I Love Her, Can She Love Me?

Chapter 5: Firework Sparks Fly

We vibe together easily as I drive. I keep glancing over and everytime I do she's doing the same. I smile big and think, Man...what if this is it? What if she's the one? I've gotta convince her to want me that's all I'm taking. It ain't up for discussion.

I pull into the shop and quickly go to the other side and open her door. She smiles and takes my hand and I help her out. We walk into the shop and I open the door for her. We get to a table to decide what we want before getting in line. I then pull out her seat for her. I'm trying so hard.

"So..what's your favorite flavor of ice cream?" She smiles gorgeously, "Chocolate chip cookie dough." My jaw drops. Okay this is fucking destiny I'm calling it right now! I laugh a bit, "No way! That's mine too!" She chuckles softly, "No need to fib Mr. Rollins." She then mumbles something I can't hear.

I shake my head, "No seriously! That's been my favorite since I was a kid! My grandparents made it for me all the time!" She smiles and rests her hand on top of mine, "Awe, that's so sweet Anthony! My mom used to make it. I've still got her recipe!!"

I grin thinking with the wrong head, "Well hell what are we doing here then?! Let's go to your place and uh make some ice cream, watch some Netflix like you said?" She hesitates, "Lets get ice cream from here first then maybe we can go watch a movie." I smile victoriously.

I mentally fist bump and we get in line. I smile, "Hey, how you doin? We would like two chocolate chip cookie dough ice creams in a waffle cone please." "Oh and can we get a candle on hers?" I add."It's her birthday today!" She giggles and the cashier nods, rings in our order, then goes to make it after I pay.

"Well then!" I say, "He seemed rather amused hmm?" She giggles softly. "Your laugh is so cute." It comes out like word vomit. Oh. My. Fuck. I really just said that. I really just said that to my professor. Fucking face palm again.

She smiles again and this time moves her hand on top of mine. "Well I thank you most kindly Anthony." I immediately take her hand and kiss it. "Anything for you Makayla..." I hesitate. Well you know what fuck it. "I just..I gotta be honest..ever since that first day in your classroom I knew you were special. You need to be treated with the upmost respect and love and you deserve to be spoiled and treated like the absolute queen you are. And well...I wanna be the one to do it....I'm sure I'm just another one of your students so I get-" Suddenly she kisses me.

She kisses me. It like fireworks go off in my heart, sparks are flying! We pull away and open our eyes to look at each other. I caress her face and we kiss again. She's so perfect it drives me crazy. Her lips fit exactly with mine, her lipgloss tastes like strawberries, she smells like coconuts and my God does she know how to turn a man on just by kissing!

We pull away and she seems embarrassed. She covers her mouth and looks distressed. I put my arm around her and bring her closer to me. "Listen baby, you never have to worry about anything when you're with me. I understand a million thoughts are going through your head but you need to put them aside. We were meant to find each other. Otherwise, you wouldn't have said yes. So you...you've gotta like me in..in some way...right?"

She sighs, "Oh Anthony, you beautiful soul. I have wanted to do that ever since I saw you walk into my classroom. The only problem is, well, there's a few. You still live with your parents, I'm five years older than you, not to mention student professor relationships are strictly forbidden!"

The cashier yells out our order and and I go to pick it up. They said that they ran out of the cones so they put it in the bowl for us. I bring the order to our table and she has her head down. I smile and move her hair out of her face, "Well I got the solution to all of those. I can live by myself if I choose to, I just don't because I honestly can't afford to move out on my own. I would move in with Jacob but he's living with his girlfriend and they are about to have a family. Age ain't shit but a date on some medical papers and that last one is easy! We just won't let anyone know we are together, we'll keep it professional in-school hours. Msssss. Downesss!" I drag her name out making her giggle.

"Okay okay okay....I guess I'll give this a shot Anthony...I'll be your girlfriend." I smile and I kiss her. We finish our ice cream and we get in my car ready to head back to her place. "Happy birthday to me!" She smiles and declares.

I smile and nod, "Happy birthday to you babe!" We kiss and she puts her address in my GPS. Man, this is going great! Way better than I thought it would. I'm so glad everything worked out and God I'm so glad I finally got her. The girl of my dreams. My own piece of perfect heaven.
