Looking at her and watching her every more with a combination of utmost anticipation, excitement and worry, the boy almost stopped breathing until that look appeared on her face which gave him the impression that she, at least, did not hate it. Well...to be exactly it looked like she liked it but he was never going to be sure unless she voiced the idea herself. Reason why? He did not know. The only thing he knew was that he wanted her to like it and accept it so badly. It meant a lot to him. She meant a lot to him. And he wanted to express that. He wanted her to know that.
Then his happiest and warmest smile ever formed itself on his face when she agreed that it looked like a strawberry and actually said that it was beautiful. Now he could let this breath he had been holding in out and totally relieve. She did really like it! She did! ''Mum used to think the same way as well. It was her favourite.'' and she was also among those people that had confirmed it being priceless. But he was not going to mention that to her fearing she would not accept it then. And it was a fact that he valued his love more than all the money combined in the world.
Still smiling, his expression turned into a more surprised one when she lifted up her hair some revealing the back of her...beautiful neck. What was that? The sight took his mind away so far that it did not occur to him why she had done that until she asked him if he could put it on for her.
Ahem...
''Sure...'' he said quickly looking back at the necklace when he was finally able to take his eyes away from her neck. Then taking a step forward, he moved to her back and placed the jewellery around her neck finally dealing with its little silver clip. And when he was done he smiled again, at the sight this time, just before hugging her from her back and burying his face in her hair as he always liked to do. He wanted to thank her for accepting it. Thank for it. Yet only those three words came out of his mouth:
''I love you.''
Feeling the cool chain against her neck, she couldn't help the small smile to grow a little as she took a deep breath, letting it out quietly. Glancing down, she let one hand out of her hair to hold up the shiny red gemstone so she could see it better. The contrast between it and the necklace with the
green gemstone she usually wore as well as her Slytherin uniform was almost startling, yet it was perfect in her opinion.
Glancing to the side as if to try and see Josh when he hugged her after placing the red necklace around her neck, she tucked the dark emerald green necklace behind her school shirt before hugging him back; or at least hugging his arms since she wasn't facing him.
Hmmm.
"I love you too, Josh." she murmured, leaning against him for a moment to just take in his warmth before turning around in his arms to face him, staring into his eyes.
"I really do." She wanted him to
really know that. To remember it and never forget it.
