Falling in love for the second time in my life..
it was immediate. Despite desperate thoughts of never being able to trust or fall freely ever again, with the right person at the right moment it all became possible. I sat in the catering hall with my legs crossed, the music was blasting and my feet ached for dancing all night in high heels. I wondered why he hadn't acknowledged me, I thought he liked me. My eyes wandered to where he was seated, he seemed to be having fun, not worried by the same thoughts running through my head. It was 11:45, the party would be over in about an hour, and if I didn't speak to him all night I knew I was going to go crazy. The dj announced that dessert was being served, and we sang happy birthday to the birthday girl, celebrating her sweet sixteen, my former cheerleading captain. I rose out of my seat to walk with my friends to get cake, as I felt him actually looking at me. I pretended not to notice as he started to walk towards me, and my heart suddenly started to race and he told me he had something important to show me outside. He led me out the door, and opened the tent that was put up to show the guests which path to take to the main tent he had cocktail hour in. Puzzled, I asked him what he was doing, but he insisted he had something to show me. A rush of October air sent chills up and down my spine, and I shook as he led me down all kinds of stone paths through the country club. Soon enough I could see twinkling lights ahed of us, and I couldnt help but become more intrigued. There, sat a gazebo, on a pond with lanterns hanging from the trees surrounding it. A smile creeped across my face at the romantic sight of it all, I had to remind myself I wasn't dreaming under the full midnight moon. He took my trembling hand as I looked into his baby blue eyes and he gave me that boyish half smile and rolled his eyes with embarassment. His hand slipped around my waist and his lips met mine, he pulled me closer to keep me warm and held me in a silence that was comforting. We kissed again and again, and every time I felt the fireworks. I didn't admit it, but in that moment, I fell for him, just like that.
