We sat on the small bench in the courtyard, and just stayed silent.
It was fairly late, and we could hear several crickets out in the distance. Everything else though, was completely peaceful and still.
"I'm surprised you didn't bring B along." I stated. With a complete straight face.
"Yeah, I think I'd rather just be with you for now. Are you mad?" He asked. Fairly carefully.
I stated I wasn't.
I really wasn't actually. Not mad, more... Jealous, or annoyed than mad.
He kept asking if I was sure, and I kept saying that I wasn't.
"Good." He replied. "I got you this, just to say I'm sorry."
He held out a small, little box in the palm of his hand, and wiggled it a little bit as if to tell me to take it. I opened it, and there was a necklace, with a charm, that had two silver hearts on it.
I grinned, and stared at him for a moment.
He told me to turn around, which I did, and he took the necklace and hooked it around my neck.
It was subtle, but beautiful.
It was then, that I realized, he's a huge blessing.
He then asked me, if I wanted to go out with him.
He looked amazing. He was wearing a teal, and dark purple coloured plaid shirt, and a small gold chain around his neck, with a perfect pair of loose, dark jeans. He looked perfect.
"Of course." I replied.
He smiled, and giggled, and he grabbed me, stood me up, and held me. So tight, that I could barely breathe. It was lovely.
