"You... in love with... me?" I mumbled. My heart was racing so much, I swear I could see its shape beating into my t-shirt. I could not, for the love of God, believe what she just said.

"Yeah," she said, still blushing a little, "you heard me."

"If this is some kind of prank, I'm telling you, it's not very funny." Yeah, I mean, she must be pranking. Of course. There's just no way.

"Why would I play such a prank?" She honestly asked, as the color of her skin started turning back to normal.

"I mean... it's just... I can't believe it..." I struggled.

"Why not? Why wouldn't you believe it?" She asked.

"Girl like you... likes boy like me?" I pointed out, "In what world is that even possible."

"In this world," she said, "the real world."

"Is it really the real world or am I dreaming?" I once again doubted.

"Do you... like me too?" She started to blush all over again.

"If I like you?!" I shrieked, "I fucking love you, Evelyn."

As soon as I said that, she abruptly turned off her camera.

"Wha-- Why did you turn it off?" I worried.

"Because my face is getting ridiculous right now," she said and her muffled voice betrayed her hand covering her mouth, "I don't want you to see me."

"But I like ridiculous you," I remarked, "I love ridiculous you. Hell, it feels good to finally get it out of my chest!" I was shaking my hips on the chair, "I am ridiculously in love with you, Avsam."

"Oh my Gooooooood, I just can't believe it," she exclaimed, "why didn't you say anything?!"

"Because..." I hesitated a few seconds, "I didn't want to risk losing you."

"And what made you think that you'd lose me?" She asked.

"Hey, I told you. This is so out of this world for me right now, I can't even," I said.

"How could you miss the signs I was sending you," I heard her facepalming, "hooooow???"

"What signs?" I asked perplexed, "There were signs?"

"Ugh, hello?" She ironized, "how about me replying to you after, like, two seconds?"

"Well," I said, "I just thought you were a very sociable person. I mean, you were online most of the time. I assumed you did the same with others."

"Avsam," she said, "my sweet little Avsam... I was always online just for you. I was waiting for you."

"Oh, God." I pretended not to realize that I was moving away from my camera. I didn't want to turn it off, even though hers wasn't on. So I kind of disappeared from it to blush in my own privacy. "You gotta be fucking kidding me."

"So when I saw that you weren't on Facebook anymore," she said, "it was devastating, man. I know it might sound ridiculous..."

"Everything. Every single little thing about this is ridiculous." I pointed out, still very excited while hiding from the camera.

She chuckled secretly. "I know it might sound ridiculous, but when you disappeared from Facebook, I don't know... it kind of felt like there was no reason for me to stay there anymore."

"Oh, I promise you," I said, goosebumps crawling inside my stomach, "it doesn't sound ridiculous at all. To me, it's exactly like that, you know. You're literally the only person I chat with, right now. You're my whole social life. Usually this makes me very sad, but, in this moment, I couldn't care less. I feel like you're all I'll ever need in my life."

"Please, Avsam, you'll make me cry," she said.

"No, don't cry," I worried, "you've cried enough tears. The only thing I want for you from now on is to smile and be happy. Can you do that for me?"

"I can if I have you," she said.

I felt so overwhelmed, describing the feeling would be impossible. "You have me," I whispered as all I could hear was her trembling breath, "now would you turn the camera back on and allow me to look into those big beautiful blue eyes instead of nervously staring at myself?"

"You like my eyes?" She asked as she turned the camera back on. She looked like a happy puppy at that time.

"How could I not like your eyes?" I smirked, "Your eyes, somehow they make me feel nostalgic and overwhelmed. It's like looking at a relaxing sight of sea, but I hate the beach. Your eyes are a living paradox, they are going to be the death of me."

"Damn you, Peter Charming," she said.

"I want to kiss you," I said.

"You do?" She asked.

"I'm so tempted to smash my head into this screen right now, so I could come out of your screen and kiss you."

"I don't think that would work." She chuckled.

"If it did, I would've already done it about twenty minutes ago."

"Where did you leave that shy little boy I'm used to?" She asked.

"Oh yeah," I said, "I probably wouldn't be able to tell you these things face to face... so that's still me."

"You don't have to be shy with me," she said.

"I don't want to," I said, "but it's not up to me to decide when I'm shy and when I'm not. Right now, the only thing I'd like to do is show you my love. And I feel like just talking to a screen is not enough."

"I know what you mean," she said, "I do."

"Oh, man," I said, "I have a girlfriend."

She slightly blushed. "I've got to go now, talk to you later?"

"Damn right you will," I said and she put a shy smile on her face. Which was weird, for she was always the extrovert.

But her shy smile was contagious, so I smiled back at her. "I love you," I said in one breath.

"Love you too," she said with her hand covering her mouth, "bye."

I closed the laptop and I sighed, leaning backwards. And as I stared at the blank ceiling, I smiled like I hadn't smiled in a very long time.

I just stood there for some seconds. Flat on my back, staring into space. I didn't feel the need to do anything. Didn't need homework, didn't need friends. I had all I needed and finally it seemed like life was going my way.

When I finally got up, jumping out of the bed, I opened the door to get out of my room but I got startled when I found my mother standing right there behind it.

"Alright," she said with an annoyed voice, "who is it that you love now?"

***
Is it just me, or does it look like Peter just can't catch a break?

Well, that's what's been like for me too, in the past month. But now I'm back! I'm here!

And I hope YOU are too, Robbers! Please let me know, if you feel like it, in the comments and consider to VOTE the chapter if you liked it!

This has been "Friday with Charm" (wut), and I'll see you all next week!
