Thomas and Drew III

"Drew. I.."

"Thomas stop. You don't have to say anything. I understand that you couldn't possibly have feelings for me that match the way I feel about you. I just had to tell you. If I hadn't I would have went insane." I shook my head. "What I said, let's just pretend it didn't happen." 

Thomas looked at me, his face a mix of expressions. His eyes were clouded with confusion, and he wrinkled his eyebrows in concentration. He bit his bottom lip, the way he does when he doesn't know what to say.

"Thomas?" I said quietly, "what are you..."

Thomas leaned through the window and kissed me. My world exploded. My vision went blurry. All I could hear was Thomas' breath. All I could feel were his lips on mine, his breath on my face. I closed my eyes, completely shutting out the world around me. Thomas put his hand on my cheek, caressing it lightly. He pulled back, just enough to say,

"Drew. I love you too." He kissed me again.  This time, I pulled away. I looked into his eyes. His beautiful eyes.

"Thomas, I have loved you for so long, but I was so afraid to tell you. I didn't want to be rejected by you. I never even imagined you could love me." I blurted out, my face turning red. "Why didn't you ever tell me?" I asked him. He thought for a moment. 

"I didn't even know that I did until you ran out of he restaurant crying. It hurt me so much Drew. To see you in pain, crying. I sat there, not knowing what to do, just wanting to talk to you. Just wanting to know you were okay. Wanting to make sure you were okay. Making sure nobody ever made you feel that way. And that was when I realized." he smiled weakly.

"Realized what?" I asked. Thomas looked confused.

"That I love you." he said, with a frown. "Have you even been listening to me?"

I smiled. "Yes. I just wanted to hear you say it again." 

Thomas laughed. "Iloveyou Iloveyou Iloveyou." he said and kissed me again. "Let's go to my house." 

I smiled and nodded. I watched Thomas in my mirror as he walked to his car and got in. He drove past me and I followed him. I sent Jayk a text.

 "I won be home tonight."
