I went to park to meet Jared. He looked super cute with his white shirt, dark blue blazer and dark blue pants. He blushed at the sight of me.
A natural smile had come across my lips too. It's has been so many years that I smiled so gently to him.
"Hey" he called
"Hi Jared, all okay you are fine right?" I asked
"Yes, why?" He asked
"No, you asked me to meet so urgently so I was concerned" I replied
"Oh, I had actually had to talk to you about something." He said shyly
"Yes?" I replied
"I wanted to talk to you about us." He said he exhaled
I inhaled my breathe understanding where this conversation is going and replied, "oh"
Jared and I both remained quiet for a long time. Obviously it was an awkward silence.
"So what you wanna talk about us?" I asked
He handed me a red bouquet of flowers
I freaked our, "Jared, this...."
"What are you even trying to do?" I asked in vexed getting as red as a tomato.
"Umm, Serene listen to me. I know you hate me and all but-"
I cut Jared off
"But what, what is even left to be talked."
Jared nervously kept the bouquet on the nearby bench and touched my shoulders, and looked at me in my eyes
'His hands are trembling like he is still in love with me. His hands only tremble only when is super nervous or deeply frightened.'
"Serena, hear me out please!" He said
I was nervous too. He continued looking straight into my eyes. His hands moved from my shoulders to my face. I wanted to resist but his deep gaze which looked straight into my eyes and made my adrenaline rush even more faster, didn't let me throw up his hands, I stood straight. We were so close to eachother that we could have felt breathes, his aura , his smell everything could be felt taking me straight our past. Times when we both loved eachother dearly.
FLASHBACK OF SERENA AND JARED
"Jared, be careful. It's a new car and you don't fully know driving yet." I said sitting worried next to the driver seats as Jared speed up his beautiful red car which was open from up.
Jared laughed cutely, "There is nothing in this world that I can't do Serena."
Jared and I have been really close friends all this times. Though there was rumors that he had feelings for me and I reciprocated but Jared was a that hot popular guy that everyone wanted, so I always doubted that why leaving every one else he wanted me. He did have a lots of part relationships and his ex girlfriends used to get jealous of me.
Jared had recently got a new car so he offered me to take on a ride and because of all those chemical changes or hormonal changes that my body was going through, though I wanted to say no, my heart didn't let me.
He wanted to go besides the beach side, but he himself dressed in a black suit that way, whereas I was wearing a beautiful white dress full sleeves, with pearl earrings and my straight hair curled on that day. We both were overdressed for the beach but as per me, it was like I was going out with my crush for the first time so the teen inside didn't let me underdress for this event.
Just then he took a highway turn. "Aren't we going to the nearby beach?" I asked Jared
"No" He replied
"Then" I asked back
"Hmm, we are going to that resort beach." He said blushing at the corner of his smile
"But why there?" I asked surprising
"You will find out soon." He replied as he winked his one eye at me.
My heart was about to get explode. It was so intoxicating.
We reached the resort. He holded my hand firmly and took me directly behind the resort.
He was decorated with red petals and heart shaped balloon. The view was fabulous. It was breath-taking
"Honey, this is for you" He said and gifted me a letter wrapped in a red ribbon.
He took my left hand and took me middle of the beach, with flower petals making up a heart shape, the beautiful sound of waves hitting the shore could be heard.
Suddenly someone started playing the song, "Thousand years" it was like a total fairytale for me. I felt like a princess and Jared being my Prince charming.
I busted into a cute laughter.
"What is this Jared" I said blushing thinking that I'm day dreaming
"Listen, read the letter right now" He said
I gentle opened the pink ribbon and started reading
'Dear Serena
Ever since I looked at your blue eyes, time has stopped for me, I can't have enough of admiring the way you laugh, smile, flip your hair and everything you do is so flawless. First I thought it was just infatuation and being with another girl will end it up but I was so wrong. Oh girl what have you even done to me? I have never done this to any girl in life, I have never felt about anyone else in my entire life.. so what comes next be prepared
From your and only only
Jared'
I nervously looked at him, I was shaken by his words. He was already on his knees, his hand were literally shaking as he was holding a bouquet of red roses.
"You have already read the letter and now you must be very clear where this is heading" so he cleared his voice and with is nervous yet strong voice he said
"Words cannot decide my feelings for you, so let me recite a poetry by Ellen Everett." He said and took a deep breathe in and said
"If you are looking for forever, I'll take the batteries out of my clocks-
So will we struck inside this moment as if the time has really stopped.
I would tell you I love you every second, except seconds here doesn't exist. So I will tell I love you with each breathe,with each smile, with each kiss. So when I die, you can crank you watch, restart the clocks, begin the time. And know that we were infinite in the moment that you were mine✨️. I love Serena, love you till my last breathe."
I was numb, my eyes were wet in tears of happiness. No one had ever done that for me. My feelings were overwhelming. I hid my face with my palms.
I accepted the bouquet gaved him hand and shouted, "I love you too Jared." And we kissed eachother as if the World's gonna end.
That day the sky laughed and sea blushed and we were lost in that moment forever.
PRESENT DAY, BACK IN TIME
I had tears in eyes remembering that day when Jared told me that he will love me forever.
