The Confession

"Or...you're afraid to say yes to this dance because you're already falling in love with me?" he said.

My ears flamed hot as I pursed my lips. I can't bring my mouth to answer him because deep down, my heart already knows who it is. My heart already knows it....and he's right.

"I-I'm not afraid," I said bravely but stammered. I don't know where I get the courage to say that because my knees are so weak that I can't guarantee I still can stand up properly without his support.

"Say yes to me, then." He dared, and I gulped.

"Well damn it, Eion! Let's just end it once and for all!”

With his hands on my waist and my arms on his neck, we danced, swaying slowly to the beat of the song. It felt like we had our own word as the crickets around us offered a background song along with the song from the earphones. It was not something fancy. I shouldn't have gone to the prom if I knew he was going to surprise me this way. I enjoyed this more than the prom.
