The Stones

(From Ella's Perspective)

"Why me?" he asked.

I laughed. "That's the type of thing girls ask usually. Now that you asked... Well, it's because I like you and you said you like me too. Don't you think we need to be truthful and respect each other's privacy? It's not like I have any kind of privacy as I told you everything about me. But I don't know all about you, so until then, I think it's good to let you keep your secrets and stuff like that, you know."

"But a few days ago, you didn't know if I like you."

"But I knew that I like you," I said and just that moment, I realized what I had said. I had just admitted that I had liked him before too, now there was no turning back because I would not lie to him no matter what. It was who I was. I did not like to lie to the person I cared about. And he was beyond a possibility of being lied to. 

"Don't make is sound awkward and weird. Just don't say anything," I said hastily before he could say something.
