A Night To Remember

8 pm: I came to pick you up. When you walk into the car, you looked beautiful. More so than ever. Instantly, the car was filled with your scent. It was euphoric.

As we head on our journey, you smiled a lot constantly looking over my direction. I looked at you briefly and you quickly turned away. I asked what was on your mind and you replied hesitantly, "nothing".

9 pm: We arrived at our destination. Surrounded by a crowd, we talked, drank and laughed a lot. Although a little awkward at first, things start to get more comfortable with time.

11 pm: As the crowd shrunk, it became more quiet. We sat a while, making small talks and not too long later, we left the reception.

On the way back, you decided to head to a quiet place just the two of us. You opted for a place nearby with soft music and dimly litted ambience.

12 am: We ordered a couple of drinks each. As you sat next to me, I saw the sparkle in your eyes of which I would never comprehend. That moment, we talked about the moon, the stars and the universe.

2 am: I felt a little light headed and tipsy. You suggested a walk would do both of us good. As we walked side by side, your hand brushed against mine. Our fingers trickled and I held on to your hand.

Hand in hand, you lead me to a nearby garden. We sat down on the park bench and you giggled when I rub my sweaty palms together. You sensed I was feeling anxious.

3 am: You sat close to me, I could smell the scent of shampoo on your hair and the tone of perfume around your neck.

You leaned closer, putting your head on my shoulder. I kissed your forehead and gave you a soft hug. "I am cold", you said. I wrapped my arms around you rubbing your skin to give you warmth. Looking up at me, you put your hand on my face. I lifted your chin and leaned in towards you.

4 am: We kissed for the very first time.
