What would I do without your smart mouth? Drawing me in and you kicking me out...
I was never a fan of the art form, but the first time I saw you dance along with that John Legend song gave me chills, as if every gesture you do gently touches my skin. I'm now a fan. I left my diffidence on my seat and approached you with a shaky voice... "Can I have a picture with you?"
1... 2... 3... say cheese!
You didn't just left me with a stunned mind after your performance... you left me with a memory. A droplet of your sweat fell into my arms during that encounter, and the scent of your perfume still lingers up to now.
A week after that prom night, a bouquet of red roses was served together with my breakfast. My mom told me, "Kate, I guess this one's for you. Do you know someone with a name of Raven?" I responded with a smile. "I guess my little princess is ready to meet her prince charming, huh?", she added.
As I was looking through the beauty of the flowers, I found a note in the middle of them...
"7:00 pm tonight. See you at the park! :)"
You're my downfall, you're my muse. My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues...
Time flew fast. Before I was a fan, who eventually became a lover. We've been through ups and downs, and now we're about to celebrate our 3rd Anniversary. I dressed as simple as I could, because that's what you want. I arrived 10 minutes ahead of time, at the park where we used to meet. I was very excited on where will we celebrate this time, because you've promised to take me into a place I never imagined the two of us would be into. I've been waiting for about 2 hours, and there was no sign of you coming anymore. I called you a hundred times, none of them was answered.
I drove my way back home, and to my surprise, the doors were locked and lights were off. Good thing, I have a duplicate of the keys. With my anger, I wasn't able to read my Mom's text that says...
"Honey, we're here at the hotel. I didn't know Raven was the son of the owner! Isn't it nice? He told us to enjoy the night for this would serve as his advance gift for my birthday. Be safe there! I and your dad would just spend time together. We love you!"
Seriously? 3 years in a relationship? You didn't tell me about that f*cking hotel you have and managed to talk to my mom the entire night, and you didn't answer any of my calls. Was it me or my mom you consider as your girlfriend?
I opened the door, turned on the lights, and a man from behind hugged me tight and whispered...
"I love you, honey! Happy 3rd Anniversary."
That soft voice immediately removed my anger. It was as soft as your lips kissing my neck, making me weak. Your hands were going to places they have never been before. You pushed me on the wall and undressed the entirety of me. Should I just let you do that?!
Of course, not. I did the same, grabbed your head and bit your lip. And the rest was history.
