I awkwardly stood in the middle of the room, not knowing what to say. There was a lot of things I planned to talk to Newt about earlier, but now that the time came, my mind went blank.
"Are you just goin to stand there?" Newt leaned off of the pillar, and walked forward. "What's on your mind." He tone and attitude changed.
What's on my mind? Everything you could possibly imagine. These past days have been hectic and stressful, it's only going to get harder. What if something goes wrong? What if I'm the problem? What if I lose Newt? What would happen then?
The thought of Newt not being in my life hurt. My chest ached in pain. How could I go on, knowing I lost the one person I cherish the most with every part of me?
"Lilah." Newt gently whispered, putting his hands on my arms. "What's wrong?-" He began.
But I cut him off. "In the maze-" I looked down at the floor and continued. "I thought I was going to die. I really thought that I would've never live to see daylight again."
"You're safe. You're safe, no one's going to hurt you, Lilah-"
I snapped my head up, looking Newt in the eyes. "Listen!" I interrupted, lowering my voice I spoke again. "I-I wasn't scared of dying- I was scared of losing you."
The blondes boy stared back with an unreadable expression on his face, I couldn't tell if he was happy, sad, upset, confused, the list could go on and on. He moved closer and I nervously bit the inside of my lip.
"I told Thomas to deliver a message to, you." I blurted. Newt froze, taken back by my sudden loudness. "What-What kind of message?" His eyebrows tensed and he dropped his hands at once.
"I'm sorry."
"For what? You didn't do anything wrong- You shouldn't be apologizing to me." He reassured, trying to remove the doubts and fear in my mind.
"I'm sorry for being a coward." I vaguely said to the confused boy.
He lightly laughed. "You're the bravest girl I know- The only girl I know. But that's doesn't matter, because you're so much stronger than you think."
"Not when it comes to you."
Newt opened his mouth to speak and I stopped him before I could change my mind and run away from this conversation.
My face turned warm and I knew my cheeks were a bright crimson color.
"I like you." I confessed. "I like you so much- Your smile; seeing your smile makes my day. Your laugh. Oh how I could never get tired of it. How thoughtful and caring you are- From the moment I came up the box, not once did I think otherwise."
I rambled, words just flew out my mouth. "The point is I like you and I don't expect you to like me back. Matter of fact you don't have to say anything- Honestly I just needed to tell you. I needed to tell you how I felt." My heart beat in my chest, at a fast rate. I felt nausea and unsure of myself.
Looking down at the floor again, I caught my breath, raising my chest noticeably.
Why isn't he saying anything?
Abruptly Newts hand grabbed my waist and pulled me closer. I bumped into his chest, feeling how fast his heart was beating like mine.
My head titled back and panicking gaze landed on Newts. His brown eye glistened, trailing down from my eyes and onto my lips. My chest raised taking in air and I held it, too afraid to move.
Our faces were just inches apart. One little movement and Newts lips would be on mine. Using the tip of my pointer finger, I gently touch his bottom lip.
Newts cheeks flushed a light pink.
With his left hand on my waist, the other hand lifted my chin- Titling my head back, Newt gently pulled. Time stopped and for a moment I forgot all my worries. Like nothing else matters in the world. We leaned in and our lips touched.
Wrapping my arms around Newts neck I eagerly pulled him closer, desperately melting into the kissing.
