The little house on the beach Pt.2

“Carly I like you,” he said

I stared as my mouth opened and closed like a fish.

“W-what?” I asked

“I'm sorry, I- was I wrong? I thought maybe you might like me back, this is bad timing isn't it?” he said standing up and paced. I frowned.

“That's not true! I like you... I just didn't think you felt the same...” I said and tried standing up. My knees buckled and before I could hit the porch, James caught me.

“Woah... you okay?” he said and set me back down on the bench swing and sat down too.

“Yea I'm okay.” I said confused as to why my legs gave out on me.

“So you like me?” He asked slowly and I nodded.

“And I like you... what now?” he asked. I smiled as the light filtered in making it warmer.
