I want us to be together forever…
--------
Two hours before our meeting time, I went to a flower shop to buy Milena a bouquet of white roses. I set up a picnic table at the center of the park, where we could properly see the moon and stars.
My phone vibrated. I smiled as I read a text from her, “Hey stranger :) can't wait to see yah ;)”. I can’t wait to see her too!
After an hour, I saw her walking towards me. Wow! She’s so gorgeous in her simple blue dress. She’s prettily handsome in her jeans and polo but she’s more of a goddess in a dress! I hugged her and gave her the flowers. She complimented my beauty and I told her how stunningly beautiful she is!
I said to her, “You look stunningly beautiful with that dress, baby. That’s why I had second thoughts on making you wear a dress! Just be handsome on your jacket and jeans so that my only rivals are girls!”
I played some romantic songs while we ate our dinner. She’s talking about school and stuffs while I stare at her lovely face.
“Good thing we’re having this date at night. If we date during noon, the sun will be shy by your hotness, Mimi.”, I suddenly said out of nowhere.
“But if we date at night, your beauty shines brighter than the pale moonlight, Azil.”, she said lovingly as she held my hands. Gosh! She’s so good at making me blush!
I laid a blanket on the grass and sat on it and stare at the sky. I lean my head on her shoulder and wrapped an arm around her waist. She hugged me and intertwined our hands. When “Heaven” by Bryan Adams played, I sang along with it. It’s the perfect theme song for us. With her, I feel like I’m in heaven.
I slowly sat on her lap and gently cupped her face. I stare at her eyes and I bit my lip as I saw how happy she is. We started kissing until we’re both out of breath. My heart is pumping so hard. I rest my forehead on hers and stroke her perfectly chiseled jawline. I memorized every inch of her magnificent face, so I could now complete my painting of hers. I tried many times to paint her but it’s so hard to have an exact replica of a beautiful art masterpiece.
“Mimi, can I ask you a question? That time, when I said that I liked you more than a friend, am I really the first girl who confessed her feelings to you?”
She looked at me confused, wondering why I asked that question. She cleared her throat and said, “Yep. You’re the first person who actually courted me. You’re the only one who gave me love letters and gifts even if we’re not close friends. I still can’t believe that you like me, and that you chose me. With that pretty face of yours, guys were lining up to court you. I am nothing compared to them.”
I know that some girls wants her too but because our school is prohibiting same s*x relationships, they were scared to tell her and just admire her from afar. Boys like her too but because she’s kind of boyish, some of them backed out on courting her. Well, I thanked them all for giving me a chance. Actually, I never liked girls, but I like Milena. I’m gay only for her.
“Next question, am I your first kiss?”
She smiled and nodded. She also playfully called me a thief because I stole her first kiss. She asked me if she’s my first kiss too. I fell silent. I kissed many lips before, but it was because of the games we play on parties. And it’s not a passionate kiss, just a quick peck from my friends.
I licked my lip nervously as I said, “I am not sure if playing some dare games with my other gal friends will be considered as my first kiss. If it’s not, then you are my first real kiss.”
She glared at me. Uh oh! I think she’s mad at me!
“Mimi don’t be mad at me. All of them are playful peck kisses. They were only dare games. I swear, you’re my first real kiss and you’re my first girlfriend too! You’re my first and last! There’s no one else I wanted to kiss but you!”
“Say whatever you want to justify your actions, I’m still mad at you!”
I pouted my lips and woo her to smile again and said, “I’m sorry Mimi, I never really valued my first kiss because before, I didn’t believe that first kiss is precious and should only be given to the person who’ll make your heart go boom-boom-boom. Don’t be mad at me, please?”
She laughed at my childishness and gave me a peck on my lips, “I’m just kidding, Azil. I am not mad. I don’t care if I am not your first kiss. The important thing is, you’re here with me. And I’m the one who’s kissing you right now.”
Then I remembered to ask her about her crushes and especially Frincez.
“I liked other boys before. And yeah, I like other girls too, but it was a simple admiration. I wanted more siblings because I only have one. The way I felt for you is different. I wanted you to be my partner. And, Zec and I were only best of friends! Don’t be jealous at her!”
I will never stop being jealous! That Frincez is secretly in love with my girl! I know it because she’s looking at Milena lovingly like I do! I was going to kiss her again when her phone rang. I was annoyed at the disturbance of our romantic night! She looked at me and said, “I’m so sorry, baby, but I got to go. I need to fetch a drunk Zec at a bar. I’ll walk you home first.”
Speaking of the evil Frincez! There’s no way I’m going to let my girl alone with that drunk friend of hers. She might get taken advantage of for all I know! I went with her at the bar and helped her friend walked home and settled her on bed.
I was right to be with them because Frincez was so drunk and clinging on my girl so much! I stopped Milena when she was going to change her friend’s clothes. I told her that she has me as her girlfriend now and she don’t need to undress other girls. She scratched her head before going downstairs to get some hot milk. Frincez is calling Milena’s name over and over again that I wanted to flush her down along with her vomit on their toilet bowl!
Milena gave her best friend some medicine before we tucked her safely under a blanket. Being a gentlewoman as she is, she told me to sleep beside Frincez, but I want to sleep in her arms even if we’re on the hard floor--- she’s my soft pillow! I kissed the side of her neck as I whispered good night and closed my eyes with a big smile on my face. I had a wonderful night with my love even if there’s an extra activity with her best friend at the end.
