Ocean always thought she was only being friends with Ricky for Brownie points before she died, but she was wrong, she was in love.
Her mind, no longer a blank, empty shell, was beginning to reassemble itself. It was coming together. Her eyes went wide when he accidentally leaned his head on her shoulder.Ocean breathed in slowly, That was the first time he's touched her since they died. Her heart began a slow, slow thump. If he wasn't here, what would she do? What would they do that was so important? Her mouth had moved before, her hand had reached out and caressed his shoulder and now her mouth was moving again, But she couldn't make a word come out, instead, she sighed gleefully.
And she didn't feel like she did just before she found him, now it finally felt right to her. He walked away from her for only a moment but that moment felt like an eternity for her. Ocean let out another sigh when his hand fell back to his side and she sighed.
A small chuckle came out the corners of his mouth, "I don't know if you remember this, but you were actually my first kiss, Ocean" "We've kissed? when??" "Oh, it was a long time ago, you wouldn't remember." "Well, I want to" Ocean looked at him with a slight smile on her face, This was what she had always wanted. little did she know, This is also what Ricky had been waiting for.
When he kissed her before he lost his ability to walk on his own, that was the day he developed the crush he could never reveal, Her words brought always used to give him a little more hope, What if she could be everything he desired?
She felt her voice start to rise and then start shaking. Something was changing, That's what happened to people who couldn't love anyone else, she was truly and utterly in love with the most imaginative boy in town, Ricky Potts.
Ricky's hands found the small of Ocean's back and lifted her off the ground. Their lips brushed, sending chills down her spine. they stared into each other's eyes for a moment but it was the best moment of their afterlife.
As soon as she felt him pull back Ocean's lips opened with an alluring smile, it wasn't just the kiss that was beautiful. It was her smile. What she gave Ricky was nothing short of a miracle. He would never forget this moment.
It had been so long ago, When she first met Ricky, she thought it would be hard to get to know him because he couldn't talk. Ocean had to bite her bottom lip before he spoke. Not that she minded but her heart was pounding so hard she knew it couldn't be just her imagination. This boy could make her feel things she'd never felt before.
When Ricky wrapped his arms around her she began breathing out a deep sigh. Then she breathed in slowly. Long moments passed as he pulled back. Her eyes still locked with those of Ricky and she smiled at each of them.
Finally, his gaze found her own and before the smile could leave her lips, they kissed. He kissed her so softly, She could feel the warmth of his body through the material of their clothing, Ocean didn't mind that he did so gently, It didn't bother her in her mind at all. once he pulled away, she couldn't help but smile, she finally found someone that loved her for her, instead of it being because of her looks.
People would often tell her that she was a gorgeous young lady and that all the boys will swarm around her the second they laid eyes on her, but she didn't care for that kind of thing, she wanted to be prime minister, and that's not just given to anyone.
