Falling...into the Dark.

Jake.

The bell to our freedom rang. Yes it was the last day of our examination. As soon as the papers were submitted the school echoed with hoots and roars. Yes the final year was over. I got out of my class in search of my love.
I saw her taking out her things from the locker. I slowly went up to her and hugged her from behind. Her body stiffened but then relaxed as she sensed me.
"You scared me there for a minute" she said facing me.
"Why? You thought it was someone else? If someone even dares of thinking of doing this I will...."
"Jake!" She glared.
"Okay okay sorry...no violence as promised"
She smiled and that calmed me down. She always calmed me down.

"So finally it's over" she said getting into the car.
"Yeah finally...no more staying away from you" I kissed her knuckles. I could feel her shiver. I love that I have such an effect on her. It's a huge turn on.
"You are going to be with me the entire day today" I said starting the engine.
"Oh I forgot to tell you. Mom wants to take me shopping for my graduation dress today. Sorry"
I could hear my heart crack a little. I so wanted to spend time with her after so long but then seeing her make that cute apologetic face just brought a smile to my face.
"So I assume you are not angry?" She asked.
"Can I ever be?"
She just smiled knowing what the answer is.
"But then I'm going to be stuck with you until you go for shopping." I said raising my eyebrows.
"Umm..in my home?"
"Yes..am a sticky boyfriend. Deal with it"
"I love sticky people" she winked.
"But first lunch" I said as I stopped near a restaurant.

"I could have cooked something at home Jake" she said as we took our seats.
"No. We haven't been on a date in a while and today is the perfect day"
"It looks expensive" she said running her eyes around.
"Baby doll you just need to run your eyes through the menu"
She pouted at me and I swear if no one was in this restaurant I would have taken her down right here in this very table.

A tall girl came to our table to take the order.
"What would you like to eat sir?" She said.

Alice Mayor.

"Umm...love?" I asked Alice before I actually decide to eat her.
"A cheese pasta will do...thanks" she said giving the most fake smile in the world.
The waitress rolled her eyes and went away.
"Woah...what was that?" I asked.
"That was for bending way too low than it was necessary...she nearly pushed her boobs into your face"  she scoffed.
I laughed. I loved seeing her this way. So annoyed... well when not at me.
"I didn't even look at her" I said in defence.
"I saw that" she smiled. I pulled her chair and kissed her.
Lunch was perfect. I didn't eat much as I was busy staring at her while she ate. I wouldn't have missed that for anything. If there was an award for the cutest thing on Earth then she would definitely be the winner.

By the time we reached her home I could see she was pretty tired. I scooped her into my arms the moment we got in.
"Jake what are you doing?" She laughed.
"Just giving my baby doll some rest" I kissed her forehead.
I carried her into her room. She squealed as I jumped into the bed with her. She was still in her place looking at me.
"What are you looking at?" I asked.
"You. I'm thinking what did I do to deserve this?" She whispered.
I pulled her close until I could feel her delicious breath on my face.
"It's you baby doll. It's all you. Every time I see you, hear you or even think of you it makes me feel like the luckiest person ever. It's like I have got the privilege to hold you, to kiss you, to wipe your tears, to stare at you, to make love to you but above all I get to be loved by you. Do you know how lucky that makes me?"
She smiled shyly. I could see her cheeks turning red. Red. My favourite colour ever since I met her.
We lay down in silence for a long time. There was no touching but just looking into each other's eyes. We were touching each other's souls and that was the best feeling.
