Cherry Blossom Part 3

So this is a continuation from the first two chapters that are in this book, that being why it is called part 3. Enjoy and tell me what you think.

Cheryl's Perspective:

"Cherry!" Was the first thing I awoke to. It was warm. I could feel the sun hitting my face. "Cheryl!" A little more persistent this time, with a hand shaking my shoulder lightly. I felt panic overcome me as I remembered my mother doing the same thing. Toni always made sure to very rarely call me Cheryl because it reminded me so much of my mother. Toni. At the thought of her name I instantly recognised the warm hand that was now on my arm, and the soft voice in my ear. My eyes fluttered open and I saw her looking at me, concerned, and then smiling when she saw I was awake.

"Whaatttt" I groaned, rubbing my eyes viciously. "It's Saturday"

"Exactly. Meaning that my uncle will be home in a couple of hours, and I want to take you somewhere"
I perked up at this and was extremely curious. My eyes finally adjusted to the light and I noticed that she was fully dressed.

"I'm sorry, give me 15 minutes and I'll be ready" I said, sitting up and giving her a quick hug. I showered and dressed, quickly applying some make-up and fixing my hair.

"Wow, Bombshell. That must be record timing, am I really that good at persuading?" She teased with a smile.

"Don't flatter yourself, Topaz" I replied with an eye roll, though I was mirroring her smug smirk. "Besides, I wanna know where you're taking me"

"Ah, now for that you'll have to wait and see" She giggled, pulling me in by the waist. "I've got the upper hand now" Her head neared mine slowly, as if about to kiss me, but pulled away when our lips were just centimetres apart. The teasing only made me want it more. She let out an almost cruel laugh and I stuck my tongue out childishly.

"Come on, we'd better go. But first..." Her hands came out from behind her and exposed a blindfold. "You need to put this on, it's a surprise"

"I'm not putting a blindfold on" I demanded, crossing my arms stubbornly.

"We both know you'll do anything if I ask you, so let's not make this any harder than it needs to be" She said whilst laughing, and I reluctantly turned around so she could tie it around my eyes, sighing the entire time.

"Come on, let's go" She said, leading me outside. "Don't worry, we're going to take my car. I'm not taking the motorcycle"

Toni's Perspective:

I was so excited for her to see my surprise. I knew that she had a nightmare last night and she needed something to take her mind off of everything, so I planned this last night after she crashed in the bed. She complained the entire way, but it would be worth it. Besides, it was kinda cute.

When we got there I guided her out of the car and she reached up to take off the blindfold, but I lightly stopped her hands.

"No, not yet, Princess. We need to get to the other side first"

"Is this your way of killing me? Because 'the other side' doesn't sound very good" She said with a giggle. I was glad she had her sense of humour back and laughed with her.

"Okay, now shush or you'll fall, and you won't be any good to any one if that happens" I saw her eyebrows furrow together in confusion, even through the blindfold, but she didn't say anything this time.

We got to the other side and I put down the basket before walking back over to Cher and putting my hand in hers.

"Take off the blindfold" I said softly, and watched her facial expressions change as she saw where we were.

Cheryl's Perspective:

"Take off the blindfold"

I pulled it off quickly, wanting my sight back as soon as possible. The light shocked me for a second, but my eyes quickly adjusted.
My eyes widened and I felt my heart rate increase rapidly at the sight before me.

Dozens of cherry blossom trees, with a shining lake directly in the middle of them. The sun shone brightly through them and there were fairy lights hanging between two of them with a blanket and a picnic basket. I looked over at Toni in disbelief and saw her smile out shining the sun. My brain went through many emotions before finally deciding it was too overwhelmed. I burst into tears right there and put my face into her shoulder.

"You okay?" She asked with genuine concern, making me sob harder at the simple yet caring gesture.

"I'm f-fine, nobody  h-has ever cared a-about me this much" I muttered after a while, my sobs finally starting to subside.

"Come on, I packed us food. I also got us two milkshakes from Pop's, that's why we stopped" She said, holding my hand tightly and leading me to the blanket. She opened up the basket and showed many sandwiches, some fruit and pasta. There was an entire tub just for cherries, making me smile at the cute thought.

"Aww, you're so soppy" I teased with a laugh, putting a cherry into my mouth.

"Says the person who cried" She said, laughing at my burning face. I stuck my tongue out again and threw a cherry at her forehead lightly, laughing when it exploded slightly and got cherry juice on her nose.

"So childish" She declared, throwing a cherry at my face too, hitting me directly in the mouth. She threw it slightly harder so the juice exploded all over my lips and jaw. She moved closer to me, whispering "I'll take care of that" and leant in slowly to lick along my jawline, tasting the sweet cherry taste. She moved closer and closer to my lips, teasing me again, but eventually gave in and pressed her red stained lips against my own. I licked along her bottom lip and her mouth opened immedietly, our tongues crashing together forcefully, and fought her for dominance.

Normally, I would have just given up by now and let her take over, but I was determined to show her that I was also in charge. I think we were both surprised when I won, and I explored her mouth carelessly, tasting the chocolate milkshake along with the cherry she had just licked from me. We both eventually pulled back for air, just smiling at each other contently. I rested my head on her shoulder and we sat there peacefully as the spring breeze cooled us down.

She pulled away from me after a few moments and started digging around in the picnic basket, clearly looking for something.

"What are you trying to find?" I asked curiously. She didn't reply and continued rummaging around, finding what she was looking for and holding it up for me to see. It was her polaroid camera, and I smiled at the fact that she chose to bring it. She lifted it up and snapped a photo of me surrounded by the cherry blossom trees, and before I could say anything she said,

"I only take pictures of beautiful things"
