[They were both dealing with a roller coaster of emotions. Rey felt tears gathering in the corners of her eyes as Diego tugged her closer. He laced his fingers with hers, showing her he wasn't going anywhere. She bowed her head, trying to will her tears away, but they only slipped down her face after he kissed her forehead. Sweet, tender moments she never had in her younger days. Someone telling her she mattered and meant it.
Rey lifted her head to look at Diego again, catching the smirk on his face. She felt relieved that he understood where she was coming from, and felt like a mess because of her tears. Her heart skipped a beat hearing he liked her--and that moment, her brain registered the fact he called her his girlfriend.]
Okay. [A small squeeze of Diego's hand and she shifted against to hug him. She pressed her forehead against his chest, taking in one deep breath and then another to steady herself.]
You know...I didn't know I was your girlfriend. [Rey murmured against Diego's chest, pulling back slightly with a weak smile.] We haven't really kissed since our first date, so I wasn't sure if you wanted to take things slow.
[Was there a blush on her face? Yes, but at least she wasn't upset or fretting about her past now--just her present...and maybe her future.]
Don't get me wrong, I like the kisses you've given me. I was...unsure of how to ask for an actual kiss. From you.
