"It makes no difference, does it? Why waste so much time in pressuring her to give us a chance, we can just give her time to have a rethink, I'm sure things will get better, what do you think?" Chloe asks as she lits the incense in her room releasing floral aroma to the air.
"The aroma is same as ever, it has a nice smell, I…" Nate was speaking when Chloe cuts in.
"Changing topic Nate?" she asks
"Let's not worry about mother, if we love each other, it is enough proof that we will last long and mother's objection has no ground when we are in love, honey. You did no wrong and her not accepting you is unacceptable" says Nate rubbing her palm roughly with his.
"It has been so long, Nate, you rarely wear this, last I remembered was our outing last year, you looked like a cute angel and so do you right now" says Chloe giving Nate a Smile as she admires his look.
"Oh my dress? I was getting suffocated from dressing up in those tight suit, an armor would be much better than it" Nate says adjusting his clothing.
"We have to go out Chloe, get dressed so we can go see a movie, which would it be and yes, a matching outfit to light up the day" Nate says as he smirks.
"We will decide when we get there, I'll get dressed and I'm wearing no matching outfit, why be such a baby " says Chloe to Nate with a questioning eyes.
"What is it dear?" Asks Nate cluelessly
"I need to change, go out Nate" she says as her cheek gets reddened with shyness and her hands crossing her chest.
"Do I have to?" Says Nate as he stands up swifty, he moves over to Chloe and he grabs her waist, she gasped In shock as she keeps focus on his face, their faces close to each other as they felt their own breathe against each other.
" Nate?" Chloe says her eyes showing how overwhelmed she was with pleasure at the moment.
"Tell me something Chloe, what do you think would have happened if you hadn't taken my seat that year" He says reminiscing the first day he met her yet still in control of his grip.
It was a season filled with mixed atmosphere, some days were cloudy, some days were hot, and some days were neither. Nate had gone out to the film theater to watch the release of another episode of his favorite movie. He had gone alone and in the disguise of a bear costume has expected of the audience, because of the movie title, "bottled bear". He sat at the extreme left of the theater as it was an ideal spot for perfect viewing. Nate stood up swifty when he notices he had forgotten his popcorn and chicken nuggets, so I slipped out with expectations that his seat would still be there but Chloe had occupied it. He gets back and they involved in an heated argument but it was more of whispering loudly, and the theater staffs asked them to leave politely. Nate and Chloe took off their bear costume ready to let it all out on each other but both got stunned by their unique beauties, and became too speechless to argue, they could only laugh at each others behavior.
"We were such babies, but I deserved that space" Chloe said resting her head on Nate's chest, she could hear the rhythmic beat of his heart.
" I am glad I met you Chloe" Says Nate as he folds her hand round his waist.
"I love you honey" Chloe says staring into his eyes with affection.
"I love you too baby, get ready or we would get late, it is always emotional when we are together" says Nate observing his wristwatch meticulously.
"Where exactly are we going?"
"A mall perhaps or wanna go see a movie, I don't think so, the theater is always full these days, let's go to a calm restaurant " says Nate standing akimbo.
" Hmm! I think I have an idea, I'll get my picnic bags ready and we can have a quiet time close to the lake, you remember the one?" She says with a questioning eyes.
"Oh dear! You have so many ideas, I should make you make you my personal assistant, what do you say ?" Nate teases Chloe as he pokes her stomach.
Their love story grew from friendship to a strong bond of undeniable love, the jovial love and unending togetherness is what makes their love grow strong. Over the years of their relationship, they had to face trials and setup, and they were all devices of Mary, Nate's mother. She was upfront with her threats and does it without fears, she sends every rock their way, ensuring their relationship suffers distress.
"Oh Chloe, this mat is way too big, you should have brought the smaller, I told you about this" says Nate as he spreads the mat while Chloe laughs at him.
"We would sleep and we need more space for that"
"We are here to sleep or spend quality time together?" He says frowning
"Okay relax, we are not here to sleep but we are here to have fun okay, here…I will help you with that " Chloe says but couldn't help but keep laughing.
They finally settled down and set their meal on the mat, Nate watched with love as Chloe mixed the vegetables for the sandwich like a professional chef, he gulped down saliva down his throat at every mixture, Chloe gave him a taste too as she mixed the vegetables, she sets the sandwiches in a plate and served Nate.
"I should learn from you but I just get mesmerized, all I could ever think of his getting it into my mouth" says Nate as he chewed on.
"I will teach you when you're ready but you can't beat mine " she teases Nate.
"I'll ask the staff to learn from you, mother doesn't make time to make these things at home, she is always busy with the office work" he says soberly
"Oh! Don't worry dear, I'll send some over to the house soon, I'll send them in as delivery" she says as they laughed out loud.
"I always dream of having kids" Nate says scoofing as he awaits her reaction.
"I know what you're doing" said Chloe chuckling
"It would be a great deal being a mother, we would look back at memories, and how we overcame our challenges, so Don't be discouraged" Nate says patting her back
"Listen Chloe, there's something important you must know right now"added Nate, as he breath heavily and uncomfortably.
"And why are you breathing in such manner, what do you want" says Chloe, confused.
"Ketchup please" says Nate in a teasing voice as Chloe realized it was one of his numerous trick and laughs uncontrollably.
"We are perfect for each other" they chorused holding hands
"Thanks for spending quality time with me, I had fun" says Chloe as she gives him a warn hug and he reciprocate by pecking her forehead, he gently watched her go into her house.
He walks to his Car rolling his car key as he turns back at every interval watching out for Chloe and ensuring she enters the house before he leaves. He keeps smiling all the way back home as his reunion with Chloe always brought back joyful memories.
Their actions shows how happy they are for the moments they are sharing, but the sadness in their eyes shows the unhappy state of their hearts, as their love stood to face the test of time, they could only wish for a positive future for their love story.
