Right before we were about to meet up with the rest of the group, Zero pulled me aside, to talk to me in private. I told Asuka to go on ahead without me. I wondered what he wanted to talk about. He was always so mysterious, always keeping me guessing.
"You wanted to talk to me Zero?"I asked with a smile bright on my face. I found that I loved the fact we were alone, probably because alone wasn't something that was very common in a group this big.
"Yeah." he nodded, "We've been together for a while now haven't we?"
"Yeah why?" I replied, not sure what he was getting at, though I found my heart started racing.
"Well when two people remain together for so long things begin to happen..." he trailed off.
I felt so stupid because I still wasn't getting what he was trying to say. "What are trying to say Zero?" I wondered aloud. He just stood there as though he was trying to figure out how to put to words he was thinking about. "Is something wrong?" I asked bringing my face close to his to examine his face, and I found myself staring into his gorgeous eyes, and I seemed to be drowning in them.
"Ariel...I...I...I" he was stumbling for words.
"I'll go get someone to check if your sick." I said as I turned to go get someone to help me figure out what was wrong with him.
He reached out, grabbing my wrist and pulled me close. "I LOVE YOU ARIEL!" he shouted.
At that moment, it seemed we were the only two beings in it. I felt myself freeze as it took my heart a while to process what he was saying. I looked up, unsure if I had heard him right. Any doubt was immediately erased when I saw the truth in his eyes. There was such depth to them. I could see the love, compassion, and caring radiate from them.
The words were on the tip of my tongue, just itching to be said, but I found my body moving of its own accord. It seemed I couldn't stop myself from standing on my tip toes and leaning in to kiss him, hoping that it would assure him of my feelings. I wanted there to be no doubt for him. Hoping a kiss would help him see that I loved him too.
