Struggle

                                    

                                          
I stare into his eyes as my lips start to quiver. I merely just met him but I feel like he's knocking down all the walls that I tried so hard to build back up. This boy is perfect. And I fully trusted the words that I uttered out of my mouth next.
                          
"I.........I think I'm falling in love with you" I say as I touch his pink lips
                          
"I think so too". Christopher says as he pulls me into another kiss
                          
His pink soft lips press against mine as a playful smile dances on his lips. 
                          
When we pull away from the kiss we both swim towards our picnic setup. Once there I start to wring out the water in my hair in the grass. 
                          
From my peripheral, I see Christopher approach me. 
                          
" Hey" he says smiling
                          
"Hello yourself"
                          
"I just wanted to ask..............where does this leave us? I don't want it to be awkward after this and I want to know where I stand with you. I just don't wanna put us in a uncomfortable position" Christopher says as he shifts around nervously
                          
Smiling sweetly to myself, " And what would you like for us to be?' 
                          
"We don't have to have a label. But can we be exclusive?" Christopher pleads
