when a smile drops [ BrightWin | SarawaTine ]

11:14 p.m

there will always be unexpected moments that could first; make a good memory to be remembered or second; ruin everything.

when i woke up i couldn't chill. i was excited that i get too nervous and picky of what to wear. i wanted to look good for him. i rummaged on my closet and picked up the decent clothes i own.

my room was a mess. i ended up with a white long-sleeves and denim pants.

i heaved a sigh as i stare at myself on the mirror. i casted out a smile trying to attract positivity. today, i must enjoy every seconds with him because this is our first date and every first must be special.

i panicked when i heard a knock on the door. i slapped my cheeks with my sweaty hands. i need to calm down.

before opening the door, i sprayed perfume all over my body. i even checked my breath and took a last look on the mirror.

when i opened the door, there he was standing with a bouquet of red roses on his hands. his hair was brushed up and he looks good on formal clothes. but the best thing that he was wearing was his smile. his lips were as red as freshly picked strawberries.

my eyes were glued on him and my heart was enjoying the view it jumps out off my chest.

"For you." he handed me the flowers and i was back in reality. i thanked him and kept my eyes on the floor as we walk towards his car.

i could smell the sweet mint on his body and it only made my cheeks burn.

i was taken aback when he held my hand; intertwining his fingers on mine. i was too shy i couldn't look straight on his face.

"I wish I could hold your hands everyday like this." he said.

i nodded my head.

i wish i could be with you everyday.

he gripped on my hands tightly and caresses the skin of my hand with his thumb. he was doodling on my skin and i let him. his touch makes me feel safe and his presence makes everything extraordinary like how the sun felt on my skin, the clouds that greeted us a good morning and the air blowing the blush on my face.

with him, everything shines. he sweeps away the darkness inside me. he gives me hope and the feeling of looking forward for another day.

we got inside his car and he started driving. we were silent. perhaps there was awkwardness.

"S-should we put on some music?" i suggested, breaking the ice. he sighed.

"I'm sorry. I just feel embarrassed..." he paused and stared at me for second.

"You... you look beautiful. You make me speechless."

i was the one running out of words. he complimented me and i was smiling like an idiot.

i heard him laugh.

"That smile really suits you the best." he pinched my cheeks and got back driving. i bit my lower lip and held my cheeks.

i looked at him and saw him smiling. i reached for his cheeks to pinch him.

"Hey, hey... that's cheating! I'm driving!"

we didn't turn on the music. we kept talking and talking filling the car with our voices.

my heart was at ease and i started to look forward for today.

i wish for long roads so the car won't stop because i want to keep making memories with him like the moments we shared on his fancy white car.

bouquet of flowers resting on the backseat, deep conversations and two boys shot by cupid. isn't it, lovely?
