He took my hand in his.
'I liked you since the first time I saw you, you know.' He told me, looking into my eyes.
'Me too.' I whispered.
A loud clap of thunder caught our attention.
I shivered. It was getting cold.
'Are you cold?' Tay asked.
'Yeah… a bit.'
'Here, take this.'
He started to take off his jacket.
'No! You keep it!'
But he didn't listen and draped it over my shoulders.
'Thanks.' I forgot my awkwardness and snuggled in closer to him.
He was a little surprised at first but quickly wrapped his arm around me.
Well, we were both pretty new at this kinda stuff.
Suddenly I felt him reach into his pocket.
'I have something to give you.' he mumbled, a little embarrassed.
'What?'
'Hang on.' He reached in and brought out a small box.
'Here. I bought this because it reminded me of you.'
He handed me a small box.
'Tay…….'
'Just open it.'
I opened it and inside lay a gold chain with a tiny heart attached. Running through the heart was a rainbow.
I let out a gasp.
'Tay! It's beautiful!'
'I saw it and I thought of you.' I noticed him blushing.
'Oh Tay! Thank you so much! But, but how did you know I love rainbows?'
He shrugged, helping me fasten it around my neck.
'I didn't. I just pictured you as one. In my life. A rainbow.'
I felt like crying.
I couldn't find the right words to explain I felt the same way.
'A rainbow of dreams.' I murmured.
'Yeah.'
He put his arms tightly around me and hugged me.
Then he said,
'Peta?'
I looked up.
'Yes Tay?'
'Oh, nothing.' He looked away, embarrassed.
'No, what?'
'I just, no, it's stupid.'
'Tay, just tell me.'
'I know this is going to sound really weird and all but, well, I love you.'
I must have looked really shocked.
Tay loves me? Someone I'd met and become best friends with loves me? And he's Taylor Hanson as well?
