The Bad Girl And Good Boy

CHAPTER 17 (It's your birthday?)

      MARC'S POV:
             After that little escapade I pulled with my dear little I finally reach home. A day spent with Jewel is a day well spent. I just like her so much, will I ever be able to confess to her one day or is it going to be like that one sided love story where I'll only attend her marriage and cry to sleep over a bottle of wine. I push the image out of my brain and suddenly got uneasy, why can't my life be any simpler. I reach out to the kitchen and start baking a cake, cute. When I'm in the middle of choosing between chocolate and vanilla I decided to video call her.
              I called her on the messenger video call and she picked up the call within seconds as if she was expecting it. "Hola" I say as she wipes her eyes, looks like she was sleeping. "Hola" she answered with her drowsy eyes and cutely smiled at me. "So what are you up too" she asked, "well I'm baking a cake" I say as I show her that I'm clearly baking. "Oh my god" she exclaimed and I couldn't help but smile. "You wanna come over?" I ask. "On my way babes" to that word I was again officially a tomato.
                  It's almost 11:30 in the night and jewel knocks the door I jump to open the door and she is at the door in her shorts and top ,robs my heart everytime, every single time. She comes and sits on my couch and I go sit next to her. "Oh my god damsel your house is smelling heavenly what have you baked?" "Well check for your self" I say she jumps and see's that I have baked a chocolate cake with caramel icing on top. She takes the cake and brings it in the hall and when I decided to hog in she stops me. "Hey I baked it to eat it" I say confused "Its just not a good time to have it sweets" she says and I sigh in defeat. "So do you want anything to drink?" I ask "Some wine please" I jump in the father's bar. Damn I've never been here. I just choose any bottle and run back to her. I pour some for her. "Here you go" I say "why don't you try some?" She says and I'm definitely in "I've never drank it before but ill try" she smiles and gives me the glass and I take a sip and suddenly realise it's extremely bloody good.
          Soon I and her are giggling and laughing because we both are intoxicated enough. "And then I fell so hard on my butt.. hahahaha" she again erupts into a fit of laughter and can't hold back and start laughing again and nearly fell off bed and there we again start laughing. I saw the time it's 12:00am "Well I guess...." I fail my words when she replies "What" she asks "well happy birthday to me I guess" she is stunned for a moment "It's your birthday" she says barely a whisper I'm surprised I even heard it. "Where is your family? Your friends?" She asks and I just shrugged "this is how I celebrate my birthday every year". "Happy birthday Damsel" she says as she squeezes my hand and I hold her hand and we sit like that just silent enjoying each others company. She suddenly gets up and goes near the cake brings it back and brings a knife. "LETS CELEBRATE" She exclaims and I'm laughing at her naivety but I love it. She hands me the knife and starts with the song "happy birthday day to you" by the end I feed her a little piece of cake and she feeds me back and she suddenly she declares "Damsel we are leaving in a bit get ready". Without question I jump into the plan. I do want to start living my life for once and I know I want jewel by my side.
             We are currently walking on the empty roads of DC and moving towards the central park. "Where are we going buttercup" I say and she smiles widely her pearly whites showing. "You called me buttercup!, I've never been called buttercup before" she says and we reach near the closed gates of the park. "It's closed let's head back" I say and as I'm on the verge of leaving she pulls me back and already is climbing the gates of the park and goes in with ease before I say anything I find myself following her tracks. We sit on one of the swings. "This is where I come at night if I'm really sad or happy" she says and I'm happy that she is discussing this with me. Suddenly she smiles and tells me to wait for it "wait for what" I say as I see a firefly pass by and I look at her "you got me to see fireflies?" I say and I'm nearly in tears but do not show her. "You deserve to see them taking into consideration that you are the firefly of my life" I chuckled "how is that?" "Maybe because you light up my dark days" she says and I'm sitting there taking in the beautiful scenery of fireflies all around me.
           She puts the soft music on, on her phone and I suddenly realise that I've been looking into her eyes since and so is she. "You know you are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen I say meaning every single word that left my mouth and she smiles and slowly leans in and I know what's coming next. I lean in too with my hands clammy and heart beating so fast. I could feel her breath on my nose and our lips touched and a current like thing passed my body my knees felt week and a thousand butterflies errupted in my stomach. I closed my eyes and she placed her hand on my cheeks and I pulled me closer and willing let her do it. I placed my hand on her neck and started caressing it.

          We broke the lip contact and kept our temples connected and stayed there. She smiled and looked right in my eyes. "This was my kiss" I say and she is surprised "Really?" "Yes, but it was perfect" I say as I kiss her forehead once again and to my surprise she closed her eyes while I was doing so. "Happy birthday Damsel "she said again and I just looked at her like a goof thinking how the heck did I get so lucky with her being in my life.
