PAST - 5 YEARS AGO
GRACE'S POV
Jacob and I have been living in a state of bliss for the past 3 days just together never leaving each other. He keeps on playing that one song and singing the whole time, 'Angel' by Rayvon and Shaggy.
"Girl you're my angel, You're my Darling angel"
And there he goes again. No wonder he calls me Angel. He loves that song. I join him and we start to sing together.
"Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby. Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel. Girl, you're my friend, When I'm in need, lady"
He's smirking and then stands up in the middle of the room, where I'm standing and starts to attack my neck with kisses and laughs at my 'apparent bad singing'.
I pull his head out of my neck and start to kiss his lips. He deepened the kiss as his hands fell to my waist while I rest my arms around his neck.
He starts to slow down and I think he means to say something. We draw apart and he looks down to me and said "As officially being your boyfriend for 72 hours, I still haven't taken you on our first date yet"
"Yeah, I think that's quite rude, pretty boy"
"Pretty boy, who are you calling pretty boy?"
"You silly, why? You don't like it?"
"No, I love everything that comes from your sweet pretty mouth" He places another peck on my lips and grabs my hand to walk towards my cupboard.
"I'll be back in 20 minutes. Get dressed. I have something planned"
"Excuse me, since when?"
"Before I even asked you to be mine"
Awwww
I put on a blue denim skirt with a white top that has some cute little patterns. He never said to be dressy so hopefully this will be ok.
Speaking of the devil, he walks in as if he saw me in the red bikini from the party on Australia Day. He stares at me again like I just showed him the most life altering thing.
"Why are you staring at me like that? I'm dressed very casual"
He walks up to me and puts his hands around my waist and chin on my head and says "Every time I see you again, you get even more beautiful than before"
"You only saw me 20 minutes ago"
"Yeah and you look even more beautiful"
"You are such a liar"
"If you saw how I see you from my eyes, you would never feel insecure or unsure about how you look. You are perfect and I'm so grateful you are mine."
Heart's melting and I'm swooning
We start walking to Jacob's car, a Jeep Wrangler. He is such a beach boy. He parks closest to the beach. Bronte Beach. Our favourite beach where we just swim and hang out with the family. Though he goes to different beaches near his house for surfing.
We jump out of the car, starting to walk and then I see it. A picnic blanket with little lights surrounding it and what I'm presuming food in the basket as well as some set up on a platter on the blanket. The blanket is all set up on the grass near the sand, the place we always hang.
It's perfect.
It's so us.
We race each other to the blanket and I get ahead, winning and do a victory dance. But Jacob only smirks as he approaches.
"You let me win, didn't you?"
"Yeah, did you see how happy you looked"
"Love you pretty boy"
"Where's the 'I' Angel?"
"I love you pretty boy. Is that better?"
"Perfect. I love you too my angel"
He kisses my forehead and we lay down with my head on his chest on the blanket. He starts to point out different cloud shapes and we try to figure out what they look like. It's almost as if we were kids again.
It starts to sound like Jacob's hungry so I sit up and check out the food he brought. Mini-sandwiches, Shapes biscuits, strawberries. It's like a mini pantry with all this variety. I pull out the mini sandwiches first and we feed each other the sandwiches and laugh as we do it. We do it without a care in the world or of the people surrounding us.
It feels perfect.
As the sun starts to set, we pack up all the food but stay on the blanket just quietly, laying on our sides staring into each other's eyes. His eyes are illuminating and I get lost in them.
He starts to realise my loss of focus and puts his hand towards my upper thigh. I smack his hand away only for him to push me to my back on the blanket and him on top of me. He rests on his forearms near my face and asks;
"How was our first date my angel?"
"One of the many greats still to come"
He grinned at my answer and started to stare at my lips. I mean I was staring at his too. We meet halfway, our lips colliding and fireworks explode in my stomach. This was truly one great feeling.
His tongue licks my lips asking for access and I give it to him just as he gave me. We continue to make out for what feels like forever and I feel out of breath. He releases my lips and starts on my neck. The sensation is too much. I feel so alive and it's only from him kissing me.
He is my person and I am his and this is just the beginning of what I hope will be our epic love story.
