Morgan smiled as the person sang, the voice was familiar, when she finished posing, or thought she was, she looked over in the direction of the voice, beaming widely. Her eyes widened in shock, staring, Nate? Is... that really Nate?  She thought, not even noticing the rain that had begun to fall. She held her breath wondering if she was dreaming. Eventually she walked over her boots splashing in the forming puddles. 

His brown eyes were wide and his jaw dropped as she walked closer.

"Nate...?" she asked, wondering, hoping he would actually talk to him. Hoping he had overcome his fear of speaking to girls by now.

"Morgan... you... wow..." he murmured and she smiled, but one question was still on her mind.

"Are you gay?" she asked raising a brow.

That caught the ebony off guard making him trip as he had been leaning closer to her, "E-excuse me?" he asked in return before shaking his head, "No! No way!"

"Okay!" she grinned, "Sorry just... wanted to make sure because our last time we met at the dance, I was worried that maybe you were gay, but my friends had a large part to do with putting that thought in my mind."

"Oh god, no, Morgan, that is the opposite." he chuckled, smiling at her softly, it was so strange to hear him not stutter and fall over himself. "I just was horribly shy. I'm sorry I left you with that impression." he said frowning, those beautiful brown eyes she loved full of regret.

She chuckled, "Its okay." she shook her head a bit, splattering some water around her and laughed, "Want to maybe hang out? I might need to dry off though."

Nate smiled blushing a little, "Uh... yeah might be a good idea..." he grinned, "But first... Morgan, I have something I need  to tell you now."

She smiled, "Walk with me and tell me? Or should we stay here for a minute?"

The ebony gently took her hand, "Morgan? Just here for now. If we go in there it'll distract us from what I'm saying..." he took a deep breath. "Morgan... I love you and I have since I was sixteen. I was just too flustered to tell you every time..." He was looking at their joined hands, his warm brown eyes hesitantly looked up to see wide blue eyes, over two bright pink cheeks.
