Today was Josh and I three month anniversary, but I didn't make a big deal out of it. Yes, I was happy and extremely excited, though I didn't want to freak him out by caring so much. It's been the happiest months of my life and I don't even regret for a millisecond starting over. Right now, I was waiting in the living room for my boyfriend to pick me up so we could watch Jenni's fashion show. I was excited to see her modeling, something other than acting she's always loved.

By the first knock on the door, I was up and over to it. I smoothed out my clothes and opened the door with a smile.
"Hello gorgeous," he said, pulling me by my waist into a hug. He always smelt so damn good.
"Hey," I said back, smiling up at him. The tingle in my lips when he kissed me still felt electrifying, not to mention the weakness in my legs.
"How are you feeling today?" Josh asked as he linked our fingers together.
"Pretty great now," I replied, swinging our hands while walking down the hallway.
"Do you want to drive?" Josh asked as we got to the parking lot.
"Uhm, what?" I questioned, stopping dead in my tracks. He cracked a smile and threw me the keys.
"I trust you!" He got into the car and left me standing there. Sure I've driven before and have my license, but never a giant SUV, in a city. Slowly I got to the drivers side and literally jumped into the seat, then readjusted it along with the mirrors.

"At least its not a standard," he said, trying to make me feel better. I laughed nervously and backed out of the parking spot.
"I'm so scared," I whined, coming to the first stop light. He laughed and ran his big hand over my smooth leg.
"Do you want me to drive?"
"No, I'll be okay," I said, smiling over at him. He smiled back and kept his hand on my thigh. I didn't mind, it felt warm and made me calm. He gave me directions to the building Jennifer was in. I got there without a problem and as soon as I shut off the vehicle, I sighed.
"See, that wasn't that bad now was it?" Josh asked as I came around the other side of the car. I smiled and shook my head, wrapping my arms around his neck to put my lips against his. He lifted me up from around my waist and spun me around, causing me to burst out into giggles.

We were seated in the front of the catwalk, people were already crowding around.
"Look, babe. We have the same shoes on!" Josh pulled out his phone and put our feet together, then took a picture. I smiled up at him and kissed him again. If I could spend my whole life just fucking kissing this kid, believe me, I would.
Soon enough the lights dimmed and music started, some woman over the microphone introducing the models and designers. I thought all of the clothes looked ridiculous, but when Jennifer came out it was a different set of designers. She always looked beautiful in whatever she wore, but I really liked the suit. After a few more hours, I had to admit I was bored. Josh kept me preoccupied though, making funny comments about random people sleeping in the audience.

At the end of the show, Jenn called me as Josh and I were waiting in his truck.
"What up?" I asked in a 'ghetto' voice.
"Did you like the show?" she asked me, people chattering in the background.
"It was awesome! You looked amazing," I told her, slapping Josh's hand away repeatedly from poking my face.
"I know I did," she replied sarcastically. "Want to come to dinner with the crew and I?" I looked up at Josh to see what he wanted to do. He shook his head and mouthed the word 'plans'.
"I'd love to, but Josh and I have plans."
"What are you gonna do? Do a little dance? Make a little love? Maybe get down tonight?"
Josh and I laughed as he started up the car. "Exactly what we had in mind, Jenn."

I recognized where we were heading. To the place where Josh brought me when we first hung out. The secret pond behind the old baseball field, a small dirt trail that lead to it.
"It's so warm out tonight," I said, jumping onto Josh's back. He nodded in agreement and wrapped his arms around my legs to hold me up. When we got there, there were a few lights around the deck and around the small pond. A boat was tied to the dock, along with a blanket laid out.
"Surprise," Josh said while I slid off his back. I walked closer to the deck, looking around at what my boyfriend had set up for me.
"Josh, this is-"
