Only If You Want To
Check out Matilda-Ann's story "The Unexpected Love"!!!

It was the day of my friend's wedding when I met him.
I was helping her get ready, and couldn't help but be proud of her. I almost cried to be honest. My friend Lindsey, was pretty and had a lovley personality and I....not so much. I had sort of a cold pressence to people I didn't know, so no one really approched me. After the wedding I coungradulated Lindsey and her wife, "You'll find love really soon, I promise!" Lindsey told me with a smile. It took me by surprise but I didn't mind it too much. I was walking through the park right next to the church, it had a cute little lake in it were there were kids playing and ducks swimming. That's when I heard someone running towards me. They ran right into me and knocked me onto the pavement. I opened my eyes to see that my right hand had scrapped the ground and was bleeding. I looked over to see a boy, also on the floor, being pecked to death by a duck. He had messy black hair and was wearing ripped jeans and a red flannel. As he was screaming for mercy I got up and sort of chucked the duck off him. He proped himself on his knees and look at me. He had big brown eyes that were sparkling almost.
"Hey your suit pants are fucked." he said pointing at my knees. He was still looking me in the eyes, I was probably as red as his flannel.
"Oh..uh thanks." I said blushing profusley and looking away. He got up and put his hand out for me to shake.
"I'm Kai." "Brandon." We shook hands and then he looked down at my bloodied hand. He didn't even say anything and motioned me to sit on the bench. I did, he took out a large bandaid from his pocket and gently put it on my palm. "I have to go to work now, I'll see you around!" he said running off. I had a sudden urge to go after him, but stayed put.
I got home and changed into my pajamies. I tried to sleep, I kept looking at the bandage. Kai was all I could think about. The next morning I got up and changed."You know what, my gay ass wants some iced coffee." I was wearing my black jeans and a blue t-shirt. I got to the small coffee shop and when I got up to the front that's when- "Hey Brandon, what can I get for you?" It was Kai. "Uhh hI, can I get some iced coffee please?" The weirdest thing was he didn't seem uncomfortable by my cronic bitch face. I got my coffee and sat down at a table so I could still see him. I noticed a note on my drink and it read "Come back at 5" Obviously I did cuz, cute boy who wouldn't? It was 5 and I walked in. Kai was wiping down the counter he saw me then quickly took of his apron, and hung it up. He walked towards me and took my hand. I thought I might die. "There's this cool spot at the lake I wanna show you." he said smiling. "Ok, take me there." Why do I trust him this much? I met him yesterday being mauled by a duck? We both walked to the park, his hand still holding mine. He stopped and looked out on the lake, I turned and saw the sun gleaming off the water and the sky was orange and pink. Kai layed down in the grass looking up at the clouds, I followed. We stayed for a while, "You know what's more beautiful than this?" "What?" He proped himself on his elbow so our faces met. "You." Before I knew it he had kissed my cheek. I sat up slightly and put my hand on the side of his face. We both leaned in and our lips met. As soon as we pulled away he asked "Same time tomorrow?" I agreed and gave him my number. We kept meeting for about a week. "So are we boyfriends?" I asked him during one of our meet ups. He looked at me with the same sparkling brown eyes as before. "Are you asking me out~?" he said with a sexy? tone or whatever. It was hot okay? "I mean only if you want to." "Yeah, I wanna be next to you like this forever."
A few months pass and he moved in with me, we were like best friends, who kissed eachother. We were laying in bed one day when he turned to me, still in his arms and asked, while pulling out something from his pocket,
"So are we husbands?"
Kai pulled out a ring.
"Are you asking me to marry you~?"
I could feel both of our hearts beating out of our chest.
"Only if you want to."
"Yeah, I wanna be next you like this forever."
