Chapter 32

February 14, Saturday

Sienna's POV

"Where's Maeva?" I asked, as I walked back to the entrance of my house noticing, that the curly haired brunette and blonde boy wasn't there. "Oh yeah, her and lover boy already left." Kathrin explained casually. "Without saying goodbye?" I questioned sarcastically, faking a hurt look.

"Well, shall we go?" Dylan quizzed, holding a hand out for me to hold, which I gladly took. "Yep." I replied, popping the 'p'. We walked over to his white car as Kathrin went off with John.

The amusement park was so fun. I haven't been here for like a year and I wad so happy to get to go there again. As usual, I always scream on the roller coasters, whining for Dylan to hold my hand the whole time, and acting super shaken up and frightened afterwards. Then he tries to apologise for making me so scared by trying multiple different carnival games to win me a decent prize. Why can't he just understand that I really don't need it? Oh well, a prize is a prize, I'm taking it.

And of course, my favorite, the ferris wheel. I just find it so fun and romantic. Just us two in one small compartment. And of course, me making him carry me around the place a few hours in since my feet were dying in pain.

It was currently around six o'clock and we have left the amusement park. Instead of bringing me home though, he brought me to this empty field that has a picnic set up. "Why is this place so empty?" I asked, confused as to why there weren't more people coming since a lot of people would probably love to have a picnic on Valentine's day.

"Well, I didn't want it to be too crowded. So... I rented this place for tonight." He explained as I looked at the black haired boy with wide eyes. "What!? You didn't have to do that." I spoke, blushing slightly at the thought of someone willing to do so much for me. "I know, but I wanted to." He responded, grabbing my hand and leading me to the well set-up picnic.

"I hope it didn't cost too much." I murmured under my breath, but of course he heard me. We stopped walking and Dylan turned to look at me with a bright smile. "For you, nothing is too expensive." My half-hearted smile turned into a wide, bashful grin.

My cheeks were flushed and my heart skipped a beat. "Are you blushing?" The black haired boy teased, linking arms with me and walking yet again. I shoved him playfully and muttered a 'shut up'.

Time skip

We've been eating what Dylan prepared for the picnic for a while now. They were all sweets. I guess I have completed my childhood dream... eating dessert for dinner. Now we are just laying on the grass, admiring the stars. Also one of my childhood dreams: stargazing with the Dylan O'Connor.

Back when I was just on the sidelines, having a huge crush on this random boy... I used to fantasise about him. Don't call me a creep, a lot of teenage girls do that. I never thought about that stuff, so I'm technically better than most people.

Either way, I used to fantasise about us stargazing together. I just assumed that there is going to be a lot of talking, and if I'm lucky, gossiping. We would be dropping jokes out of nowhere and laughing our butts off.

But we didn't. It was silent between us. Not a awkward silence. A nice silence. A calm one. I could hear the birds chirping in the distance and the water from the lake nearby rippling. It was so quiet I could hear Dylan's heartbeat from where I laid next to him. Each thump matches my steady breath.

A small smile crept onto my face. This moment, this very moment, was, not gonna lie, one of the best moments I have had with anyone in my life. Yet neither one of us were doing anything. I wanted it to last forever. Just him and I, laying on the grass on a chilly winter day, admiring the beautiful night sky in peaceful silence.

"Do you know there are almost eight billion people alive on this earth?" Dylan asked, breaking the comfortable silence. I furrowed my eyebrows, confused on the point of that stupid question. "Yea, I'm not an idiot." I replied, chuckling slightly straight afterwards.

"And from that eight billion, around five hundred of them came to this school." He continued, me nodding slightly, still quite confused on where the conversation was going. "And then, from that five hundred people I have dated around ten." He told me.

"And from that ten people. That ten people that shrunk from five-hundred, which was a fraction of eight-fricking-billion, I have never felt happier with anyone other than you." The black haired boy finished.

My face was crimson red and my heart was beating rapidly. Who would have thought, the boy of my dreams would be saying something so cheesy yet romantic like that to me. The simple little girl that nobody really bothers to notice.

I was so flustered that I didn't even reply. I could feel his hand slowly snake down my arm and slither to my left hand. He held it tightly, as if his life depended on it. Dylan then sat up, leading to me sitting up as well. He turned his head to look at me, ,my bronzed brown eyes staring into his icy blue ones.

He slowly leaned in, capturing my lips into his. Our soft kiss soon turned into a more heartfelt one. It lasted a few seconds, but we had to break it apart to catch our breath. We leaned on each other's foreheads, our rapid breathing was the only thing that could be heard.

The black haired boy gazed into my eyes again. "Sienna Millers..." He started saying, my heart beat increasing quickly, butterflies being felt in the pit of my stomach, "I love you."

That was it. The three words I have been longing to hear him say. The feeling I felt that I just couldn't put my finger one. Those three words kept ringing repeatedly at the back of my head.

'I love you.'

Instead of replying though, I acted like a dumbo and said nothing. I widened my eyes, mouth gaping open with no words coming out. His eyes widened as well, for different reasons though.

"Y-- y-- you don't have to say it back. I'm no-- not pressuring you or anything. You can say it whenever you feel like it. Oh God, is this too soon? I'm so sorry if it is. Maybe I should have waited a few more months. It's just-- I thought since it's Valentine's day and stuff and--"

I cut him off from his rambling before he could finish by putting a hand on his shoulder, his body becoming less tense.

"I... love you too." I uttered out, leading to Dylan replacing the worried look on his face with a relieved one. That was it. That was the first time I have ever said 'I love you' to any boy or girl. My heart was fulfilled.
