Charli's POV

I groaned and felt my head was throbbing, it's been a long time I didn't drink so much wine. I tried to relax for a moment, yawned, and stretched my sore body.

Oh god! Summer still gives me the wild one after my break time yesterday.

Who would resist a sexy blonde like her? I swear I couldn't walk properly today after we had so much fun.

"Finally you awake, sleepyhead." I turned my attention to the blonde who was side leaning against the door and holding a glass of water. She walked toward me as I glance at her outlook and she looks different today.

Gosh, she was so smoking hot in an androgynous look.

I sat up and pulled the blanket to cover my chest part before leaned against the headboard.

She sat next to me, took the aspirin to feed me, and handed the glass of water to me. I have practically forgotten that I had a slight headache just now.

She could be my aspirin instead.

Summer took the glass away from me at the bedside table after I drank the warm water. She tenderly smiled at me and held both of my hands which were clutching the blanket. "Come on, you have to get ready. I'll take you to somewhere."

I grinned and asked excitedly, "Where?" but too soon my mood fell when I thought I had to take care of my coffee shop. Speaking of... I quickly asked, "Dammit! What time is it? I have to go back coffee shop."

I held the blanket and tried to leave the bed, but Summer already stopped me. She laughed lightly and assured me, "Autumn agreed to take care of your place for today and tomorrow. Don't worry about it, okay?"

I asked, "Why does she need to help for two days? You will be back to work tomorrow, right? What about Char-"

I was shut up by her kiss, and she pulled away, "You talked too much. I already arranged everything before you wake up," she pulled my hands cause my blanket slipped off and exposed my upper bare body.

I blushed when her eyes ran over my body with a smirk. She stood on her feet before helped me, and remained a hand to hold mine walked us to her closet.

When we reached the closet she walked behind me, slipped her arms around my waist, and rest her chin on my shoulder. "Okay, now pick anything you want to wear."

I hummed as I slowly trailed the clothes hang in her closet with my fingertips and stopped at a pink sweater, and fade jeans next to it. I turned to face her and asked, "What about these?"

She nodded her head on my shoulder and said softly, "Yes, you'll look gorgeous in these." She gently took my hand to pull the drawer and said, "I got a few pairs of new undergarments. You can pick any of them you like."

I laughed, "Seriously, Summer? I don't think the bras can fit me. Mine is smaller than yours."

I yelped when she slapped the cheek of my bum and squeeze it, "You're right, but your ass is bigger than mine." She whispered, "These are for you. I just bought them this morning and they definitely fit you well."

A heated rush to my face as she slapped my butt again and squeeze it lightly "Go get ready, honey."

I gently pried her arms away from me, turn to face her. I gradually pulled off her jacket and let it drop on the wooden floor. She raised one of her brows at me as I bit my lower lips started unbuttoned her button-up shirt.

I had no idea where was my gut came from.

She smirked at me in amusement and held my hips, watching me continue my show. I said in a very low tone after undone her shirt, "Join me," with that, I fully undressed her and we get a shower together.

"Open your eyes" I did as she told and she grinned "Perfect. Wait for a while and I'll put on mascara for you." she used a hand to fan my eyes for my eyeliner to dry.

I chuckled and teased "Never bored of helping me make up?"

She giggled "I like to do that to you." she took the mascara and carefully applied it on my lashes. "Done and don't close your eyes," she said sternly and I remain my eyes open without any facial movement.

She laughed "Relax, you still can talk, honey." I wanted to roll my eyes but I restrain it. "Okay done and you can flutter your eyes now." she jokes as I rolled my eyes.

She took the mirror and show my makeup face as I breathed out "Wow, you're great in it, Summer."

She shrugged casually, "Of course. Are we ready to go?"

"Absolutely."

********

"Are we playing romantic like the couple from The Notebook?" I giggled.

"Why not When Marnie Was There?" Summer disagreed.

"But, they're grandma and granddaughter relationship," I said.

"Can we just excluded that part?" Summer whined as I chuckled at her and she added, "Don't you think they're so romantic together?"

"Yes, but not after I know they are family," I reminded as she stuck her tongue at me.

"Get your ass over here." She said with a smile.

I shifted to sit in front of her and I covered my hands on hers atop the boat's handle to paddle it. She slowly slipped her hands away from mine and I turned to face her pursed my lips and complain, "I don't want to do this alone."

She didn't respond, she gently pecked my lips before rested her chin on my shoulder and wrapped her arms around my waist. She closed her eyes, inhaled softly, and said, "Please, I need to take a short break after my long ass sailing."

I chuckled as I shook my head and continued to paddle alone. I smiled and pay attention to the surroundings while my only distraction was taking her sweet rest.

The weather was just right, it was sunny yet chilly. This place was serene with the soothing breeze, rustling of the tree, the water streaming while I was paddling and my beloved blonde breathing softly next to me.

I felt the chilly breeze wrapped around me while Summer was already busy rummage something behind me. She was as hyper as usual, she never takes her break too long.

I saw a go-pro camera attached with the handle in front of us, Summer wrapped an arm around me and said, "Smile honey," I smiled as she captured a shot of us.

We had spent close to two hours of our lovely paddling. I was bushed after a long outing, but it was great as long as the person was my only Summer. Also, she was very sweet to me all the time since yesterday.

We were having dinner in the dining room with the view of the bright full moon, darkened sky, and lake. It was a very pleasant evening with a good view, lovely acoustic songs sang by Olivia Ong, and my favorite cheezy blonde who was busy feeding me the steak.

Nonetheless, I still loved her.

We would never be bored of the breathtaking night view and decided to rest on the couch to enjoy it after our dinner. I was gratified to spend time with Summer like that after we had separated for years.

I smiled when I felt Summer snuggled closer to the crook of my neck as I used a hand to gently caressed her cheek and said, "Thank you for arranging a beautiful date for us, Summer. I really love it."

I felt she giggled and vibrating the crook of my neck, she said happily to me, "I just want you to be happy and have fun, honey."

I pulled away from her a little and gently held her chin with my hand to tilt her to face me. She was smiling sweetly at me as I gently plant a soft kiss on her lips and said, "I will always be happy and have fun whenever you're with me, love."

She started grinning like an idiot as I pressed my lips on hers and linger longer before pulled away. "You're so cute,"

She giggled and corrected me, "No, I'm hot."

I gently pinched her face and teased her, "Yea, you're dangerously hot,"

She laughed and said, "Good. I'm flattering now."

I shook my head at her because she always loves to win. I pecked on her cheek and rest my head on hers as she snuggled closer to me.

When the acoustic song finished playing, Summer stood on her feet and stretched a hand to me. I chuckled and just put a hand on hers and she pulled me on my feet.

"What is it now?" I asked.

"Would you like to dance, gorgeous?" Summer asked as she held both of my hands gently.

"But, I'm a bad dancer," I said truly with a smile.

"It's okay, I'll just kick your ass if you step on my feet," she said with her poker face and I gasped.

"I'm kidding of course. You are the queen for tonight," she winked at me as I sighed in relief.

She took my hands placed them on her waist as she took her phone to select a song and the music started playing on the speaker.

"I found a love for me
Oh darling, just dive right in and follow my lead
Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet
Oh, I never knew you were the someone waiting for me"

This song was nostalgic to me because I remembered the month before Summer left me, she sang this song to me plenty of times. I chuckled to myself when I flashback that day. She was more like making fun with me instead of being romantic.

We followed the rhythm of the music to sway our body, to my luck I didn't step on her because of her great movement. I stared around the living room in awe when the dim lights flickered and I saw my favorite blue Babybreath were décor with the led lights.

Now I get why Summer keeps me in the room to sleep before nightfall. She was full of surprise.

We were holding each other comfortably, Summer was resting her head on my shoulder. I chuckled and said, "You know what, that night I was jealous about your prom partner."

"I know," she said with a chuckled.

I scoffed, "But, that night you never knew, you were fully engaged with your partner."

She laughed lightly and said, "I'm sorry I was an asshole back to that time."

She gradually pulled away from me, used a hand to cup my face, her green eyes were twinkling, and smiled at me, "I was such a fool and negligent a gorgeous right in front of me."

"I'm grateful, this gorgeous never give up on me. It's my honor to get a chance to enjoy our belated prom dance here."

"Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful
I don't deserve this, darling, you look perfect tonight."

The romantic lyrics along with Summer's romantic words lead my lips to capture hers as we started nibbling our lips with our hands tenderly caressed each other back. She pulled away and panted softly, "I'll be right back."

She quickly jogged and disappeared in the corner. I gasped in surprise when she returned with a bouquet of red roses. I asked, "When did you get this?"

"Surprise," she grinned as she handed the roses to me. I hugged the bouquet of roses to whiff the scent and said, "This is my first romantic gift in my life. Especially from someone dearest to me." I couldn't help but giggled in joy and stared at her beautiful face.

She said softly at me, "I'm so lucky I can be the first one to give this to you, honey."

My eyes widened as she pulled out a cream velvet box from her jeans pocket. She chuckled, "I'm sorry I might disappoint you. It's not a proposal."

I playfully rolled my eyes at her and she smiled, "But, this is something I wanted to give you so badly when I was ready for it."

She opened the velvet box, there had a pair of stainless steel rings. She said, "These rings I bought and be ready to confess my feeling to you after we had been together for three months."

"Unfortunately, that day was the day I had to leave you." My tears were forming in my eyes when I flashback that day.

Her green eyes were glistening as she looks like vulnerable to continue. She swallowed down and chuckled before she continued, "You never knew how much I was excited when I was ready to give this ring to you."

She gently caressed my face with a hand and said, "I'm so sorry because of my delay. Will you be my girlfriend?"

She didn't have to ask twice about it.

I shifted the bouquet in a hand for me to step closer to her and embraced her closely, "Of course! You're the only person I want to be with."

The girl I was madly in love with officially is my girlfriend after I had waited for her for years. It was like a dream, but it was real. All real. Summer Brightly was in my embrace.

She gently pulled me away as I smashed my lips on hers to feel again. It was real. I nibbled to feel her soft lips as I felt she chuckled in between our lips because of my eagerness.

"Can you let me put the ring on your pretty finger, girlfriend?" she teased as I felt butterflies erupted in my stomach when I heard the word of girlfriend.

Yes, we were a couple for real this time.

I laughed softly as I pulled away from her. She took my hand and gradually slipped the ring on my finger. She stared at me longingly and said, "I love you, Charli Newton."

"I love you too, Summer Brightly."

"I have faith in what I see
Now I know I have met an angel in person
And she looks perfect
I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonight."
