The Elements

chapter 15

‘’ Come on mari this lipstick would look so good on you ‘’ Luna said as she was trying to put lipstick on me. It's 11 at night after the meeting ended. My mother and I had a walk and talked about the whole situation ‘’ just fight for you and your friends and family ‘’ she said while holding my hands. It's been two hours since that talk with my mother and now luna is helping me get ready for my date with bryan ‘’ i don't think it matched the color of the eyeshadow tho how about this nude one it matches and i like it ‘’ i said trying to convince her that red doesn't look good with a natural makeup look ‘’ fine your right ‘’ luna said as she dropped the red and pasted me the nude lipstick ‘’ what time you think you will be back ‘’ luna said as she sat down on her bed looking at my dress. I decided to wear a long sleeve black dress since it's usually chilly at night ‘’ i don't know probably at 2 or 3 depends how long the date is ‘’ i said as i checked the time it was already 11:50 ‘’ well i think it's time to go now luna ‘’ i said getting nervous and shaky ‘’ okay okay just breathe remember what we talked about breathe and have fun ‘’ luna said as i nodded and breathing in and then letting it out and looking at her smiling letting her know that i was ready. Luna then let me go and off i went to the tree, the minute i reached outside i got shaky ‘’ whats wrong with me i'm a goddamn daughter of two feared mafia bosses and here i am getting nervous and shaky over a boy ‘’ i said to myself, i head towards the path me and bryan made when we first discovered the tree together and i followed it. Left, right, left , right, straight, right, left and the path went on from there straight forward. As i began to reach the tree i can see lights ‘’ oh don't tell me it's what i think it is ‘’ i said as i began to turn red and felt tears in the corners of my eyes, i began to walk again making him notice me and bow down to greet me he was very well dressed too,  he had a whole suit on making him look so handsome to me. ‘’ well well well look who finally showed up ‘’ he said with a smirk as he held his hand out for me making me grab it and begin to follow him towards the blanket on the ground with the projector next to it pointed to a white blanket you can tell he struggled to put up there ‘’ did you do all this for me ‘’ i said as i turned red and looked at him ‘’ well i would do anything for you ‘’ he said as he looked at me making me look at him in shook. I've never had someone say that to me other than family it was all new to me. ‘’ well you wanna lay down and begin to eat while i set up the projector ‘’ he said nervous i can tell he started getting nervous after he said that it was cute, i nodded and sat down, i then began to take out the food he had in the basket he brought with him ‘’ you brought my favorite donuts i can't believe you remembered that theses were my favorite ones ‘’ i said as i spotted boston kreme donuts at the bottom of the basket he had brought the heart shaped ones for us usually they would sell these around february for valentines day but somehow he got some for us in the middle of may ‘’ well of course i remembered i would notice when your face would light up when we would pass by the donut shop and you would spot the donuts from the window and wish you could buy one ‘’ he said once he was done setting up the projector and putting on the movie ‘’ thank you ‘’ i said as he began to lay down next to me. The movie began and we both began to lay down and eat the food he brought. It was a good movie actually you would think he would pick a bad one but he actually put my favorite movie on. We were halfway through the movie when I could hear him sigh. ‘’ hey Mari i have to tell you something that i think me and you have been holding in for a while now ‘’ he said as he turned to me making me sit up and turn towards him too ‘’ yeah what is it ‘’ i said hoping it was what i was hoping it was ‘’ please confess to me that you love me and that we should finally date ‘’ i thought in my head starting to turn red ‘’ well you remember that in july that you are allowed to get married after you turn 16 to anyone you please or if you want a arranged marriage that you can do that to ‘’ he said making me remember that i didn't want to believe the arranged marriage thing but it was true my siblings refused to just like me because we didn't want to be married to someone we had never met before or have any feelings for let alone have kids with them ‘’ yeah what about it ‘’ i said as i didn't like the idea of being forced to marry someone instead of having the right to choose, ‘’ well i know that we haven't even dated yet but if you could at least think about this but would you marry me when you're ready to get married ‘’ he said as he began to turn red and start to shake a lot i couldn't lie i was turning red as well i wasn't expecting that at all. ‘’ i'll love to marry you when i'm ready but maybe we should date first an not leave that part out ‘’ i said grabbing his shaky hands and holding them making him smile and lean in, he then kissed me making me kiss him back but pull away before it got to doing something serious were both minors so it wouldn't be right of course. We then cuddled and before the movie ended up finishing we both fell asleep in eachothers arms. I felt warm, I felt nice, I felt loved….
