I was left dumbfounded when he suddenly clamped his lips around my mouth and mashed his face into mine. I knew I trembled, captured in a moment of magic and wonder.

I looked at him, "W----hat was that for?", I asked.

"What do you think? That's just a kind gesture for my Rexandria who got me this wonderful gift. I am sorry I had no time to buy you one but I'll make it up to you. I promise."

"Says by who? You got me something, your presence. Just know that... You are more than enough." And then his hand came to my back and he pulled me against him. Feeling a burst of tenderness against his chest, I slowly moved and leaned.

We walked, hand in hand, enjoying every minute, savoring the moment and when we're just a few blocks away from home, he asked me to turn back and I obliged. "I did put something in your pocket and check it once you get home. Go now!", and he hurriedly ran away. His instructions just made my curiosity grow even bigger and to my surprise, he actually got me a wing pendant.

"Someone told me that he didn't have the time to buy me any gift for our first date but left a pendant inside my pocket. Isn't he a good bluffer?", I asked while I feel my pounding heart skips its beats.

"Did you actually buy that? Hahahaha! I am expecting you to wear it, okay?"

"I can't even tell you in person how much I like it and how much I am thankful for everything."

"You can thank me everyday because from now on, we'll see each other all the time.", he said.

You got to be serious about that because if one day comes and you won't show up, I'll search for you through a thousand worlds.
