Confess to being in love with her
From Create Your Own Story
"Melanie," you say gently, trying to find the words to express what you feel. "I don't know how long I've loved you, but it's been a long time. I know we've got a wonderful friendship, but I constantly finding myself wanting to take it to the next level."
"Sex." She says plainly, folding her arms.
"No," you say. "Well, yes, but the rest. Being able to hold you. To share all sorts of intimate moments with you. Not just the sex."
"I think you're confused." she says.
"I'm totally not. I know what I want. I want you."
She stares at you for a moment, then shakes her head. "I don't think I feel the same. I don't know. I mean, I care about you, but I don't know how I feel, like that. I don't know. I can't imagine if something happened to you, or how I'd feel right now if you weren't with me. But...I don't know."
"Look," you say, smiling at her. That was more than she'd ever given you before. "We'll lie down and get some sleep, how about that? Just relax, and we can talk about it once you've figured it out." She nods.
You settle into the couch, and Melanie snuggles up against you. "I just need some time to think about it," she whispers, putting her head on your chest. "With the way everything is right now, I'm so scared I can barely sort anything else out."
"It's okay," you say, running your hand through her hair. "This is good enough for now."
You drift off to sleep, warm and quite cozy.
