Italics: Ms. Know-it-all/Ellie

Italics+Bold: Xander

Missy?

Miss Know-it-all?

Missy!!

WHAT?

Why won't you say something?

What is there to say?

Well you could start off by saying that you agree with me.

But I don't agree with you, Xander. You don't know me. You know nothing about me! You can't just say stuff like this when you don't even know the real me.

But I do know you, Missy.

No you don't! All you think you know about me is what I allow you to know, and I believe the real me is not someone you would ever fall for. Not in a million years.

Well it's time I prove you wrong then.

What are you talking about?

You're wrong.

Hang on, there's someone at the door.

As I run down the stairs to open the front door, my jaw immediately drops and eyes widen. A small gasp escapes my mouth and my hand unwillingly rises to my mouth. "X-Xander?!"

My twin sister smirks and winks at me before rushing to the kitchen. It makes me wonder if she has anything to do with this.

Xander's caramel eyes look up from the floor as he runs his hand down his messy brown hair. His defined jawline causes his appearance to provoke my heart to melt even more. "You're wrong, Ellie," he says in a smooth yet raspy voice, taking a step towards me and handing me a bouquet of lillies. I hate lillies. They're so cliché.

"You're the kind of girl I'd fall for, over and over again," he continues. "I just want you to give me a chance to prove it to you." His cheeks slightly turn to pink as he looks down at the floor.

My heart does many wild flip flops and soon the entire zoo enters my stomach.

"I hate lillies," is the only thing I master to say.

His eyes shoot up, his lips slightly parting as if he's embarrassed. "I-I didn't..."

"Of course you didn't know. How would you have know?" I lightly scoff, shaking my head. "Whatever you think you feel for me, Xander, is a lie. Okay?" I shove him back the bouquet of flowers although deep down I don't want to be doing this to him.

"But Missy..."

"No, Xander!" I say, averting my eyes from him as I control the tears in my eyes. "I want you to leave. . .please. Just leave."

"But-"

"I said please!" I cut him off, pointing my eyes at his and instantly feeling my heart break into pieces.

He remains a few seconds staring at me, confused and heartbroken, and then a few seconds later he finally nods and begins to walk towards the front door.

But then he stops midway and turns to look at me, his eyes narrowing. "I don't believe you." And after the last word exits his mouth, he quickly heads towards me, cups my face in his big soft warm hands and leans closer, his eyes shutting. "I don't believe that you don't feel the same way about me."

My brain is telling me to push him away but all of the muscles in my body are now being ruled by my heart. I enjoy feeling his minty breath slap the skin above my lips and the affection his hands have to offer.

"See?" He whispers, closing his eyes and connecting his forehead to mine. "You can't pull away."

But I have to.

"You want me, just as much as I want you."

But I can't.

"You are loving this close proximity, just like I'm loving finally being next to you."

I'm scared, Xander. Im scared!

"So what is it that you're so afraid of?" And with that, he connects his pink lips to mine with a tremendous passion.

And I allow myself to kiss him back, drowning in this moment with all my heart and soul.
