They were lying in bed, close to one another. Despite the movie playing in the T.V. and the loud sounds it made, all she could hear was her beating heart, which seemed to be beating at 100 m/h. All she could feel were his arms around her and his breath at her neck. All she could think was about him, together with her just as they were.
She tried to focus on the movie, Gosh, calm down. He'll notice. She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply. And just as she did, he whispered into her ear, ''I love you.'' And then it was just as if, the world had stopped. Everything went quiet, and that short phrase resonated in her mind. Her eyes widened and a broad smile appeared in her face.
She didn't hesitate to turn around and look at him. He looked nervous and anxious, waiting for a response. Just how hard did he try to be able to say that? It must have been scary. She looked into his eyes and asked, hoping to find some reassurance to what he said, which seemed too good to be true, ''R-Really?''
He smiled broadly as well, ''Yes, really. I love you.''
She could feel her eyes getting teary. Just how long did I wait to hear that? Just how hard did I try to be able to hear that? And now, he said it. He ... loves me back. Gosh, he loves me back. She wiped off the tears before they rolled down her cheeks and just kept on smiling. ''I love you, too.'' She buried her face in his chest, ''Gosh, I love you, too.''
She was the happiest she had ever been. And still is, because up to this day, he loves her back.
