I love you

One summer night, July 3rd to be exact, we decided to have a little partay. This party of course resulted in a bit of a fight. Kyson, my ex, called me and Austin got mad so he took the phone and just went off on him. Kyson told him some silly stupid things and then Austin got mad at me ladeda. When he finally calmed down and sat down and talked to me I remember it clear as day what he said. He was so upset and said "Shaina, I'm in love with you, I LOVE you." It was the sweetest words I have ever heard. I just sat there and took it in. I didn't feel like I could say it back under these circumstances, but I wanted to so bad. The next night was the 4th of July. ALL day I went over what he said and wondered if it was just the alcohol that made those words come out. I spent the night that night and I remember laying there thinking 'How should I bring it up... what should I say.... how do I know if he meant it' So I finally worked up the nerve, after what seemed like hours & mentioned what he had said the previous night. He said "I remember what I said & I meant it" I had the biggest butterflies I have ever had in my life. I then layed there and pondered how the heck do I said it back. He finally asked me "Did you fall?" & I said "yes..." & he said "do you love me?" I said "yes.." but I SOO BADLY wanted to say the words. So I kissed him and whispered in his ear "I love you" & he looked at me and said "I love you too, so much." I literally had butterflies for at least a week. It's all I could think about. I was so in love with him & I knew at that moment he was the one I had been waiting for.
