Always & Forever (D. Swing)

Chapter 14.

Devyn

Love appeared out of nowhere, making its first visit with me a couple months ago. An immense and godly power came over to my possession, striking every depressed bone in my body, provoking a strong joyful spirit to derive within me. Love spreaded all over me like a contagious disease; a beautiful disease that heals all. When Love is near, she smells like those beautiful flowers with no scent but you adore them and act like you can smell them anyway because it's simply admirable. The admiration I have within me ran so high. I don't care if I don't get any in return because it's a surviving voice on its own.

Something I'm finally beginning to experience. Spring came around me interally, and flowers began to blossom at a rapid pace. A pit of butterflies all wrestle in my stomach with this strange feeling of wanting to throw up. I'm on cloud nine, on a different level of high yet actually being sober. My heart is intoxicated with so much passion as it beats intensively when love comes back in my presence. The rain that was once here is now cleared up, full of sunshine and rainbows. Soft clouds I walk on everyday without a care in the world. The knives are no more, the thorns of the roses are out the door. Bittersweet, leaving me weak in the knees. Making me feel fear and excitement all at once, wanting the best for the person. Just wanting the person to have the best in life. Loving comes so easily when the person is beautiful.

Love

I laugh joyfully nodding my head back and forth at the lunch table as I stuff a piece of lettuce in my mouth, ignoring all other conversations going on except for my own in my head. Everything becomes a blur to me as he's the one thing on my mind, simply because he isn't at the table at the moment. I smile to myself thinking about our last few encounters. How we laugh together as if everything is alright in the world. How we talk about the most random and deepest things that no one else ever listens to. How he compliments me and makes me feel good about myself. How he kisses and adores my body. Simply thinking about how he shows love for me.

"Oh no. The girl done lost her virginity." Nay Nay's words snap me out of the daydream I was trapped in and I look at her confused. "She's over here eating the damn school lunch. Even though it's a nasty ass salad. That means something, I know it does."

"That doesn't mean she lost her virginity, Nay." Leila says reasoning with a simple look of boredom on her face. "That's so random. Where would you even get that from?"

"When does this bitch ever eat school lunch Leila? Does she even eat at all?" She exclaims, pointing at my lunch. Her facial expression changes dramatically. "She never does this shit. Something is up with her." She studies me intensively causing me to look away, picking at the lettuce again.

"She is glowing though." Destiny observes me from head to toe, really studying my face. I feel myself slightly tense at her stare. "She looks happy for a change. Maybe she got a cat or something. My pet always makes me happy."

"Yeah, and she's been feeding her cat very well." Nay Nay sucks her teeth at Destiny's randomness. "You know damn well that's not a damn cat making her happy. Cats aren't even happy themselves."

"Can you not?" I ask, wanting to look annoyed by her sudden accusations, but she isn't lying and I was actually a bit amused by their conversation. "See, she didn't even deny it!"

"Wait, Devyn, you lost your virginity?" A proud smile forms onto Destiny's face and she looks me up and down. "Someone popped your cherry?" She asks and I simply turn the other way, wanting to hide any convincing expressions as I'm being harassed.

"Devyn, you had sex?" I feel Leila's constant tapping on my shoulder which is annoying me causing me to snap towards her. "Yes." I mean to quietly say to her, but they all begin screeching, hearing what I said.
