She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not

It Was A Date

  We spent more time than we were supposed to at the Zoo because a certain somebody wanted every baby animal.

"The baby sloth wasn't even cute!", I say, kicking the sand. We are at the beach.

Anna dramatically gasps and turns to me, her sandals in her hands

"It was ADORABLE!!"

"Maybe you need to start wearing glasses again" I chuckle and then gasp as I'm tackled into the sand "What the fu©k Anna!!!"

She 'pins' me down, straddling me.

"Say it was cute" she glares at me

"No"

"Why nooot?" she whines

"Because it wasn't" I laugh when she frowns. Then it turns into a devilish smirk "What?"

Curse my tickle spots! I was laughing like a maniac. Gosh, I seem so weak trying to push her off and failing.

"SAY IT WAS CUTE!!" she yells laughing

"No!" I manage to wheeze out, tears flowing from my eyes as she kept tickling me "Get. Off. Me" I say in-between laughs

"Not until you say it was cute!!"

"It's cute! It's cute! Stoop"

But she didn't stop. She keeps tickling me until I manage to kick her off me and wheeze, catching my breath as she's laughing hard.

"Kids of now our days" a man with his wife maybe, mumbles and shakes his head as he passes us.

"You are a monster" I say after much panting

"Yet you love me" she continues laughing

I do.

"You wish" I roll my eyes

She was about to say something but was cut off by the fireworks.

They're beautiful... I glance and Anna to see her looking up in awe. Under other circumstances, this would've been a pretty good time to tell her how I feel... She's beautiful in the light.

I miss the entire fireworks display because I'm watching her instead.

The fireworks stop and people start leaving. We're still on the sand, me still looking at her and her still staring at the sky.

The she turns to me and I clear my throat, getting up and dusting the sand off me.

"That was something huh?" I stretch my hand towards her and she holds it, pulling herself up

"Yeah... It was something", she smiles and keeps holding my hand as we walk to the car.

"So did I make it up to you?" we're in the car and I put the key in the ignition

"Definitely".

I start the car and we start heading back home.

"Why did you guys come home early?"

"We never left", she shrugs. Really? "It was kind of a b!tch move to plan Best Friends Day Out without you", kind of?, "So we didn't go"

"I'm sorry about the thing with Austin...I can learn to tolerate him if you want"

She chuckles "That'll be nice to see, but don't worry about it... It was a 'mutual agreement'... Even though you acted like a..."

"Male genitalia?" I offer and she bursts out laughing, making me smile

"Yes! Male genitalia"

We get to our Estate and I park the car. I'm open the door to get out but the holds my arm, making me stop.
