AJ agreed to go to the party with me, so that'll be fun. The waitress came up to the table and smiled.
"Is there anything I can get you?" she asked.
"We're fine for now, thanks," AJ told her.
The restaurant was so romantic. The lights were low and candals were set everywhere. We had a table by the river, which was beautiful. There were white rose petals scattered on the table, which reminded me of a wedding reception.
"Do you want to go stand out by the river?" AJ asked.
"I would love to," I said. AJ called the waitress over and paid for the dinner and then we were out on the dock.
Across the river you could see Tampa University, it looked so antique.
"Melissa, I have to tell you something," AJ began, he looked nervous. I wonder what he had to tell me.
"Yes?" I asked.
Just then, rain began to pour down, soaking us immediatly. I shreiked at the coldness of the rain. I went to run under the balcony so not to get wet, but was stopped by AJ grabbing my hand. I turned around quickly and looked at him.
"I love you," he told me. I gasped. My heart began to pound and I was speechless. My world was now complete. I could live in a perfect world. AJ was my perfect world. Emotions were running wild. I tasted my own tears mixed with the water pouring down from the heavens.
"I love you too," I cried and fell into his arms. I held onto him tight and I didnt care that we were in the freezing rain, all that mattered was that AJ was holding me. I didnt need anything else in the world. (Ok, I dont know if anyone else noticed this, but in most of my fic thats how he tells her he loves her, in the rain. Its romantic and how I wish it would happen to me. So, I like this method, if you dont, oh well : )~ )
I could hear AJ sob, tears of joy, into my neck. He pulled away and looked me in the eyes.
"You dont know how long Ive wanted to tell you that," AJ said smiling.
"Probably not as long as I have," I laughed.
"Try me," he smiled.
I brought my lips closer to his and finally, he closed the small gap in between us. Giving me the sweetest and most memorable kiss ever experienced. I wish everyone in the world could feel and understand what I am feeling.
~The Next Day~
I was rushing around my apartment, trying to get ready for this party, when the phone rang. I ran to the kitchen and clicked on the phone.
"Hello?" I answered. I dont think it would be AJ, hes supposed to be at home getting ready.
"Hey Melissa," it was Megan.
"Hey!" I exclaimed.
"I just wanted to see what you're doing tonight," Megan said.
"Me and AJ are going to a party, you?" I asked.
"Nick and I are staying in," she answered, her voice happy.
"Cool," I said clicking my tongue.
"Yeah, well what are you doing tomorrow?" she asked.
"Recovering from tonight," I laughed.
Just then there was a knock at my door.
"Meg, I gotta go, someone's here," I said and hung up. I rushed to the door and opened it.
"Happy Valentines Day m' dear," said the almost revolting voice, the one I dread to hear every day. None other than Josh.
"Damn, you look good tonight," Josh said looking me over. I looked down at my short red dress and white heels to match. My hair was up in a French twist and my makeup was done. All I needed was AJ.
"Josh, what do you want?" I asked, irritated.
"I wanted to say Happy Valentines Day," he smiled. I got the chills up my spine when he did this.
"Thanks, I'll talk to you some other time," I said as I swung the door to shut it.
Josh caught it with his hand. I jumped, startled.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"I just wanted to know if you remembered someone," he said. Just then, from the side, the guy from the elevator appeared. I gasped, startled. I swallowed and looked at Josh.
"I dont appreciate it, what your friend did to me," that guy hissed.
"You deserved it asshole!" I shouted.
Just then AJ, Nick, and Brian walked up behind Josh and that guy.
"Who are they?" AJ asked walking past them and into the apartment. He glared at Josh.
"No one, they were just leaving," I said. Nick and Brian shoved their way past the two guys and were now standing behind me.
"We left something over here earlier for Leah and Megan, so I'll just go get it," Brian said and walked off.
"Thats that f*cker from the elevator, Bone," Nick said pointing the guy out. AJ's face got red with anger and his fist clenched up into balls.
"We'll be back later," Josh said and walked off. I looked at AJ and then at Nick. Brian walked out of the room and tossed something to Nick.
"Lets go," Brian said.
