The Love Park (Part 2)

Chapter 17

"So, how many boyfriends do you have?" I wanted to make this ride a little fun.

"Hey! I am not like you, ok! I don't have any boyfriends. My girls are enough for me. She said giving me a little blow on my arm.

I chuckled softly. While, at the inner side, I was really satisfied.

"So you did change. I thought I would meet the same old Cassie who I had to tame every time."

She let out a deep sigh.

"Yes, I really have changed a lot. I am not the same Cassie who used to take everything in fun. I now see life , John. And it's difficult. It really is hard and cruel."

"But it's beautiful too, Cassie. It's beautiful when you get what you desire. It's beautiful when you see someone smiling and knowing that you are the only reason behind it. It's beautiful to see people you love, loving you back. It's beautiful to have emotions. Isn't it?" I told her.

"Yes, it is. But I am not certain about anything in life. You know, most of the time things don't go the way we plan them, it disappoints me. And about emotions, I really don't know how to think of them."

"Well, you don't need to think of them. You need to feel them.If your emotions are a house, your foundation is love. You were born with perfect love in your soul and it will keep you strong. If you feel your house is out of order in any way, fix the foundations and the rest will correct itself." I assured her not knowing myself what exactly I was assuring her of, but it was a good conversation to keep going. It was just so nice, even to talk to her about little things.

Cassie's P.O.V

We reached the Park. It was always too crowded with families. But it was very beautiful.I used to love playing on the swings with John. There were many great memories associated with this place. John brought tickets and we played some games. It was so much fun to have a day of childhood back, even if it was for one day only. We played, and laughed like small children who are oblivious of this world, sunk into our own happiness. It was always a warm feeling with him.

The time flew. Almost three hours had passed, and now we both were tired and starving. John took me to a café. I noticed many changes were made in that part of the park. It was more developed now, and so even more crowded. But John took me to a table that had really quiet surroundings. It was loving and warm. We sat on the table and ordered. Meanwhile, it seemed that only we two were alone there.

I was looking here and there, while waiting for the food when I saw a small dance stage made for couples. Slow songs were being played. I really liked the café. My eyes fell on John again. He was staring at me. He won't take his eyes off me, and my heart started beating faster again. I tumbled my gaze down to avoid the tinkling sensation that was blooming in my heart. I could feel my body temperature rising, though the evening was cool. I bet he noticed it too.
