No Matter What || #Wattys2016

CHAPTER 5

I had to lie to my friends. I just didn't feel like telling them and creating a big fuss.

I was at our meeting spot, looking around for him.

"Hi, Mary" a soft voice said from behind. The universe froze and his voice was the only thing that mattered, the only thing that made sense in this little world. I enjoyed every second of it but tried not to show it too much.

"So, are you ready?" He asked.

"Uhm...yes"

We went to the park in front of us. There were very few people, a woman with two kids and a girl playing the guitar sitting under a huge tree.

We sat on the grass, which had been recently cut, you could tell by the smell of it. There were some small milky-pink flowers that had fallen from the tree next to us.

"Ok. Let's start with trigonometry..." I said, trying to sound casual.

"Ok. So if the this is the opposite side and the one over there is the hypotenuse, but you want to find that angle..." I looked up and he was staring at me.

"Am I going too fast?"

"No. It's just... too much math..." he was still staring "Do mind walking around the park with me for a while?"

We started walking. The woman with the two kids had left.

"So...how are you?" he asked unexpectedly.

"Me? Fine, I suppose." I blushed.

"What do you like the most: movies or books?"

"Books, I guess..." I could listen to the lady playing the guitar. It was a nice, calm song.

"I prefer movies. There's this one I wanted to watch, the one with the ship...uhm..."

"Titanic!" we both said at the same time. We smiled, blushed and looked down. We stopped under a huge tree with lots of tiny milky-pink flowers.

"Yeah, I also wanted to watch it" I said. Something fell on my head. Something light. He grabbed it. It was a flower. He came closer and put it gently behind my ear.

We looked into each other's eyes. His were a liquid brown, sort of creamy. He came one step closer. His nose was almost touching mine. I felt more flowers falling on me, but I ignored them. My heart was pounding quickly. I could feel every single warm breath, as he came even closer. The song was still playing. I closed my eyes, while his hand carefully pushed my mouth into his, and our lips finally touched. One thing led to another. I felt as if I could keep on doing that forever, as I relished every second of it.

He pressed my waist into his. A part of me said that it was enough but I didn't want to stop. It was amazing. The song ended, so we stopped kissing and looked into each other's eyes. He was covered in flowers, I was probably too.

Suddenly, a noise came from the bushes. I turned quickly and Robin took a step back. But there was nothing.
