"are we almost there yet, wy?" i said, complaining. we had been walking on a trail through the forest preserve for a while now, and i was getting impatient. wyatt was taking me 'somewhere special', as he had said, and he wanted it to be a surprise. i just wanted to get there.
"yes, jae-jae. we are almost there," he said, looking over at me and smiling. i instantly blushed and looked down, smiling to myself. he was so adorable, i couldn't handle it. "it's actually right up ahead," wyatt excitedly said, grabbing my hand and running towards an opening in the trees.
i gasped as i looked around, taking in the beautiful landscape. in front of me was a field of wild flowers that extended all the way up to a stream at the far end of the clearing. tall, green trees surrounded the little place, making it seem like we were in our own world. it was amazing.
"it's beautiful," i said, still mesmerized by the scenery surrounding me. i started walking towards the field, only to realize our hands were still intertwined. i felt butterflies erupt in my stomach as i looked up at wyatt, who was lightly blushing, and met his gaze. he awkwardly let go of my hand, still staring at me, and started walking towards the field of flowers again.
i trailed slowly behind him, watching as he stopped to smell a flower. i took this opportunity to admire him and his many features. his light, golden curls shone in the sunlight and lightly bounced with his every movement. his light brown eyes that hypnotized me every time i looked into them. and his smile that could light up the entire world. he was beautiful.
"jae, look at this flower. it's so pretty," wyatt happily said, breaking me from my trance. i walked over to him to see the flower that he was admiring. it was a simple yet lovely flower, with light purple petals and a bright yellow center. "it reminds me of you. i would give it to you, but i don't want to pick it. then it would die," he said, frowning.
"aw it's okay, wy. why does it remind you of me?" i curiously asked, sitting down in the grass. wyatt followed and sat down across from me. he shrugged.
"i don't really know. it's pretty. well, to me at least," he said looking down and playing with the grass. i felt my cheeks heat up as i realized that wyatt had called me pretty.
"y- you think i'm pretty?" i quietly asked for reassurance, looking at wyatt. he looked up and met my stare, a tint of pink spreading across his face.
"well, y-yeah. you're my pretty flower," he said, smiling. i felt my heart skip a beat. i was his pretty flower. i had never belonged to anyone before. not that wyatt meant it that way. he was probably joking anyway. that's what friends do. they joke around.
"yeah, okay," i sarcastically said, rolling my eyes. although i did like the idea of being wyatt's pretty flower, i knew it wasn't true. it couldn't be true. he was just messing with me.
"you don't want to be my pretty flower?" wyatt said, frowning. i felt my heart beat speed up. he reached toward my hand and slowly laced our fingers together, looking up at me. "because that would make me very sad."
"wyatt, please stop," i said, pulling my hand away a bit too forcefully. he seemed a little hurt. i didn't mean to hurt him. i just didn't understand why he had to mess with my emotions like this. i'm already confused enough. "listen i- i like you. okay? are you happy? and this isn't helping. you're just making it worse. just stop messing with all my emotions!" i blurted out, instantly regretting what i had just said.
i hesitantly looked up, and wyatt was smiling, much to my surprise. "y- you like me?" he asked, his eyes lighting up as he met my gaze.
"yes," i said, looking down again. i gently grabbed wyatt's shaking hand and intertwined our fingers once more. my heart raced at the simple gesture. he slowly leaned forward and rested his forehead against mine.
"i finally have my pretty flower. you're all mine," he said, taking his free hand and stroking my cheek.
"i'm all yours," i whispered, leaning forward and connecting our lips.
