I yell in excitement as I stare at the fireworks exploding in the air. After so long, this night makes me feel the same again. The very same Avery I was and want to be.

Never in my life, I imagined being here and all because of him. I don't know what is it, but I adore the way he looks at me. His touch makes me feel like I am alive. My heart beats, not just typically but in a very weird way.

He is like the fireworks in my life. he makes me explode with happiness.

A huge giant has shut off my view by now. It's easy for Eric to see but for me, difficult!. I'm like a dwarf in front of him. Noticing me struggling, he asks " you wanna sit on my shoulder? ".

I stare at him, my mouth agape comprehending his words. Without waiting for my response, he bends down on the ground making me sit on his shoulder.

" Woah " I shout in excitement. The view is way better now. I wave my hands in the air as it continues. He is holding on to me tight so that I won't fall.

" ok now enough, put me down," I said to him. He does. The cold air puffs past my air. Our hand accidentally caresses each other, which causes a tingling sensation to run down my spine. I swallow as Eric moves his fingers against mine slowly, tenderly.

My heart is beating like a drum in my chest, I am fully aware of what is going on, he is lacing his fingers with mine.  However, I don't seem to mind it. I know it's going the wrong way but somehow, I don't yank my hand away.  I let him do that. 

A few seconds pass between us in a hush, adverse to the loud voices around us. Finally, I brace myself to look at him, and when I do, I catch him staring at me with amusement apparent in his eyes. His eyes are twinkling with something I can't recognize, but something like Adore.

I look away, trying to calm my heartbeat. My heart is going all crazy in my chest as I feel him giving my hand a slight squeeze.

" Gosh, this was the best night, it was glorious. I loved every part of it". I mumbled to him smiling so hard that my cheeks will fall.

The waft hits at an incredible speed, gusting everything coming in its way. We are walking back to the car. The thunder blasts the sky, cracking it in half.  Before I know it, the rain pours down heavily on us. The ocean of people runs for a shed.

Finding a shed outside a shop that has its shutter down. We stand there while the rain pours heavily on the ground. My shoulder has moistened with water. Bad day for an off-shoulder top.

I gaze at him, the silence between us is somehow comfortable. He is still beaming wide. My heart flips at seeing him. I love his smile. I am so grateful for today. Eric has just fulfilled one of my dreams. I am so grateful to have him.

" That was remarkably brilliant," I said breaking the ice. He peeks at me as amusement crosses his expression. His gaze lingers on me, as he shoves his hands into his pant pockets.

This situation reminds me of a scene, I watched in a movie where the girl runs in the rain, circles around on the street, not caring about anyone who is watching her.

My stamina gives up and without any further thoughts, I step out of the shed. The pool of water hits my skin, I angle my face up towards the sky to feel every inch of it. I open my arms like a fan and circle around, enjoying every bit I can feel his gaze on me, there is no one except us. I let it wash everything and bloom my heart as it does to flowers, wash the black layer of sadness.  I want my heart to be fresh and pure. 

I was whirling around but he stops me by clutching my wrist. I feel bad now, I was enjoying it. Before I could through a huff, he drapes his leather jacket around me, filled with his fragrance. I can breathe in this scent forever. 

He yanks me towards his chest, his face still holds the same amusement watching me. My hands collapse with his hard chest where his heart is beating as mine at a steady speed. I grasp his collars in my fists to bring him more closer. His grip on my waist tightens.

" Avery " he whispers which sends chills down my spine. " I love you ". He declares, seriously. " I really do ".he starts.

" And I am afraid if you say anything back, it won't be ' I love you too' he sighs. "So maybe, just don't say anything, "just let me "he whispers.

" Just let me live a life where it's still possible, that you may love me the way, I love you and you can go on, loving another without a worry". He whispers, his voice raspy with serious expressions.

My mouth drops open, everything around us seems to stop even the sound of rain. Maybe the water has filled my ears and I can't hear him.

But then as I stare into his intense eyes, I know for sure I heard it right. My heart now dances in my chest, he can perhaps feel it as we are so close to each other. I am still trying to digest before I can start my rail of questions.

He locks his lips with mine. I taste his lips which taste like strawberry as the slush we had at dinner. He kisses me gently and nevertheless, I kiss him back allowing him to shove his tongue inside my mouth. Letting him, have my first kiss. Adrenaline rushes through my body, the only sound of our heart beating fills my ears.

The kiss soon turns into a fierce one like I am his breathe and he wants to inhale me in. The chill breeze blows past us but strangely, I don't shiver. I feel warm in his embrace.

Perhaps, I too feel the same towards him.
