I Wish

Chapter One: The Ride

 Mirella POV: (Italics are flashbacks)

I drive home. In silence. I can't help but think about you again. I don't know why...but I always do at this time of year. I think it's the trees, blooming in pink and green. You said "I love you" for the first time there, and I go back to it today. 

"M."  He says, "M!"

"huh?" I ask, snapping out of my trance," 

"I asked if you wanted to do this thing Friday?"

"Oh. Yeah, Sure."

"Really?" he mocks me, "Oh. Yeah. Suuuurrre." I smile softly. 

"Yes. I would LOVE to do this THING Friday." 

"Thank God." he says, grinning, "So...about the OTHER thing..."

"That other thing is no mere thing! It's PROM!" I reply indignately, "And I'm not going with you until you ask me correctly."

"Fine." He grins. "Mirella Camilla, will you go...to prom with me?" he fakes some tears while on one knee.  I sigh. 

"Whatever." I say, smiling, "But you have to wear a tuxedo." He fakes a frown. 

"Nope. Not good enough. Say it right." Now the shoes on the other foot. 

"Fine." I grin. "Oh Ryan! Yes! I'd LOVE that!" I grin again. "Happy?"

"Yes" he replies softly, whispering into my hair, "Come here." He pulls me tight, we kiss, and I feel those sparks I've felt every day since I met my Ryan. "You know something?" He asks me, "I think..." he pauses, letting the spring air fill the silence, "I think I love you." he smiles softly into my long brown hair. "Yeah, I do." he corrects himself. "I love you M." 

My face lights up. "Oh Ryan," I sigh, "I love you too." 

Then I knew. I was in love. 

He pulls me close again, and we kiss. I sigh, and reluctantly pull away. "You know I have to go," I whisper sadly, "I love you Ryan." 

"I love you too Mir."

I sigh and turn away, and as I go to leave and return home, a single pink flower falls from the tree and into my hair. I smile, this must be a sign. "We will never part." I whisper, quoting a poem Ryan wrote, and although I didn't know it, behind me, my love whispered as well, 

"For you are what makes my heart beat on."

*****A/N: I really hope everyone enjoys, I will post small bits every night (I hope), but anyway, anything I can fix? Let me know, I really appreciate it! 

Love ya'll,

Maggie
