My first crush (COMPLETED)√

Chapter 17

"I know but I'm confused." These are periods when I want something but I knew it is wrong wanting them. That's me being selfish.

"I swear I want to be with you, not Patricia." He held my hands.

"But..." He shunned me.

"I never liked her like I am with you now. We've been friends since childhood. My parents had a business agreement with them. It disgusts me anytime I think about it. It's never going work out. I'll do everything to end it I promise." He embraced me.

"Okay," I said.

"So does it mean that we are together now!" He released me from his embrace.

"I don't know. Maybe."

"Tell me now. I want to hear you say it!"

"No," I said looking a bit shy. I can't believe I have fallen this hard. I just want him even if it meant taking risks.

"Please...."

"Okay."

"I want a yes." He said back.

"Yes." I pushed him.

"I love you." He tickled me playfully.

"Liar. That's too early." I burst into laughter and we kissed.

"I really mean it, Sharon," I reassure him.

"Well, I love you more than anything." I would say I'm lying because. I would gladly trade anything for food.

"I....." The doorbell rang, distracting us. I forgot my mom said she would be home soon.

"Stephen you need to hide right now."

"No! Why?"

"Please I beg you. Please...."

"Okay, fine. Where should I hide?"

"At the back of the couch."

"I hate this." He grumbled.

"Please..." I went to open the door only to find someone I never expected. Who am I seeing right now? "Eric?"
