Klaus and Clarissa

Tears break through her eyes and I would do anything in order to wipe them away from her soft cheeks... "What? What are you doing?" She barely gets out through the sobs. "Did you really think I would say yes to him? Do you not have any faith or trust in me at all?" Those words hit me pretty deep. That wasn't the case at all. I didn't want her to think that way, it wasn't what all that ment! I stand there, letting her vent. I will let her speak until she is completely finished, then I will comfort her and tell her what really went on. She step closer towards me, standing on her tippy toes. She grabs my face in her hands and gently kisses my lips. She lets go and says, "Is the fact that I told you I liked you not enough? Klaus, I wouldn't do that to you." I close my eyes and nod my head, knowing she would never do anything to hurt me an any way. I hope she knows that that's the way I feel about her too. I hear foot steps, I open my eyes and she was walking away. I catch up to her in 3 long strides and grab her waist to twist her around so she's staring straight at me. "Clarissa. It wasn't that I didn't trust you. I trust you with my life, and I hope you realize that. It's just that creep. I couldn't stand him degrading you like that! And I admit... Jealousy may have got the best of me. But the way he pushed you... I just couldn't handle that. I care for you. I care for you too much it seems, I can't handle you getting hurt in any way! I'm just lucky I didn't kill him right there and then because I wish I could have. I... I love you, Clarissa." The last few words slip out of my mouth without me realizing... Oh god.
