It was Tuesday afternoon on the 15th of November and I was in love. I watch as Will walks towards me, the beginnings of his gorgeus smile beaming out towards me. I feel so lucky. I don't deserve this wonderful boy smiling across the parking lot at me, and yet there he is, in all his beautiful entirety. "How was school?" he asks as he kisses the top of my head and envelops me in a one arm hug. "Same old stuff. I had double Chem, which sucked, but oh well!" I smile. "Well, I had an awesome day!" Will teases. "And why's that?" I ask, curiosity nagging at me. "Because I have you," he says, and then he's kissing me and the world drops away, and all I can think of is him. After what seems like hours he pulls away, and as I'm struggling to catch my breath he says, "What do you wanna do now?" I grin, and climb into my car, because he already knows what I want.
When we arrive at Seaweed Joe's, I breath in the familiar smell and smile. Seaweed Joe's may look like a run down old diner by the beach, but really it's the best place in the whole world. Will and I have been going there since our first date, where the waitress spilt chocolate milkshake all over me, and then to top it off she accidently dumped a giant icecream cone on Will's head. This may sound like a complete nightmare, but to us it was the best day of our lives. After we had wiped all the icecream and milkshake away Will and I spent the rest of the night lying together in our place, just talking and talking about anything and everything. After that night, I knew that he was the one.
"What do you want?" asks Will, jolting me out of my revelrie. "Um, the usual," I blush, and he smiles and orders us both a cheeseburger, fries and a milkshake to share. "Hopefully this time the wait staff won't cover us both with our meals," laughs Will, and we share covert smiles, thinking back to that magical night. "What do you wanna do this weekend?" I ask, and he pauses to consider. "What about the movies, or a picnic in the Dandenongs?" he suggests, and I think about these options. "Well, I'm not free on that afternoon, but maybe we could go see a movie Saturday night?" I say. "Sounds perfect, I'm itching with anticipation already!" he teases, and my cheeks glow red. An hour later, we're sitting together in the booth, me nestled in the warm folds of his arms, feeling full and contented. "Sorry to cut this short, but I have to go," says Will, and my heart fills with sadness. We get up, pay the waitress, and then we're back in my car driving home.
When we get to Will's house, he leans across to kiss me, and then, just when I want him the most, he's climbing out of the car and walking up to the front door. "See you tomorrow!" I call after him, and he turns around and smiles. Then he's gone and I'm driving home.
