This Is My Life[short story]

Chapter 3 "Joe"

Lucy and Candy left more or less at 1.30 so after that I had lunch: the left overs of the pizza heated in the microwave for about 30 seconds. At 2pm Joe texted me:

Change of plans be ready at 2.30pm, I'll pick you up. C u.
Joe

When the time came, Joe was at my door with some flowers.
"Hi Zoe!" his deep voice made me nervous
"Hi Joe"
"This are for you" said Joe while he was handing me over the flowers
"Thanks" my cheeks were on fire, I'd never been so nervous, god!
"C'mon, let's go!" That voice calmed me
"You sound really excited"
"Well, I am and by the way, you look beatiful"
"Stop it, Joe, you are making me blush!" I gave him a girly and softly tap in his chest
"Sorry, it's true... " there was a really awkward moment until he spoke "let's keep going"
"Okay, but where to?"
"We are going to a very special place, just follow my lead"
"As you wish"
After a 10 minute walk we arrived at a park that had a fountain in the middle and some benchs around it. Joe held my hand and at the same time we said:
"I need to tell you something... Okay, say it... I'll say it then"
But when I was about to say something Joe grabbed me and we started kissing. Suddenly, I felt his cold hands going down my back to my butt and I actually liked so instead of pushing him away I put my hands around his neck. Then I remembered that I had to tell him about me going away so I bit his lower lip.
"Sorry, the thing is that I have a really important thing to say" I said
"Well, you could have said that instead of biting me, couldn't you?" he smiled
"First sit down" he sat on the bench staring at me with his deep blue eyes "Joe I really like you"
"I like you too" he interrupted me
"I know, but this can't work"
"What do you mean?"
"I'm saying that this can't work beacause I'm moving to the US" I watched his beatiful eyes turn from happy to sad
"When?"
"Next Sunday"
"Zoe, please don't go"
"Joe, I must g... he stood up, pulled my body against his and kissed me again. I pushed him away.
"Zoe, please let me kiss you, I heve wanted to do it since the day I met you but I always got scared that you'd reject me"
"I have been waiting for this kiss for years, trsut me, but if we aren't going to see each other anymore then I don't want to kiss you, it's too painful"
"But I love you, let's not waist the little time we have together talking about sad things let's spend it on things that are worth it, like watching movies, kissing, just being together"
"Oh Joe, I love you too" I started crying
"Don't cry, I hate seeing you sad"
"I can't help it"
"Come here"
He hugged me and then we sat on the bench, I was seating on his lap. I wanted to live this moment forever.
