he's more than just a friend

...Nancy's POV ...

It has been a month since we met. We became so close, we go out a lot, and I've got to meet his family and friends. He met mine too. It's not something great actually, my family is complicated. Today, I'll go to his house for a sleepover, and we agreed on the phone that I'm gonna trauma dump about my family.

...* Later that day *...

We prepared some snacks to eat while watching a movie. As we sat on the couch, the movie playing softly in the background, I found myself stealing glances at him. The way his eyes sparkled when he laughed, how his smile lit up his entire face. It was mesmerizing. His laugh was infectious, a perfect melody that made my heart race. Every little detail, from the curve of his lips to the warmth in his gaze, seemed effortlessly beautiful. I couldn't help but feel a mix of admiration and nervous excitement, hoping he didn't notice me staring.

He caught me looking at him, so he stopped the movie and told me he's sorry for making me wait too long. He thought i was waiting for him to finish the movie so i can talk about my life, so i started telling him everything.

"Well, as you already know, my father is the uncle of Mark Burton, owner of' Velori ', and his current wife isn't my mother, he was forced to marry her. My actual mother was a maid in our house. When she got pregnant, they couldn't tell people that David Burton, the uncle of Mark who owns the biggest clothing brand in Italy is having a child with their maid, so my father had to get married, so it'll look like I'm her daughter, but the person he married is a devil. She hates me with all her heart."

His eyes became teary, and he looked like he doesn't know how to react to this, and i totally understand. He just suddenly hugged me, it was the first time i was this close to him. For a moment, the world seemed to stop. I could feel the steady beat of his heart, and his scent enveloped me like a comforting blanket. My cheeks flushed, and I hoped he couldn't feel the rapid thumping of my heart against his chest. His embrace was everything I had imagined. Safe, tender, and full of love.

"I don't know what to say Nancy. This is heartbreaking, you don't deserve this at all. But don't worry, I've got your back, you can rely on me, I'll always be here for you, and I'll listen to everything you'd want to talk about. You really have a special place in my heart Nancy, and I'm not letting you go through such stuff, I'll try my best in helping you."

I felt safe. For the first time in my life, I felt like i can trust someone, and i felt happy. I want him to be with me all the time. I want him to take care of me and love me as much as i do. Should i confess, or should i just keep this love inside my heart, so that i don't ruin whatever bond within this month?
