Chapter Six
I glanced up at the clock for what seemed like the hundredth time. I silently told myself to calm down. Travis wasn't supposed to be here for another five minutes. I looked around the nearly empty disc store. This place was normally packed on Friday so it was quite unusual that only nine people were here. I quickly forgot about it as I saw Travis enter with something in his hand. He looked great. He was wearing a white button down shirt that was open to expose the black T-shirt underneath. He was also wearing a pair of dark denim jeans that were paired with his trademark Converse. I stood up and embraced him before we sat down.
"So, what do you have in your hand?" My eyes lit up as he pulled out an aqua box with a lime green bow tied around it. I was surprised because aqua was my favorite color and lime green was his. I eyed it suspiciously. "What's this for?"
"A very smart girl once said that if you want to be romantic it couldn't hurt to get a small gift." My eyes widened as I picked up the box. I undid the ribbon and lifted the lid. My breath caught in my throat. Lying in the box was a gold locket but it was unlike most lockets. Instead of being shaped like a heart it was in the shape of a rose. The gold was painted so that the rose was a soft pink with white tips.
"Travis..." He leaned over the table and opened it. On one side was a photo of me during my political in pink campaign. I looked ridiculous with that pink in my hair. As I looked at the other side I felt my breath get caught in my throat for the second time. Right there was a photo of he and I during the process of making my first hit single. I was leaning over my guitar smiling at him and he was sitting behind me in the control booth smiling back.
"I remembered that you once told me that your father had given you a locket just like this when you were seven but you had lost it. Well, I searched everywhere and bought this for you. I thought I would add my little twist to it and put our pictures in. Do you like it?" I looked up at him with tears streaming down my face. I leaned over the table and pressed my lips to his.
"Travis, how could you remember that? I told you such a long time ago." I was so surprised that he could remember something so personal to me.
"I remembered how upset you were so I promised myself that I would find you a new one. I remember everything you say Lily." I looked up at him and smiled as I saw the blush on his cheeks. As I stood up I grabbed his hand and led him outside.
