When: you and your boyfriend John b were dancing to a slow song and talking about the future. Warnings: none Requested Mirelle1002
Midsummers was one of the best nights in the whole year, and although my parents and I live on figure 8, I spend everyday on the cut with my best friends, kie, Sarah, pope and j and most special of all my boyfriend John b. Midsummers was always a special time for us, it's our anniversary. Tradition as well every year to go and dance together, without a care in the world.
Normally Pogues and people who live on the cut side of the outer banks aren't allowed to attend midsummers unless they were working but I cut some strings to allow John b to be my date. Some of the many perks of being a kook and a pogue.
"Hi" I smiled as I walked down the stairs of my home to my parents and John b, just before we head off to midsummers. I started at him as I walked down the stares, he looked starstrucked, entranced, he gawked all the way till I was at the bottom of the stairs hugging him and pecking his cheek.
"Wow...you look, wow" he stumbled his words speechless, "you ready to dance the night away?" The couple smiled at each other till Amelia's mother asked for photos, "just a couple, it won't even take a minute." Is what she said, in reality they were there for more than just a minute taking more than a few photos.
When Amelia and John b were finally finished with her mum taking photos of them, that were most definitely going to be going straight into the photo albums her mum had been saving throughout the years, which had Lia's most fondest memories of her childhood from her first steps to her first day at school and her friend group growing up.
Amelia's parents had set up a chauffeur to drive the couple privately to midsummers. Which the couple appreciated immensely. When they arrived Amelia took a few seconds to really take in the view, fairy lights lit up everywhere, the sun setting, it was magical. John b just stared at his girl, "it's beautiful" she said, taking it all in, "it is beautiful" he stated, still staring at her. Lia turned to look at him a giant smile upon her lips.
"Come on, let's go dance!" She grabbed his arm and ran with him towards the dance floor. The music was bustling before they got to the dance floor, but when they joined it only got faster. Throughout the night she ignored all the rich people and just danced with John b, despite her parents asking her to meet people and have conversations with them.
Under the canopy of twinkling fairy lights, midsummers buzzed with joy, Amelia had kept dancing while John b went to get the a quick refreshment. Her long white dress flowed everywhere, her hair bounced with each step as she twirled around in beat of the music. John b had forgotten all about the drinks he was supposed to get as he watched his girlfriend dancing without any care in the world, his smile was wide as he stared at her adoringly.
"You look like your having the time of your life," he said to her, as he watched her come over, him remembering the drinks and grabbed her one quickly. Amelia grinned at him, her eyes sparkling. "Thank you gentleman," she replied after he passed her a drink, "that's because I am! Come on dance with me!" She out down her drink and grabbed his hand, pulling him into the swirling crowd.
They moved together in sync to the bustling music, laughter and music surrounding them, the world felt alive and happy. After a while, they stepped to the edge of the dance floor, breathless and giggling. "Do you ever think about what's after all this, what's next for us?" Amelia asked, her expression shifting from joy to contemplation. "After summer ends, and next year, I mean."
John b ran a hand through his sun-kissed hair, glancing out at the ocean beside them. "All the time. I mean, it's scary to think about life after everything, but.. I can't imagine it without you, or even not being with you."
Amelia smiled to him, "yeah, same," she replied to him, her heart fluttering at his words. "I was thinking maybe we could find a little place beside the beach, you could start a surf school and teach cute little kids how to surf and catch waves." She told him her dream. "I can totally see me running around the beach with little kids in a wetsuit, I'd be amazing at it." He chuckled, shaking his head playfully.
"And I can be right beside you, forever." She teased, nudging him. "I really want to open a cafe for friends and families and everyone to hang out. I wanna build a life of adventures, lots of road trips, bonfires at the beach." John b took a step closer to her, looking deep into her eyes. "I love that idea, I can totally see you running a cafe right beside my surf shop for everyone." He pauses for a second. "What, what if we split or things don't go the right way?" Genuinely concerned.
"We won't, we always find a way back, we won't let anything define us, ever!" Her conviction was infectious, and John b felt a rush of hope. "Okay then, promise me... we'll chase those dreams together, no matter what," he said, his voice steady.
"Pinky promise," she replied giggling, sealing the ultimate pact with the utmost ultimate way, the pinky promise. A smile spread across her face. They sealed it all with a quick kiss, laughter bubbling between them both. The look of love amongst them. All their friends and family stared at them from all over the place, big smiles across their faces to. "Now come on, let's keep dancing!" She smiled at him, yet again dragging him back to the dance floor.
As the night deepened, they returned to the dance floor, their movements a perfect blend of joy, connection and laughter. The stars above shimmered like their dreams, endless and bright, and for Amelia and John B, the future felt as infinite as the ocean before them.
