I reached home quickly and saw Margret in her mini garden taking a stroll in it.

I coughed to gain her attention.

'Hi, Margret, how was your day?' I hugged her.

'It was lovely and where did you go hopping like a chicken since morning? Matt's grandfather saw both of you running around the place.'

'We were building our stamina to run like Usain Bolt for some works to be done.' Horrible lie. 'But now, I need you to dress your best because tonight is the night.' Her smile reached her eyes and she gave a teenager kind squeal.

Her heart is still a baby.

She wore a purple neck collared dress with puffy sleeves that had intricate flower's design on it. I did her hair and made a loose bun and left a few strands in the front. She wore a yellow gold delicate butterfly pendant and covered her look with peach lip balm.

'After such a long time, I am getting dressed.' She seemed nervous. 'I can't look at myself in the mirror.'

'Just have a look and fall in love with yourself again.' I felt like a proud mama.

She looked and took a huge breath. She definitely looked like she owned the night.

I told her to give me 20 minutes to make myself look presentable enough. I took the shortest bath of all time and hurriedly wore jeans and a black tank top and covered it with a knee-length embroidered multicolour shrug. In less than a minute, I wore lipstick and combed my hair.

I went down and saw Margret nervously pacing. She suddenly looked like a teenager who was nervously excited for her first date. I took her hand and directed towards Love Lake. When we reached the point where the fairy lights were illuminating the whole area and the red carpet was under our feet, she nervously tightened her grip on my arm.

Arthur was in his smoking hot black tuxedo and he was talking to Matt when suddenly he turned around and looked in our direction and tried to utter some words but only one came out.

'Beautiful.'

I giggled and let go of Margret's hand since someone was eager to hold it.

Someone was always eager.

'Grandpa and my beautiful Margret...' Matt came to me and politely looked at them. 'Scarlett and I planned this special evening for you guys because we owe it to you and moreover just embrace each other in your love.'

'I know right but this stupid old man always keeps on ignoring me.' She pouted.

'I think that from now on, it will be difficult for him to ignore you since he can't even take his eyes off you.' 

I was so delighted that even a word would need a word to describe what I was feeling.

'No, no, I was just observing how much makeup she has worn.' 

And again they started their sweet bickering.

Matt and I very silently left them to lead the night in their own way.

'You have lipstick on your chin.' Matt said casually while looking at me.

We both were wandering aimlessly.

'Whatttttt?' I tried to erase it in the most elegant way possible.

'And now you have smudged it properly.' He chuckled.

'Well, smudged lipstick look is new in town.' I said it confidently.

Just die, Scarlett.

'So, how is your experience of our farmland of Oatsjunk? Did you like it?'

'Well my plan was to go to the main city but somehow I ended up being here.' I was picking up small sticks on our way. 'But, I loved it what we did today.' I genuinely did. 

'We always try so hard to stick to our plans but somehow we end up doing what was never planned. That brings more beauty to our life adding in nurturing our curiosity of unknown.'

I stopped walking and looked at him. 'Hail Matt guru. Words of wisdom are flowing.'

He chuckled. 'So, what's your next stop?'

'Tomorrow, I am going to Tight Screw Ville, will stay there for two-three days.'

'Woohh, you are going there? That's amazing but that place is more like a technological hub.'

'I know but I didn't want to miss that place and moreover I want to cover as many areas in one month as possible.'

We both came to a park and sat on the swings across each other and I was just simply observing him when my stomach made a low growl and he noticed.

'Heehee.' I faked a laugh. 'But I think we should have dinner.' I pressed hard on my stomach and hopped off the swing and straight away landed right on grass because of imbalance.

'Are you all right?' Matt came quickly for my aid but he was trying so hard not to laugh.

'Wipe off this smile right now.' I tried to command my voice like a brigadier but it ended up me stomping foot on the ground.

'That was one epic fall.'

'Uffff, keep laughing then.'

We both started laughing in the end. We went to the same restaurant that we went for our lunch and this time he insisted to treat me.

'You are embarrassing me. I helped Margret and Arthur because their love life is adorable, unlike mine which is all droughts.'

'You helped us though you were not obligated.' He raised his hand to stop my mumbling mess. 'But, I want to treat you, accept it as our gift from this land.'

I grinned widely and then we both dived right into our dinner eating to our heart's content.

'So, what they must be doing right now?' I was imagining all the scenarios.

'Either they will be ripping each other head's off or finally, they will embrace each other like they should have done five years ago. They just need privacy.' He winked.

'We made their work easier then.' My stomach was fully bloated by this time.

'Yup and I think we should go now and check on them. What say? I hope one is alive till now.'

'You mean invasion in their privacy?' I fake gasped.

He innocently nodded.

'I like that.' I wish I could have black glasses and a black coat to make up a detective look.

We hurriedly went to Love Lake but after reaching there we tiptoed, secretly hiding in bushes and kept whispering to each other to not utter a single word.

The sight in front of us took our breath away. Moon descended on lake and was playing with rippling water among the swans. Margret and Arthur were in their own world of slow dancing. The scene was perfect with the beautiful melody of Perfect by Ed Sheeran playing in the background. Margret had her hands on Arthur's chest and both were lost in each other's eyes.

They were about to kiss each other when I did a light squeal and made Matt turned back and I so desperately wanted to witness the history but he also made me turned back and plus covered my eyes as well.

'I hope they sealed the deal.' I was elated at this moment but decided to walk away.

'They already sealed the deal in their hearts; it just took time for the words to come out of their lips.' Matt said from a distance.

'You are right, words do matter.'

'Indeed.'

The night was at the closing end and I felt this urge within me to do this with Matt. I definitely knew he could pull this off after assuring me that it will be a piece of cake for him.

Let's do it.

I sprinted in the direction of Matt and shouted, 'Matt, catch me in your arms.'

The poor soul was not even prepared for the attack and we both landed straight on the ground.

'Ouch!! crazy, crazy Scarlett. You never stop giving me surprises and how much did you eat?' Matt was whining and laughing at the same time.

'You said you will handle it now see, you made me stumble upon you instead of catching me.'

He didn't say anything because I noticed our awkward position. Our legs were tangled. Our lips were just inches apart. We were hooked into each other's eyes.

I leaned closer with a snail's speed.

He must have noticed something because he parted his lips.

'Scarlett.' He slowly whispered.

'Hmm.' I slowly acknowledged.

'I am gay. I have a boyfriend.'

Deadpan silence.

Pin drop silence.

Hats off to you Scarlett. Always put yourself into the most embarrassing situation.

He blinked once, twice, thrice and he was about to say something when I gave him my bear hug.

'Awww Matt, I am so happy for you.' I stood up and gave him my hand. 'Sorry, for making it awkward for you.' My cheeks were blazing hot.

'Naah, I am fine but I can understand.' He looked at me. 'I am so irresistible, right?' He smirked.

'Please don't make me punch you.' And it was my time to smirk.

He came closer, took both of my hands in his and looked straight in my eyes. 'I know, sometimes our hearts fell in love even without our knowing. One little touch ignites something within us but Scarlett, your heart will find the one, have patience.' I pouted. 'When it will happen, it will happen.'

'It's not like I am dying to kiss someone.'

'Yeah, sure sure. Why not!' He chuckled.

'Uff!' I tried so hard to be strong but failed. 'It's just I don't want to die before kissing someone.' That was my genuine worry.

He smiled, 'believe me you won't. It takes time to conquer someone's heart.' He paused. 'Till that time, don't go on a kissing spree.'
