My heart pumping blood times two per second, the blood rush through my bloodstream sounds loud in my own ear.
The open field is packed with students, families, and relatives. The sun above shining just enough for not to feel the heat of June weather. Cool air blew, swishing my hair, momentarily zoning out from listening to the speaker.
I glance ahead, past from the made up stage and towards the building behind.
Riverway, is the school where I used to be lonely, miserable and happy.
So many things happened during my six year stay in this school. I got to meet new people and some of them became important to me. This school is where everything started, where I met Wayne.
Because of this school I became independent, strong, and brave to meet new people and honed me with a skill for my future.
Shifting my weight on my foot right to left. I wait with anticipation coursing on my veins, this is the last, I thought.
The last time I'll be here in this school.
"JAYRO ROSE SIMONS."
My name rang loudly on the speaker and my body jolted in excitement and nervousness, but nevertheless, I moved and walked to the stage. My cap and graduation gown being blown by the slight wind, giving me a fresh and exhilarating feeling.
With shaky hands, I receive my general diploma and shake hands with the principal and teachers. They shoot me proud smiles that I wonder if I ever was a good student to them. I can't stop the smile on my face as I face the front and see students clapping.
I am happy that we are finally getting out of this school and embark on new journeys.
I scanned the crowd hoping to find my friends and boyfriend, he already climbed the stage earlier and I have never been proud. My eyes land on every friend that I saw and they smile at me, I smile at them also.
My eyes finally settle to those bright green eyes that I know all too well. Those orbs seem to glow more brightly under the sun and with happiness as he looks at me with adoration swirling on his emeralds.
Gosh, he's really handsome.
I took a bow after Wayne nodded at me, hearing the cheers and happy claps of the students. I descended the stage and took my assigned seat.
I look at the paper on my hand, my name is written in bold dark ink and I feel proud of myself.
I just wish they were here to see me and send me off to college though, they are what's missing in this touching moment.
Mom, dad....I miss both of you. I hope you're seeing me right now.
I prayed, looking at the blue horizon with watery eyes. I so badly want to hug them, show them my certificate and boast that I got rewarded with a high honor.
The wind felt somewhat warm with coolness when it blew on my face, caressing my cheeks with their invisible hands and almost knocking my cap off my head.
It's as if they had heard me.
After the ceremony, we were allowed to meet with our friends and family. Loneliness creeps unceremoniously onto me, remembering that my parents weren't here and my adopted parents would rather go to hell, than to congratulate me.
I'd rather them not show their faces here, it'll only add to this loneliness I feel.
"Baby," I smiled when I hear his voice going near me.
Suddenly, my heart fills with happiness and contentment, conquering the loneliness, at least I have him here with me.
"Come with me, let's take a pic. Dad wants to have a picture with the three of us and he also said he wanted it to be framed and hung― "
Wayne paused from his cute giddy rambling when he glance at me, finally took notice in my appearance.
"Baby, what's wrong?" He stepped in front of me, he tilted my head by my chin, making me to look up at him.
I hummed flashing him a tight lipped smile, "nothing." I uttered.
Wayne's brows furrowed, giving his handsome face a look of sadness. "Don't lie, I know there's something wrong." He wiped the corner of my eyes by his thumb and just then, I realized that I was crying.
My lips wobbled and my tears stream down my cheeks, I can't hold them anymore and throw myself on him, burying my wet face on his chest and released the sadness of my heart as I cry pathetically.
Wayne's hands were immediately on my back, rubbing circles and in up and down motion as he comforted me.
"Shhhh it's okay, I'm here, let it out."
Everything blurred, the sounds of other people's laughter, the music played on the speaker sound muffled on my ears. My vision unfocused as tears blocked my eyelids and I couldn't stop them from falling.
I cried out all the sadness that receded in my heart for a long time, I cried out the longing I felt for my real parents. The reality that they won't be here even if I'll pray a million times.
I can only cry, burying my face on his chest and cried for a good few minutes.
My sobs and Wayne's heartbeat is the only sound that manages to get through me, and the rumbling of his chest when he whispers sweet nothings to my ears.
I stayed there for as long as I could, and Wayne just let me. And I can't thank him enough. He caresses my back until I calmed down.
And in that moment, I feel cared and welcomed, I feel at home.
"Are you okay now?"
I pulled my face away from his now wet chest, his hands instantly on my cheeks wiping the wetness away and then to my jaw, guided my head to look at him.
He didn't ask me why I was crying but I knew that he already knew why.
"Do you wanna talk about it?" He's voice were full with worry and reassurance, looking at me with concern that I realize I can always count on him.
Lean on him when everything feels heavy, depend on him, when everything seems against me.
But I think talking about my issues in this kind of situation doesn't fit well. We should be happy that we graduated and not feel down because of something that happened from the past.
No need to dwell in negative emotions on this 'should be happy event'.
Composing myself, this time, instead of a pained smile, I showed him a real one, with the genuine emotions I felt right now.
Happiness and love for this male.
"Later?"
"Okay, but make sure to tell me or I'll punish you little angel."
My cheeks burn up by his words, I still can't get used to him calling me 'little angel' instead of baby. And oh, his punishment always made me feel strange on my body, I always felt hot and bothered.
"Yes, I promise." I shyly say, peeking at him under my lashes.
I hear Wayne groan and he reaches his hands on my shoulders, gripping it and pulling me to him. He leaned down and captured my lips on his, moving slowly, setting a rhythm that had my heart pounding.
I closed my eyes, savoring the feeling of his lips on mine as we kiss affectionately in front of everyone....
Humnn everyone....
Wait... EVERYONE!!!
My eyes snapped open and Wayne's pleased face came first, and when I shifted my gaze around some students looking at us with smiles, clapping, and some dared to whistle.
Finally, the sound came back to me, but what in the holy moly!???
"W-wayne, I-I think...uhmn babe!" I said between kisses with much effort, Wayne seemed not to notice that people were crowding us, and he just continued to kiss me.
I lightly pushed him away with all my might and Wayne tightened his hold on me, but fortunately, he stopped kissing me.
"What!? Why are you stopping!?" He said with a frown and confusion, attempting to kiss me once again.
"People are watching us." I said barely above a whisper, looking at his chest with heated cheeks.
He looked around after he heard me, only to chuckle and hug me instead. "Is my baby embarrassed?" He said near my ears huskily that sent shivers down my spine.
The students that surround us slowly dissipate and go to their own merry ways, leaving me and Wayne to ourselves. I sigh with relief, crowds always make me feel uncomfortable.
And why did they surround us in the first place? People were nosy, I swear.
"I don't like people staring at me."
"You don't?"
"Yeah."
Wayne let go of me and put his palms on my temples, successfully locking my gaze on him.
"And what about if I stare at you?" The smug smirk on his face just made him more sexy, and instead of feeling annoyed at him from teasing me, arousal surfaced within me.
"I-i don't like it either!" I said avoiding his eyes, flustered.
"You sure?"
"Yeah," came out in a whisper.
"How about i-"
"Son, let's take a picture!" I never had been this relieved for his dad showing up in this kind of situation, that I thanked him mentally.
An annoyed grunt leaves Wayne's lips and pulls my wrist guiding me towards the impatient man we both call Dad.
Staying with them for several months wasn't as hard as I imagined. Dad is accepting and is sure to ask us about our day, he always attempts to lighten up the mood when sometimes Wayne and I have some misunderstandings and a bit of argument.
Yeah, we also have that too. But at the end of the day, we compromise and swallow our pride and apologize. There was a lot of crying ― especially on my part ― and a lot of hot made up lovemaking after.
I blush at the memory.
I learned to compromise after living with them for months, which Wayne loves to call 'cohabitating'.
Our first argument was when Wayne wanted me to go out with him, which I politely declined. I didn't feel well that day and he took it to heart and ignored me for the rest of the day.
But when he finally decided to check on me. He saw me on the bed shivering with cold, alone, and crying. I had a cold that day until the third day.
January weather doesn't suit me, I guess.
He apologized to me nonstop with miserable tears in his eyes, blaming himself to no end after taking care of me the whole night. He didn't sleep at all and skipped school just to take care of me for three days.
That time, I saw how much he loved me. He cried in front of me when I explained why I didn't go on a date with him. He apologized properly after I recovered, and I had to stay in bed after because my body got strained from our intense love making.
I once again blush in the memory.
"Guys!" Noah called out running towards us, he looked strangely happy. On his tail were our friends and one is oddly familiar.
Is that…. Cass!?
"Cass!" I shouted and run towards him. He gladly welcomed me in his arms when I thrown myself at him, cathing me with a bit if struggle.
"How are you? Why are you here?"
"Calm down chipmunk, is it wrong to be here at your graduation?" He said with a raised eyebrow.
The air around him seemed had changed, and his whole demeanor got more....matured.
I separated myself from him and smiled brightly to this one and only relative of mine that I feel some connection with. "No, thanks for coming."
I felt an arm land on my shoulders. "Yeah, thanks for coming Cassy, we missed you." Noah said with flirty tone, I made a face.
Hearing your best friend trying to flirt on your cousin is really weird.
Cass rolled his eyes and ignored Noah. I get out of Noah's arms, leaving the two to talk or bond, ― I don't really want to hear more of Noah's failed flirting ― and goes to Wayne who was talking to his father with a camera on his hand.
Keycee and Mike taking a selfie together, although Mike's face shown annoyance, he just let Keycee do his thing without complain.
Drew and Nate are with their parents, who're taking their pictures while they laugh and talk to themselves, they really look good together.
Roxanne is with her new girlfriends that she said were 'lit', I don't really understand what she's talking about when she said that. They were also taking pictures.
"Baby, come here." Wayne called as he lent his hand for me, I took it without hesitation and he put me in front of him.
I feel his chest and muscles on my back, I suddenly felt warm. His hands slide on my waist, hugging me from behind, his chin is on the top of my head or rather, on the top of my graduation cap, that's on my head.
Doesn't it feel uncomfortable?
"Hey, what's with this pose?"
"I think it's cute, when we have to hung this picture soon, everyone will see just how small you are." Wayne said with amusement and held me tighter.
That immediately put a wide grin on my lips.
With a raised eyebrow, "Hey, you're just showing off how tall you are, aren't you?" I teased.
"No."
"Be honest," I pout.
Even though I can't see his face, I can almost see his smirk. "Baby, I just want to show them how good we are together." His thumb drew a circle on my waist, ghosting over the cloth.
"Show them how perfectly you fit on my arms."
I opened my mouth to reply but I replaced it with a smile when Dad said cheese. Ignoring the burning feeling on my cheeks.
He snapped a picture and a bunch of pictures with himself. He ask Roxanne to take some for us. Who immediately accepted and took millions of photos included herself and all of our friends, she even took my picture with Cass.
After all the frenzy of picture taking, ― I almost thought it would never end ― I released a relieved breath as I sit inside Wayne's car.
My graduation gown and cap discarded on the backseat with Wayne's, as much as I like being on that cloth, it becomes unbearably hot after some time.
I peeked at the window and saw Wayne talking to his father who got in his own car after a while. Wayne slide in in the driver's seat and bought the engines to life. Looking sexy on his white button up shirt and black slacks as he drives the car.
I lick my suddenly dry lips.
With my eyes glued to his sculpted body, I ask. "Are we going home already?" Still ogling this sexy specimen.
"Not yet."
I tilt my head to the side, "why?"
"We're going to visit a special place." He said which only confused me.
What does he mean by special place?
"Okay, hope it's exciting." I said with a smile, letting him do whatever he wants.
He placed his left hand on my hand that's perched on my thigh, intertwining our fingers together, his eyes on the road.
"More than exciting." He said huskily that I couldn't help myself but to shiver. "So sit back and relax baby, I'll take care of you."
He smiles over at me and I giddily chuckle on my seat, finding it extremely entertaining watching him drive with one hand, seeing how his biceps flex when he made a move got my mouth watering.
I wanna lick him all over.
*
Dandelions.
Were the first things I saw while on the passenger seat, I immediately scrambled on my feet, got out of the car right away as I heard Wayne chuckles at my haste.
Woah, how long has it been?
As if time stood still, I am immersed with the beauty in front of me. I'm not quite sure how long since the last time I was here, as far as I remember, I was here together with Wayne.
This place, the dandelion field, held a precious memory of us. And it'll remain here for eternity.
"It's been eight or nine months since we last visited here."
"That long?"
"Yeah, I'm surprised that they bloom earlier than I thought."
Wayne walks further into the field, making sure he doesn't step on the little flowers under his feet, it's hard, proved by his slight struggle.
I breathe through my nose and take a whiff of the earthly scent that surrounds me, the sweet and warm scent thick in the air almost made me intoxicated.
"Come, baby!" Wayne calls after he laid the picnic blanket that he suddenly had, I didn't notice that earlier.
"I'm coming!" I shout back with a wave.
Under a large tree, he stood with a bright smile on his handsome face.
The shade gives him a calm vibe, a feeling that I want to dive. I struggle to get near him, afraid to step on the little gems. Dandelions sure are fragile, but they're the bravest. It put a smile on my face, oh how much I had missed this place.
Standing in front of Wayne, he reached his hands out for me. I look at it with wonder, and he shrugged his shoulder.
What does he want me to do?
"What?" I say with a light chuckle.
"Baby, I want to be a gentleman and guide you down on your seat milady."
I laughed after a short pause, happy tears forming in the corner of my eyes.
"Milady?!" I wheeze for air as I uncontrollably laugh my ass out. I don't know why but it just made me laugh. And the moment, just told me to laugh.
"You're really something babe."
With a laugh on his own, Wayne's arms going around my waist and he pressed against me, making me gasp and swallow my laughter.
"You're evil, laughing in my failed attempt to be a gentleman." He whined with a smallest pout showing. "Well, whatever, I can try again next time and be sure you won't laugh or else."
I raised a brow, "or else?"
He leans down, pressing his lips on the lobe of my left ear. "Isn't it obvious?...I'm gonna spank you and make you squirm around in my lap, as I make your ass red with my handprints on it."
I visibly shiver, arousal getting thicker by the minute. He gently nips my ear that sends an electrifying sensation throughout my body. My toes curl inside my shoes.
"Wayne," I desperately whine, wanting him to do more, to touch me more, and satisfy this raging primal desire he had just awoken.
Then, he suddenly stepped away from me, making me whine and look at him with confusion.
A smug smirk clinging to his sinful lip's.
"Baby, believe me when I say that I wanted to take you right here right now, but I'm holding back. So don't make that sexy face if you wanna eat what I made for you."
I swear, I blushed beet red of how warm my cheeks gotten, I still couldn't get used to Wayne talking pervertedly. I scan the cloth that he had laid, there's a basket next to it.
I took a seat on the blanket and Wayne did the same. "I didn't notice you prepared these this morning." He sat near the tree, his back was on the tree trunk, he beckoned me with his finger and I stood up once again.
Sitting beside him, but he had other ideas in mind. He grabbed my wrist and made me sit in front of him, his chest pressing on my back and he put his chin on my left shoulder.
"I made them at dawn and asked my dad to heat them up when he came to our school, he put them on my car."
Oh...
"Why did you want to visit this place?"
"Just because, this is where everything started between us. And I wanna reminisce about our memories here."
Humming at his explanation, I leaned behind him.
"You're sentimental."
Chuckling, "I am?" He asked.
"Yeah, but it's really charming." He replied with a kiss on my temple.
The warm wind blows on us, I watched the dandelion seedlings fly in the air, being blown by the wind. The sun shining above mercilessly, but the tree's shade shielding us from its unforgiving heat. The beating of Wayne's heart vibrated on my back, urging my own to mirror its pace.
Ever so slightly, Wayne rubs the sides of my waist in a soothing manner that makes me feel droopy. Closing my eyes for a moment, Wayne's calm breath assured me that I'm not alone anymore.
I can be me, and no one will control me ever again. This is the thing I never knew I needed until this moment.
I once thought that my adoptive parents' order is absolute. That I needed to follow and please them to survive in this vast world.
"I remembered, I used to think that I didn't belong anywhere. That my real parents abandoned me because I'm not a good child. And after living with my adoptive parents, I later on realize that being selfish can only hurt me in the end. I should not desire more than I already have because if I do, I'll face consequences."
I took a large intake of air, filling my heavy lungs with it and exhaled the heaviness out. I felt lighter, my chest isn't as heavy as before as if a brick was lifted away.
"Everyday, I reminded myself that I'm useless, I'm not worth anyone's attention, and I don't deserve anything, I don't belong anywhere."
I choke, emotions flowing out of me in volume, with misty eyes, I face Wayne who's looking straight at me, a pained expression on his face as he listens to my sorrow.
He pulled me closer to him with comfortable tightness, I continued to speak while my face on his shoulder.
"The old me, wouldn't dream for this moment to come, for someone loving me unconditionally, and will be by my side." I smiled with my tears rolling down my face.
Wayne bought me out from the hug, cups my right cheek with his left hand, rubbing his thumb under my eye.
With eyes swirling with love and adoration that it sparkled, he said with a soft smile.
"You belong here." And that is enough reassurance.
It's amazing that those simple words held so many warm emotions, his words that now are absolute for me. Because I can see it in his eyes, in his smile, I can feel it in his touch that I, once believed that I'm useless, felt so loved and valued.
"Thank you." I said barely a whisper.
His love for me consumed me, his warmth that is warmer than the sun's filled me, reaching to the deepest and coldest part of my heart and putting light on it, unraveling my hidden agony. Seeing the 'me ' who was discarded along in the past.
Wayne presses kisses on my forehead, on my eyes, on my chin, with the softest touch he could muster.
And finally, he gives a gentle kiss on my awaiting lips. I feel the wetness of his own eyes and that I, can't help myself but to love him harder and kiss him hard. My eyes welled up with tears and a small smile appeared on my lips.
All the thoughts ceased and I could only feel the swarming emotion in my chest. Pulsing through my veins.
"Baby, I love you so, so much and I'll do anything in my power to make you feel loved each and every day."
I let the warm happy tears fall. "T-thank you, I love you so much too." I confirm with such contentment that you can feel it.
And I know he can feel it.
"Oh yeah?" He pinched my nose lovingly. "I love you more." While he wipes my happy tears with his thumb.
"No! I love you more."
Wayne's hands on my waist, tickling me that earned a loud laugh from me.
"No, I love you more and more." He said while I jerk away from his hands that made us plop down on the blanket, him above me gazing down with so much love in his emerald eyes.
I feel like I'm going to melt under him. I bit my lip to stop myself from crying again.
He pressed his lips gently against mine for a moment, then out of nowhere, his eyes burned with lust as his gaze darted across my face.
"Wanna make love to me right her―"
My stomach made its presence by gurgling loudly that I swear I flush a hundred shades of pink. But at least, it saved me from this perverted beast.
"I think we should eat first." He said with a laugh, his emeralds shining with love and amusement as his eyelids slightly squinted.
My heart feels like it's going to burst with the fullness of adoration that he's giving me.
I'm ready, more than ever, to be with him forever and always, for he, is the only one who could make me feel this amount of love for him and for myself.
He is my soul, my breath, and my love.
Before My Wayne could raise up, I pulled him down on me and I...
....KISSED HIM HARD....
THE END.
