Do you love me....

THE DATE (PART 3)

~Ray's POV (P.S sorry if I haven't made it clear, but Norman is taller than Ray, just in case;)

I blinked as my eyes adjusted to the light. I looked forward but was met with plain green grass.  I must've made a confused noise, cause I heard Norman let out a deep chuckle, right by my ear, sending a shiver through my body. He squeezed me closer to his body, before whispering in my ear.

"Look up Ray". I gave him a confused glance, which was met with a small smile, before looking up. I gasped. It was the most gorgeous sight I had ever seen. Thousands of bright glowing stars littered the empty night sky, no light pollution for them to hide behind.

 It reminded me of the time Norman's mom took me and him on a camping trip in the 8th grade. We waited until his mom fell asleep before sneaking out of our tent. We had walked up this big hill, and sat down to watch the stars. I remember we started talking about dating, specifically first dates. 

Norman had said he'd want to go to an amusement park with a friend group, then he turned to me and asked what I'd want to do. I remember laughing and saying what kind of idiot would want to date me. But he just kept asking, so eventually I said I'd want something small and quiet. And he said like stargazing? I nodded and we continued to watch the stars, that was one of the best nights in my life. 

Then it hit me.

" You remembered," I whispered, my brain was trying to catch up. How in the world could he have possibly remembered?

He must have heard me though cause he leaned closer to my ear and said "Of course how could I forget, oh and just to be clear if dating you makes me and idiot, I'll be as idiotic as you want". 

I choked on air at his words, I know that it sounds really sad, but that was one of the nicest things anyone had ever said to me. Heck, this was one of the nicest things anyone had ever done for me. 

I felt his hands moving on my hips, turning me around to face him. The air rushed out of my lungs as I looked at his grey eyes, they held so much emotion, one of which almost seemed, like love? No Ray, don't get your hopes up. I looked away from his eyes, choosing to look at  the ground instead. After all, how could someone like him, love someone like me...?

~Normans POV

 I turned Ray around by his hips, and looked at his eyes. Honestly, I could fill thousands upon thousands of books just about Ray's eyes. The were especially amazing tonight though, the light of the stars twinkled in his his eyes, making them a purpley green. Which sounds disgusting, but right now it was leaving me breathless. He looked so happy, so hopeful, he looked beautiful. 

Then all of a sudden, it was gone. The light the happiness, gone, instead replaced with doubt and insecurities. He looked away from me. My smile was replaced by a small frown. I used my free hand to tilt his chin up to look at me, but his eyes wouldn't meet mine. I think I know whats wrong...

"Ray?" I began," Could you look at me pls?" He looked at me through his eyelashes, which was so adorable but now was not the time.

"Ray, I know I've told you this before, but you need to hear it again. You are amazing, okay? I don't care if your not popular, or if in your mind your not smart even though you are a fricking genius, or pretty, even though you are fucking gorgeous and ravishing and every other word in the dictionary that means stunning" I said in one breathe, Ray looked stunned.

"And I will do everything possible to make you realize all of that, but first I need you to realize that I chose to date you, because I want you, and only you," I grabbed his hands and put them around my neck. He was full on staring at me now, so I pulled him impossibly closer.

"So Ray, will you be my boyfriend?" I asked nervously. It took him a few seconds but he finally answered with a stunning smile.

"YES, HECK YES!"  he said, and I broke out into a smile too. I picked him up and spun him around in a circle, before setting him back down. We were both laughing and smiling too hard to notice how much closer we had gotten to each others faces....

~Rays POV

I was so incredibly happy right now, I mean c'mon. I GOT A BOYFRIEND!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were both laughing and smiling, but when we stopped and realized how close to each other we were we stopped laughing. He set me back on the ground, but kept his hands on my hips. I glanced from his eyes down to his lips, and I noticed him do the same thing. Well, it was now or never..

I leaned up slowly and kissed him, at first it was a bit awkward, but once we got in the hang of it my eyes shut, and I wrapped my arms tighter around his neck, I felt his arms do the same thing around my hips. I have no idea how long we kissed, but we stopped when we ran out of breathe. I leaned back down. Norman pressed a few lingering kisses of my forehead, lips, and then my neck, before coming back to look at my eyes. We just stared at each other for a few minutes, before my alarm went of signaling 30 minutes until my curfew. 

I groaned but Norman just smiled and led me back to his car. We drove back to my house in silence but it was comforting silence, helping both of us come down from the adrenaline rush the kiss gave both of us. He parked in my driveway, and got out to walk me up to my porch.

"So....." he said," I guess this goodbye till Monday then?"

"Till Monday" I responded before leaning in and giving him a hug, and i felt his arms wrap around my waist again. God, I don't think I'll ever get tired of that feeling. We held on for a couple seconds before letting go. He leaned in and kissed me one last time, before smiling, getting in his car, and driving away.

I watched as it disappeared down the street, before unlocking the door and letting myself in. As soon as the door shut, I slid to the ground. Honestly how was I supposed to survive without any kisses till Monday....
