Kaleb's POV
I woke up the next morning to Tasha's alarm like always. I rolled over and threw off the blanket and got ready for the day. I decided that since Tasha had to do some things after school I would just dress normally for the day, jeans and a hoodie with boots. After I was dressed I saw Tasha was already in the truck. I rushed outside and got in very quickly. Once inside I got settled and had my seatbelt on I grabbed her hand and smiled. She looked at me and rolled her eye but I saw a smile. With that we were off to hell for the last day of this week.
Through out the day I could not help looking at the clock and counting down the hours until I could go home and put the last finishing touches on our date for that evening. Tonight was going to be absolutely perfect. I could only hope anyways. Once hell finally came to an end I went to the truck quickly because I had realized that this morning I was in such a rush that I had forgotten to lay out out her clothes for tonight but she did have an hour before we had to leave. I realized that I needed to go to Tasty Delights before I dropped her off at the house and let her do her thing and get ready. I hopped in to the driver's seat of the truck and waited for my little firefly to get her ass out here. Finally I see her, messy as fuck bun and all, walking to the truck. Once she's hopped in I look at her with the biggest smile on my face probably looking really creepy but I didn't give a shit. She looks at me and says, "What are you looking at?" I couldn't help but look at her and be so thankful to have her in my life and for her to fully accept me for me. I lean over the console and plant a kiss on her cheek and I can feel her face catch on fire under my touch. I pull away laughing and start the truck. Once we start down the road I can feel her eyes on me and I hear her say, "This is NOT the way back home." I can sense all of her sarcasm because her voice was dripping with it. I just laughed and kept driving. Once we got to Tasty Delights I quickly got out and came back out and just hopped into the truck and pulled away. I could sense that Tasha had started to become puzzled and just nervous but I still couldn't help but laugh.
Once we got home I went to our room and pulled everything out for her. I came back out and saw her standing by the island. I walked up behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist and nuzzled my face in her neck. Today was one of those rare occasions that I was truly very touchy with her. She turned around and looked at me with those sexy green eyes of hers that were actually green for once and I could've just kissed her right then and there but I restrained myself. I could stare into those eyes for days but I had to stop and say, "I laid out your clothes for tonight. You better hurry and get changed." I couldn't help but smirk as I saw the shock and confusion on her face. I let her go and opened my arms to our room and she went in. I know she may be over-thinking all of this but its okay because I know that this date is going to be amazing. While she was getting dressed I just sat down on the couch and made sure my phone was charged for the night because of the music that would be playing later, I also made sure to grab the speaker and threw it in the basket with our dinner. I quickly made myself look casual on the couch but I knew I failed when she came out and all I could hear was that laugh of hers. I got up and picked her up in my arms and spun her around and her laughing didn't cease.
When I put her down and she was steady I grabbed her hand and the basket and lead her out to the truck. Once we were in I started it up and drove to the park. While it being mid October it was an oddly warm evening for once which is very rare this time of year but I'd gladly take it! We drove in silence but it was a comfortable silence, which our silences tended to be very comfortable. When we arrived at the park I opened her door and helped her out of the truck. She hopped down and looked up at me with a smile. When she smiled at me I couldn't believe she is letting me call her mine. I can't believe that after everything we'd have been through she's still choosing me, out of every other person in this world she chose ME. II took her hand as she carried the basket and lead her to the spot that I had found, it has a table in the middle surrounded by trees and I came by earlier in the day and hung some lights in the little gazebo as well as by the table. When we got there I dropped her hand and went and plugged in the lights, which gave the space the extra bit of light it needed as it was dusk, I turned around and saw the happiness on her face which made me smile like no other. This girl had an effect of me. She made me so happy and she made me be a better me. I grabbed her hand and pulled her in for a nice tight hug and I felt her relax, and I love that feeling. When she pulled away I led her to the table where she sat the basket and started to pull things out. Once I had all of our favorites out and the silverware I sat down across from her and pulled out my phone. I snapped a quick photo of us smiling and being silly like always and then started playing some soft music in the background.
We ate silently at first and it was comfortable. As we ate I held her hand from across the table and just was really happy. We made some small talk when we finished the main course but I decided I wanted to wait on dessert. I stood up and put out my hand for her to take and she greatly took it. I lead her to the gazebo with my speaker in hand. I sat it down and turned it on. I turned on the song "Writing on the Walls" by Sam Smith and I saw her face light up. I pulled her in and wrapped my hands around her waist and she wrapped hers around my neck stepping closer so that we were almost chest to chest. Tasha looked up at me and said, "You remembered our song." I looked at her and said, "I never would forget it. This song was the one that brought us closer and made me also realize that I was falling in love with my best friend." When I said this she looked at me, her eyes huge, and her mouth was open. I start to worry but then she says, "That was the night I realized I was falling for you but suppressed it for all these years." With that I dropped my arms as she dropped hers. I cupped her face with my right hand, never losing eye contact with her, then my left hand and pulled her in slowly so that our bodies were touching, I slowly started to lean in and she did as well. Then it happened our lips met and it was like all the movies, the fireworks the spark everything. Our lips moved slowly at first, my hands still on her face, but then the kiss intensified I moved my hands from her face down her body to her hips and her arms snaked around my neck and in my hair. This was truly one of the best kisses I had ever had in my life. When we both pulled away out of breathe I couldn't believe that we had both grown as much as we have. When I caught my breathe I asked, "You ready for some dessert?" I smirked as I said this and she blushed a deep shade of red. I then said, "I mean some nice cheesecake from Tasty Delights" laughing when I saw the look on her face. I took her hand and lead her back to the table and pulled out the dessert and gave her a fork. Watching her enjoy her dessert made me smile like no other because she is so beautiful and cute even when she doesn't realize it. I can't believe she feels the exact same way I do. I am falling in love with her and I can't wait to tell her.
