Pool House pt. 2

That old Chevy, your grandmas car, is what I'll never forget. Our memories we made in that car will never stop running around in my head. The first time was scary, I was basically risking everything I had in order to see you that one night. Anyone reading this won't understand what I'm talking about but you will. The planning leading up to it almost made you not want to do it but that changed. Walking from my house to the other side of my neighborhood really wasn't convenient for me however, like I'll say again, I was willing to make sacrifices.

Every Saturday that car pulled up right next to the sidewalk around three in the morning.
The first time I entered your car, my heart was beating one hundred miles an hour. Blood rushed to every extremity in my body and my pupils dilated because of you. The human anatomy is quite interesting.
However, that dark,cool, quiet Saturday night is when we'd spend another night together.
You looked so cute tip-toeing out of your car with your 'Pink' lanyard dangling with keys and that basketball picture of me. You wanted a hug, I remember, you wouldn't come inside without one. So there we were, in the middle of an empty neighborhood road with the two of us hugging tightly. I always loved hugging you since I had to bend down to reach your small body. We hugged for a long time, and you wouldn't let go. The way I envisioned it, you probably thought you weren't going to see me again but you would see me again. You would've seen me for a long time. You could've seen me however many times you wanted to. I was yours, I was your man, I was devoted you to, but most importantly, I made a promise never to leave you even when times got tough.

Getting in through the window was the most exciting part.
I would enter, then you'd look back at me with those eyes filled with fear like a newborn baby pup. Tonight was the night, tonight you would be so happy and I loved when you were happy.
Your eyes shimmered with happiness as I said, "Do you want to by my girlfriend?" I meant those words with all my heart. I asked you that question because I wanted us to be official. Sure we were "a thing," but that meant I couldn't tell people we were dating because that would be a lie. This next giant step in our relationship meant everything for me. It meant I would be able to introduce you to my family, it meant that we were going to spend Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas together. So many more memories were going to make because we were boyfriend and girlfriend.
Those bracelets defined us: King and Queen.
You wore that white beaded bracelet everywhere you went.
It symbolized the queen you were to me.
The smile that spread out across your face when I put your bracelet on your slender arm, it reminded me of all the happiness in the world.

Remember the shower I took that night?
After I got out and dressed, there you were asleep in bed looking beautiful like always.
Remember that one night where we danced together?
All we did was point in any direction, laugh at one another, and act like two dumb teenagers.
