Charlotte ||

Now that Gilbert is feeling slightly better, Charlotte and Gilbert decided to go for a walk. The crisp morning air wafted around them. Gilbert held out his hand for Charlotte to grab. She felt the tingle go through her fingers as she intertwined them with Gilbert's. They walked in a comfortable silence enjoying each other. "Look there's a chipmunk," Gilbert whispered in Charlotte's ear pointing at the small animal. Charlotte smiled at the tiny animal. Then she turned and pecked Gilbert on the lips before they continued their walk. 

The next week the two went back to school. Charlotte had gone first then Gilbert. "Gilbert!" The boys called his name as he entered the small building. Gilbert smiled and chatted away with some of his friends, but kept Charlotte close to him. He rubbed his thumb over her hand as he held it tightly. Charlotte felt the stares but didn't care. Gilbert was finally hers. 

At lunch, Charlotte sat with Gilbert. "Hey it's your birthday soon Gilbert," Charlotte started the conversation. "Oh yeah on Wednesday," He said. Charlotte thought of the painting she made of Gilbert. Then she decided that would be his present. "You look beautiful today like every day," Gilbert said as he admired Charlotte. Charlotte got lost in his eyes and could take his compliments any day and every day. "I love you," she said. Gilbert kissed Charlotte. Charlotte felt his soft lips press up against hers making her smile. "I love you too," He told her. 

After school, Charlotte and Gilbert went back to his house. When they got to the house they sat on the couch and talked. After a while of talking, Charlotte smashed her lips against Gilbert's. Charlotte could talk for a few hours, but she could kiss Gilbert forever. She wrapped her arms around his neck and ran her hands through his curly hair. Gilbert wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled Charlotte closer to him. Charlotte felt alive, the way she always felt with Gilbert. The love they shared ran through her veins and up to her heart.
