We chuckle as we remember that night. It was exactly nine months ago.
"Remember when you jump into the cake" I laugh.
"Hey! That was for you" he whine.
I smile and lean over to peck his lips. "Yes and that was sweet and stupid"
I clutch his hands as snow descend from the cloud bank. I shiver as a gust of cold wind blew. He wrap the blanket around me. I couldn't help the smile off of my face. I lean my head on his shoulder. I felt the cherry red tree bark biting into my skin. I look at the empty field that was cover in snow. Even though I was freezing, I didn't care, I was here with my Willie.
"So how many college applications did you send out?"
"Now is the time you want to ask about college Willie?"
He grab the cup of hot chocolate and drink some of it. "Oh come on, anytime is the best to talk about college"
I bump his hip with mine's. "Okay fine, I sent out five"
"That's great and where to?"
I roll my eyes "you know where Willie"
"No I don't you never told me"
"I didn't, because it's a surprise"
"Well when will you tell me?" he wrap his hands around my waist as I lay my head on his chest.
"Tomorrow"
"You already got the letters back didn't you?"
I laugh "yep"
"And?"
I smile "and what?"
"Did you get into any colleges?"
"Oh I'm not going to tell you, you'll see tomorrow"
"Chelsea! That's too long"
I scoff "There's only fifteen hours left, you can wait"
"But-
"Hey do you have your Swiss army knife with you?"
"I always do, why?"
"Because......." I grab his hand as we got off from the blanket. I pull him toward the red tree. I grab the Swiss army knife from his hand and push to make a dent.
"We are going to carve our name in the tree"
"Why?"
I press harder to break chunk off. "Because it's fun and sweet"
He snort. "For a second I thought you was going to say romantic"
"It isn't going to be romantic, because we are going to mark stars instead of a heart"
"You say that now, but after you'll be like aaaw and emotional" he tease.
I roll my eyes and hand him the knife. "It's too hard literally"
I smile at the two stars that was carve on the tree. The points touch as our initials were in there as well. We squat down in front of the tree. I took a picture of us together underneath our carve stars.
"You know in a week your parents will be shock"
He chuckle."Yeah, maybe this time they'll finally see that this relationship will last"
