Hey! Here's a new story! :) I wrote this entire chapter tonight, while I was working on my other stories too! :) This is the story prize for Majobloem, for winning the Taken Away Chap 17 competition! I hope you like it! :D It's a song-fic story, based on Taylor Swift's song 'Mary's Song (Oh my, my, my) This story will be set as Cleo & Lewis's date on the beach for the entire story, with flashbacks & memories. It's a bit of a fluffy story with a cute ending :D I'll HOPEFULLY update ALL of my stories tommorow! :) I like Clewis, but I don't write much of them, so here we go! Enjoy & please review! Chapter One: Beach & BBQ
It was twilight & I was sitting on the beach at Mako Island. The sand was still a little warm after such the intense heat from the sun all day. Lewis had his arm wrapped around my back, and my head was rested on his shoulder, and together we were sitting in silence and watching the waves roll in & out, gradually going further and further out to sea. There was a slight breeze in the air, but it wasn't cold, just cool.
Lewis had returned from studying at America 2 months ago. In that time it was really hard being seperated & keeping in contact, but we did & here we are!
I looked at Lewis and his lips curled into a small smile, and his blue eyes smiled along with it. Looking into his eyes, I remembered a day from when we were both, say 6 or 7 years old...
It was the summer holidays and a classic Australian summer day. My parents had invited the McCartney family over for a BBQ dinner & I was super excited about seeing my best friend Lewis. Lewis & I have been friends since we met on our first day of kindergarten. We always had a bond or connection right from when he asked if he could paint with me on the first day. At the beginning of our friendship I was quite shy & conservative, but after a few weeks of Lewis talking to me and me responding with whispered words, we became the best of friends.
Anyway, at the BBQ, Lewis' family were running late (as usual) and the minute after when we said they could arrive, I started nagging Mum & Dad if I could call his house and check that they were still coming. Half an hour later the McCartney's arrived and Lewis had brought along his brand new 'Kids Science Experiments Kit' that I really wasn't that interested in, but I acted excited for him because I knew he would do the same thing when I showed him my brand new 'Baby Annabelle Doll' once he was finished. By dinnertime, we had already played chasey, made a cubbyhouse out of pillows & blankets and played on our scooters together. At dinnertime, Lewis & I sat next to each other. Lewis' brothers started joking around saying "Oooh! Lewis has a got a girlfriend! Kissy-kissy!" Then our dads joined in on the joke too & our mums just sighed at the maturity of their husbands or sons, while Lewis & I just sat there looking at each other, helplessly going shades of bright red. It was worse than the time in year 2 when someone wrote on the table that we shared, 'Lewis loves Cleo!' Boy did we get teased about that! By the time our faces returned to semi-normal colours, we had finished our sausages & bread with tomato sauce. We had to have salad too, and coleslaw was the only thing that was left by the time Lewis' brothers had attacked them. Anyway, Lewis knew that the dressing in coleslaw hurt my mouth, so he put mine on his plate so that I wouldn't get in trouble with my parents because I hadn't eaten my salad. After dinner we played chasey in my backyard again in the dark. Lewis tripped over something, so we decided to end the game with a draw. Our parents were sitting under the veranda with the party lights on, enjoying the humid night. Lewis & I laid on the grass and watched the stars on the beautiful night. I looked next to me & saw Lewis watching me, smiling & I smiled back at him, thinking that his shiny blue eyes reminded me of shining bright stars that we were watching. "I think that star looks like your toe" I said, making him smile even more. "How would you know what my toe looks like?" he asked and I laughed at his short memory. "You made me look at it from all angles when you hurt it!" I said and we both laughed.
That night at the BBQ, we fell asleep under the stars, smiling at each other's jokes, no matter how un-funny they actually were!
She said, I was seven and you were nine
I looked at you like the stars that shined
In the sky, the pretty lights
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
Growing up and falling in love and our mamas smiled
And rolled their eyes and said oh my my my
What did you think? Please review and let me know! I really hope you liked it Majobloem :)
A couple things from that chapter is based on my life. Sadly, the writing-on-the-table thing is! My best friend in primary school was a guy, and someone wrote that on our table. :( It was soooo embarrasing! Lol. The baby Annabelle doll was a doll of mine too :)
I'll upload the next chapter soon! :)
Anyway, have a good day/night!
