Two Weeks Later
I was shoved to the ground and had a white sticky substance smeared over my lips. Out of instinct, I was sketchy on licking it off. God knows what he'd put it my mouth, or has. If you catch my drift.
"Just try it." He persisted.
Hesitantly, I sucked the sweet cream off my lips.
"You missed a spot." He said.
His thumb traced my bottom lip slowly. Small moments like these are what makes this relationship so meaningful. Every small thing holds something bigger.
His eyes lingered on my eyes. I know where this leads. He captured my lips with his soft ones. They moved together in a fluid like motion.
Everything seemed to slow down. Even the grass tickling my thighs slowed. The sun seemed to shine brighter, warming my legs and arms. But I was less focused on what I felt from nature, and more preoccupied with the beautiful boy kissing me with such passion.
He pulled away and rolled off me. We've been in Canada for three months. I was beginning to miss my family. Thankfully, our next stop on warped was our hometown.
I'm kind of bipolar on the whole 'home' thing. At one point, I'm like A Day To Remember. The next, I'm like All Time Low. But I'm still going, nonetheless.
"Happy birthday babe." He said, kissing my nose.
An involuntary smile stretched across my face. There's not many things that have went right in my life, but this has to be one of them. I stood up and started putting our things away.
Our conversation from the other night replayed itself in my mind. We had got into an argument. The thought instantly killed my mood.
I had wanted him to come with me back home. Just to meet my family. But he got promoted to manager at the music store and had responsibilities. It was childish of me to have gotten mad.
"You alright?" He asked, hugging me from behind.
I nodded in response. Had my mood change been noticeable? He gently turned me to where I was facing him.
"No you're not. You've been crying." He said, wiping a tear from my eye.
I didn't know I was crying. I guess it means a lot more to me than I expected.
"I'm sorry." I pulled him into a tight hug. He rubbed my back and hushed me.
"If this is about the home thing, don't be sorry. I was kind of an ass."
My words came out mumbled and incoherent, so I just left it. I'm crying over absolutely nothing. Wow, pmsing much?

"Sam, I just don't think you two are ready." I said, aggravatedly.
"Andy and I already have." Adia said, out of the blue.
"So have I and Logan." Ren chimed in.
"Alex, you're the only one who says we shouldn't." Sam sounded hurt.
According to the three, Tony said Vic was planning on a promise ring. But they've only been dating three months. Am I the only one that sees the wrong in that?
Maybe it's just an inner conflict because Jay still hasn't gotten one for me yet. Who knows, maybe forever overwhelms him. I can't say I blame him.
"Anyways, Jay wants you to be at the park in ten." Sam said, and roaming off to god knows where.
Were we not already at the park earlier today? Knowing better, I obeyed without further questioning.
I was instructed to wait at the bridge. When I arrived, I just leaned over the rail and gazed into the water.
Last time I was here, my thoughts got deep. I used to think Jay would hurt me. Leave me like the rest. But now, now I'm not sure. If he was playing me he'd drop me by now. Wouldn't he?
"Alex," A familiar voice brought my attention to them. "This is so cliché." He laughed.
"You're beautiful, smart, funny, and everything I've ever wanted. I like you a lot, and god I hope you like me too. But this is a promise ring. I'm promising that I'm never going to leave you. No matter how hard this gets or how far you push me away, I will never leave." He said, bringing out a small black box.
He opened it to reveal a small and simple black band. He slipped it on my finger and kissed my forehead.
I couldn't speak in fear of my voice cracking.
"I love you so much." He said.
Tears rolled down my cheeks. Now I'm going to have to let Sam and Vic do this. I understand why she wanted it so bad.
"Oh my god I love you." I laughed between tears.
