"Im feeling down so come feel me up."

"Guess what? You're so perfect"

""You're so beautiful, it's distracting me."

Believe it or not these words didn't come out of my mouth. Heath appeared out of no where tonight, I received a text from this dummy saying to look out the window and there he was.

He's drunk of course. That's why he's being so energetic.

"Where did you get all those pick up lines from? I don't remember you ever saying any of them to me." I ask, joking as I sat on the edge of my bed.

It was late at night so I had to sneak Heath in here without dad knowing. But Heaths being a bit loud so I have to find something to shut him up really quick.

"The internet. You can find anything on there." He lets out a faint hiccup as he pats his chest.

"No way, I didn't know that." I spoke sarcastically. His eyes traveled on every wall in my room.

It was a bit more empty since the last time he was here since I was packing my things to move into his house. Apparently the plan was to move in a couple days ago but we decided to have some time away.

"I missed you. Like a lot." He sighs when he admits it. He leans towards me and rests his forehead against mine.

"I missed you a lot too. It's not the same without you." I smile as he starts putting force into his head, pushing his head against mine.

"It better not be." He backs away and returns to his standing stamina.

He goes silent for a few seconds, looking around with a confused look on his face.

"I think I drank a lot." He lets out another hiccup before burping, loudly.

"Ew." I cringe at the sound. And he didn't even say excuse me.

"I want to show you something I got." He smiles to himself as he moves to remove his shirt.

"Wait before you do, is it PG? Cause my dad's literally in the next-"

"You'll like it and if you don't too bad." He shrugs and continues to take off his shirt.

"Ok? What am I looking at?-" My eyes widen as I see the last thing I expected.

"Heath Benjamin Jackson. You did not just get my name tattooed on you!" I'm flattered really but also like what the heck. That's permanent.

"I'm drunk, you can't yell at me." He whines but that's just a fat lie. He's not that drunk.

You could definitely notice it because nothing else was tatted onto his chest except now, me. How romantic.

Above his left peck was my name Thalia Blaine. He must be crazy whipped. Or just crazy.

He better pray that we get married because what if we break up? Then he'd just randomly have my name on his chest and his next girlfriend would have to see it all the time. I like the sound of that, I practically marked him.

"You forgot my last name." I point my finger at him and get a closer look.

"It can always change, I don't fuckin know." He says and I back away, squinting my eyes.

"What do you mean by that?" I squint my eyes in confusion. He's not about to get down on one knee, is he?

"You're my favorite person. Your voice is my favorite sound." He gets all awkward after that.

"Thanks bro. You're pretty cool too." I punch him lightly on the shoulder. He furrows his brows at that.

He looks away for a second, the room falling silent as he hesitates to say something. My eyes for some weird reason were on his bare chest. Apparently that was the only other interesting thing here right now.

"I'm in love with you, Thalia." He says quietly but with the clearest tone he's ever had. The sudden drunken state he was in seemed to go away because he looked sobered up just by that sentence.

"I want to scream right now." I slap my hand against my mouth to refrain from screaming right now.

"One moment." I hold up a finger and dig my face into my pillow, screaming into it. Life is good.

"I'm in love with you, Heath." I tell him with a big giant smile and he immediately looks away.

"You're blushing!" I shout but quickly remember to lower my tone.

"I don't blush." He disagrees but the pink on his cheeks proved otherwise.

"I know you don't, which is why I can tell that you are right now." I poke his cheek making him face me.

"Who cares." He turns his head again, trying to hide his blush.

"You're in love with me. Can you believe it? Is this how that feels? I feel like I'm high again because I'm just as happy as I was then." I shake Heaths shoulders as I shake in excitement.

He kisses my cheek before moving around the other side of my bed and laying on the left side. His legs reach the end of the bed as he rests his head on the headboard. I position myself to sit next to him.

"How aren't you bouncing off the walls? I have never been happier. I feel like I want to call everyone and tell them." I still have the urge to just scream in joy but I don't want to wake up the whole neighborhood.

"I am happy. You just get so happy over anything. Like a small ass squirrel." He crosses his arms and chuckles at the thought.

"That's not- okay maybe it's true" I acknowledge and rest my head on his shoulder. I wrap both my arms around his arm as I cuddle into him.

"So, tell me. What have you done in the last few days without me?" I close my eyes, ready to listen to him.

"I got slurpee's." He tells me and I'm kinda jealous because slurpee's are our thing, that we do together.

"Have you talked to Duke yet?" I raise my head to look at him but he just shakes his head no.

"I think you should. Talk things through, y'know?" He nods but I don't think he will do it himself.

I've talked to Duke over the phone a few days after everything went down, he told me he wasn't angry anymore just hurt by Heaths actions. I felt for Duke because he was always so positive but hearing him talk about how hurt he was feeling even made me get in my feelings.

"I will." I think he was trying to convince himself more than me.

"Want to know what I did?" I sit up and tuck my hair behind my ears to make it more noticeable.

"You pierced your ears." He quickly said as his eyes went to my ears.

"That was fast. How did you know so quickly?" I crawl back over to the spot I was in.

"I know everything." He says cockily with a slight smirk on his face. He had put on his shirt a couple of minutes ago, unfortunately.

I like abs. I want abs.

"That's cool but creepy." I furrow my brows. I cross my legs together as I lay my head on my pillow instead of on Heath.

"Oh yeah, if people start talking about how adorable our love story is it's because I may or may not have told people we were childhood friends and that's how we met." I bit my lower lip as he narrows his eyes at me.

"Why?" He asks and there's a perfectly reasonable explanation.

"Because I can't just tell people we met in an alley. Thats weird and it makes it sound shady. Like we were selling drugs or something." I shrug my shoulders.

"Although that would have been cool too." I tap a finger on my chin.

"I fired Zoe." He told me and internally I cheer in joy.

"Oh, no. Why?" I pretend to be upset by that but I can't even pretend to be upset. No offense but I didn't like her too much. She was just too judgy.

"Because she needed to go." He says exactly what I was hoping to hear. Plus I don't think she likes me too much.

I huddle into him again and shut my eyes. I let out a yawn as I get the feeling of intense fatigue.

"Stay the night. I want to sleep with you, I missed you." I lay on his chest and he doesn't move.

"Thalia, I can barely breath." He spoke in a calm tone and I just noticed how stiff he was.

"Oops. Sorry." I loosen my grip on him, realizing how tightly I was squeezing him.

He gets himself comfortable too, nuzzling his head into my neck and wraps his own arms around me. I open one eye to see him sleeping, I think.

"You wanna be the little spoon now?" I ask, batting my lashes.

" no." He mumbles, still with closed eyes. Loser.

"Okay." I chuckle and relax into him. Before I go to sleep I had to do one more thing.

"Love you." I tell him and kiss the tip of his nose. He remains quiet and with closed his eyes.

I stay awake, waiting to see if he would say anything back. He opens one eye but catches me looking at him.

"Love you too." He mumbles and then goes back to closing both eyes. When I'm pleased with his response I continue to fall asleep.

With a smile on my face even in my sleep.
