Meet... Little Miss Quiet

Chapter 11: The greatest moment of my life

The 14th of August at about 5:55pm was in fact the greatest moment of my life, the girl of my dreams had agreed to go out with me and kissed me whilst fireworks painted the sky.

The image replayed over and over again, imprinted into my brain, I always felt every touch, every feeling and every zap of ecstasy.

But...that still doesn't explain how I ended up here...oh, wait! It does.

The crowds of classmates surrounded us as I held Janice's relaxed hand, questions and comments were thrown at us.

We were always known as a wonder couple, but no one believed it would come true...So of course, our admirers and ---MY--- fans bombarded us with snide comments and strange questions.
Making it to class on time was a HUGE challenge, like trying to travel through muddy Rapids, thick and dangerous.

We returned to our usual positions as if we were stuck repeating every school day...

I watched Janice from afar as she completed her work, but nobody yelled or screamed or commented...because we were a couple! I have dreamed of saying those words and now to finally be able to called Janice and I an official couple is just...Amazeballs!

"Hey, Ren?"

"Yes, Jan-Jan?" I raised her hand and kissed it as I waited for the rest of it

"My parents want to meet you, already." She blankly removed her hand from mine and began to eat her sandwich, "I told mum then she told dad...Also dad is pissed and wants to see if you're 'worthy'" I laughed a silent laugh as I watched her air quotes, half-assed air quotes.
"Next week Monday?" I was prepared to meet her parents although we've only been dating a day...
"No, what about Friday?"
" Yep!"
Janice texted her parents, "done."
I leaned over and kissed her cheek, resting my head on her shoulder.

I felt Fiddled with the lock as Janice leaned against the locker next to mine, as I opened the for I noticed a pink envelope with a heart sticker, "Don't people get I'm in love with you?"

Janice shrugged and placed her hand on my wrist as I began to scrunch it, " Don't. It'll be better to let her down easy."

Isn't she jealous? I must've said that aloud because Janice spoke a heartbreaking no. I no longer cared, I tore the letter in half, soon I was grabbing my girlfriend's hand and leaving the building.

I Sighed a heavy sigh, looking down at the cute, redheaded five-year old who sat on lap, listening intently to my story. I smiled, playing with the ends of her hair, " And that was the tale of the first person I cared for..."

"Twhat wappened tru you?" The adorable little girl frowned, confused as to why the story was half complete, "Did you bwreak pup?"
I shook my head, finding it rather funny as she guesses the ending, but panic quickly slapped her face, "Did Shwe die?!"

"No, she never died, no need to worry!"

I continued to play with her hair, " ith thwat never wappened thwen...Whawt aawout mummy?"

I turned to the doorway, my beautiful red-headed wife leaned against the doorpost, holding the other child,
"I married Janice, Janice is mummy"

The corner of Janice's mouth reveals gentle, no longer deadpanned smile as the five year old on my lap ran to greet her mummy...

Are you happy with the ending?

Well don't be...

Because...

It's just the beginning...
