-Kitty's POV-
The night with Marley couldn't have gone better, I was nervous at first thinking maybe that she might be mad at me for not letting her explain or maybe I wouldn't have made the dance amazing enough for her. But everything was fine, it was great, it was amazing! That must have been the best, most magical night of my life. I smile to myself, putting my leather jacket on while opening the door.
"Hold it. Right. There" I sigh in annoyance when I hear my mother's voice behind me and turn around slowly to look at the woman in question, my eyebrow raised.
"Where have you been going all the time?" my mother asks me sternly and I know immediately what she means, ever since Marley and I got together I had been out of the house and spending time with her more and more, and it seemed like my mother had actually started to notice.
"Out" I answer bluntly, making a look of annoyance was over my mother's features.
"And where is out?" my mother asks me and I grab hold of the door again, opening it up wider.
"Not in" I reply and before she can get another word out, I'm walking out the door and slamming it behind me. Releasing a breath I didn't know I had been holding, I carry on making my way down the street, pulling my backpack strap more over my shoulder and I smile thinking about the perfect girl I was on my way to see.
…
Like usual, it takes around ten minutes before I'm standing in front of the Rose residence. I smile a little and start to climb the tree that would lead to Marley's room. Once I'm face to face with the window, I look inside to see a cute and happy looking Marley writing in her journal. I take a moment to just look. To just look at this angel that was sent to me from heaven. This unbelievably perfect, beautiful, funny, kind, caring and loving girl. The girl that I am deeply in love with.
After another few seconds of softly looking at the blue eyed brunette, I gently tap on the window. The sound makes Marley's head snap up in surprise, but the shock is quickly swept off her face, replaced by a bright smile and she closes her journal, placing it on her bedside table before jumping up from her bed and taking quick paces toward me, opening up the window.
"Kitty! What are you doing here?" Marley asks me happily and I smile at her sheepishly.
"I couldn't wait till school to see you" I tell her honestly and I can see her swoon slightly, making me smile.
"Why not use our front door?" she asks, smiling at me teasingly.
"Where's the fun in that?" I say playfully making her giggle cutely.
She grabs hold of my hand and pulls me inside gently; once I'm in she crushes her lips against mine, which surprises me. Although, my shock soon wears off and I'm wrapping my arms around her waist and kissing her back. She runs her hand through my blonde hair as we kiss each other a little hardly but lovingly. When oxygen becomes a problem we pull away, resting our foreheads together and smiling widely. I bring my hand up to brush away a strand of her hair and keep my hand pressed softly against her cheek, making her lean into it and sigh softly.
"I love you" she whispers softly, making my heart thump wildly inside my chest, I breathe out a small chuckle.
"I love you too" I whisper back, making her smile widely this time and lean in for another sweet peck on the lips. One kiss turns into two, and two turns into three and then we just start to get plain greedy. Before we get too carried away I stop and pull my lips away from hers.
"Ready to go to school?" I ask her, both of us panting a little from all the previous kissing. She pouts a little but nods her head; I smile at her and peck her lightly on the lips, a smile replacing her pout.
"Let's go" she breathes out and grabs my hand, gently tugging on it leading me down the steps. She lets go of my hand to sling her backpack over her shoulders and I smile at Mrs Rose, waving slightly. She smiles back and winks at me playfully, making a red tint form on my cheeks. I feel Marley grab hold of my hand again and turn my head to look at her to see her smiling at me softly, her baby blue eyes sparkling.
"Bye mom, I'm gonna walk with Kitty to school" Marley informs her mom, opening the door and stepping outside pulling me with her.
"Okay sweetie, see you at lunch" Mrs Rose calls from behind us and Marley shuts the door before we start to make our way down the street together, our hands staying locked together.
"So um I've been trying to ask you this for a while but we always seem to get interrupted so I never get the chance to…uh, we've been together a while now and I never actually took you out on a real date so um, Marley would you…maybe want to…go on a date…with me?" I ask her nervously, looking at the ground the whole time. When I'm done I turn my head to the side to see a smiling Marley.
"Y'know you're really cute when you're nervous. Kitty of course, I would love to go out with you" Marley says softly and I release a breath of relief as she leans in to plant a sweet kiss on my cheek. When she pulls away I smile warmly at her and pull her into my side slightly as we continue to walk.
"That's great, say…today? After school?" I suggest and she nods her head excitedly making me chuckle at the cuteness that is Marley Rose.
…
When I dropped Marley off at her class, I began to aimlessly make my way down the hall. I had a free period so I decided to work on my slowness to fill the time. I started to head to the library when some jocks came up behind me and started bothering me.
"Hey Wilde you been studying for the test this Friday? Oh no wait, it doesn't matter if you do anyway you're too stupid to take it" some jock laughed and high fived his friends, I clench my teeth together and force myself to carry on walking, doing my best to ignore them. Once they noticed that I wasn't reacting their laughter stopped and the jock carried on provoking me.
"Oh I'm sorry did you not catch that? Was I talking too fast for you? Let me go a little slower. You. Are. Stupi-"before he could finish his sentence I slammed my backpack on the ground and turned around, slamming my body into him, bringing us both to the floor. I quickly through a punch to his face, making his head whip backwards. He recovered quickly and we started to wrestle on the floor. Before we had a chance to give each other any real injuries, I felt someone grabbing at my jacket and pulling me up off the ground. The person put their hand on my chest firmly, preventing me from kicking this jocks ass.
"Kitty calm down" a deep voice tells me, one hand on my chest and the other fisting my jacket. I turn my head to the side, only to come face to face with Jake Puckerman. I look back in front of me, breathing heavily to see the jock being helped off the ground.
"You're gonna regret this Wilde" the jock said sternly, I noticed that his nose was bleeding from where I had punched him which made me smile slightly. With that he turned around and stormed off with his two buddies by his side.
"Dude what the hell was that?" Jake asks me, letting go of me when he realises that I'm calm and I'm not gonna rip that guy's head off. I sigh and pick my backpack up off the floor, slinging a strap over my shoulder as I lean my back against the lockers.
"I don't know, he said something about my…situation and I just…snapped" I tell him running a hand through my hair in frustration, I hear Jake sigh next to me and he takes a small step forwards so he's closer to me.
"Look I know that this is…hard for you and I get it I do" Jake starts and I shake my head, laughing bitterly.
"No you don't…you don't know what it's like to feel so helpless and stupid all the damn time…it's so frustrating and I try, I'm trying to fix this but it's taking so long, I've barely made any progress and it's almost been three weeks now, I still can't sit through a test without my mind going blank, I can't progress information as quick as everyone else can, I can't do anything" I bite out and slam my hand on the locker roughly, a loud 'BANG' erupting through the empty halls and making Jake jump slightly in surprise. He sighs and looks at me as I pace a little, running my hands through my hair in frustration.
"Look dude I may not be in your situation but I do know what it's like when people talk about you behind your back and make fun of you when you're just trying to mind your own business…and I also know that beating someone's face in doesn't help, sure it feels good in the moment but when you're done you just go back to feeling like crap…so the next time someone makes fun of you just keep that in mind" Jake finishes and pats me on the shoulder before walking down the hall, I lift my gaze off the floor to look at him curiously, wondering why he was being sort of nice to me. I still don't like the guy though, there's something about him that tells me that he's bad news. With that thought in mind I lift myself off the lockers and carry on walking to the library.
…
-Marley's POV-
I sigh softly and rest my chin on my hand furrowing my eyebrows in confusion at what my history teacher was saying.
Girl, you really need to start paying attention
I'm trying! But I can't stop thinking about my date with Kitty later, I can't wait!
I get that but as your conscience I have to tell you to do the right thing, which is paying attention in class!
Fine, fine I'll pay more attention
Good
"Pssst!" I hear a voice next to me say and I turn my head to the side to see Ryder smiling at me and he passes me a note. I look at him questioningly and open up the note to read it.
Hey, do you wanna go out with me this Friday?
I internally groan and try to think of an excuse to say back, I take a quick glance at Ryder to see him with a hopeful smile on his face which makes me feel a little bad that I have to shoot him down.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not looking to be in a relationship right now" I whisper to him apologetic, knowing that I couldn't write it down because of his dyslexia. He looks a little sad but nods his head anyway, going back to looking at the teacher. A few moments later the bell rings and I get up from my seat, rushing to the door excited. It was lunch now and I had something that I've wanted to do all day.
…
I nervously wait on stage in the auditorium, pacing up and down while clutching the sheet music in my hands tightly. I had texted Kitty five minutes ago to meet me here, so she should be here any minute.
"Hey beautiful" I hear a soft voice say behind me, I would know that voice anywhere. I smile and spin around to see a smiling Kitty walking onto the stage.
"Hi" I breathe out and Kitty stops in front of me, taking my hand and smiling at me warmly.
"So what was it you wanted to show me?" she asks me curiously and I take a deep breath and walk over to the side of the piano.
"I've been thinking about what songs we should do for sectionals, I think I've come up with something and I was wondering if you could sing it with me?" I ask her hesitantly and look up from the ground to see her looking at me, her eyes filled with love and adoration which washes away my nerves, replacing them with love and happiness.
"Of course, I would love to Marley" she replies honestly and I nod my head smiling, handing her a sheet with some lyrics. She takes a brief glance at it and smiles, I'm pretty sure that she knows this song.
"So um, I think that this song is one of the greatest love songs ever written and I've always wanted to sing it with someone but I just didn't know who…until now" I tell her, making her look up at me with a smile. I take a deep breath and motion for the piano player to start playing.
(Marley Kitty Both)
The day we met
Frozen I held my breath
Right from the start
I knew that I found a home for my
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away somehow
I look at Kitty the whole time, staring her right in the eye, showing her that I truly mean every word that I'm saying. The next line Kitty joins in and we take one step closer towards each other.
One step closer
I lean my head in as if I'm about to kiss her but turn my face at the last minute and maneuver around her, walking backwards with a smile on my face as Kitty turns around to look at me curiously but lovingly.
I have died every day waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love ya for a thousand more
I look at her and smile lovingly; she looks at me for a moment before stepping a little closer and singing the next part.
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
As we sing together we take another step towards each other, our voices melding together to make the perfect sound.
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
I looked deep into Kitty's eyes as she took my hands in hers, swaying together softly. I've never put so much emotion into a song before, I make sure that Kitty knows that I mean every word that I say, and looking into her eyes right now I know she does too.
Ooohoo, oohoo
I'll love you for a thousand more!
Oohoo, oohoo, Ooohoo
One step closer
I rest my forehead against hers and close my eyes, bringing one of our linked hands up to the side of our faces.
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
As the music slows down gently, I bring my forehead off of Kitty's to look deep into her hazel eyes, slowly leaning in together.
I have loved you
A thousand years
Mmhmmhmm, mmhmmhmm
As the song finishes, I close the gap between us, pressing my lips softly and lovingly against hers. She responds almost instantly, kissing me back with the same softness. The kiss was perfect, not too hard but just right, filled with the love that we share for each other. It lasts for another few seconds before we pull away slowly, leaning our foreheads together, breathing together softly.
"How was that?" Kitty pants softly, I pant along with her smiling a little.
"That was good…but I don't think it's for regionals" I tell her softly, our breathing slowly going back to normal. We smile and laugh together softly, our foreheads resting against each other again.
…
After spending some time in the auditorium, Kitty and I start to make our way down the hallway to Kitty's locker. When we get there, I lean against the locker next to hers as we talk idly.
"So what did you do in your free period?" I ask her smiling as she opens up her locker, she sighs softly and turns to me.
"Well to put it simply, some jocks said some stuff about me, I got a little angry, then Jake came and broke it up and gave me some advice" she tells me and I raise an eyebrow at her, sighing.
"Did you get into a fight again? What did the jocks say?" I ask her hesitantly, scared of the answer.
"They just said things about me being stupid and no I did not get into a fight, Jake broke it up before anything serious could happen" Kitty informs me and I look at her for a moment before wrapping my arms tight around her neck.
"Kitty stop calling yourself stupid okay? And please try to stop getting into fights; you know how I worry about you" I pull away from her smiling; she smiles back warmly and nods her head once. She closes her locker and we begin to walk down the hall.
"So how was your morning? Have fun in History?" she asks me playfully and I sigh shaking my head as she chuckles softly, I decide to tell her what happened with Ryder, not wanting to keep secrets from her even if it was nothing.
"No…Ryder asked me out" I blurt out making Kitty stop in her tracks and look at me with her eyebrow raised, I smile at her sheepishly.
"What?" she asks finally and I laugh nervously, biting my lip.
"Ryder asked me out, but I said no!" I rush out quickly, she takes a deep breath closing her eyes and I chew on my lip hoping that she won't mad. After what feels like forever but was really only a few seconds, Kitty opens her eyes and looks surprisingly calm.
"Okay" she says softly and my eyes widen a little in surprise.
"O-okay?" I ask her, to make sure I heard her right. She smiles charmingly at me and nods her head, continuing down the hall with me walking by her side.
"Yeah, sure I'm not exactly happy that Ryder asked you out but I know that you wouldn't ever cheat on me so…okay" Kitty finishes, making me smile at her a little, she starts to get a playful look in her eye as she goes to say something else.
"Besides I guess I should get used to guys asking you out, I mean it's impossible not to like you" she states with a smile in my direction making me blush lightly and look away from her gaze.
"It is to, possible" I tell her softly, starting to feel self-conscious again. I feel her nudge me with her shoulder gently, making me turn to look at her to see her smiling at me softly.
"Is not" she says playfully making me giggle softly, I nudge her with my shoulder.
"Is to" I state smiling; she raises her eyebrow at me shaking her head.
"Marley it so is not, and don't say 'is to'!" she rushes out before I can get another word in, I pull my tongue out at her making her gasp playfully, her hand going over her heart.
"Now I know that you did not just do that" she says with a glint in her eye and I giggle, doing it again. She lurches forward and wraps her arms around my waist from behind and spins me around, making me squeal and laugh loudly. I manage to get out of her grasp and start to race down the empty halls, Kitty following close behind me. Our laughs fill the halls as she chases me until I burst through the kitchen door, almost running into my mom.
"Whoa there sweetie, be careful" my mom smiles at me as I pant softly, smiling and nodding my head at her.
"Sorry mom" I apologize softly and she just nods her head smiling at me playfully, I feel arms wrap themselves around my waist from behind making me gasp softly in surprise before I start to smile brightly, knowing who it is.
"Got you" I hear Kitty whisper in my ear before planting a kiss on my head, I turn my face around so that I can see her smiling one behind me and plant one of my own kisses on her cheek making her blush. She goes to move away from me but I grab hold of the hand that are resting on my stomach, preventing her from going anywhere. She laughs quietly and kisses my temple softly.
"You two are too cute" my mom tells us from where she's cutting up some vegetables; we both blush a little and smile at her. Suddenly I remember that I forgot to ask my mom if I could go on my date with Kitty later.
"Oh hey mom, would it be okay if I could go on a date with Kitty later?" I ask her, putting on my best puppy dog look. She looks at me for a moment, then at Kitty, then back at me before smiling softly.
"Of course you can honey, but be back before dark and Kitty make sure you look after my little girl" my mom tells my girlfriend and I groan softly, leaning my head back onto Kitty's shoulder as I feel Kitty chuckle softly.
"With my life Mrs Rose" Kitty promises my mom and I turn my head to look at her, smiling softly at what she had just said. My girlfriend is the sweetest person ever!
…
-Kitty's POV-
I walk up to the Rose's doorstep with a nervous breath, clutching the white roses in my hands tightly. Since I had a session with the special teacher I told Marley and her mom to go on ahead and go home, I also had to set up our date so it was good for Marley to go home for a couple hours and wait there. After I had set everything up I went home to change into some black jeans, a grey V-neck and a light grey hoodie, putting my leather jacket over it.
The ten minutes it took me to walk to the Rose residence gave me time to think about this date and how it had to be perfect, since technically it was me and Marley's first official date together.
So what's your plan?
What?
You do have a plan right?
…I'm working on it
Oh sweet Jesus
I ignored my conscience and knocked lightly on the door, taking another deep breath and trying to shake off my nerves. The door opens seconds later, revealing a smiling Mrs Rose on the other side.
"Hi Kitty, come on in" Mrs Rose tells me kindly and I nod my head in thanks, she leads me over to the couch in the living room and I look around, seeing no sight of Marley anywhere.
"Marley's upstairs still getting ready" Mrs Rose informs me, as if she had read my thoughts. I smile a little and nod my head again, still feeling really nervous.
"So listen Kitty I'm not the type of person to do this but I am a parent so I kind of have to…What are your intentions with my daughter?" Mrs Rose abruptly asks me and I start to gap my mouth in surprise at the question.
"My…intentions?" I ask her, making sure I heard her right. Mrs Rose nods her head at me, with a serious look on her face and I suck in another shaky breath before replying.
"Mrs Rose I promise you that all I want is to make your daughter happy…when I'm around her I've never felt more happy, more content, more LOVED in my entire life…when I'm with her it's like we're the only two people in the world and right now she's the only thing that matters to me, she means everything to me…y'know those fairytales where the two people fall in love and their love can seem to do anything and then it all ends happily ever after, well I never believed in happily ever after, I didn't think it existed…but when I'm with Marley, it feels magical, like I could actually have a 'happily ever after'…that's how I feel…and my intention is to do everything in my power to make her feel the same way" I finish softly and I can see that Mrs Rose has tears in her eyes, she smiles widely and pats my shoulder gently.
"Kitty honey that was probably the sweetest thing I've ever heard and I already liked you but now I think I like you even more and I have absolutely no problem with you and my daughter dating. I can see that you make each other happy and that's all I ask" Mrs Rose smiles softly at me, pulling me into a hug as I sigh in relief, some of the nerves leaving my body. I'm so glad that she's okay with me dating Marley.
After a few more seconds of us hugging, we pull away with matching smiles on our faces and Mrs Rose pats my shoulder one more time before standing up from the couch.
"So I think Marley should be down any minute now…in fact…MARLEY, DID YOU HEAR WHAT KITTY SAID ABOUT YOU?!" Mrs Rose yells up the stairs, I look on amused. Was Marley really listening the whole time?
"YES, I DID MOM!" I hear Marley shout back from her spot on the stairs making me chuckle slightly, looks like Marley really was listening the whole time. Mrs Rose shakes her head softly, smiling at me.
"Well I need to go and help out at the soup kitchen for a little bit, so I'll see you later…oh and Kitty, I can tell you're nervous but don't worry I know for a fact that she's nervous too, this is her first date you know?" Mrs Rose informs me softly and my eyes widen at this new found information.
"Really? How could this be her first date, she's perfect" I say in astonishment, I really can't believe she hasn't been on a date before. Well great, not only is this our first date together, but it's Marley's first date EVER. Now this really has to be perfect for her.
"I like you Kitty and for the record, I'm glad that her first date is with you and not that Jake boy" Mrs Rose tells me, making me laugh softly.
"Thank you Mrs Rose, and I promise that I'm gonna really try to make it perfect for her" I promise her, she nods her head at me and turns around to open the door.
"I appreciate that, bye Kitty, BYE HONEY, HAVE A GREAT TIME!" Mrs Rose calls up the stairs to Marley, her hand pausing on the doorknob as she waits for a reply.
"THANKS MOM, SEE YOU LATER!" Marley calls out making me laugh again at the similarity of the two Rose women. Once Mrs Rose is out the door I get up from the couch as I hear Marley start to come down from the stairs.
"Y'know it's not nice to snoop and listen to other people's conver-wow…" I stop talking and my jaw drops when Marley had gotten to the bottom of the stairs and she was standing in front of me in a white dress and baby blue jean jacket, with three small, white flowers in her hair. To put it simply she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen.
"Marley you look…wow" is all I could get out, making Marley blush and giggle cutely.
"Thank you" Marley smiles brightly, her eyes sparkling even more than they usually do. Even though she looked a little nervous, I could see that she was excited too which made me relax a little. I suddenly remembered the roses I had got her and cleared my throat slightly.
"Um, I uh, I got these for you" I stutter a little, still amazed by how gorgeous Marley was. I hand the roses to her and she gasped in delight.
"Oh my Gosh, Kitty thank you, these are really beautiful" Marley smiled brightly and grabbed a vase to put them in.
"Just like you" I say playfully making Marley giggle. Once the flowers were safely in a vase, she grabbed hold of my hand and started to pull me out the door.
"How did you know white roses were my favorite?" Marley asks me curiously, swinging our hands back and forth in between us as I lead the way.
"Lucky guess?" I offer sheepishly and Marley raises her eyebrow at me.
"Okay fine, I may have asked your mom" I tell her blushing a little, Marley smiles cutely and grabs hold of my arm as well as my hand.
"Really? Aww, you're so cute" she coos making me blush even more, she seems to find my embarrassment funny and starts to giggle, leaning her head on my shoulder as we walk.
…
It takes another few minutes until we get to the meadow, Marley seems confused at first until I tell her that the dates not here but we have to walk through the forest to get there. Marley seemed to get even more confused at that but smiled anyway and let me lead her through the forest. We'd been walking for around ten minutes now and Marley was starting to ask questions.
"Where are we going?" Marley asks for the fifth time, I laugh a little and carry on through the woods with Marley following behind me.
"Just a little bit further" I inform her, refusing to tell her where we were going, as that would ruin the surprise.
"Y'know my legs are starting to hurt" she tells me and I just smile at her before stopping in front of a huge waterfall. I turn to Marley to see her eyes wide with shock.
"Oh my…Kitty it is so…amazing" Marley breathes out; I look at her smiling face and take her hand in mine.
"Yeah…I can think of something more amazing" I tell her softly making her head turn to me as she smiles at me brightly, her baby blue eyes sparkling.
"Oh yeah?" she asks me and I nod my head but let go of her hand and start to walk backwards slowly.
"Mmhmm…Race you to the top" I say grinning making Marley gap at my in surprise.
"Wait, we're going to the top?" she asks and I nod my head and start to turn around.
"Oh yeah" I answer her grinning and before Marley could say anything else I'm racing up the hill on the side of the waterfall. I hear Marley laugh loudly and chase after me.
"Wait, Kitty!" she yells, her laughs echoing through the woods. I glance back to see her smiling and running a few steps behind me, once I'm at the top I stop and turn around to look at her with a smile. She catches her breath for a second as I take her hand in mine once again.
"That was high" Marley pants making me laugh softly as I pull her gently so we're only a few inches away from the edge of the waterfall, looking out at the incredible view of trees and fields and the sunset.
"That was nothing, bet I could climb Everest" I say playfully as Marley's pants turn into her normal breathing again. She raises her eyebrow at me and smiles playfully.
"Nobody likes a bragger Kitty" Marley says to me playfully, making us both laugh a little. It's then where she really looks out at the view, taking in the amazing sight lit by the orange glow of the sunset.
"Oh my Gosh, Kitty it is so beautiful…" Marley states, her eyes wide with amazement and a bright smile on her face. I nod in agreement, looking out at the place I had found a couple days ago.
"The day after we danced, I found this place…I couldn't believe that it had been here all this time and I had never realized it before…and all day I just sat here for hours and hours just thinking about you because whenever you're not with me I miss you, hence why you're the only thing on my mind almost all the time" I confess to her, lifting my gaze up from the ground to look at her to see she was teary eyed. She leans into me and plants a soft, lingering kiss on my cheek.
"That's really sweet" she smiled at me, I smiled back and pulled her over to a picnic blanket that I had set up before. She gasped a little as we sat down and I pulled out the basket filled with food.
"You didn't!" She said playfully and I smile cheekily at her.
"Oh, but I did" I say back making her giggle as I get out some fresh strawberries and some sandwiches. We talk and laugh, telling funny stories to each other as we eat. When an hour has passed, we had finished the sandwiches and there was one strawberry left. Marley was sitting up crossed legged, whereas I was lying on my side, propped up on my arm.
"You can have it, I'm so full" Marley tells me, putting a hand over her stomach as if to prove a point. I grab hold of the last strawberry and hold it up in front of us; I must admit it looks pretty damn big.
"Marley this could be the best, most juiciest strawberry in the world but you wouldn't know because you're not gonna have it" I tell her teasingly making her giggle adorably.
Ugh, you think everything she does is adorable!
That's because it is!
"Okay fine, we'll split it?" she offers and after a little bit of thinking, I agree nodding my head. I hand the strawberry out for her to take but she surprises me by moving forward and biting half of the strawberry whilst I'm still holding it. I can't help but stare at her lips as strawberry juice covers them, making her lips glisten in the light of the sunset. I quickly snap out of my thoughts and bring the rest of the strawberry to my own lips, biting it off and tasting the juicy goodness.
Marley moans as she swallows the fruit, smiling at me softly as I swallow my piece.
"It's delicious, you were right" she tells me making me smile as I pack up the empty boxes that were once filled with food.
"I usually am" I say playfully making her laugh softly and slap me on the shoulder slightly. I laugh a little and grab her hand to pull her up, we move back over to the edge of the waterfall and sit down, our feet dangling over the edge, Marley's grip on my hand becomes tighter and I look over to her in concern to see her looking down at the ground nervously.
"Oh, Marley I'm so sorry, I forgot you were scared of heights, we can move" I say apologetically, moving to get up but Marley grabs my arm to keep me from going anywhere. I look to her in confusion to see her smiling and fortunately, she looks a little less nervous now.
"No it's ok, I'm not that scared anymore…besides, if I fall, you'll catch me right?" she asks me smiling, referring back to when we climbed the tree and I calmed Marley down with those words. I nod my head slightly, running my thumb over Marley's hand soothingly.
"Right" I smile at her warmly; she lays her head down on my shoulder and places our linked hands in her lap, playing with me fingers.
"Y'know Marley, all my life I've had to pretend to be someone, something I'm not. But when I'm with you, I feel like myself again…like I can be myself…and I don't wanna be anybody else as long as I'm with you" I confess softly, I feel Marley smile into my shoulder and sigh softly.
"I don't want you to be anybody else either…I wish we could just stay like this forever, no school, no Jake, no Ryder…just you and me" Marley says, snuggling more into my shoulder. I place my head on hers, sighing softly as I wish the exact same thing in my head. A song pops into my head and I can't help but start to softly sing it.
(Kitty, Marley, Both)
Can you imagine, what would happen
if we could have any dream
Marley brings her head up from my shoulder to look at me in surprise and I think love in her eyes, I look out at the view but carry on singing.
I'd wish this moment, was ours to own it
and that it would never leave
Then I would thank that star,
that made our wish come true (come true)
Marley joins in with me, her hands still holding mine, playing with my fingers gently, her gaze fixed firmly on me whilst I was still looking out at the sunset before us.
Ohh Yeahh
Cause he knows that where you are, is where I should be too
I finally move my eyes away from in front of me and turn my head to look deep into her sparkling, baby blue eyes.
Right Here, Right Now
I'm looking at you and my heart loves the view
Cause you mean everything
I turn my body to face hers, holding both her hands in between us, looking at her with a loving smile on my face.
Right Here, I promise you somehow
That tomorrow can wait, for some other day to be (to be)
But right now there's you and me
I stand up pulling her with me, our hands staying interlocked. She looks at me with her eyes shining bright and she starts to sing the next verse with her beautiful, angelic voice.
If this was forever, what could be better?
We've already proved it works
That two thousand one hundred twenty three hours
a bend in the universe
She starts to walk backwards as we sing together happily, my hand in hers preventing her from moving any further away from me.
It's gonna make everything (everything)
in our whole world change
(it's our change yeah)
And you know that where we are, (where we are)
Will never be the same
oh no,oh no
I spin her around and bring her into me as she wraps her arms around my neck and I place my hands on her waist, smiling widely together.
Right Here, Right Now (right now)
I'm looking at you, and my heart loves the view
Cause you mean everything (everything)
I rest my forehead on hers but she moves backwards and out of my hold teasingly, starting to dance around the field, me happily following her.
Right Here (right here)
I promise you somehow (somehow were gonna)
That tomorrow can wait, for some other day to be (to be)
But right now there's you and me.
I turn away from her and hide behind a nearby tree and smile as I watch Marley look around for me as we carry on with our singing, our voices blending together like magic.
Oh we know it's coming (coming)
And it's coming fast
It's always you and me
I decide to put her out of her confusion and creep up behind her and wrap my arms around her from behind and lifting her up in the air, walking backwards making her squeal.
So let's make this second last
Make it last!
I put her down and she turns around to face me, our hands reaching out to grab hold of each other again as we pull each other close.
Right here,
Ooohh Right now.
Yeah I'm looking at you,
I bring my hand up to brush away a strand of her hair behind her ear, my hand on her cheek lingering before it falls back down to grab her hand again as she smiles at me with adoration.
And my heart loves the view
As she that line she moves her head to nuzzle her nose into mine, giving me an eskimo kiss as her smile only gets bigger and brighter.
Cause you mean everything
I bend down slightly and Marley turns around once again, pulling me along with her hand.
Right Here, I promise you somehow
That tomorrow can wait, for some other day to be (to be)
But right now there's you and me
I pull her into me again and rest my forehead against hers, breathing in her sweet scent as she smiles softly, enjoying our song.
You and me
You and me
I pull away from her and spin her around, so her back is pressed against my front and I'm holding her protectively from behind.
Ohh You and me
But right now there's you and me
We finish the song softly together and I kiss her temple as she sighs in content, leaning back into me more as I wrap my arms around her tighter.
"I love you" she whispers into the wind, making me smile warmly into her hair.
"I love you" I whisper back into her ear as we stand pressed against each other, watching the sun go down and basking in the dim light of the orange glow.
…
We stayed there for an another hour before we decided it would be best to take Marley home now since it was starting to get dark, it's not that we wanted to go but Marley's mom would have started to get worried, if we could have we would have stayed there for a lot longer. But we didn't want to push our luck, so as soon as the sky started to turn into a dark blue, I took Marley home.
This brings us to now, where Marley and I are standing on her doorstep, neither of us wanting to part.
"Okay, now I really should go" I say for what seems like the tenth time but was really only the third. Marley groans but finally nods her head in acceptance.
"Okay, I guess you should…Thank you for tonight, it was the most perfect first date ever" Marley smiles softly and I look at her lovingly, resting my forehead against hers.
"You're welcome" I say softly before meeting Marley halfway, our lips meeting softly. Sparks fly as we finally kiss one another, our lips moving together in sync as I rest my hands on her waist and she wraps her arms around my shoulders.
I force myself to pull away after a minute has gone by, knowing that Mrs Rose is probably watching us with caution. I smile slightly at Marley who still had her eyes closed.
"I'll see you soon, I love you Marley" I tell her softly and bring her hand up to my lips, pressing a soft kiss to it before walking backwards slowly, watching as Marley blushed and smiled at me brightly.
"I love you too Kitty, I'll see you tomorrow" she tells me softly and opens her door, walking inside the warmth of her home. I fully turn around and start to head home, thinking that not even my mother could ruin my good mood.
…
As I open the door to my house, I step in and close it behind me softly, all the while trying to be as quiet as possible, hoping that my mother wouldn't be up or better yet that she won't even be here.
"Where do you go? And I want an honest answer" looks like luck wasn't on my side as I hear the stern voice of my mother. I turn to look at her and almost flinch at the glare she was sending my way.
"Nowhere, don't worry about it" I answer her before turning to go up the stairs, hoping to God that she would leave it alone. But she didn't, because the next thing I knew I was being shoved roughly into the wall, my head smacking against it making my vision blur for a second.
"Katherine, you tell me. Right. Now." She says to me, her voice hard and her eyes cold. Her grip on my jacket tightens and she pushes me further into the wall. My confidence falters and I think about how furious she would be if she found out the truth, but I don't know if I can lie to her this time. I gulp heavily and go to open my mouth.
