----- Chapter Twenty Three -----

"And…umm…this other person…" Abs lifts his head and stares at me. It's really hard to look into those brown eyes for too long but somehow I manage to hold my gaze, "It's you. I wanna be with you…"

I sit there, frozen in shock. What? I can't take THIS in either.

"I…I spoke to Scott earlier today and told him how I felt. Then he told me what you told him…and I guess everything that's been happening lately just kinda made sense. I mean, if he's telling the truth, then it sorta explains why we haven't been getting on that well, right? Anyway, I didn’t know if I should believe him but I wanted to take the chance…all of everything that's been going on, well I didn’t wanna be with Danielle again, especially after I ended it last time. But she was like a sure thing and I needed to be with someone…" he explains quickly. I broke his gaze minutes ago, but I can see that he's staring at the floor again, "So, umm…what d'ya think? Will you go out with me?"

I manage to nod - I have so lost my voice. Abs hugs me, and then kisses me gently. And I'm in heaven, I really am.
