Alex's POV:
Cloud 9, what it was for others I had no idea. I never actually paid much attention to this corny little word before. Truth be told I never really paid attention to these words ever. For me, these words were a complete waste of time and it does nothing but cause confusion and unnecessary expectations in a relationship.
Very disrespectful I know but I never cared about these things before. My parents were an example enough for me. I didn't want another complication in my life than I already have. So, it was a surprise for me when I was looking for a word to describe the feeling I was in.
And what better word than Cloud 9, to describe this. It easily sums up the emotions, the unsaid words, the meaning behind those stolen glances, the warmth of that fleeting touch, the uneasiness when she isn't near and the happiness that I feel, starting from the pit of my stomach traveling all the way till my heart and exploding there.
