Benny's POV
Like the good boyfriend I am, I'm taking Opal to the park later for our date.
Alexandra has been going with me to Opal's house (maybe to see her little brother Timmy, I don't know 😏), and I haven't gotten much time with her. Alone, that is.
We stop by our houses, get our homework done, and head to the park, hand in hand.
"I can't believe you'll be driving soon." Opal says out of nowhere, almost startling me.
"Me neither, honestly." I laugh lightly. "I'm scared of myself."
"Why?" She smiles at me.
"I busted the guts out of a baseball, who knows what I can do in a car."
"Babe, don't scare me please." She giggles.
I throw my arm around her and pull her close, smiling.
"Whatcha wanna do first?" I ask.
She thinks for a minute, then smirks at me.
The words "ice cream" roll off her tongue.
On any other day I'd say no, because ice cream gets me hyped up, but this afternoon is ours, and I'm willing to risk a major Sugar Hangover for it.
I get our ice cream and we sit down, still hand in hand.
"Noooo!" She whines, taking mine and handing me hers. I'm confused.
"You feed me and I'll feed you." She smiles at me, and I smile back almost immediately.
We sit there, on the park bench, eating our, and occasionally each other's, ice cream.
I love Opal so much... but I honestly don't know how to tell her. Can words even describe it?
I've known her, my whole life actually because we go to the same school, but we've been so close the past few months, it feels like years.
A smirk forms on my face. I pick up one of the straws the lady gave up, put the tip in the ice cream, brought it out, and blew it all over Opal's cheek.
"Benny!" She jumps slightly at the cold touch, and I just laugh.
"Happy Two Months," I smirk as I lick the ice cream off her face, which makes her blush like crazy. Mission. Accomplished.
"Baaaaabe." She looks at me, and slowly a smile forms on her face.
"I got you something," I smile as I take a small box out of my pocket.
Please. I wish I was proposing.
I open it, revealing a promise ring to her.
"Benny..." she smiles, taking it, "it's beautiful."
