How was it that she liked him to the point of being scared he'd go and find another girl? He'd known they were interested in each other, but this level of interest was new to him. His expression was pretty much blank as he absorbed all of this. When she turned to him with that cute shy smile of hers, all he could do was smile. She was doing perfectly well at talking to him.
He didn't want to go off and find another girl, and he definitely didn't want to forget about her. "Nell, I already told you earlier that I won't go and find another girl." Which he had, though he didn't know what she remembered of that. "But for your sake, I'll repeat it again and ask one more question." He was sure she must have a headache, so he was going to keep this short and sweet. "I don't want to go and find someone else, I'm happy with who I've already found, and that brings me to my question; Will you be my girlfriend?" He'd been trying to pluck up the courage to ask that ALL summer.
Why does he look so confused? Reaching back in her memory she tried to remember EXACTLY what she had said. Some of the details were fuzzy but she reached for it anyway. Then she realized it....some of the things she had said had been said to Issac....NOT Edmund.
Double crap.
Well this was awkward. Though she had definitely said some odd things to Edmund the worse by far had been in front of Issac. Nell hadn't seen him since he had handed her off to Edmund. She shuddered to think what he was going to do or say when she saw him again. One thing was for sure, she owed him a great big hug and a thank you.
Edmund pulled her from her thoughts at that moment. She listened to what he had to say with a small smile. Man he was awesome. Maybe she was a little insecure but could you blame a girl?! He was gorgeous! Nell waved her hand absently to indicate that he could ask his question. She would answer any question he had as honestly as she could. Though she was sure.....
Wait. WHAT?
Her mouth dropped open and her blue eyes went wide. His words were playing over and over in her head like a broken record but it took several seconds for her brain to process them. Girlfriend?
His girlfriend?
Yes you idiot! He really did just ask you to be his girlfriend! Now shut your gaping mouth and say YES already!
Nell put her gaping fish routine to bed and answered with a huge smile.
"Yes. I will be your girlfriend."
