Chapter 58 : I did not expect this at all.

**********************************************

"Aaron." I yell as I see Aaron getting into his car that was parked across the street from the place we were at, and follow him instantly.

Aaron sees me and doesn't make a move to drive his car, as I reach him and get into the passenger seat.

"What's wrong?" I said as soon as I settled down, as I tried to catch my breath. I really need to start working out.

"Listen Ellie," Aaron said, finally turning to me, "I've been meaning to tell you this but not now, it's too early, we'd just kissed like two days ago."

"Tell me what?" I asked curiously.

Aaron sighed but gave me no answer.

"Tell me Aaron, you know you can tell me anything." I said, a serious expression plastered on my face.

Aaron just shook his head, "Okay, listen Ellie." Aaron began and I listened intently.

"Remember the day that Ethan invited you to sit with us at lunch, and claimed it's because you've both spoken in class?"

I instantly remembered that day from about four months ago. Looking back at it now, even though I hadn't realized just how much time has passed, I still feel as though I've known Aaron, the boys, and Laurel my entire life.

I nodded my head, urging Aaron to continue and he did, "Well the truth is, I asked him to find a way to call you over and be friends with you, because I had a crush on you."

I widened my eyes in shock, not believing what I was hearing. I did not expect this at all.

"Since I met you in the car?" Was the only thing I was able to say.

"No. I've had a crush on you for two years Oreo, you caught my eye way back in sophomore year, and even when I dated other girls, you were always in the back of my head, but I knew you were in a relationship so I backed off." Aaron explained, his voice sounding chill, very opposite to how I was feeling.

I could not believe this. For two years, I had Aaron's attention.

Stupid me thought he never noticed me until I got in his car by accident.

"I don't know what to say." I whispered, looking away from Aaron's intense gaze.

"That day when you entered my car, I was going crazy, I was so happy and nervous, but I acted like I didn't know who you are." Aaron said and then chuckled bitterly afterwards, "Which was stupid, I don't know why I thought I could hide my feeling towards you."

I had just noticed the little droplets of rain hitting the front windshield and I watched them as I spoke, "But why did you ask me if I were in a relationship before if you'd known the answer already?"

"I wanted to make sure you're single, and I wanted to get to know you and know everything about you." Aaron answered and I glanced at his eyes, just as the rain poured down faster.

"I can't believe you've had a crush on me for two years and I didn't know." I chuckled in bewilderment.

"I don't have a crush on you anymore." Aaron said, surprising me into complete silence.

Then why did you kiss me, I wanted to say.

I finally spoke after a couple of moments, "You don't?" I whispered, gazing down, avoiding eye contact.

"No Ellie, I'm in love with you." Aaron said and my breath got caught in my throat as I stared back at Aaron's eyes, in complete trance.

Aaron just confessed his love for me. The way the sentence rolled off his mouth mixed with the sound of rain brought utter serenity to my soul.

"I love you too." I whispered, tears welling in my eyes.

Nothing was going to stop the amount of emotions swirling inside of me.

"You-" Aaron opened his mouth in shock, "you love me?"

"Ofcourse I do." I reply, a tear rolling down my cheek. I couldn't help it. I was feeling too much.

Aaron laughed, a beautiful genuine laugh, the sound of it capturing my heart.

"I know you the love the rain, so come on." Aaron said, still grinning and I laughed, as we both exited the car, and immediately were soaked up in the rain.

"Come here." Aaron opened his arms for me and I quickly jumped in them, feeling an amount of love I had never felt before towards anything or anyone.

"You're everything to me, Ellie, I want to promise you the world, if you let me." Aaron said, as he pulled my face gently away from his chest and stared into my eyes intensely like he always does.

I nodded my head, tears rolling down my eyes, mixing with the rain.

"You want to make this official?" I didn't know where I got the courage to say that from, but it felt like that's what Aaron was hinting at, and besides, I couldn't spend any more minutes away from Aaron.

"Yes, I want to protect you, and give you the world. I promise you Ellie, I will always protect you." Aaron said, and I gasped when I saw his eyes becoming glossy. We're just an emotional mess.

"I promise I will be everything to you, you heal me everyday Ellie, I don't love anyone more than you." Aaron said, and the tears in his eyes made me lose my mind. His eyes are so honest.

How is it possible to love someone this much? I never in my life thought I would find love so early, so young. But Aaron was here, and I know he's the love of my life, I know that I just can't call anyone else that phrase and I hope I never will. No one is as pure as Aaron. No one is like Aaron in any aspect.

Aaron came into my life so suddenly, so surprisingly, at a time when I was trying to learn how to love myself, and still am. He turned my world upside down, he made me feel special countless times, and he stood by my side without me asking him to.

Standing here under the rain together, I finally realized how consumed we both were by each other. Crying out of love never seemed like an option, but Aaron has the power of controlling emotions.

Being with him brings me peace. It guarantees me safety, and the way he's speaking so sincerely, the tears in his eyes and everything he has done for me proves to me how much he really loves me, and I feel so damn lucky.

"I can never thank you for everything you've done for me so far Aaron, I just hope I can love you everyday the way you deserve, because you deserve the world." I said to Aaron, our tears still rolling down our chins, and as we stood there, it seemed as though time stopped, and it was just us in the world.

"You are my world, Oreo." Aaron replied and I smiled, my heart swelling. Fireworks were erupting in every inch of my insides, I felt like I'm floating alone with Aaron and his eyes.

"I don't wanna ruin the moment, but something's in my eye." I laughed, my tears finally stopping as I blinked furiously.

Aaron laughed too, "Be careful, it's an eyelash." He said as he rubbed the eyelash that was under my eyes, but jabbing the inside of my eye continuously.

Aaron and I both said nothing as he managed to get the eyelash away from my face. But then he grabbed the right side of my neck, pulled me closer by my waist and kissed me.

I was instantly allured to the kiss, closing my eyes as I took in Aaron's touch and kiss under the rain.

Just how lucky did I have to get to kiss the one person I love under the rain? It all feels like a dream come true.

I placed my hands on Aaron's chest, and we pulled away to catch our breaths, smile at each other, and then went in for another deeper kiss.

The kiss started out sweet and slow, but now it built up into a passionate kiss as I placed my arms around Aaron's neck and allowed him access to slip his tongue inside my mouth.

Oh my god! I am making out with a Greek god who also just became my boyfriend, under the rain!

Aaron and I finished making out and we pulled away, grinning and chuckling, and constantly staring at each other.

"My beautiful girlfriend is going to catch a cold if we don't get back to the car now." Aaron said and I laughed, squealing on the inside upon hearing him call me his girlfriend.

Aaron opened the passenger side door for me and I thanked him cheekily as he climbed to the car, our clothes dripping water everywhere in the car.

"Can you stay the night?" Aaron asked me and I raised my brows.

"Your mom is probably resting-" I replied but Aaron cut me off.

"She's staying at her sister's house today with Mason, if you can convince my parents in law, that'd be great." Aaron grinned and I laughed at that.

"Moving things too fast boy, aren't you?" I replied.

"Who would miss marrying Ellie Rosell though?" Aaron said and I smiled to myself, blushing.

"So it's a yes?" Aaron continued and I nodded my head. I love spending nights with Aaron, especially if us being a thing means I can kiss him whenever I want.

"Great." Aaron smirked as he started the car.

As I was texting our group chat, informing everyone that everything is okay, but that Aaron and I are leaving, Aaron drove the car away and thankfully the rain was slowing down.

"Amazing makeout by the way." Aaron suddenly said making me whine and cover my eyes.

"Stooop."

"Don't be embarrassed, I love you." Aaron said and I had the urge to scream in happiness but thankfully was able to control myself.

"And I love you." I replied.
