3rd POV

The girl woke up from her nap and saw the person she adored the most lying beside her on the grass, under the comfortable shade of a red maple tree that shielded them from the scorching summer heat. It was a tranquil afternoon and all she wanted to do is to watch the older girl's chest slowly rise and fall in a steady rythm but the soft and luscious figure of the older girl's lips lulled her to inch closer and shorten the distance between them. Hovering her face above the older girl's, she took her time to study all the details of the girl's face that has already been scorched onto her memory. 

It was not entirely gravity that had pulled her in to lower her face to meet those same lips that she had been dreaming of kissing all these years, it was mostly attraction. When her lips met the older girl's warm ones, she felt time slow down as everything started to fade away; she didn't even notice the older girl's eye slowly fluttering open. The girl's kiss was only a quick peck but she felt like an entire eternity has passed before she pulled away. When she opened her eyes, she was stunned to see the most arresting dark orbs staring back at her. 

"What were you doing?" The owner of the black orbs asked calmly. She has always been a calm girl ever since she was young but even in this situation, she remained calm and collected. She couldn't say that she wasn't expecting something like this to happen either; deep inside her, she already knew that the younger girl harbors some feelings for her that is more than that of friendship.

Caught in the act of stealing a kiss from her best friend, the younger girl's eyes widened in shock as she realized how her stupid spur of the moment action had opened up a can of worms that she's still not ready to admit to anyone, especially to the object of her affection. "I..I.." She stuttered as she tried to make up any flimsy excuse but couldn't come up with one when the older girl is staring back at her so steadily. She knows she couldn't run away from what she's feeling anymore now that she has been caught red handed, so she finally decided to just come clean and confess her feelings. "I like you." She admitted but that didn't feel right in so she rephrased, "I like you a lot." She felt all the air being out of her as she waited for the older girl to say anything.

But the older girl just blinked in response for a moment too long. She knows how the other girl feels but she doesn't really know how to react once it would already be out in the
