Diary of Secrets

Chapter 11

5 Years Later

I stood in front of my school after 5 long years. I missed it. This is where it all had started and this is where it all ended. I had so many memories related to this school, I started feeling nostalgic. This is where I had first kissed a girl. This is where I was socially harassed by my so called friends and this is where my history teacher Mr. Dickens abused me. This was also where I fell in love with that woman who completely changed my life. As I walked around the whole school, I came to the playground where I could see two little girls giggling and holding each other’s hands. I was glad that no one bothered with what they were doing. I smiled at the thought of me and Ms. Evans where we both used to sit right on those same pair of swings. And those memories instantly brought tears in my eyes. I suddenly felt a pair of hands around my waist. I turned around and met my love of my life standing in front of me looking deep in my eyes. She brought her body close to me, and leaned in to kiss me. I smiled at her sweetness. Her kiss was perfect just like when she had kissed me first. I brought my body closer, letting no air pass through us, sealing the gap. I let her hands wrap around my waist tightly, leaving my hands roam all around her long brown hair. I inserted my tongue, letting it roam all around her mouth, travelling every corner, devouring all her sweetness and she moaned at that contact. We broke up when we heard Emma playing with those two girls. I and my wife smiled at our three year old daughter. She held my hands tightly, and we walked towards three of them. Emma then spoke,

“Momma, why are we here?”

“Because your mommy here wanted to see her school where she used to go to, 5 years ago.” My wife answered.

‘Em dear, how do you like it around here?’ I bent down and asked my daughter the question.

“I love it, mommy. Will I be going to the same school?” She asked in joy.

‘Yes baby. You will also go here.’ I replied back.

I stood up and looked at my wife. She smiled at me, and I blushed. Her smile still made me feel all giddy inside. We stared at each other never breaking our contact until I could feel a tear run down my eyes. It led to that moment that I had to face that night with Ms. Evans. While I was waiting for the moment to all blow up, I couldn’t help but blurt all that I wanted to say her. Though it was just a sentence, it could speak all my thoughts, all my feelings for her.

“I wish you would fall in love with me.” I said

“Why?” She asked.

“Because you are really someone worth falling in love with. And if we were in love, I wouldn’t be drifting. I wouldn’t be nobody. At least not while I was with you.”

And that’s what she was waiting for me to say, when I felt her lips crashing on mine. Her lips brushed mine upper lip, and then the lower lip. Going all over, until she decided to involve her tongue. If you would take a picture of us, right there, you could see my face was as red as a tomato and Ms. Evans was smiling in her kiss. You can describe that kiss perfect. Her lips were warm and soft which made the kiss passionate. And that’s when I thanked Jamie for giving her my diary. Now that I had her, all my fears were gone. It was only me and her, together forever. None of us cared about our forbidden love, because we both knew we wanted each other. It was after a year of living together and me turning 18 when we decided to marry. Rocco knew about a church that allowed a gay marriage and with Jamie and Rocco’s help we got married. After a year, Emily had Emma, which was as beautiful as her. We both selected her name, adding first two initials of Emily’s name to my last letter, as Emma would remind both of us of our undying love for each other. As I looked back at the memory, I didn’t realize that Emily had come and stood in front of me. She came and wiped the tears away, and that made my corners of my lips turn upside. I smiled at her, and I made her sure of it, that no matter what, she will always be the reason behind my smile. She smiled back and we looked at Emma and those two girls running around the playground. We both looked at the empty swings, and ran for our seat. We both looked at each other and started laughing. She was the one that made me believe in love again. I loved my teacher, my wife, my soul-mate and will love her until death does us apart.

It was my fairy tale and in this fairy tale we both lived happily ever after.
