She was going to be late. She ran faster, even though she knew it would make no difference. She looked up . the trees blowing in the spring breeze. Almost there. The girl knew he'd be there. He wouldn't miss this time for the world.
Through the grooves and people she saw him sitting on a bench, not quite as green as the springy green sweater he was wearing over a stripped shirt. Oh how he did look handsome to her while others did scorn. His hair blew slightly in the wind. Her smile lit up as fast as the wind picked up. As her cap flew off her head to new heights, she looked down, realizing her skirt was making an attempt to flash both him and the people around. Frantically, she tried to push it back down with much fail. Suddenly her skirt was jerked down. He had walked over and pulled her skirt to level.
"Thanks a ton. I don't know where that bloody wind came from."
"'Bloody?' What, are you British now?"
"Oh shut up and help me find my hat!"
They looked in the bushes and finally found it next to a hot dog stand. The boy turned to her. "You want one?" pointing at the stand.
"Nah, you never know what exactly's in those things."
"Okay, let's get going then."
Their rendezvous had been going on for a few monthes. Neither of thier parents approved of them being alone together. They didn't understand that they connect more when they were alone.
They were walking together in the pak slowly. Curiously, she asked "Where are we going?"
Putting his arm arounf her shoulders, he smiled and spoke in his usual deep voice. "You'll see when we get there."
Already close to him, she decided it was finally her chance. She slowly lifted her left and dragged it across the bottom of his back until it wrapped around his waist, pulling them close together. The boy blushed, but said nothing. This was the first time she'd ever done something like this.
All was quiet, minus the bird's chirping gleefully and the breeze shifting the trees above. She couldn't help but stare up at him, admiring his stature. He walked witha straight back, making him look even more tall and classy. His thick, majestic, eyelashes brought out his dark eyes. She felt proud.
Suddenly, they came to an open field. It was flat with a few trees and a couple of groups of people. It reminded her of when she was playing football with her swim team in an open field similar to this. She didn't understand. "What in the world are we doing here?" He separated himself from her and put down a bag she had just noticed he was carrying. It was a duffel bag.
Out of said bag he pulled two gloves, a softball, and a wooden bat.
"I thought you might want to play with me."
Sports made her brighten up. "Baseball? Sure!"
They spent two hours tossing back and forth and hitting with a bat, similar to what they did in middle school together.
"Hey! You purposely missed that!"
"No baby, you are jsut an awesome pitcher."
"No throwing the game!"
"Who said I am? Not I."
She stuck her tongue out on his last note. The ball whizzed past her ear, nearly hitting her face. "Hey! You almost hit me!"
She charged after him, more excited than mad. The boy dropped his glve and fled for dear life. She chased him for 5 minutes until she caught up with him, crouched down, and jumped on top of him, causing them to fall into a tumbling, laughing heap. She kept laughing on his chest, his arms wrapped around her. She shifted, attempting ot get up, but she came face to face with him, hovering over his body. The girl held her breath. The boy's face got serious almost immediately as he closed in to try to kiss her.
She stopped him with her hand, her face alight.
"Don't you try to kiss me with that super-duper determined face! Smile! Don't you want to kiss me?"
"Of course I do."
"Well, then smile! Now, where are your tickle points?"
"She sat up, sitting just above his legs. She put her her hands on the sides of his stomach and tickled him. He bellowed with uncontrollable laughter, pleading for her to stop.
"That's much better," she laughed.
She leaned back down and wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him with much content. If they could, they would have stayed like that for an eternity. How they loved each other so.
