𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐖𝐄 𝐌𝐄𝐓 [ᴄ.sᴛʀɴʟ] ON GOING

𝐓𝐖𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐘 𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐄

I sit on random stairs and listen to the music that i can still hear from where i am. All of the sudden, I hear footsteps coming towards me...

"Ivy, are you there ?" a voice asks

I immediately recognize Chris' voice. I stand up and fix my dress and everything. I take a last deep breath.

"Yes, i am" i answer

His face appears and he smiles as he sees me. I awkwardly smile back, trying my best not to blush

"I looked for you everywhere !" he says

"Well, you're the only one" i sigh "I was just in the bathroom..."

"Are you okay ?" he asks with a concerned face

"Yeah, almost broke my ankle but everything's good" i fake smile

"She didn't do it on purpose..." he continues

"Sure, because you don't know her and her messed up behavior !" i interrupt him

"Don't get mad...Your friends are just trying to be cool with us" he tries

"The thing is that she is a fucking hypocrite and act nice in front of new people !" i sigh a second time

"After all, it's not like we really care...we came here for you, not your friends...I came here to spend time with you..." he holds my hands "...laugh with you, drink with you" he makes me twirl "and dance with you"

I giggle and he smiles at me. I smile back, unable to contain the redness of my cheeks. He gently grabs me by the waist and pull me closer to him. He leans over and whispers to my ear

"Turn around, i have another surprise for you" he declares

The softness of his voice makes my skin burn. I nod and turn around. I close my eyes and feel something around my neck.

"You can look now..." he says

I open my eyes and see a necklace with little gold ivy leaves on it. It's so pretty. I turn around to look at him. I'm all baffled by his gift. It's just so sweet and thoughtful of him.

"Chris, this is amazing ! Thanks you ! I don't know what to say..." i stutter

"You don't have to say anything...You're my valentine, you deserve gifts !" he says with the softest smile on his face

I'm his valentine...Did he just say that I am HIS valentine !?  I grab him by his vest and press my lips on his. I step back and notice his chocked face. Oh my god...What did I do ?

"Sorry, I-"

He takes my face in both of his hands and leans in to kiss me again in a way more passionate kiss. His soft lips on mine, my hands on his chest. It's so intense that i forget everything. Just warmth wrapped around my body that makes me feel like we're levitating. Shortly after, our tongues are playing with each other in a long and deep kiss. We both end it, out of breath. It was my first kiss and it felt like heaven. My  stomach is full of butterflies, my legs are all flimsy, it just feels like a dream. It's so unreal and pleasant at the same time

"Hum...sorry to interrupt" says a voice on the side "James is looking for you, Ivy"

It's Bella. I step back since I'm literally in Chris' arms. We are both embarrassed while Bella is staring at us with a smirk.

"Oh...we're coming...we will be downstairs in a minute" i stutter

Bella nods and leaves. Chris is about to follow her but i grab him by the wrist.

"Wait...you have lipstick all over your face" i giggle

I gently wipe my lipstick off his pretty lips. All of sudden, he smacks his lips against mine and giggles

"I don't care...I want everyone to now that Ivy Martin, the finest girl on this earth has kissed me !" he announces loud and proud

I wrap my hands around his neck and kiss him again then I grab his hand

"Now, let's go downstairs...Your brothers must be looking for us"

We get downstairs. The music is not blasting anymore, it's now slow and calm music. Most of my friends on still on the bleachers. Nick and Benjamin are chatting together, Matt is on the side discussing with Bella and Olivia. Emma and Cindy are on the dance floor chatting with guys. James is on the dance floor too and it looks like he is looking for me.

"Chris, can you wait for me a second ?" I ask

"Yeah sure, I will sit right there" he shows a row of bleachers

I nod and get on the dance floor to join my friend James. His face enlighten when he sees me

"Bella told me you were looking for me...What's up ?" i say

"Oh...i just wanted to dance with you a little bit and...talk" he says as he hold me to dance with him

He put his hands on my waist to make us swing to the rhythm of the music and i put my hands on his shoulders not to loose balance.

"So...what do you want to talk about ?" i ask, excited to know what he wants to tell me

"Well, we know each other for a long time now...and i haven't been nice to you at first" he starts

"Yeah, you literally traumatized me, you were such a jerk at the time" i add with a giggle

"I'm sorry about that..." he apologizes

"You know you've forgiven since a long time, we all cool now !" I smile at him

"Actually, the reason i was mean to you before was because I had a huge crush on you..." he declares

"No way ! I never knew that !" i giggle "Why didn't you tell me ?"

"Because I still do...I have a huge crush on you, Ivy..." he continues

My jaw drops down to the floor. Is he confessing his feelings to me ? No, no, no, no, no...My smile slowly fades. Why now ? Why didn't he say that before I'd fell deeply in love with Chris and that i finally achieved to kiss him. My mind was so blown that i didn't notice that James was dangerously leaning towards me.
