Moments in Time Chapter Two: First Date
"Miley, how much further? Lilly asks as I pull her along in search for the perfect spot.
"Let's just stop here." I sigh, exasperated.
"No Lil, just a bit further. I saw the perfect spot last week when I was riding my bike and we're almost there. This is our first date, it has to be perfect."
"Oh, Miley" Lilly says as she stops and pulls me to face her. "I'm with you, that's all I need for this to be perfect."
My heart melts as I lean in and kisses her softly. "Come on, it's just ahead.
"Woah, that's a pretty tree..." Lilly trails off as we reach our destination. I wordlessly go about setting out a blanket and our lunch. The leaves of the tree partially shield us from everyone else but allow us a full view of the sky and beach in the distance.
"You know" I say, "ever since we were eleven I've imagined what our first date would be like. I would pick you up and hold your hand, open doors for you, kiss you goodnight at the end of the evening…"
Lilly grabbed my hand and kissed it.
"I always imagined it just being a natural progression. I was supposed to court you, make big romantic gestures and such, and we weren't supposed to make love until you knew how much I loved you with all my heart… I guess I've overthought it so much throughout the last few years that when it finally happened my feelings just exploded and I couldn't help myself; I had to have you last night. I love you so much, Lil. I just want this to be something you'll remember for the rest of your life. I know I will."
Lilly was silent as tears fell down her face. Quickly I brushed them away with my thumbs and kissed her before dipping a strawberry in whipped cream and feeding it to her.
"There is no way I could ever forget this, or anything else. I've loved you for so long Miley. We could be sitting in the parking lot of Wal-Mart, eating beef jerky and drinking soda out of the bottle and it would still be the perfect first date because I'd be with you. It doesn't matter that we got together somewhat out of order, us together is so right because it's me and you: Miley and Lilly."
I smiled and kissed Lilly deeply. "So, you don't like the strawberries and sparkling cider?" I ask with a bit of laughter in my voice.
"Oh, I love it." Lilly said before taking a big sip of cider.
"I can't help it, I'm a romantic. Guess I get it from my father."
"I know you are, and I've always loved that about you. Feel free to romanticize me any day."
"Oh, I do Lilly; I plan on it every day for the rest of our lives."
We laid cuddled up in each other's arms for the rest of the afternoon, watching the sun set before heading home to fall asleep together.
