I could only feel one emotion as Jonah came to a stop in front of me: Fear. Not fear of him, just fear of ultimate rejection.
Don't be nervous, Cyrus... He's the one who asked you out. He wanted to go on a date with you...
"Cyrus..?" Jonah's voice broke me from my thoughts, causing me to jump a bit. He smiled as he looked at my light blush that I knew was creeping up on my face. There was a small twinkle in his eyes as he looked into mine. I couldn't help but smile back and look to his skateboard.
"So, I get to watch you on that thing..?" I ask, slight anxiety welling up inside of me as I recalled the last time I tried to skate to impress him. It did not go well...
"Ah, yeah, if you want. Or we could go somewhere else and do something that both of us might enjoy..?" He grinned as he spoke, as if he had been working on this plan since last night. I nodded slowly, not entirely sure what he had in store, but not wanting to question it. He smiled warmly and took my hand as he led me towards his next planned activity for us.
It wasn't long before Jonah brought us to a stop at the ice skating rink, causing me to gasp slightly. I always talked about wanting to learn to figure skate, though I never thought he was paying much attention to my random ramblings.
"Oh my gosh, Jonah..! You remembered..!" I let out a small squeal, not even meaning to. His eyes lit up when he saw my joy, a small chuckle escaping his throat.
"How could I forget, Cy..? You talk about how much you love it, so I decided to give it a shot with you..." He chuckled again, his signature grin sliding across his face. On impulse, I pulled him into a hug, my face buried in his shoulder for a minute.
"Thank you for doing this..." I whispered, pulling back from the hug and looking at the door with a silly grin.
"I can already tell you want to go in... So let's not wait." Jonah said, opening the door for me and smiling as I walked in.
"This is all for you, Cyrus." He whispered in my ear, before placing a gentle kiss on my cheek.
Sorry it's short again this week, guys. Spring break is here and I'm busy with my family, so uploads may be short until I get back on my normal schedule. Thank you for reading and for understanding..!
