It's been a week since the start of our new relationship, I already made plans for her, a plan to spend this day only with her, rescheduling all my appointments for the day and whatever plans I do have.
I have known her for a while, I can say that the date possibly have no use because both of us already shares the memory, knowledge and life about each other, nothing in the past to know of because it wasn't something any of us would like to bring up, though there's not much on my side, but the focus will always be about her and she possibly doesn't want to dig up something she has buried down within.
Any ways, we had this feeling that it's still necessary, or lemme rephrase it, I have that feeling that it's still necessary because I was the one who brought it up, feeling like we did need the alone time, where I wouldn't be sharing my attention with her and something else which I found as important.
It's a weekend, people were at the beach, making it really lively that this is the best area to have this beautiful time. Dad told me that his first date was at the beach, I can remember those info, Jack told me that he took his wife there on their first date too, and somehow, I also had the urge of taking Lydia here too.
The day was meant for her, so she should enjoy it to the fullest while I was being part of it. Jack told me that I should get her someplace fun, he told me that girls like to be playful and really enjoy having their dates where they're going to be playing and having fun. I know that doesn't apply to those who doesn't know much about each other, because they both will try to act all mature, but for the way we all earned our own relationship which took each one of us quite a long time, I believe we fall into that category of people who have to spend their first date having fun time other than taking her to a drink or meal where I am to question her about things I already know, that's not me, I have so many other things I have got to be doing rather than interrogating a lady.
The water was really comfortable for my skin, feeling really relaxed with her before me, we held hands together, moving on a circle as if we were in the center of a stage about to begin dancing tango or waltz, whatever.
The smile on her face was as bright as the sun, she was trying to look away and avoid doing intense stare from me because she was shy yet laughing out loud at what we're doing, I encouraged her to common that we got this, gonna have this dance with her, the water reaching her chest and for me was on my abs as we did nothing but walk around with hands holding each other, going on a circle.
I have never had this kind of experience before, I have not even danced, I don't dance. When I mean I have never danced, it doesn't count with when I might be at home alone, that's the craziest place I can be, keeping myself occupied with whatever that comes to mind. We can see the waves coming, one that can definitely push us off balance, she jumped onto me before the wave strikes, pushing us almost out of the water as we both burst out of laughter for what just happened.
We laid there on the sand on top of the watery soil, the water touching our feets. She turned her head towards me, eyes staring into mine, giving me that look like she can't express her feelings with word, I pushed my body up with my elbow resting on the sand while, relaxing with my side and staring back into her face.
“ You're beautiful....”
She smiled shyly like it was her first time hearing that from me, even though I have said that to her a few times already, even for me, I can't just stop admiring the beauty she came with, never knew how I never saw all this everyday, she was always at that office with me, but I never saw her beauty, I never looked at her this way, I just locked myself out until she broke that barrier without even trying, her beauty is just like the sunrise, getting brighter and brighter as days pass. What would I have done if she had ended up with another man?, Could I have handled that?.
I landed a kiss on her lips, she accepted me in and the kiss lasted for a few seconds before we broke away when another wave hit us, almost drawing us back into the water. We came out from the water, went to our position and rested on our beach bed.
“ We're going to see my parents tomorrow... I believe they'll really love you ”.
She smiled, not saying anything but just looking into my eyes and I kept the intensity. “ I love you ”. She said to me, much like she was confessing whatever was in her mind. I'm still having some doubts in my mind, I know I shouldn't be worried, but I'm, how would they feel when they realize she already has a child?, How will they look at her?, Mom already know her and might understand whatever that might've happened and her story, but Dad, I know what Dad might possibly be thinking, that she might still be in love with her first lover, even though they're no longer together, but that feeling will always be there and she will never give me all of herself because she wouldn't want to go through whatever she went through the last time, she will always be held back.
Dad might possibly have that thoughts, but for me, from all I have seen, I believe that this young girl here is giving me her all.
