31 Day Writing Challenge #2: Day 1 - 'But You Said...'

"But you said..." 
"Fuck what I said." Bish's frustration shouted through his words. "I was talking shit and we both know."
"So how do I know you're not talking shit now?" Ellie challenged him, keeping her gazed steady on him.
"Because you can always tell when I'm lying. And because I'm about to do some stuff that I fucking never do and don't come fucking natural to me...and I'm gonna do them without any fucking beer," Bish's attitude was still on the angry side for someone trying to win a girl's heart. Ellie stayed silent; watching him, and when Bish finally made eye contact she raised her eyebrows in expectation. Bish gave a gruff, resigned sigh.
"I was wrong." His shoulders slumped and he looked at the ground.
"Well, that is a first." Bitterness filled Ellie's words. Bish scrunched his eyes and steeled himself to keep going.
"You were right." 
"Holy shit. Are you feeling ok? Or have you been replaced by the alternative universe version of yourself?"
"Ellie. I fucked up. OK?! You loved me and I left you alone. It was the stupidest fucking thing I have ever done. Shit Ellie, you're the only thing that made my life bearable." Bish stamped his feet pacing, looking anywhere but at her. Then he forced his gaze to look Ellie dead in the eye. "I love you, Ellie."
"Shit." The full weight of Bish's words hit her. "Bish...I...You don't say that. Ever. To anyone. I mean, you're almost allergic to the 'L' word."
"I'll say it to you every fucking day if you'll just take me back. I miss you, Ellie. It fucking hurts like hell." Bish stood there, desperate for the girl he abandoned to trust him again.
"Bish..." Ellie almost ran to him but fear stopped her.
"Ellie, I'm here and I am not going anywhere. I fucked up once, it will never happen again. I can't lose you again, I won't. I am in this. I promise. Fuck sake, Ellie. I'm talking about my feelings. Would I be doing this if I wasn't fucking in this a hundred percent?" Ellie looked at Bish, he was right, he wasn't running from his feelings; from her or from a tough situation. He was here. And, after all this time, he was telling her how he felt about her. 
"Say it again." Bish looked at her with a mix of surprise and confusion while a slow smile spread across her face.
"I love you, Ellie." Bish said softly as he walked towards her, pulled her close and kissed her. "I fucking love you." A huge smile lit up his face as he kissed the girl he thought he'd never get back.
