Where The Rainbow Ends

Chapter 15

POV: Anita Johnson

Kim and I and I stood at the entrance of the main entrance of the new mall and made a bet that who ever finds the ice skating rank first will choose where we will be having breakfast. She then kissed my forehead and wished me luck. This girl Lord!!!

I hurried to the other entrance and checked on the map, The rank was near the third entrance. I exited the mall and ran to the entrance and when I finally spotted the rank I saw Kim and she kept checking the sides, waiting for me.

After a while she noticed me and walked towards me.

"Hey you, it is forbidden for a pretty girl like yourself to walk alone. May I join you?" She ask with an amazing grin on her face.

"I would really appreciate that." I replied with a smile twice as wide.

"Kimberly, I am Kimberly." She smiled.

"I am Ani... Anita" I couldn't stop giggling.

"It's a great pleasure to meet you." She kissed me on the cheek.

The smell of fresh food filled the entire restaurant. Everything nice, too nice.

"So Kim, what's the special occasion?" I laughed.

"You such a dummy, you should be knowing. I'm celebrating a kiss with someone very special." She said and a blush creeped on both our faces.

"I can't seem to forget this one time she made me very angry then whispered in my sleep and told me how much she loves me, I was too tired to reply but at this point in time I think she knows exactly how feel about her." Her eyes moved from her hands and locked wity mine.

"I love you Ani " A smile formed on her lips.

The thought that Kim has a girlfriend is a drop in an ocean. It makes no difference. It isn't solid enough to vacate me. I still love the blonde sitting in front of me, If the earth was about to explode I would choose to die in a hug with her. That is my happiest place so far. She held my hand and interlocked our fingers and remained silent.

The waitress arrived and we began eating while sharing small conversations. The meal was really nice but it didn't beat the moment I spent with Kim. It was priceless!

We walked hand in hand to the Ice skating rank.

I quicky paid for everything and kissed her complaint away and she just glowed.

"Stand here and hold onto this" She left me on the edge of the rank.

She slowly skated to the middle, It caught everyone's attention how she perfectly completed her turns. At this point in my head it's a blank. I knew she could skate but normally and here she was with all her attention and energy.

Her mind seemed busy but her body moved flawlessly. Her body language was different and it scared me a little. The crowd began to cheer on each turn and it took a while for her to realise that we were actually cheering for her which seemed to make her really nervous. She fell on her butt making everyone blast into laughter.

I let go of the edge and tried skating towards her direction. Of course I covered a short distance before falling on mine too. It was kinda cute, I mean rverything about Kimberly is cute. She helped me up which was even cuter but the hint of fury and fear was more evident in her eyes.

"Let's get out of here." She held my hand as we walked out.

Something was just not right. Kim's mood changed.

I held her hand tight and lead her to the MacDonald that was outside. I ordered extra large milkshakes. Vanila with marshmallows was Kim's favourite.

"You okay?" I asked interlocking our fingers.

"We don't have to talk about it hey." She smiled weakly.

"I know we've started kissing and shit but I am still your bestie. I am actually still your girl! Never doubt that!" I kissed her in the cheek.

"I just don't know hey, I miss my mom." Her voice cracked.

"Before she passed on. I don't know what happened to her Ani and that fucks with my emotions every single day. One morning Dad told me that mommy was never coming back. He said she was sleeping, but her sleep is known as a peaceful sleep where nothing bothers her anymore."

"I can not even ask dad what happened. I just can not ask what put her to sleep because all he said then is that she just did not wake up. This is the part I am supposed to ask what really happened but now asking about her has turned into a phobia."

"I've always been to ice skating with her and since She was laid to rest I've never skated. I thought I should visit the place with the only person who's able to drive my pain away." She looked at me and tears rolled down her cheeks.

As speechless as I was, I had to say something.

"You are being too hard on yourself Kimberly, give yourself time man. You had to learn about death and your emotions before actually asking Mr. Dave about mom. When the time is right, you won't even hesitate to ask." She nodded as I spoke and that was enough to stop my own tears from falling.

"I am here and not just that. I love you." I whispered.

She managed to smile once again. Mrs. Parker's death was sudden and we were kids at the time. One day she was baking muffins and watching Sherk and the next morning she's in a deep sleep.

We laughed as we ran to the car to ease the tension that had built up.

Our drive to her crib was fun. We sang the songs on her playlist. We had a little recab about the day just to confirm if we both has fun and My favourite time was when she acted like a stranger and reminded me about the time I whispered in her sleep. I really thought she was long gone into her dream land.

I love being in love, especially when it's Kimberly I'm loving.

Isn't love the best thing? The feeling that sets all the butterflies free. That one feeling that complicates lives yet builds hearts.

Aren't you wondering Why Kim suddenly stop talking about Charlotte? Or what had happened to River?
