Halt! My Heart Just Stopped!

His palms are sweaty. A million thoughts still racing through his head. He never thought he'll have to do this now. Too soon? Too late? But no he couldn't just let her walk away. Not now, not ever. At least not without trying. He would have waited but circumstances aren't allowing it.

He mind is pacing, filled with 'what ifs' and 'maybes'. His heart weak. Its just been too long since he has did this. He had planned long before but his mind just keeps jumping through his scattered thoughts he just couldn't get the words out.

One deep breath. Then another. Then another.

He is collected now.

His mouth begins to move. He utters every question carefully as it lead up to what he really wanted to ask her. Then, he took one big leap and asked.

And he waited for a response. After what seemed like an eternity it came.

"Are you for real?"

The rest is a story for another time
