(Taylor's POV)
It's been a week since me and Laura hung out. We've both been too busy to hang out outside of work. I miss her.It's kinda late but I'm still gonna text her.
"I miss you Laura😢"
"I miss you too"
"When can I see you again?"
"I'm free for the next 3 days are you doing anything
tomorrow night?"
"Nope"
"Great I'll be over there"
"Yay!!!🎉🎉"
I couldn't wait. I went to sleep early hoping that'll make time go faster. I woke up and followed my same routine. Since I didn't have to go to work today I sat on the couch and watched tv for most of the day. I had no idea when Laura was coming over so Around 8 I got dressed and waited on the couch for Laura to get here. When the doorbell rung I knew it was Laura so I raced to the door. I opened it and hugged her tightly. I gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Wow you must have really meant it when you said you missed me." Laura laughed
"I did, I missed you a lot." I replied.
"Ready to go?"
"Yes."
We pulled up to an amazingly beautiful park. Laura pulled a picnic basket from the back seat.
"Follow me." She said as she walked in front of me.
She laid out a blanket and started to pull out the food.
"Isn't it a little late for a picnic?" I ask
"It's never too late to eat."
"You're right."
We ate, talked, and laughed until it was completely dark out and the park was empty. I turned on my side to face Laura and she did the same. I believe she was talking about food or maybe it was animals. I don't really know I was too busy admiring her and getting lost in her eyes. I found myself doing that a lot recently.
"I don't think your ever too old to do that." Laura stated
"Too old to do what?" I asked hesitantly.
"To play and have fun at a playground. Gotta let out your inner child you know." She laughed
"Hey I'll race you to the swings!!!" Laura said as she got up ran.
"Wait You cheated!!"
We got on the swings and it was actually amazing. I haven't been on a swing in a really long time. Next we played on the slide. Now we were running around and giggling like kids. People would think we were crazy. We played tag and it was hard catching Laura because she was faster than I thought. Soon we got tired and walked back to were we had the picnic set up.
"Damn your fast." I say as I lay back on the blanket.
"I've been told." Laura smirks
I looked up at the sky. The Stars were shining brightly.
"Wow everything is so beautiful. The stars, the park, the grass." I said
"Yeah I agree. You know what's even more beautiful than this?"
"What?"
Laura propped herself up on her elbow and turned to look at me. I reciprocated her actions.
"You." She answered
I felt myself go weak. It's amazing how easily she can do that. I don't think she know how much power she has over me. I put my head down to hide my rosy cheeks. I knew it was the perfect time to tell her. I looked up and met her eyes. I instantly realized that it was a mistake.
"Laura." I started
"Yeah?"
Then I froze again like always.
"Thank you for bringing me here. I've lived around here for 3 years and I've never been here before."
It happened again. I backed out.
"Get used to it. I plan on taking you all around the world." Laura replied
"All around the world?"
"Anywhere you can imagine."
Anywhere with Laura sounds amazing. I could be locked in a basement and still be happy as long as Laura is with me. I looked at Laura and stared at her lips. I really want to kiss her. My thoughts were interrupted when Laura grabbed her finger and grimaced in pain.
"What's wrong?"
"I cut my finger on something."
"Let me see." I say as I grab her hand.
It was a long scratch down her index finger. It was bleeding a little.
"Does it hurt?"
"It did at first but now it doesn't."
"Don't worry I have band aids."
I pulled out a band aid from my purse and slowly put it around Laura's finger.
"Thank you babe."
"Your... Your.... Welcome." I stuttered.
I looked into her eyes and I held onto her hand a little tighter. It was now or never. I look at her lips and did the unthinkable. I leaned in and I kissed her. Yes I KISSED her. It was short and sweet. I can tell Laura was surprised but I think she liked it. I moved backward.
"I'm so so so sorry Laura I didn't mean.."
She stopped me.
"Stop it. Don't be sorry Taylor....Do it again."
"Wha... What?!?" I exclaim
"I said do it again."
I bit my lip and did as she said and I leaned in and kissed her again. This time it was more passionate. I got closer to Laura to close any space between us. Now I was on her lap. Her hands ran up and down my back and my hands were lost in her hair. She pulled away to catch her breath and put our head against each other.
"Wow. You have no idea how long I've been wanting to do that." I whispered.
Laura laughed lightly.
"Same here."
OH MY GOD WHAT!!!! So Laura did have feelings for me!??? How was she so good at hiding them?
"Really?" I ask
"Yes really." She answers
"It's getting pretty late I should get you home."
We packed up and walked back to the car. Laura held my hand. She always holds my hands but this time it felt different. It was a good kind of different. I held her hand throughout the whole ride back to my house. She parked the car and rubbed her thumb against my hand.
"Tonight was amazing." She said
"Yes it was. We should do it again soon."
"Well I'm free for the next 2 days. I would love to spend them with you."
"I would like that a lot. So I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Yes you will."
I give her kiss on the cheek and open the door to get out.
"Taylor wait." Laura says
"What's wrong?"
"Remember when we had a movie night at your house and you said you had feelings for someone but you were too afraid to tell them?"
"Yeah I remember."
"Who was the person."
I took a deep breath and looked Laura in her eyes and said...
"It was you."
I finally got a new chapter up 🎉🎉 yay!! Laylor is slowly becoming real. I have had the weirdest day. I got beat up in a mall by an old lady and her incredibility heavy purse because she thought I was her granddaughter 😑 I wonder how she can carry that purse around when it weights more than she do. 🤔🤔
