Love Always
7
The first few stores we went in, I looked at one price tag and ducked out of there as fast as I could. I wanted to look nice, but still be able to afford college. Then we went into Macy's and they were having a sale. I don't buy or wear dresses often, so this was kind of a challenge for me.
We looked around for a while and I tried on five or six dresses. Ace insisted I looked beautiful in all of them, but I know him too well. He liked them sure, but they obviously weren't the dress. We were about to give up and leave, and that was when I saw it. It was beautiful, V-necked halter in a deep green. It was perfect, not too low cut and it off set my bright green eyes perfectly.
I told Ace to hang on, and I grabbed the dress running into the dressing rooms. I came out moments later, and Ace looked shell shocked. "Y-Y-You look amazing!" That was all he had to say, I was sold on the dress. I paid and then holding hands we walked out of the store with Ace carrying my bag like a true gentleman.
We still had about an hour before my mom came to pick us up, so we headed towards the food court. We live in a pretty small town, so the food court is really nothing to special. Having had a late breakfast, Ace and I weren't even really hungry. So instead he bought us both an Orange Julius and we sat down at a table and talked.
You might wonder what two people who are with each other nearly every second of the day could possibly have to talk about, but Ace and I always talked. We talked about everything, and contemplated seeing a movie that night, but instead just decided to rent one from the blockbuster around the corner from our house. It was his turn to pick the movie, I had picked last and after A Walk to Remember I know I will have to put up with something filled with blood and gore.
He picked Final Destination Three. Not to scary but still just scary enough. We sat on the couch in his room, and slipped the movie into the DVD player. I spent almost the entire movie with my head tucked under his arm, with him stroking my hair whispering, "Don't worry Zandria it's only a movie baby". He really is too good to be true!
Finally it was time to go to sleep, and we followed through with our ritual now nine years old. "Always remember and never forget, Ace loves Zandria" he whispered. "Always remember and never forget, Zandria loves Ace" I replied. Then we both leaned in and our lips met in a gentle kiss. Still there were flying sparks. Then we embraced and he whispered as always, "And someday we will get married because I will love you always and forever". With that we parted ways with one final smile in each others directions.
