The following day when he met her again he couldn't resist her; when she touched him he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen which was both pleasant and peculiar for him. He couldn't take his eyes off her; the more he saw her the more he feared that his emotions for her were not normal and the comments were rather true.
Was he... Really in love with her?
When he was with her he felt like forgetting everything and just being with her, nuzzled in her company. His young heart was blossoming with a beautiful emotion. It was hard for him to accept this and till lunch, all of these worries were churning in his heart; the worst kind of feeling in the world was the one that is left unknown.
Ryan finally gave up denying everything; he liked her, he did like being with her and wanted to protect her all his love. He started to accept this fact and even if he had some doubts about it everything vanished into thin air when they had a heart-to-heart in her room.
When he saw her cry and sob about being lonely was when he realized how important was she to him; his heart, which won't even react to the sounds of gunshot and death, was aching when he saw her cry.
That was the very moment he accepted his emotions and vowed to himself- he was gonna be with her forever and never let her be lonely again. When he said she had him he meant it, he had already given his heart to her and was willing to give himself to her completely.
Ryan till today was only living for himself, with no dreams to achieve and no wish to fulfill he lives the life of a rock- with no purpose at all. But today, in her tear-filled eyes, he saw the true meaning of his breathing; he finally realized why he took form on this Earth- it was to love and cherish her.
Ryan's eyes which were lost in mellow fantasies slowly blinked to reality. Even though his face was as straight as possible his features were a little soft and tender than usual.
He said firmly, "I am gonna be with her forever." Jack kept his hands on his shoulders and asked, "Ryan, do you like her?" Ryan kept mum but the corner of his lips did curl up a bit as he turned away to face the other side. Jack sat there shocked unable to swallow the intel, his bro was in love already.
He pin-pointed, "But she is just a kid... She won't even understand what you are saying to her."
Ryan folded his hands and stated his mind, "I am not an idiot to confess it now and scare her away. I will be by her side and protect her silently until she gets to the age and understands it on her own. I will wait patiently for that day when she will be capable of reciprocating my feelings for her, I can't lose her."
