~Justin’s point of view~
 
I bit my lip as I stared at the wrinkled paper that was in my hand. Should I? Or would that be weird? She’s is my fiancée after all. I don’t think she minds. I nodded as I made my decision and made my way downstairs to find my mother.



        She was in the middle of setting up dinner on the table. "Mom?" I breathed out. She looked up at me with both her eyebrows raised. "Yes, sweetie?" I bit pressed my lips together as I looked down at the paper in my hands. "Umm, can I just go and visit Darielle at her place?" I asked. Mom gave me a hesitant look. I knew she wanted Darielle to come to our house. "Why?"



        "Umm, she lives really far in the city and it would be kind of unfair if she's the only one who keeps coming here. I should at least see what environment she lives in." I answered truthfully. That was true and also I kind of missed her. A little. Maybe a little more. Okay, a lot! I just want to see her. Mom had a frown on her face for a while until it was replaced with a wide grin.



        "Of course you can!" I sighed in relief. "While you're at it, bring some of these when you're there." She told as she grabs a few Tupperware from the cabinets and place some food in it. I nodded as I made my way to the front door. As I turned the knob, mom's voice stopped me. "Honey, you're not going to go there like that are you?" I looked at her, perplexed as I looked down to find myself in just pants and with no shirt on.



        I felt my face grew hot and I dashed upstairs to my room. I changed into something more appropriate. I slipped on a simple black V-neck shirt with a pair of faded blue jeans and a pair of black Supras as I slipped on a black beanie on my head. Once I felt satisfied with the look, I grabbed my phone and head downstairs to the kitchen.



        Mom handed me a bag that had Tupperware filled with her delicious cooking in it. "Are you sure you're going to be okay here alone, mom?" I asked with concern in my voice. She nodded reassuringly. "I'm fine, Justin. Just go see her and make sure she's fine." She smiled as I did.



        I gave her a kiss on the cheek before heading out from the house. Since I didn't have a car, I decided to take the bus to the town. I sat down at the bus stop while waiting. I pulled out my phone from my pocket about to text Darielle when I began to think. Maybe I shold surprise her with my arrival. I think she wouldn't mind. But then . . . would she think I'm creepy? Well, she's the one who gave me her address.



        A sigh escaped through my lips as I stuffed my phone back into my pocket. Then I saw the bus coming to stop in front. When it did, I got up and grabbed the bag to go in. I paid and took the ticket before finding a seat. I stumbled forward when the bus began to move causing me to curse a few profanities under my breath.



        I looked around to find that there were a lot of empty seats. There were a few passengers on board. An old lady with her pet cat by the reserved seats. A guy around my age slouching down his seat by the window with headphones on. A middle-aged man in the fifth row from the back eating his loaf of bread—yes loaf. Finally, two teenage girls around my age giggling like there's no tomorrow and whispering in their seat; second row from the back.



        One particular spot caught my eye. It was the one at the last row in the back by the window. A smile crept on my face knowing that's where Darielle and I would sit. As I made my way there, I could feel the two teenage girls' eyes following my every move as I made way to the back.



        I sat down by the window and placed the bag down on the seat beside me. I leaned back on my seat as I stared out the window. As I did, my mind began to wander and it was only Darielle in my mind. She's so beautiful. She's like the forest fire beautiful. So dangerous but you can't help but get even more closer. But for my story, it was her that came to me. I never that, that was the day my life would change.



        My life did change and it was a massive one. She gave a big impact in my life. I've never felt so blessed in my life when she stepped in. Cheesy, I know but it's the truth. As the thoughts of her roam in my mind, I didn't even realize that I had been smiling the whole time.



        Is this what its like to fall in love? If it is, I'm loving it. That's when I felt a presence in front and beside me. I turn to see that it was the two teenage girls. My smile turned into a frown when my eyes landed on them. One of the girls had curly ginger hair with blue eyes and a nose that almost looked like a witch's nose. She was wearing a baby pink top with a black skirt that too short for comfort. Whilst the other girl had short blonde hair with grey eyes and her outfit was just stinging my eyes. She wore a white top that was ripped from the bottom to the top which showed off her breasts that looked kind of horrifying. They looked saggy like she didn't wore a bra for 5 years and she wore short shorts.



        "Umm, may I help you?" I spoke an acidulous tone. They snapped me out of my thoughts of my fiancée. They both giggled annoyingly. I sighed as I looked out the window wanting anything than these two premature creatures. "What's your name?" The curly ginger asked as I glanced to find her biting her pointer finger between her teeth; trying to act 'sexy' if that's even possible.



        I sighed as I pressed my knuckle against my temple. "Derek." I told them. I don't want any weird looking crayon-faced teens knowing my name. You never know, they might just search you online and send information to some guy who sells organs for money. That's just anomalous.



        Both of them sighed in adoringly. I gave them a weird look. "That's such a hot name." The blonde one winked. I mentally puked all over her face. I didn't respond though. "So where are you going on a night like this?" They asked as I prayed to God to make these two vanish from my sight. "To meet someone." I mumbled.



        "Who? A friend? Maybe we could go with you so we could have some fun. If you know what I mean." The curly ginger told as she trailed her finger down my arm making me pull my arm away from her. I'm starting to lose my patience. So I snapped.



        "I'm not gonna waste my time with two premature mosquitoes who are just passing themselves around to any guy who they are willing to spread their legs for. Instead, I'm going to spend the night with my fiancée who is unbelievably and way more sexy and also elegant than you two will ever be." I spoke with full pride in my voice. "Try and land your eyes on one's left ring finger instead of their clothed d*ck for once in your dirty life." I spat in calm tone.



        I could see the other three passengers including the bus driver are witnessing the whole scene at the back. They were trying to hold in their laughter as they saw the two girls who looked like they were going to cry and expect me to apologize but no; this time I'm not backing down. Darielle is the girl I love and I will never look at any other girl than her. She's my one and only. I touched the engagement ring that was on my finger which mom gave to Darielle and I.



        "Unlike you two, my fiancée is a butterfly. Easy to see but hard to catch. Lucky for me, we caught each other. And she's the best damn thing that's ever happened to me." I spoke with a proud smile on my face before turning to look out the window. We were already in town. "So please move away from me. I dislike mosquitoes bugging my space." I mentally chuckle at my response.



        The two girls cried out like babies in humiliation as they went back to their seats. I rolled my eyes. Immature. I heard the sound of chuckles from the passengers and the bus driver. The guy with the headphones said, "Burn!"



        That was the first time I've ever said anything like that to someone. I always thought if I did, I would get beat up or insulted. Now, things are different and I like it. 



        I can't wait to see Darielle. I think I might just not go back home tonight.
