Who I Am Hates Who I've Been, chapter 8
Ever know each other, trust these words are stones. Why cuts aren't healing? Learning how to love? I'm melting (I'm melting) in your eyes. I lost my place. Could stay a while, and I'm melting in your eyes like my first time that I caught fire. Just stay with me, lay with me (stay with me lay with me now).
After my little meltdown we were getting pretty bored with walking around the mall. Landon and I decided we would find Darcy and tell her we would be in the car listening to some music. I went one way, while Landon went another. When Darcy's in a mall, there's a chance you won't find her. I was walking along pretty quickly until I saw a cheery couple holding hands. Man, I wish I had someone like that. Shaking off the thought I picked up my quick pace. About four stores I ran through, almost getting in trouble by the clerks, I found Darcy in a bookstore. I should of guessed.
I tapped her on the shoulder which made her squeal. "What the hell Ramona? You trying to get me to have a heart attack?" I shook my head. "Yea to some extent. Anyways me and Landon are going to the car and listening to some music, cause waiting for you gets pretty boring when you've been in the same stores 4 times." All I got out of Darcy was a "mmmhmmm." She was so soaked up in her book she didn't even listen to me. Walking out of the store I yelled back, "Meet us at the car." disturbing some of the people who were reading thier books.
I found Landon waiting outside of the bookstore. "Find her finally?" "Yea, let's get outa here" I said. Then it hit me, we were like friends already. Well, it isn't exactly what I wanted, but at least it's a start. We got past the double doors to find it was snowing. I stepped onto the cement sidewalk and say, " It's so pretty, isn't it?" Oh, jeez I made that line sound so cheesy. "Ramona, wait." I stopped and looked at him, like if there was something wrong.
Taking my hand, Landon looks straight into my eyes, which met with his hazel eyes. "I was going to wait with this, but I wanted to give you something." And with that, he kissed me. Not a cute little kiss, a full on french kiss. Right in the middle of the parking lot, the snow swirling around us, making the moment serene. My knees buckled, and my heart felt as if it was going to sprout wings and fly out of my rib cage. Landon breaking off the kiss, I stood there wide eyed. It was like something in a movie, which gave me the feeling like it wasn't reality.
Walking back to the car in silence, he unlocked the doors and we both got in. "You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that. You are everything I've been looking for." I looked at him, not knowing what to say. I tried to open my mouth but not a sound came out. I was, for once, speechless.
