Chapter 25
*Time skip* February 14 - Wanda's POV
Today was Valentine day and today I planned to take Nat on a date.
I woke up on top of her admiring the warm and peaceful presence she has. There I notice almost all the little things she does. The way she scrunches her nose when she laughs, the way her eyes shine when she talks about something she likes, the way her raspy voice just compliments everything about her, god I'm falling in love with her all over again.
"Malysh, I can feel you staring." She rasped, her eyes still closed.
"I was admiring you, now go back to sleep." I whispered.
"I want to but I don't want to miss seeing your face." She said opening her eyes revealing the dark emerald green she has been hiding.
"Malysh, you're staring again." She said bringing me back to reality.
"Sorry, I just got lost on how beautiful your eyes look." I said hiding a blush.
"Do you have plans for today?" She asked.
"Yeah, I do actually."
"Is it a surprise?"
"Nope." I said popping the "p".
"Well where are you planning to go?"
"I was thinking how about Brighton Beach."
"It's like an hour drive there."
"Well we better start packing then." I said removing myself on top of her.
"Nooo, I still want to cuddle." She said extending both of her hands.
"Fine." I chuckled as I went back into her arms, wrapping me around her as I was engulfed by her vanilla and strawberry scent.
"Did you know Pietro managed to find himself a date?" I spoke up.
"Did he now?" She chuckled.
"Yeah, he said his name was Clint."
"I know a Clint, he was my best friend before I moved here."
"How is he now?"
"Last I heard he broke up with his girlfriend. Wait did Pietro mention his last name?" She perked up.
"He mentioned it was like Barton I guess."
"Did you just say Barton? No way he's dating my best friend." She laughed.
"Wait Really?"
"Yeah." She laughed.
"Shall we pack now?" I asked slowly removing her arms around me.
"Yeah, let's go." She said as walks toward her clostet.
We wore our bathing suits under our shirt and only packed a few spare clothes. I decided to bring my guitar since I thought it would be a great valentine's gift, I just hope she would likes it.
After finishing packing we locked and left the house knowing that Pietro was given a spare key the last time he stayed over.
Nat's parents were fine on letting me and Pietro stay that they even gave us spare keys, yesterday they went back to Russia and will be staying there for few months to help with their company leaving us here to accompany the house.
------------
We arrived at the beach, and only a few people were here since they rather have dates in a mall than here, but I wasn't complaining since I get to spend the whole afternoon here with Nat.
"Wanna change and swim for a bit?" She asked.
"Yeah, why don't you go first while I set up our spot."
"Sure, you're the best."She said pecking my lips.
"I tried to be."I smiled.
"I'll just grab us a few drinks and meet up with you there."
"Sure thing."
She left me here near the parking lot, I grabbed our things including my guitar strapped behind me and the cooler. I managed to carry them to a close spot near the ocean. I put a small red checker blanket and a beach umbrella eough to shield both of us from the sunlight.
When I finished setting up our spot, I decided to play a few chords on my guitar, once I was entraced by what I was playing that I didn't notice Nat suddenly appearing beside me.
"That was beautiful, remind me again why don't you ever play for me?" She said placing two glasses down.
"You never ask." I laughed.
"Well can you?" She smiled.
"Yeah I had something in mind." I said starting to place the capo on the 3rd fret and played certain chords.
Once the intro was done, I took a deep breath and began to sing.
"I met you in the dark, you lit me up
You made me feel as though I was enough
We danced the night away, we drank too much
I held your hair back when
You were throwing up
Then you smiled over your shoulder
For a minute, I was stone-cold sober
I pulled you closer to my chest
And you asked me to stay over
I said, I already told ya
I think that you should get some rest
I knew I loved you then
But you'd never know
'Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go
I know I needed you
But I never showed
But I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go
I'll wake you up with some breakfast in bed
I'll bring you coffee with a kiss on your head
And I'll take the kids to school
Wave them goodbye
And I'll thank my lucky stars for that night
When you looked over your shoulder
For a minute, I forget that I'm older
I wanna dance with you right now
Oh, and you look as beautiful as ever
And I swear that everyday you'll get better
You make me feel this way somehow
I'm so in love with you
And I hope you know
Darling, your love is more than worth its weight in gold
We've come so far, my dear
Look how we've grown
And I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go
I wanna live with you
Even when we're ghosts
'Cause you were always there for me when I needed you most
I'm gonna love you 'til
My lungs give out
I promise 'til death we part like in our vows
So I wrote this song for you, now everybody knows
That it's just you and me 'til we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go
Oh, just say you won't let go"
She looked at me, her eyes shining from the sun's light glaring at us, she smiled and pulled me in for a kiss not letting me go not one bit.
"I will never let you go darling." She smiled, cupping both of my cheeks and pressed our foreheads together.
That's what I love about her, the way she just holds me and I already feel like nothings gonna hurt me.
"Happy Valentines day moje láska." I smiled.
"Happy Valentines day moya lyubov, now how about we take a small dive." She smirked.
