Previously on Chapter 7

I shake my head as I start to have tons of questions in my head. Okay... stop overthinking and just let it flow. I let out a sigh and close my eyes. I let myself drift off to sleep.

-Sweet Moments-

Y/N P.O.V

I hear knocking sound on the door. The sound wakes me up from my deep slumber. I gently rub my eyes, trying to get rid of the sleepiness. I get up from the bed and make my way to the door.

I open it and jump back in surprise when something is moved in front of my face. I let out a sigh of relief when I realize it's a huge bouquet of f/f. I stare at it in confusion.

The bouquet moves to reveal Miles. "Good morning, Y/N..." he said. I smile softly at him. "Good morning, Miles" I said. He walks towards me and outstretch his arm, giving the bouquet for me.

"Oh, uh... thank you" I said. He smiles softly at me. I gently take the bouquet from him. I lift it closer to my face, taking a sniff. I let out a content hum at the sweet scent of f/f.

"How do you know I love this flower?" I asked. He just smiles at me. "I have my ways..." he said, coolly. I just giggle at his comment. He's really trying his best to win my heart. But I'm still not sure what I feel about him.

"What subject are we doing today?" He asked. "It's the weekend, Miles. You have free time" I said. He nods his head at what I said. "Alright... then, walk with me?" He said. I smile softly and nod my head. "Sure... let me put this in a vase real quick, okay?" I said. He smiles and nods his head. I turn around and enter my room. I place the bouquet inside the vase.

"Okay..." I said, walking towards Miles. He smiles and lift his hand for me to take. I stare at it for a few seconds, not knowing what to do. If I hold his hand. He'll be more hopeful that I might fall for him, when I don't know whether I will or not. But if I don't hold it, he'll be upset.

Plus it's rude to not accept people's kind gestures. But in the end, I place my hand on top of his. He smiles happily when I finally hold his hand. We turn around and start to walk, wherever he have in mind.

Miles takes me to the pond. We walk around the place hand in hand. His hand is warm... it makes me feel calm for some reason. Maybe there's actually a chance that I will actually catch feelings for him.

"This place is my sister's favorite spot in the whole household..." he said, after walking in silence. I turn to look at him and smiles. "Yeah... I can see why. It's beautiful here..." I said. He smiles softly at me. He lets go of my hand and slowly walk towards a bench and take a seat. He pat the spot next to him. I walk towards him and take a seat next to him.

"The air is so fresh here..." I said, inhaling the fresh air. "Sure is" Miles said, nodding his head. He turns to look at me. I turn to him. He stares into my eyes. He slowly leans in.

"We should take it slow, Miles..." I said, before his lips could touch mine. He lets out a sigh and nods his head. He slowly pulls away.

"Yeah... sorry. I should've ask first" he said. I shake my head. "No... I'm sorry. I just, I'm worried that I might hurt you, Miles. I'm still not sure how I feel about you. You give an effort with these kind gesture to prove to me that you feel something. But what if I failed... at falling for you? You will be hurt" I said. He shakes his head.

"It's okay, Y/N. I asked for a chance. I'm ready to accept the consequences. And if in the end, I can't win your heart... it's okay. At least I tried my best. What matters to me is that you're willing to give me a chance to prove myself to you" he said, smiling at me. I lean over and place a soft kiss on his cheek.

"Thank you, Miles... for loving me. Things have been hard for me. Especially since my mother's death. No one ever show me sincerity. Sh*t sorry... I probably ruin our time..." I said. He smiles softly at me. He place his hand on top of mine.

"It's okay. I'm glad that you're being open with me" he said. He place a soft kiss on my forehead. I look down at our hands. I turn my hand and entwine it with his.

I smile at Miles and turn to look forward. I scoot closer to his side, placing my head on his shoulder.

Miles's P.O.V

Y/N have her head on my shoulder. I feel a smile slowly forming on my face. I slowly lean my head on her head. I truly love her. I will do anything for her. Heck... I'd even kill anyone who dares to mess with her.

That boy at school would've already been dead in my hands, if it weren't for that stupid teacher. If that teacher isn't there that day. I will definitely kill him. He made fun of YN. My mind went back to the day I beat that guy.

Flashback

I'm walking down the hallway. I can hear people talking not far from where I was walking. I couldn't care less of what they're discussing. That was until I heard a name being mentioned. I stopped walking and stayed silent, silently listening to what they're talking about.

"Have you seen Y/N?" One of them said. "Yeah... she is pretty. I bet I can get her to be with me. I'm going to have fun with her and break her heart" another said. I can feel anger building up inside me. I let out a soft growl.

"Hey!" I said, approaching them. They turned their heads to look at me. "What?" That boy said. "How dare you talk about Y/N like that" I said. "What's in it for you anyway, huh? Are you her boyfriend?" He said.

"None of your business. Stay away from her" I said, glaring at him. "Who are you to tell me what to do, huh? I can do whatever I want with her, including... sleep with her. I bet she's going to squirm under my grip and ask for more..." he said, smirking stupidly.

The anger in me intensified after hearing what he said about the girl I've been in love with since the first day I saw her. Hearing how he talked dirty about the girl I love. I can no longer control myself. I swung my fist at him, punching him right on the face with all my strength. The impact cause him to fall over.

"What is wrong with you, huh?!" He yelled at me. I walk towards him and sit down on top of him. I grab a fistful of his shirt. "I'll never let you speak of her like that again, you hear me? One word... just ONE dirty word directed to her... I will make you suffer..." I hissed, glaring at him. He smirked and spat at me.

"Go and die with your stupid sl*t" he said. I growled angrily. I start blindly punching him, with all of my strength. I grabbed his head and slammed it on the ground.

End of Flashback

Y/N's sweet voice snaps me out of my thought, as she calls my name. I turn to look at her. She stares at me with a worried face.

Y/N P.O.V

Miles have been silence for a while. I pull away to look at him. I wince in pain when he suddenly grips my hand tightly. He have an angry look on his face, as if he just remembers something that upsets him.

"Miles... miles!" I said. He snaps out of his daze and turn to look at me. "What?" He said. "You're hurting me" I said, looking at his hand. His looks down and his eyes widened.

"I'm so sorry!" He said, instantly letting my hand go. I lift my hand and rub it, trying to ease the pain. I watch Miles panicking next to me. "I'm sorry, Y/N. I didn't know what came over me. P-Please f-forgive m-me. I didn't mean to, I swear. I was j-" he said. "Miles..." I said, cutting him off. He stops talking and stares at me.

"It's okay... I forgive you. But what are you thinking about?" I asked. He let out a sigh of relief and shake his head afterwards. "It's nothing. Don't worry about it. I just thought of something... that's all" he said.

I look at him worriedly. He smiles softly at me. He gently grab my hand that he gripped. He lift it to his lips and place a gentle kiss on the back of my hand. He let his lips linger there.

"Don't worry, 'Kay?" He said. I just nod my head, not wanting to press him any further because that would be invading his privacy. I should be focusing about my feelings instead. Do I feel the same way for Miles? Do I love him the same way he loves me?
