Everything I Ask For

Hayley sat down next to me, “Sooo.... what’s your favorite flower?”
“Why?” I asked absent mindedly
“Just wondering” she said slyly
I frowned and looked at her, “Why Hayley?”
“Just wanted to know”
“People don’t just come out with things like that. What’s going on?” I demanded
“Well… I can’t tell you” she said, apologetically
“You can and you will” I narrowed my eyes
“Alex is planning something”
“Like what?” I asked, frowning
“I can’t tell you. It’s a secret” she told me. I narrowed my eyes again, “Hayley!”
“I can’t tell you!” she exclaimed
”Yes you can”
“No I can’t. I promised”
“I don’t care. What he doesn’t know won’t hurt him”
“No”
“Tell me or you don’t get to know my favorite flower” I said smugly.
She looked torn, “Aw that’s not fair”
“Yeah it is”
“Nu uh”
I laughed, “Immature. Now tell me”
“He’splanninganawesomelyromanticdate” She rushed
“What?” I frowned, “Speak slower”
“Nope. I said it and that’s all you’re getting”
I glared at her and for once she cowered, “Alex is planning an awesomely romantic date”
I smiled, “That wasn’t so hard was it?”
“Yeah it was. He’s gonna kill me.”
“Aw poor baby” I said sarcastically
“Shut up. Now what’s your favorite flower?”
“Yellow roses” I grinned, getting up and floating away. I heard her groan, “He’s gonna kill me”

“Okay so now you know basically half my plan” Alex groaned, sitting down on the sofa that was occupying the corner of our latest hotel room. We were currently in Huntington Beach, California
“Yeah” I smiled, putting my legs in his lap.
He rolled his eyes playfully and I grinned, “I love you too”
He looked over at me, “What?”
“What?” I frowned
“You said you loved me”
“Shit. Sorry” I bit my lip.
He laughed, “I’m not weirded out. I’m… unexplainable happiness”
I smiled, “Guess you were waiting for that for a while now, hey?”
“Yeah. I was hoping you’d say it” he nodded
I smiled again, “Aw Alex, you should know by now I love you”
“I do now” he looked at me.
It went quiet for a bit. It wasn’t an awkward silence. It was comfortable. Weirdly enough I wasn’t uncomfortable around him. It was…nice.
“Sooooo… tell me the rest of you plans?” I bit my lip, smiling nicely
He laughed, “Nice try. Nope”
“Aw why?”
“Cause it’s a surprise. You’ll have to wait until Wednesday”
“Aw but but but… that’s ages away” I crossed my arms.
He rolled his eyes and smiled, “That’s tomorrow. Not that far”
I poked his nose and he smiled again.
“I love that” I mumbled to myself
“Love what?” he asked, confused.
I giggled, “Your smile”
He laughed, “Okay?”
I shrugged, “I donno. It’s not normal”
“Thanks” he said, offended
“No” I laughed, “In a good way. It’s… I donno…” I trailed off. I bit my lip.
He nodded, “Lost for words? That’s a first”
“Mmm” I said, not wanting to tell him what I’m thinking. It’s a bad habit. I don’t like telling people what or how I feel.
He pushed me back and climbed on top of me, “C’mon. I can’t read minds”
I grinned, “Really? Just try”
I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him down.
“I think I might be psychic” he mumbled against my lips.
