This Time...I Loved You

Chapter 7: This Is Real

~ Wendy's POV ~

On Monday night, when I went to bed at about 10:30, my dreams were beautiful. One of them was me and Pablo walking and holding hands through the cherry blossoms of Japan. Or somewhere like that.

And I thought, "This must be real..."

But, alas, it wasn't..it was yet another dream.

-----------------------

When I woke up on Tuesday morning, got dressed, and got on my bus, it wasn't long until I got to school. To my dismay, though, Ainsley wasn't here today. Later on, I heard that she was sick. Today I ended up not having a lunch buddy.

I wasn't surprised when Pablo walked up to me in the hallway.

I stopped.

Then he stopped.

Pablo didn't even speak. He just kissed my cheek, swept me off of my feet and twirled me around. Finally, he put me down. It seemed like an act of love to the whole school, as they watched in awe. We made quite the scene, if I do say so myself.

I realized my only chance was now. "I love you," I whispered.

Pablo was cut off. Then he smiled, "I have the perfect thing for you. Meet me in the gardens during lunch."

That afternoon during lunch period, I was very excited. What could Pablo have prepared for me? I hoped he felt the same way I did..

Finally, the moment came.

Pablo stood in front of me, and he held up a sign that said, "I love you. Be mine forever💚💜"

I gasped with joy, and immediately squealed, "Ohmigosh, of course!!"

The next moment felt like slow motion. Pablo grinned, dropped the sign, and ran toward me. I ran too. When We met, I hugged him tight. Then, we let go and kissed. It was a miracle...not only to me, but to our classmates. I think some teachers were watching, or at least the ones who had known the 'rumor' of Pablo's crush. Next, he took 8 or so pink carnations for me to wear as a flower crown to go with my uniform. Finally, he took my hand and walked me to my next class just in time.

"This is real ," I told myself, "This is real. I'm not dreaming!!!"

----------------------

When I got home that night, I told Mom and Dad the exciting news.

"Now, did Ainsley help you?" Mom assumed. "I want you to get things done on your own sometimes, hon."

"No, mother dearest," I said in my best formal accent, making everyone laugh,"I did it myself, she was sick today."

"Well, congrats!" Dad told me,"just tell him not to mess with daddy's little girl." He said that and then ruffled my hair.

"Don't worry, I promise I will be fine," I assured him.

"Well, dinner is ready. Want a hot dog or a-" Mom tried to ask me, but I already had my answer.

"HOT DOG!!! C'mon, Mom! You know I love hot dogs!!" I squealed.

"Haha, yes sweetie, I know. I was just playing with ya,"

It was a peaceful night for me. And day. Now I have a boyfriend and my hot dogs. My favorite food. Nothing could be better.

Wendy's problem is technically solved, but what will go on with the relationship?

Will they ever break up?

Comment what you think will happen! I think I might need some fresh ideas for my next few chapters.
