Colossal Damage

48 . Love struck

I rush upstairs and burst into my room with excitement . Today has been perfect .

Excitement coarses through my veins as I think of the romantic night Carter has planned for us . I step into those dreaded ankles boots because I want to look pretty for him ... you know match his whole bad boy asthetic . He makes me want to feel pretty and I do feel pretty . I feel pretty awesome .

I pass the mirror and take a good look at myself . I smile at my appearance . My curl hair is up in a messy bun with a few strands loose adding a bit of character to my face . I still wear no makeup . Carter always says I already have a pretty smile to wear . I am wearing a white tank top and my brand new leather jacket . I love this thing . I decided it will goes with everything ! It has it's perks which make me think it's the best gift I've ever been given .  I get to match my boyfriend's whole aesthetic . I pair it with a pair of black jeans with rips and those ankle boots . They go with the outfit . It give me that edgy bad girl look that I think I like now . I think it's grown on me ever since dating the 'bad boy .' His my bad boy .

"Don't fool yourself ..."

The little nagger in my head tells me . No ! Today has been perfect .

"I'm enough ." I chant over and over again . Because I am enough . If Carter believes I can overcome this then I can . Speaking of him , he should be here any moment now . I skip downstairs and just let out this easy going breath . I feel like I'm walking on sunshine . I'm just so happy , happier than I've ever been .

I hear the motorcycle out front and step outside . Carter's eyes do a very slow and calculated study of my body making me flush . It's funny how much one can do in an hour . He smirks in my direction as I approach him .

"Damn , you're so rocking this new look of yours ." He nibbles on his lip nodding aprovingly in my direction .

"Give me a 360 ." I twirl from him and he whistles .

"You're so beautiful ." He pulls me to him . My thigh bumps the shiney black paint of his bike while my lips bump his . If you know ... you know . Our lips dance together and I smile during our kiss . Pure bliss diffuses through my body . Every nerve ending of my being is buzzing with excitment . I blush when we pull apart .

"I remember there was a time I'd have to bring your head up so you'd stop hiding that adorable blush from me . You've become such a strong women , Pinky . You've grown and the part I love most is that you're still the same kind hearted girl  . I'm so proud of you . Eighteen looks good on you ." He hugs me . You know the hug . My arms go around his neck his around my waist and we bury our heads into each other's necks .

"12 . Teach Paris how to hug (especially Carter )." He mumbles against the skin of my neck . His experiencing the same nostalgia I'm experiencing right now . I hug him tighter . I'm glad I pushed that red button that is Carter Dalton . He is my rock . He is my person .

"Ready for your birthday surprise  ?" I nod vigirously as I take my seat behind him on the bike . I wrap my arms around his waist and rest my head on his shoulder like he has always taught me . You're probably expecting my head to go into his neck or my eyes to close aren't you ? However, I smile eyes wide open with the rush of the wind kissing my face . The trees and houses blur past us and I let out giggles . I see Carter's lips curl into a smile as he takes us to where ever he has planned . There was a time I'd be afraid to hop onto this thing , then again there was also a time I hated Crater Dalton .

He cuts the engine when we arrive at school . Painting maybe ?
He helps me off the bike and it's then I see the blanket he has on his lap . I quirk my eyebrow at him and he just chuckles . He takes my hand and strokes it with his thumb . He knows that's my weakness . He pulls me in the direction of the soccer field . I watch as he lays the blanket out over the grass and takes a seat patting the side besides him . Once I'm sitting , he pulls me closer to him and lays us down . My head rests on his chest and his arms are cuddling me . We both look up at the sky where the stars are all gathering tonight  .

"The first time I kissed you was in this spot . You don't know it Paris . But , you saved me ." He strokes my cheek . I twist my head to look up at him and smile . More like he saved me . That night the stars were like this too.

"You did something like this ..."

"I want to remember every last detail of you ." I trace his lips with my fingers as I recall his words "I want to paint every single detail of you ." Since , I can't paint ...

He smiles at my words . I lean forward slowly . I let our lips brush slightly before pressing mine to his gently . I savour the feeling of his soft plump lips against mine  and close my eyes . Those sparks from the first time we kissed fly once again . They always do though when we kiss like this (soft and gently ) . My lips move against his as I dominate the kiss which becomes heated pretty quickly . His one  hand tangles in my hair messing up my bun while his other lightly grabs my waist . I nip at his bottom lip begging to deepen our kiss . He grants me the oportunity and my tongue meets his . He tastes like deliciously crisp mint . He lets out a throaty sound before pulling away . Just like the first time we both lay on our backs facing the sky . My eyes are closed as I remenice and smile .

"Open you eyes ..." And just like that I'm taken back to the first moment I realized I was utterly consumed by Carter Dalton . The day his lips touched mine for the very first time ...

"I love you , Carter ." His eyes light up at my words . The words I realised I should have said sooner ... that night when he'd drawn them on my thigh .

"I love you . "He responds with a soft smile on his face .

"And so colossal damage we shall cause. " I repeat his words from that night earning myself a playful smirk .

"Boom ." With that we both fall onto our backs , with our hands linked and we gaze up at the stars . I think we're both taken back to the night our lips first touched because when I turn to glance at him , I find he is already looking at me ...

AN: This is by far my favourite chapter of this book . I really enjoyed writting this one . It made me feel nostalgia going back to the moment of their first kiss .

Today is the 23/12/2022 at 00:11 . This is the time I re-experiened the moment they first kissed . What day and time are you experiencing this ?

XOXO
