Ernie bit his lip when he saw how nervous she was. Nothing good followed that look, did it? He jammed his hands in his pockets whens he let him go, but remained looking at her. He smiled brightly when she finally said it. He took a step towards her and brushed the hair out of her face, the tips of his fingers brushing across her cheek as he did.
"There is no reason to be nervous. I like you a lot too." He said softly, "You have to know... I don't... I don't have a lot of experience, so I might not be as good of a ... boyfriend as you deserve." He told her, moving in to kiss her deeply.
