'm falling for each and every day.

what is this girl doing to me?
