Moon to Earth, hello ?

Babies

It's Tuesday. And though it feels like a Monday because of the Victoria weekend, I'm really excited to get back to school this morning. Something really weird happened last night and I can't wait to tell everyone.

The sun is already high in the sky in this month of May. When I arrive, I head to the courtyard where – I suppose – all my friends are. I find them sitting at a picnic table : Thomas and Kayleigh are on their phones, while Caroline, Zoey and Henry are talking and laughing together. "You will never believe what happened to me yesterday!" I start.

So I'm almost a year away from graduating, but my boyfriend is already at University, studying business. He's finishing his first year right now, so the age difference is not too big. But still... my parents are not happy about our relationship. That's why when he comes over at my house, I have to sneak him in through the balcony I share with my little sister. She's 9 years old, and the little vermin has already threatened to rat me out a few times, but I always convince her – more like blackmail her – not to do it. Plus... I think she likes Carter. He's a really charming guy and he always calls her 'beautiful'.  

- Your story better be great after you ditched us, says Zoey.

- I'm sorry Zoo! I reply. But it's our first anniversary soon and we can't celebrate it during the exam season. It was the only time we could do it.

- Okay, so did you sleep together or something, asked Henry.

- No... worse! I mean.. It would have been great. But oh man... You're not ready for what he told me.

For three years, I've been celebrating Victoria day with my friends. My parents completely trust me, as long as I keep them updated about my whereabouts. And our town is pretty safe anyways. We usually go buy some snacks before sitting on the grass in the town's square to watch the fireworks, then we hang out a little bit until our curfew. Mine is normally at 10PM on the weekend and 9PM during the week, but Victoria day's fireworks start at 10, so my parents always give me until midnight. "You're responsible enough to decide how much sleep you want to get before going to class, especially when there are holidays involved. So no excuses the next morning!" they said. 

When I left yesterday, I told my parents I was going out with my friends, as usual, so they didn't suspect anything. But I was actually going to stay home. I had left my balcony door open so I could get back in my room through the backyard when my parents would leave with my sister to go enjoy the festivities. I waited fifteen minutes behind a bush before seeing my family leave the house. I hurried, in case someone came back home for something, climbed the tree and got in my room. 

— You could have gone through the front door after they left, comments Kayleigh. 

— True.. I reply. But I was scared my parents would come back home for some reason, or that the neighbours would see me. You know how nosy they are.

Just when I got in my room, I received a text from Carter saying that he'd just parked a block away and he was on his way. Two minutes later, he knocked on the window and I got out on the balcony to kiss him. The sun was going down behind the houses in front of me, and the lights hung on the tree were on, creating a really romantic atmosphere. That minute was perfect until I heard a familiar high pitched voice "Well... Well.. Well.. What do we have here ?" We stopped kissing to look at my sister standing next to us. "Hi beautiful" said Carter. She blushed but hid her smile, and said "Don't play that game with me" after I asked her what she was doing here : Dad forgot his work phone and sent me home to get it. And when I get back, I'm going to tell him everything! " You weasel! You're not going to say anything ! I said. Otherwise, I'll tell him who REALLY broke mom's Ming vase". I pulled Carter into my room before she could say "Unfair".

I pushed him on my armchair that I generally sit in to read and sighed with content before sitting on his lap : 

— I want... a real unicorn.. a doll - but not one of the creepy ones - aand roller skates, I joked.

— Okay for the doll and the roller skates, but I'm not sure about the unicorn. I think you'll have to do with a poney instead, he replied.

— But Santa, I've been really good this year! I replied, laughing.

— Hmm... Well maybe if you kiss Carter, he could convince me to get you what you want.

His kiss was soft and loving. I was leaning against his left arm, his hand on my waist and the other on my thigh. I could feel his tongue caressing mine, it wasn't urged. I could feel him smile when I moved down one hand from his neck to his chest. The world stopped, but then so did he. He looked at me with a big smile, his eyes sparkling from joy. He just stared into my eyes while I was looking at him. Scrutinizing him. His big green eyes with his perfectly shaped bushy brows. His smooth ash blond hair. His angled nose with cute little freckles you could only see from up close. His rosy curved lips surrounded by a beard looking like a shadow on his face. 

He broke the silence to tell me I didn't look happy, even though I really was. I just couldn't believe that he was mine. Then, he went on to ask me if I knew what would make him even happier.

– So what did he say ? asks Caroline.

All my friends are looking at me with curiosity. Even Thomas and Kayleigh put their phones away to listen to me. The bell is ringing, but nobody wants to move before I tell them the end of my story.

I told Carter I didn't know what could make him happier. I was waiting for something like 'if  we were studying at the same university' or 'if your parents liked me'. But what he told me next redefined our relationship. Before we got into a fight and decided to take a break, he said : "I want us to make a baby. Actually, lots of babies. I want a really big family. We should have a baby at least every two or three years".

The guy in my dream ACTUALLY said that he wanted to have a baby at least every two or three years 😂 I did tell my friends in the dream about that too, and we laughed really hard!
