You Came Back: Eleanor and Park

Good News Eleanor's POV

"Eleanor?" My uncle Geoff called loudly.
"Yeah?" I half yell back.
"Your mother is on the phone!" He said. My mom hasn't called in two months.

I walk over to the phone and grab it. I put it up next to my ear slowly.

"Hello?" I say
"Hi Eleanor." I hear a soft, familiar voice say. I can sense Park behind me.
"Eleanor, so Richie and I got a divorce a while ago, and since then I've gotten a job." My mom says.
"Wow mom that's great, actually." I say happily.
"I was wondering, if over the summer you'd like to move back to the house and go back to your old school." She says excitedly.

It takes me minute to think this over, for I have made a few friends here, but I miss my family.

"Absolutely." I say
"Great, I'll call you at the end of school and tell you the plans in more detail." She beams.
"Okay, bye mom." I say
"Love you Eleanor, bye." She says mistily. And hangs up.

I turn around to Park, who seems to have heard every word he smiles, his face slowly melts, and underneath lays a refreshed, happier face. The smile reaches his eyes. My park is back.

"I'll get to spend senior year with you." I say dreamily.
"Yes you will, and then many years beyond that."he responds.
"This calls for celebration." I say and grin.
"Let's go outside." He says

I follow. We sit outside in the green, lush lawn. His skin is beautiful, that same color of sunshine shining through honey. His green eyes relaxed. I'm just staring at him, until I feel something touch my hand. He runs circles on the back of my hand with his thumb.

"You're taller." He says, looking me up and down. I feel myself blush.

Before I can respond his lips are pressed against mine, this soft and innocent kiss ignites a match inside me, and warmth spreads all over my body.  My Park, my amazing Park, I belong to him now, actually, I think I always have.
