Our Night On Valentine's Day

To Be With You

Jack was running. He was still in his sporty outfit - a singlet and shorts. Sport's Day was just over and he still wanted to get sweaty. His Adidas sneakers felt light as ever and his body felt like it was lifted by the wind. He was fast. All the poles, cars - every obstacle in front of him, he could avoid them with ease.

Jack slowed down when he was about to reach the destination. He didn't stop at all. He didn't try to catch his breath. He just ran into the building. Into Tooth Palace.

The place was packed with patients but he didn't take a pause. He avoided them all just like he avoided the cars and poles.

"Hey, you need to check in here first!" The girl at the counter shouted but he could barely hear her over the people talking. He didn't think twice before barging in the dental room where the dentist do their works.

And, there she was, helping the dentist. Her back facing him. She turned around like she was in a slow motion. Her eyes blinked slowly, making her eyelashes look longer. Her glasses looked shiny, her precious hair waving and her lips stayed parted, surprised to see him especially in that outfit. His small abs were showing a little and his tiny biceps looked perfect. His sweat dripping onto the floor, and the fragrance room was filled with his body odour.

"Toothiana." He panted, tired of running. He bent over and placed both hands on his knees as the dentist and the patient stared at him blankly, thinking, 'what on Earth is happening?' Toothiana eyes were dazling, waiting for what he was about to say.

Jack stood up, his face was all scrunched up. He didn't actually hace the script to what to say but he went with the flow like the wind lifted him when he ran. "People say-" He looked at her with teary eyes. He was afraid of her not accepting him after he just ran for what felt like a kilometre. Eventually he got his words. "- that if you're stuck between loving two people, choose the second one." Toothiana looked at him with teary eyes. She didn't expect him to like her. She didn't exactly know that he likes her. She constantly shook the thought off everytime she thinks that he likes her.

She did like him back then but that was before they go into separate ways. But Jack had been liking her all that while, he just didn't realise it till they grew apart.

"Because if you really loved the first one, you wouldn't have fallen for the second." Toothiana's heart might shatter into pieces which seemed like she still had feelings for him. Jack was saying that he should choose Elsa over her but she couldn't say anything because he wasn't finnish explaining his point.

"What's going on-" The dentist shushed the patient, admiring the two youngsters.

"But I think that's just wrong. Because all this while when I've been with Elsa, you never leave my mind." Jack stared into her eyes like he always did whenever he says something meaningful. "Tooth," he said with a serious, handsome look. "Date me." He stepped closer to Toothiana.

The opened door of the room caused a lot of patients outside and the girl at the counter just now to tune in to their conversation.

"Because I love you Tooth." Toothiana's white shiny teeth could be seen when she smiled. She nodded a yes as she cried happily before hugging Jack into an embrace.

The people there clapped their hands and whistled and squealed as though there was a band playing music. The dentist was too excited for the new couple and let Toothiana have the night off, saying that she needed a break after working really hard these past few years.

The two lovebirds ran outside the building as they hold hands, towards exactly nowhere, thinking that as long as they're with each other, they don't need a specific place to go to.
