Breaking Point

The Date

The day started out like normal: woke up early, had some tea, did chores, and took a shower. After everything was done i looked at the time, 11:30am. It was almost time to meet up with Damien so i grabbed a small backpack, a light jacket, and a cashew bar and headed out the door.
I decided to walk to the library since i didn't live that far away from it. Upon arrival i walked inside and headed to the romance section since i love to read and I'm a sucker for cheesy romance novels. About 10 minutes later while reading one of the books in the aisle of the shelves i feel a hand tightly grip my shoulder, slightly alarmed i hit the person with my book. Upon further inspection i realised it was Damien."Oh my god, I'm so sorry!" i whisper yelled to him as he just chuckled, rubbing the arm i hit with a light blush. We then without words walked out the door.
As we exited the building we burst into laughter. " I'm sorry for hitting you with the book" i said blushing a bit as i looked at him with a sheepish smile. "That's alright Rox, i shouldn't have scared you" Damien returned the blush and smile as we walked into the forest.
We continued to walk around the forest, occasionally messing around and being dorks like we always are. I take him around to one of the crooked trees so he could climb a tree for the first time (since he's afraid of heights), we played "king of the hill" and i showed him a small pond that's in there. Well just by looking at the water level i could tell the time and that it was going to rain soon. While playing our little game he jumped off the fallen tree trunk we were playing on and when i tried to run after and chase him i tripped and he caught me, we were unusually close to each other, our faces blushing madly. We just stared at each other for what seemed like forever until he looks away and pushes me back up to a standing position and it immediately started to storm heavily, pelting us with droplets of freezing cold water.
We decided to immediately leave the forest and walk home to escape the now frozen hell of the town. Upon arrival we hugged each other goodbyes and parted our ways to the dried freedom of our homes, not a single moment where we weren't thinking of each other and the wonderful time spent.
Upon entering my house i took off my soaked shoes and strolled up to my room in a daze, still remembering the recent events as if they would never leave my mind. I grabbed a towel and started to dry off and eventually changing into some dry clothes. I went into the kitchen to grab a snack of some kind when upon further inspection i was home alone. Grabbing 3 Oreos and a glass of milk i headed back to my room and put on my favorite song (Hey There Delilah) and texted Damian.

Me:"hey, did you get home safe?"
Him: "yea, just drying off, I'm soaked"
Me:"ok, well, thank you for the date, i had a lot of fun despite getting rained on"
Him:"^u^ you're welcome Rox, i had fun too"

The rest of the night was spent relaxing, listening to music (then eventually youtube), and texting Damien.
Once it got late we said goodnight to each other and we both fell asleep into a peaceful slumber.
