As simple as it can be

16. Can't help falling in love

-1 month later-

Millie's POV:

It was a normal day. I was in class, listening to the sound of my teacher trying to read us some French poetry. It was truly beautiful, and me, already a very good speaker of French, understood every word. Every poem has a meaning, and every human is supposed to give one to it, kind of associate it with a feeling or an object or maybe a person. This was definitely about the inevitable death and the pain you feel, but then a spark of love that appears in your life just when you need it. I could very much relate to this one, immediately a curly haired boy appearing in my head. We have been spending a lot more time together this past month.

We were talking a lot, sharing pretzels, having long walks around the park, going to the library and borrowing some books for home to read out loud to each other, and then discuss them, drinking tea, going shopping, kissing, cuddling, playing with each other's hair, all that stuff. (So here, imagine like in movies some kind of video made from little clips of them doing those things, I guess I should tell you this, because that's how I imagined it lol)

One night he officially asked me to be his girlfriend, although I thought it was very childish and high school style, but he was so happy, and I couldn't stop smiling at how he was grinning all night about it.

Today, we planned another date, but this was more of a fancy dinner like date. I told him it wasn't necessary, but he insisted. He said he already made reservations, so I couldn't say no.

He was so sweet and caring and he really helped me with everything and to get better. One time, I was sick, so he stayed at home with me and made me soup and cuddled me. I told him he shouldn't because he would get sick, too, but he continued, and fortunately, he didn't get anything.

He feels sometimes bad for being too clingy, but I told him I liked him just the way he was, and being sweet and kind and there for your girlfriend isn't being clingy, is being a perfect boyfriend, which he was.

After my class was over, I went to the coffee shop. He was right there, smiling at me from the moment I walked in. He already knew my schedule, so he was probably expecting me.

"Hello there sunshine! You look great today!" he told me, smiling widely.

"Thank you! You look nice yourself! And really happy! What's the reason?" I asked him.

"I'm just happy to see you!" he told me, giving me a peck on the lips.

"I'm happy to see you, too. Our date is still on, right?"

"Of course! I'll come pick you up from your room at 7" he answered me.

"Okay, perfect! I have enough time to get everything ready!" I said with a victorious smile.

"What is this everything you're talking about?" he asked, smirking, but in a sweet way.

"You'll see. It's a surprise, just like always!" I told him, after boop-ing his nose.

He made my coffee, and this time I took it for there, because he had a break, so we spent it together.

"So, did you hear the tea about your roommate, Mary?" Finn asked me.

"No, what's up?"

"Well, she might be DATING IRIS!!!" he said, yelling in a funny way the last part.

"OMG!!!! That is so cool! I'm so happy for them! But, to be honest, I kinda saw it coming" I told him.

"Really? I had no idea. I was shook when she told me" he said, making me laugh. "What's so funny?" he asked, having a frown on his face.
