Max & Remmy

Locklynn's Foster Home.

Max.

I sit on my boom boom and look up at the big tree in front of me. It's my favorite tree in the world. Ms. Capington says it's a weeping willow tree. I've never seen a tree cry, so I've been staring at the weeping willow trying to catch it crying. I guess it dosen't like to cry in front of people. I can understand that, the only person I've ever willingly cried in front of is Remmy. I bet Ms. Capington has seen a weeping willow cry, that lady can make anyone cry.

I blow a black curl away from my mouth, not wanting to taste it. I end up doing just that. I pull my hair off my tongue and begin to laugh at myself. Out of nowhere Remmy comes up from behind me and sits next to me. I smile at him. He smiles back. My smile grows wider when I see the two ring pops in his hands.

"Remmy! can I pretty please with a cherry on top have one!" I beg with my big brown puppy dog eyes.

"Um I don't know, what do I get if I give you one?"

"I'll be your best friend"

"But we're already best friends, right?" he whispered the last part.

"Oh yea, of course we are!" I reassured him.

"Ooo, I know what you can do!"

"What?"

"You could marry me." He said with as a sweet smile crept on his face.

"Why?" I asked confused

"Because when big people like each other they get married, and I like you a lot."

"I like you a lot too, but don't big people kiss on the lips? I don't want to get cooties." I say while trying to hold back my giggles.

"Your afraid of cooties?"

"I don't know..." I say a bit worried.

"Okay I'll just kiss you on the cheek then"

"Okay" I say nervously and close my eyes shut tight preparing for the touchier of a boy kissing me.

"Wait! I have to give you your ring first!" Remmy whines causing me to open my eyes. I can't help but giggle as he slides one ring pop on my finger and the other on his finger.

"Okay here we go I'm going to kiss you now"

"Okay" I say and embrace for impact. It never comes. I open my eyes and turn to face Remmy.

"Why didn't you k-" I was cut of by Remmy gently placing his lips against mine.

After a few seconds we break away looking into each others eyes. Remmy breaks the silence first.

"So...."

My brain feels like mush and my tummy is tingling. I finally manage to pull myself together and shout.

"EW COOTIES!" I run away from Remmy, headed to the house, with my ring pop still on my finger, and no doubt Remmy chasing after me. I wouldn't have it any other way.....for now.
