Forbidden Love

Prom?

Damen

I look deep into those gorgeous eyes and realize that a girl like Ever only comes once in a lifetime and now that she's mine, I don't plan on ever letting her go. I know, other people may be thinking that we're moving too fast, but it doesn't matter, because I know it'll last. She's everything I've ever wanted in a girl and more. 

So, I look at her and say, "Ever, will you go to prom with me?" 

She looks at me and I see a smile growing on her face as she says, "Of course, love, but don't you think it's a little too early to be asking that?" 

"Yeah, I know, but the thing is that I don't want any guy asking you before I did," I answer. 

"Awe, that's sweet, but you're my boyfriend. I couldn't think of anyone else I rather go to prom with, " she replies. 

She's so amazing and she just looks so beautiful, that I can't help but lean in and kiss her. I love her so much. She stole my heart, it's everything about her. I grab her camera, set it a few feet away from us and take a picture as I lay back down and wrap my arms around her. She told me she wants to be a photographer and what better way to inspire her than to give her some photos of us? 

We lay there for a few hours and wait for the park to be empty so that we could have the swings to ourselves. While we wait, we eat some of the sandwiches that Guadalupe made us. As soon as we're done, I pick up our stuff, grab her hand and run towards the swings. 

We get there breathless and she starts giggling. I start laughing and then pick her up onto a swing. 

I start off swinging her gently, but then she says, "Damen, swing me higher! I always used to like the swings as a kid, because it was as close as I can ever get to reaching the sky. It almost makes me feel like I'm flying." 

Her voice sounds like music to my ears. The feelings I have for her are unexplainable. I've been waiting for a girl like her my whole life. Isn't it amazing how in a world of 7 billion people, I found the one? As I'm swinging her, she's taking pictures of the sites she sees with her camera. 

"But sweetheart, I don't want you to get hurt!" I holler at her so she can hear me all the way up there. 

"Don't worry, baby. I'll never get hurt, as long as I got you," she responds. 

Things like this are what make my heart skip a beat and my knees get weak. She knows all the right things to say. As I'm swinging her, I look at my watch and see that it's already 5:30. I wanted to take her for ice cream before I dropped her off at home.

So, I stop swinging her and tell her, "Amor, we gotta get going. It's about to be 6 already and I want to get you home on time." 

"But we still have an hour!" she complains. 

"Yeah, I know, but I wanted to take you somewhere else before I dropped you off at home and if we wanna make it on time, we have to leave now. I could always bring you again anytime you want, babe," I respond. 

"A surprise? Yay! In that case, let's go now," she says with a grin. 

She hops off the swing and starts running towards the street. I run after her and when I catch up to her, I wrap my arms around her, lift her and twirl her. We fall to the ground laughing while the world spins around us. Then, I kiss her nose and we get up.

We start walking, holding hands when I tell her, "Okay, so this is the part where you have to close your eyes." I lift my arms and cover her eyes with my hands as I walk behind her and lead her to this new ice cream place that opened up a few days ago. I heard they've got the best ice cream in the city. 

She's giggling and tripping, until I whisper in her ear, "We're here." 

I stop right in front of the shop and take my hands off of her eyes. 

She opens her eyes and says, "Oh my gosh, ice cream! Wait, isn't this supposed to be really expensive ice cream, because it's from Italy or something like that?" 

"Yeah, it is," I answer her. 

"I've always wanted to try this ice cream, but I was too lazy to ever come by myself," she responds. 

I start laughing, but she's right. She is lazy, because if I let her, she could lay around bed, sleeping all day. We go in and she gets strawberry ice cream with whipped cream, while I get vanilla ice cream with whipped cream and peanuts. The ice cream was pretty expensive, but we could always get refunds, no? 

I pay and we start heading home, when suddenly Ever starts moaning and saying, "Oh God, best ice cream, ever." 

I start laughing and say, "It can't be that good, can it?" 

She looks at me with these big eyes and says, "Try it." 

So, I lift my spoon to my mouth and it's an explosion of flavor. This ice cream is insane! 

"Oh my Jesus, so good," I whisper. 

Ever just laughs and says, "Told you so." 

By the time we get to her front door, we're done with the ice cream, unfortunately. I walk her to her door and then hug her. 

I lean back to look at her and then I say, "I had an amazing time today, Ever." 

"Me, too," she whispers as she leans in to kiss me. 

It's funny, because she tastes just like that strawberry ice cream I bought her. We break the kiss and she walks into her house as she whispers, "Goodbye, love." 

"Goodbye," I say as she closes the door. 

I think I'm falling hard for her. Tonight was amazing and I would want something like this again, so I text her to set up our second date. 

Me: sweetheart, next Saturday another date.? i really enjoyed tonight.(:

Ever: Yeah, I'd really like that, babe. c: 

Me: then it's a date.(;
