When I first saw him it was like love at first sight....sometimes he would roll his tounge at me just to be funny or saying don’t take it personal lol, but I think it.....differently. The next day rolled around and we were watching King Kong, You Know where the guy saves the girl from king Kong’s hand...he said hey your that girl and I’m the boy....In the movie where she got on the guy’s back I started to blush...he laughed and said don’t take it personal, but like I said I don’t take it personal...I take it seriously...I like him so much, I just wanna melt like an ice cream bar!I know it’s wrong to like your cousin but my cousin is funny,charming and cute??I don’t know what to do! Should I tell him my real feelings about him....or just reck my relationship with my cousin??

 Ahhh OP,
It's not love. It's a crush or infatuation, nothing more.
Don't tell him, that will just make everything awkward.
I'ts OK that you like him as a person but be realistic here, this isn't going to go any where. A relationship you would potentially have to hide is just not a good thing.
So he is cute and charming and was VERY good at entertaining you during the visit. That just shows he is a sociable kind of guy.
You will be starting high school after the summer vacation, right?
Trust me, the school will be full of CUTE and CHARMING guys who are NOT related to you.

 It's not love, it's hormones. As long as you don't act on it or tell him, it's okay and totally normal.
This happens all the time, OP. You need to be mature about it and remind yourself that it's just a crush because you're used to him.
Seriously, OP, these are you're real feelings: "I'm young and you're cheeky, so my hormones are buzzing and making me think I'm falling for you, but I'm really not".
This isn't what falling for someone feels like. Genuinely falling for someone is not what happens when it's a cousin or a teacher, for example.
Let it go, OP. Ignore his weird flirting; it's not because he fancies you, it's just because he's going through similar hormone surges to you.

It's the convenience of close proximity, familiarity, and there's also teenage-hormones involved.
Don't make it a habit or get too comfortable falling for your relatives. You're young and crushes of this sort happen all the time.
Please don't allow it to get too serious. It can cause some problems with both your parents. Don't tell him how you feel; and try your best to let the feelings pass. Pay more attention to other boys who show interest in you. Cousins are blood-relatives; and you should love them as such.

 Take it for what it is - a crush on a boy who is paying you attention. It's not love, more likely it's hormones. Enjoy the feeling, but keep this to yourself. You'll only end up hurt and embarrassed if you express your feelings to him, or anyone in your family. You will return home, and after time, the feelings will pass. And then you'll find you have a crush on another boy.
Take care xx
