Esmeralda's POV- October 2016
"Shouldn't you be on a diet?" I asked Auston who added some chocolate to his Frozen Yogurt.
He glanced up and smiled.
"This can be our little secret"
I added two cherries onto my Frozen yogurt.
"I'm not the only one who has a sweet tooth"
"I never denied my sweet tooth" I stated as he looked at the Gummie bears and M&Ms on my yogurt.
"Done?"
I nodded and followed him to the register where I place my cup of yogurt next to his. He pulled out his credit card and handed it to the man in front of the register.
"Have a nice day"
"Thanks, you too" I told the man as Auston handed me my yogurt.
He reached for my hand and led me to a table.
"Do your feet hurt?"
"A little" I admitted.
Auston nodded slowly.
"Why don't you take them off?"
I laughed and shook my head.
"Nope, I chose to wear them" I stated.
"You've got your other shoes in the car"
"I'm fine" I told him.
I sat down and placed my yogurt on the table as Auston sat next to me. I looked at him when he placed his hand on my knee.
"Are you having a good time?"
"Of course" I answered.
He smiled and took a bite of his frozen yogurt.
"You were right"
"About?" I asked before I took a bite of my yogurt.
"This is much better desert and it's actually healthier"
He lightly nudged me and I smiled as he leaned in.
"We've got much more privacy too"
I nodded and closed my eyes as he kissed me. I opened my eyes when he pulled away a bit, and I smiled as I looked at his eyes. Auston's eyes were dark brown, but now that I was incredibly close to him I could see the light honey color surrounding his iris.
"You have really pretty eyes" I stated.
His eyes crinkled as he smiled.
"You're the one with blue eyes"
I smiled.
"You know everyone is born with blue eyes and technically everyone has brown eyes" I told him.
"Yeah?"
I nodded as he pulled away.
"As you grow, the melanin in your eye accumulates. Your eyes have more of it than mine, which is why mine are blue" I told him.
"Melanin also determines hair and skin color, right?"
"Yes" I said earing a grin from him.
I reached over and pushed a lose strand that was on his forehead as he ate his yogurt.
"You told me to stop telling you this, but you look beautiful"
I smiled and lightly shoved him.
"What time is it?" I asked him.
"Almost 10PM"
I nodded and ate some of my yogurt.
"So how does it feel to be almost 21?"
I shrugged.
"I mean I could already legally drink here already" I told him.
He laughed and nodded.
"I'm kind of thankful that I'm here though" I admitted.
"Why?"
"Because I can actually remember what I did the night before my 21st birthday" I stated.
He smiled.
"So you're saying you'd probably be trashed by now?"
I shook my head.
"Not yet, it's 7PM over there" I said earning a chuckle from him.
"So you would be getting ready to get trashed"
I nodded.
"Exactly" I told him.
"Did you imagine you'd be spending the night before your birthday like this?"
I ate some yogurt and sighed as I looked at Auston.
"I ate really yummy food, had real nice company, and I'm eating Frozen yogurt. I think this is a real nice way to spend the night before my birthday" I said.
He smiled and nodded as I pulled the stem from the cherry.
"I'm nice to be around"
"All 6'3 of you" I informed him as he leaned in.
"That's nice to know"
I laughed and closed my eyes as he kissed me. My eyes snapped open as his tongue went inside my mouth.
"You stole my cherry" I stated as he pulled away.
No guy had ever stuck their tongue in my mouth and if they had tried I would have probably punched them, yet I didn't mind that Auston's tongue was in my mouth.
"You taste really fruity"
His tongue tasted like chocolate.
A/N: I will be out of town most of next week, so I will try to post twice a day starting Monday.
