Hey everyone :) Here's the next part of Our Times! I don't think I mentioned it in the last chapter, but Cleo & Lewis are now 22 years old.
Anyway, enjoy & review! I'll upload Chap 3 when I get 5 reviews! Still dedicated to Majobloem! (WALIXELA, your's is coming soon! I've almost finished it) Chapter Two: Cubby-Houses & Truth or Dare
When the breeze on the beach got too cold, we started to make our way up to the Moon Pool, along with a picnic dinner that Lewis had made & brought from the mainland. I suppose that Mako Island, especially the Moon Pool, is like a cubby-house. We go there to talk, we go there to cry, we go there to hangout & we go there to think.
It reminded me of a cubby-house that Lewis & I used to have...
When we were 10 years old, Lewis moved houses. We thought it was the end of the world! He was one street further away than before!
The good thing though, was that his new house had a cubby-house in the backyard. Lewis' brothers were all either teenagers or toddlers now, so we had the cubby-house primarily to ourselves.
We had lots of good times in that cubby house over the years. We stopped using it when we were about 14. Sure, we didn't do the same things we did when we were 10, but we used it to hangout, do our homework or study, and to get away from siblings & parents. We had so much fun in that cubby!
We decorated & painted it together, working together as a team to get the finished result. We negotiated on everything from colours to furniture.
One day, when we were eleven, we had been playing hide & seek and chasey. Anyway, I cheated and Lewis threatened to beat me up.
I knew he was joking right after the words came out of his mouth & instead of worrying, I just laughed at him, and after being offended for a second, he too laughed. No matter how hard he tried, Lewis isn't intimidating.
Another occasion in our cubby-house, we were playing 'Truth or Dare' and I wanted a truth as we both normally wanted. Lewis asked me whether I would rather eat a cow brain or heart. I can't remember what I answered, but I vividly remember what happened next.
"Alright, so Truth or Dare Lewis?" I asked him after answering with whatever I did. "Um, Dare!" he said boldly. It was a rare occasion when either of us would choose a Dare, so it was a big deal when we did.
"Okay then! I dare you to..." I said contemplating what to dare him. "I dare you to kiss me!" I said feeling quite bold too.
Lewis blushed and was about to complain, when I stopped him and said "A dare's a dare, Lewis!"
He sighed and leaned in to kiss me on the lips when I moved my head, his lips just brushing against my cheek, before I got up and ran out of the cubby-house laughing like it was the funniest thing ever.
Like I said, lots of things happened in that cubby-house. Lots of laughs & secrets were let out. And lots of memories were made.
Take me back to the house in the backyard tree
Said you'd beat me up, you were bigger than me
You never did, you never did
Take me back when our world was one block wide
I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried
Just two kids, you and I...
Oh my my my my
