⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ Chapter 9: Valentine

"The first one to ever like me back, I'm seconds away from a heart attack!!! How the hell did I fall in love this time? And honestly, I can't believe I get to call you mine.. I blinked and suddenly, I had a Valentine!"

(listen to the music while reading!!!)

Peggy had kept that same blush on her face for at least 30 seconds, John was also the same way, then Peggy decided to break their silence by saying something, "So! Uh, how's your food?" She asked, John chuckled a little and smiled before letting her face go. "Pretty good, I can tell yours is good, and it is!" He said happily before Peggy nodded, "Mmhm! It is pretty good.." She said and laughed a bit while John nodded in agreement. "It is! The flavors are amazing.." He said and hummed softly while drinking his lemonade and smiling at Peggy, Peggy chuckled a bit as she drank her glittery lemonade also. John just admired her.. She was so beautiful. He sighed happily and rubbed his head. Could he do it now? Or should he wait for the last thing he had planned for that night.. Star gazing! He nodded to himself as Peggy just kept on eating. "Could we get dessert..?" She asked and smiled at him while John nodded quickly. "Of course we can, Pegs!" He said and chuckled a bit and booped her nose, Peggy giggled and blushed once again. "Alright! I may get a cake.. Or cheesecake..?" She asked and tilted her head, John shrugged. "I don't know.. Look at the dessert menu and take your pick!" He said happily and started to blush also, he didn't even care about Peggy noticing his blush, he was with her, he loved her. She's so important to him, and would hate to loose her. 

Once Peggy picked out dessert, the waiter had came to take their plates. "Was everything good?" They asked and smiled, taking the plates and bowls. Peggy nodded happily, "Yes indeedy!" She said excitedly and giggled, that made John blush even more, her excitement, her voice, everything about her. He sighed and nodded, "Yup! Amazing," He said and chuckled while Peggy nodded, "Yeah!! Can we get dessert?" She asked as she pet a cat that brushed up against her ankle. The waiter nodded, "Of course! What would you like?" They said and smiled softly, Peggy took a few seconds to look at the menu... Then nodded at what she wanted, Flan pudding!! She smiled a ton when she saw it, "Flan pudding.. Please!" She said happily and John chuckled at her excitement over the pudding, Peggy smiled a ton while John looked at the menu and hummed softly... "I'll just have a water, she's all about sweets." He said in a joking manner, Peggy pouted. "Hmph." She huffed and then stopped pouting once John said: "Stop poutin', darlin!" He said as Peggy just blushed more and more. "Alrightt.." She whined and let go of her pout, "We can share the flan pudding maybe!" She said happily and John nodded, "Sure thing." He said and smiled, Peggy nodded, the waiter jotted down what they both wanted and smiled, "Coming right up!" They said and walked off, Peggy smiled and then looked at John, "Soo.. Whatcha wanna talk abouttt.." She said and John shrugged, "How much I love you-" He blurted out. Peggy almost choked on her spit, "Wait.. What?" She said and looked at him while John basically went red. "..How much I love you..? " He said and chuckled nervously. Peggy looked at him, and felt her face getting a bit hot, and it was indeed going red. She looked at him and chuckled nervously. "I-" She was at a loss for words. And then just took a deep breath. "I love you too John.." She said and looked at him, At this point, John was red faced, and Peggy was too. "Really?" He said and looked at her, and Peggy nodded.

"Lately, I've been in a haze, Running late, can't think straight.. The world feels smaller, yet the trees look taller, there's enchantment in the air! I know I sound stupid, I do.."
