You been in love with Ivan since freshman year of high school, but you had always been too scared to confess; until one day.

On Valentine’s Day, you had been walking on your college campus, you then heard a confession about to take place, of course, you couldn’t help but eavesdrop to see who the two people were. As you snuck behind a bush to se what was going on, your eyes widen. It was a girl, one you barely knew, confessing to Ivan. You had started to panic. You had been in love with Ivan for a long time. Without thinking, you jumped up from where you were hiding, and yelled, “Ivan!” As you did, Ivan and the girl looked at you, surprised to see you there. “I love you!” You thoughtlessly blurted out. Ivan’s eyes widened. The girl with him got upset and stormed away, Ivan just looked at you, in shock. He had always thought you were cute, but he never would have thought you had been in love with him. You had always just kept to yourself.

Since that day, Ivan had decided to give you a chance, after all, it’s not like it would ever become into a serious relationship, right?

It had been a couple months of you two dating, so much has changed. At first, he had more of “whatever” attitude, but as he began to get to know you more and more, he couldn’t help but be captivated by you. You were just so…mesmerizing, in his eyes. As more time passed, he had fallen in love with you.

One day, you two were on a picnic date, you were casually talking about how much you had loved painting and nature, as you were talking, you glanced at him, he was just staring at you. But not in a creepy way, he had so much love in his eyes when looking at you. There was no lust, just pure love.

“What?” You said, wondering why he was just looking at you

“Nothing. You’re just so beautiful..” he said, stroking a strand of your hair, smiling warmly
