I Love You

o-o-o

I was an only child. I was the sole heir to the world's most prestigious family, the Bei Fongs. Anything I wanted would be handed to me on a diamond encrusted platter.

I was a princess who was locked away in my room; hidden away from the cruel world outside. My freedom was stripped away from me. So it would be that I had no friends; no one I could lean on for support. For a long time, I thought that was fine.

Humans were cruel heartless creatures who just wanted her for the prestige she could bestow upon them. They just wanted to be 'friends' with the Bei Fong family. It sickened me. I loathed them all. It would have eventually driven me insane.

Before that could happen, my entire life was changed with the appearance of one person. That one person showed me a part of the world which I never knew.

He showed me that not all humans were greedy hypocrites. He showed me that people could care for another without having any ulterior motives. He showed me the goodness of the human heart.

The person who changed my life, though, was one boy. Although, he'd probably get mad if I called him a boy, so I'll call him a man instead.

I can't say that he wasn't special, but from the moment we met I could tell there was something strange about him. His nonsensical babbling made me think that he was just an annoying brat though. But as I got to know him, I began to notice that he was a very caring young man who simply wanted to be my friend.

He wasn't some older gentleman who knew the inner workings of a woman. He was an ordinary boy with ordinary dreams and wants. He was no Romeo that was for sure.

Despite his shortcomings, he had this certain aura around him that made him hard to be hated.

It amazed me time and time again that a boy my age saved me from a life of suffering and loneliness.

He is…

"Zzzzzz…." His snoring was so silent.

"You sure make goofy faces when you're asleep." I smiled, caressing his peaceful face ever so softly.

This guy…

"Aang, you need to wake up soon."

It all started with the two of us as complete strangers and with the help of a strange turn of fate we became friends. That was mostly because I was curious about how a person could be so gullible and warmhearted. But now, he's my classmate in college.

He's also my fiancé.

He proposed to me a few years back out of the blue, with promises of making me the happiest woman in the world. I was already happy. He was just pushing his luck!

Thinking back I gave him a rough time after I denied his proposal in front of all our friends. But if Aang was one thing, he was persistent. He kept asking trying to make out of the way promises that he didn't need. He didn't understand that I was already content and didn't need anything other than him in my life.

It only took a year but he understood what I was silently trying to tell him. He proposed again and I said what any normal woman would.

"You're just legally making yourself my bitch for the rest of your life and you're okay with that?"

"Absolutely."

"Suit yourself, Twinkles. Fine, I'll agree."

He was so cute then - not that he's changed much though. Maybe a bit taller, more muscular and more mature about the way he goes about doing things but he is still the caring nerd I feel in love with.

Too bad my parents won't allow us to get married until we finish college. But that was barely a formality. We already lived like a married couple for years now. We were just going to make it official in a few months time.

"You should wake up soon."

"Zzz…"

"Wake up!" I shook him several times and he finally began to open his eyes.

"Murhh…?"

"It's morning, Twinkles. The birds are chirping and everything."

I felt like slapping him upside the head. He fell back asleep!

"I know its summer vacation and all but I won't let you make a slob of yourself!"

Wait…wait wait wait! Why was I the one doing this? Aang was the one trying to get me up early every single day of year! Why was I urging him to wake up when I'm the lazy one? He's rubbing off on me again!

"Mmmmm…" He opened his eyes just a crack, looking not at my face but what was below it.

"I see boobies…"

"Idiot!"

I hit him. Now that I thought about it, we were both naked. I noticed I had propped myself up on my elbows, completely exposing my chest - which had grown over the years (Take that Sugar Queen!). My hair was now completely down and flowed down my face in a curly mess. Last night, we…well…did a little bit of everything and fell asleep like this.

"If you don't get up, I won't let you touch these anymore. No more sex either."

"I'm awake! I'm awake!" He shot out of the bed onto the floor and did a few exercises to show just how awake he was.

"Put on some pants will you!" I blushed. I still couldn't get used to seeing that.

"Oh, sorry."

"Jeez."

Usually I was the excessively messy and casual one not him. He's shirts were always pressed and he always sorted his socks and underwear. He was a bit of a perfectionist. Maybe last night's session took more out of him than I thought.

"So what's the plan for today, Toph? Going to have another lazy day in your house?" He slipped on a pair of boxers and slithered back into the bed.

"Probably, I think I'm just going to sit around and play a little Modern Warfare 3." I tried to slip under the covers to reach for my game controller when I realized that it was on the centerpiece. I immediately gave up the gaming idea.

I think Aang noticed that too. "We've got some free time, huh?"

"Pretty much." I answered plopping my head against my pillow. Just then, from the corner of my eye I saw a paper hanging off the countertop.

"Aargh! My report! Help me with my report!" I panicked.

"Again?" He sighed. "It's summer break. We came back to the city for a reason you know."

"But…but…that professor has it out for me! He hates me!" He did. He was picking on me by giving me tons of 'extra-credit' reports!

"Of course he does. You chewed him out on the first day because he commented on the way you dressed."

"He totally deserved it! He was raping me with his eyes!"

"I know I know. So when's your report due?"

"Tonight at five o'clock."

"You should have said that sooner!" He quickly got out of the bed and cleared the centerpiece table. I got out and rushed beside him, pulling out my back pack.

At the time, I had completely forgotten that was stark naked. If I had, maybe I could have avoided what happened next.

"AHHH!" Aang groped me. Since I wasn't wearing anything, so his cold hands made direct contact. "Weren't we going to write my report now!"

Aang coughed leering at my assets. "Let's get a little recreation in before then…"

"Hey! Don't touch me there…!" I hated it when it was like this. Yeah, okay, not really. I loved it more than anything when he embraced me. I'm a girl and we have needs to be embraced by our loved ones, okay? Sue me. "We already did it like rabbits yesterday, though…!"

"That's the power of love."

"I hate you…"

He hugged me tightly, kissing my cheek softly. He was so warm. I felt like I could just let go of all my worries and fly away.

"I love you too." He chuckled.

"I'd be pissed if you didn't."

"But of course." He held me in his long strong arms for what felt like hours. We hugged, we touched, and we kissed countless times. I had never been happier in my life. Who would have thought it would only take one boy to show me so much joy?

And then…

"Don't you dare let me go…" Those were my true, heartfelt words.

"I love you Aang."
