"C-could you repeat that please?" I asked him and he gave me a wide grin that reveals his cute dimples

Cloud kissed my forehead "I" then slowly lower his head

Then kissed the tip of my nose "Love"

Finally, he kissed me on my lips "You"

He kissed me again but this time deeper, my arms went to wrap around his neck to pull me more closer to him. His big warm hands went to my back caressed it, he groaned when I bit his bottom lip

I was returning his kiss and I can tell that he was happy I did from how much he didn't want to let go of me

The kiss could only last so long because we needed air, when Cloud pulled away we both were gasping for air

"Are you sure this is your first time kissing?" He asked breathlessly as our foreheads were leaning against each other

"You stole my first kiss you dumbass" I replied before grabbing a fistful of his collar and pulling him down to kiss me again

Might as well make the most of it since we were alone

Between kisses, I managed to say "I love you Cloud" I can feel him smile while his lips were on mine

I was gently backed up into a tree and wrapped my legs around him with his hands on my thigh holding me "You've lost weight" he said while kissing my neck

"Being chased by a dog and working after school has taken most of my energy" I said while I tangle my fingers in his hair trying to suppress the sound that was trying to come out of my throat

I pulled Cloud's head away from my neck "I think we should stop here before we might do the unthinkable in the field"

He smirked at me, we were so close that our noses touched "Relax I'm not gonna take you here, I'll wait until you're ready and until we find a comfortable place to do it" he winked at me then kissed my temple, slowly he put me down until I can feel my feet touch the ground

This dirty-minded guy

He intertwined his fingers as we held hands "Did I mention you look breathtaking when you stepped up on that stage and play the piano?" Cloud said then kissed the back of my hand

He is showering me with kisses right now, not that I'm complaining

"No, not really, I just think I look great today" I smile up at him

"Stop being too humble, you caught all the men's eyes there and I almost revealed myself" his eyes darken while gazing at me

He is emitting too much possessive energy

I giggled then kissed his cheek "Relax I didn't even manage to see them because the spotlight was too bright that it almost blinded me"

Cloud pulls me into a hug before I can feel his weight going down on me

Oh My God, he fainted!

I gently put Cloud down on the ground with his head resting on my lap

"GUYS, HELP!" I yelled out for help loudly over and over until I can see Nick and Nikki running toward us along with the rest of my friends tailing behind them

Nick saw Cloud unconscious on the ground "Fuck" he said

Will kneeled beside me to check his pulse "Luckily he is breathing fine, he is just sleeping"

Everybody including me gave out a sigh of relief

I turned to Nikki "What happened to him?"

"He hasn't been sleeping for 3 days and only slept for 1 hour today" Alice explained to me

The guys together helped bring Cloud inside the van to get him to his hotel room, while they were running in front of us, me and Jane we're walking behind

Her face was sad but she tried to hide it with a small smile

"Jane" I called out to her and we both stopped walking

"Hm?"

"I'm sorry"

I knew how much she liked Cloud but only to find out he loves me

She chuckled "I knew from the start that you guys were too close for being frenemies, I took the hint early, and luckily I found someone I can have a crush on" her eyes turned to Max who was running alongside Nick accompanying them to bring Cloud to the van

"I change crushes frequently but Cloud just so happens to be my crush far longer than any guy I liked" she hooked her arm around me

"At first I hated you but then I realized I am just going to ruin something you guys worked so hard to build for each other so I stepped back"

Jane, you're a good best friend too good to be true

I jumped and gave her a bear hug "Thank you, Jane"

She laughed "Alright, alright, just don't forget to invite me to your future wedding. I also want to be a bridesmaid too" she demanded to me then winked knowing that she was teasing me and of course, I obliged

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sophia and I had a little talk while the guys help Cloud bring him to the hotel room. We were in front of the hotel and stepped in the rotating glass doors

"It's great to have you back Penelope" she told me excitedly, I nodded to her

Daisy and Alice said to me they were going somewhere for a moment, Sophia pulled something out of her expensive bag and handed it to me. It was the sketchbook that Cloud tried to hide from me

"I'm sure he wanted to show you this now but you can take a look at it after we arrive in his hotel room" she said before we hopped into the elevator

The hallways that lead to his room was long and it took a while before we reached his door and opened it with the room keys, Will puts Cloud down on his bed and stretched "Damn he is heavy"

"Well, that guy is made about of pure muscle what do you expect?" Alice said to Will as she entered the room and handed me a bag that has my clothes in it to change in

Soon, all of my friends including Sophia left the room to enjoy the festival. I closed the door and headed to the bathroom to change my clothes

I put on a fitted light blue t-shirt and white sweatpants before I stepped out of the bathroom while folding my dress then put it in the bag, the bag was now laid on top of the table next to the sketchbook that Sophia handed to me

Cloud was sound asleep on the bed and I helped remove his shoes so he could sleep well, I grabbed the sketchbook on the table before gently sitting beside sleeping Cloud on the bed

I pulled out the duvet and covered the both of us with me leaning back at the headboard ready to open the sketchbook, he shuffled a bit on the bed before his hand touched my hand and realized I was here with him

Cloud opened his eyes a little to take a peek at me before he wiggles under the duvet to hug me by the waist and rested his head on my lap, he then fall back asleep quickly while snoring softly

A smile crept up at my face as I rake my fingers through his hair

God, I love him

My eyes went to the sketchbook in my hand then I opened it to see the first page saying: "Sketches of Angel"

My heart skipped a beat when I realized that the entire sketchbook was filled with drawings of me and only me, everything finally made sense

The way he would always look at me intensely and sometimes would memorize every inch of my face, it was so he could draw me

His drawing was nearly life-like and I was almost mistaken that I am looking at the mirror if it weren't for the pencil marks, some of the drawings have a date with his signature. There were only a few that have simple notes like

"She likes sunflowers"

"Favorite animal is a bunny, take note must get one!"

"Angel hates being alone, she gets scared easily"

All the notes made my heart melt, he jotted down everything that I like and dislike from the time we spent together growing up and in the penthouse

My eyes went to Cloud's head sleeping on my lap, I leaned and kissed him on the lips while my hand went to his chest to feel his heartbeat "Thank you" I whisper to him after the kiss
