I'll Always Remember [COMPLETE]

I'll Always Remember; Chapter 26

It has been weeks since Christian last talked to me - days since I received that letter. What's this something important he mentioned anyway? I tried talking to him but he never answer me, I sigh

I arrived home from school, exhausted. 

I open the door with the spare key Auntie gave me.

"Hey" someone call, I look around before opening the door. "Christian?" I say, looking at him. I thought I'll still wait for him? 

"Come with me" he says, holding my wrist."Where are we going?" I ask out of curiosity. "You'll see" he replies, we walked towards a car - Mrs. Lautner's car, parked not too far from the house. 

"Put this on" he says, handing me black bandanna. "What am i-"

"Just put it on your eyes" he whisper, helping me to put it on and guides me inside the car.

After 10minutes of riding, I heard the car's door open. I think Christian just went outside. The door on my side opened, he guided me outside the car. His hands are sweating.

He removed my bandanna, I open my eyes.

It's a garden, a wonderful garden that match the night sky. There are red and yellow-colored christmas lights hang on the trees. There's a patio, with a table for two. A small fountain not too far from it. The garden have beautiful red and white roses. There are also fireflies, actual fireflies - astonishing

"Come" he says, holding my hands. I can't say a thing, I'm speechless, he escort me to my chair. "What's the occasion?" I ask, looking at him. "Your birthday" he answer, it's still the month of August. "I know it's August, think of today as your birthday, Belated Happy Birthday" he adds

"Why?" I ask, laughingly. "You should've said so. So I can wear a better dress" I continue. He stare at me, with his sparkling and mesmerizing sapphire eyes. "I want to do something wonderful for you." he pause "you don't need to wear a wonderful dress, you're beautiful already"

That's the first time he compliment me, I feel my heart flutter.

A music started to play, we we're both young when I first saw you.. 

"Taylor Swift?" I ask, chuckling. He nods, "the lyrics are awesome." he winks.

"Let's eat" he says, "Dinner is ready" someone says formally - it's Mrs. Lautner.

"Mrs. Lautner, why're you here?" I ask, she smiled at me. "Christian asked me to help him" 

She brought a Roast beef, Poutine, Butter tart and a Four season drink in a cocktail glass. She left after serving the foods.
