Soon the moving around us stopped. I heard a beautiful girls voice, her holding on to my hands guiding me to god knows where. "Just follow me and it were almost there" she said.
Soon enough she let go of my hands and positioned me in a certain spot. She slowly took off the blindfold. She stood in front of the one-story building with her arms up in the air. "Ta da!" she smiled.
"Kie- how- you remembered. How? I mentioned this place like twice when we first met" I told her in shock. "Exactly. You don't mention the same arcade twice if it isn't important. So I did some looking around and I found it!" her eyes grew big as the biggest grin grew upon her face.
"Thank you, it's the best surprise i've ever gotten" I walked towards her and planted a soft kiss on her lips. She intertwined our hands as we began walking towards the building.
As we took our first steps inside Kie's jaw dropped. "This place is amazing! No wonder why you love it so much" she exclaimed. "What do you wanna do first?I'm fine with anything" I asked. "Shoot-out" she didn't hesitate a second.
We went over to game and the second it started Kie began rapidly shooting the basketballs into the net not missing a single one. I look over and she is concentrated, more then i've ever seen her.
"Kie" I tried to get her attention. "You can slow down your gonna beat me anyways because your a machine" I said as I looked at the score board. We had five seconds left and by no surprise she was up 54 to 21. She got more then double my score.
"Kie how is that even possible you suck at basketball" I stated. She paused for a second acting offended. "Ah ha JJ Maybank I may suck at basketball but Shoot-out is very different" she chuckled.
*Kiara POV*
After a long night at the arcade we decided to head back to the boat dock. We walked back hand in hand. As we got on the boat we stood up against the railings next to each other.
"Hey JJ" I stopped the silence. He looked over to me and into my eyes. "Why was this arcade so special to you?" I questioned.
He hung his head down and chuckled. He looked back up to him. I gave him caring eyes and he began to speak.
"After my mom left is when my dad started- it...Only a year after she left I barely talked to my dad. Each time I came home he would hurt me. A year after that I met John B" he paused.
"Did you and John B go here?" I asked. He shook his head and looked back down. I grabbed a hold of his hand softly. He began speaking again. "One day my dad got a call from the school to pick me up because me and John B got in trouble" he chuckled.
"He brought me home, thats when he also started abusing me psychically and mentally. I hid in my room behind my dresser for a week only coming out when I heard his car leave, I got food when he was gone then hid again. He came home one day and opened my door. He saw me crying holding a photo of him, me and my mom all together on his boat. He took me to the arcade. We had fun and he even said he was proud of me. It was the best memory a five year old boy could have. When we got home he never spoke of it. Not once in twelve years..."
I then saw a glimpse into a part of his life that I was never there for. I got tears in my eyes and hugged him. He wrapped his arms around me making the hug tighter, warmer, and safer. He kissed my head and we stayed hugging the rest of the way back.
The boat stopped and we were back on outer banks. We stepped off and stopped by the water admiring the water with the moons glow.
"Hey J" I said quietly but felt as loud as ever, I wasn't used to such calm waters. "Yeah?" he replied.
"I know it's early. Really early. But I think I love you" I straight out said. He stayed silent. God i'm so stupid. Whats wrong with you?! He shares a personal story with you after you guys have been dating for what? Less than a week! Oh god he's gonna hate you! I bet he'll dump you right now! Why did you have to mess everything up.
Within the seconds I was rambling on in my thoughts I didn't realize that he had said something. "Kie? Did you here me?" he asked me. Oh no I bet he just dumped me and I was too busy overthinking everything that just happened. I didn't mean to but I ignored him. I stayed silent, stressing in deep thought.
He stepped away from water and slowly approached me, hovering over me, staring into my eyes. I was caught off guard but liked it as he passionately pressed his lips against mine sending shivers up my spine.
I had no idea what was happening. What did he say? Did he say he loved me? Was he kissing me because he felt guilty for dumping me?
After what felt like a long time but wasn't he quickly pulled away.
"Kie- I"...

Instead of having fun with their friends and family they have to be scared to death just to go to school. Sending all love and prayers to Oxford and all the families and students effected and all the students who are getting these threats. Stay safe out there because the world is a dark and scary place. 🙏❤️
