Chapter 5 - my girl

It took me a moment to process the words "I love you". No one has ever told me that before, I have never felt this way towards anyone, I loved Lacey so much, but I hadn't known her for that long... She is all I care about and I can see her in my future. She stared at me, shaking nervously – I didn't want her to feel this way. I would always be here for her; she is my girl.

"I love you too Lacey Parker."

She put her hand on mine and she looked into my eyes, I did the same, she smiled, leaned in and kissed me. I kissed her back, my hands around the back of her head and she was sitting on my lap, she tasted like peppermint, I pulled away after I'd finally lost my breathe, knowing she had too. She smiled at me innocently and asked if I wanted to go get a drink.

We shared a cookies and cream milkshake and went through the comment section of her song, my girl, "your dream came true Lace" I grinned, playing with her hair.

"If I had never met you, I wouldn't be here, this song was made for you Catherine." She hugged me tightly, and I broke it off when I felt a rain drop on my head. She giggled

"Ever kissed in the rain?"

I smirked at her and we made out in the middle of the road whilst it was raining. We joked about that as we walked back to her room all soaking wet.

"Here, Catherine," She handed me a towel as I was drenched. I sat on her bed; I was going to be leaving her in a couple of days. She is all I want, my girl.

She handed me some warm clothes as she got dressed herself.

"Lacey?"

"Yes, babe?" she asked, putting her shirt on.

"I don't think I would be able to leave you, what if long distance won't work?" Tears started forming in my eyes. She approached me.

"Come with me, please"

she wiped my tears away as she laid me down next to her in bed and hugged me. That was all I need right now.

"Please, we can start our own future together. I know we have only just met but I don't feel like we are rushing anything. I know that you are my soulmate, I have never felt this was with any of my past relationships before. You're eighteen and I am nineteen, when our holiday is over we can both move somewhere and start fresh, I really do love you Catherine, so does my whole family."

I looked into her eyes, wow... she really did mean all of that, I could feel myself blush while I was trying not to,

"Yes," I smirked.

"Let's move to Santa Monica, I know you would be obsessed with the beach and some of my favourite singers live in LA! I could find someone to collaborate with for my career there is-"

I wasn't listening to what she was saying, I was so distracted. I couldn't believe my luck I was able to call her my girl <3
