[https://sh.itjust.works/post/42287270] > It’s a spring day. Everything is green
out, and outside is warm with just enough breeze. All in all, a perfect May day.
> > One thing in particular, though, makes May an even more perfect day. Today,
May 12, 2026, marks the ten-month anniversary of my relationship with my
girlfriend Luna Maxwell-Flores. > > And today, I’m walking with my special
woman, hand-in-hand with her. I thought I loved everything about her when she
was a freshman, I a sophomore, but that love only grew stronger once I got to
know her. I love the way the sunlight reflects off her black hair, the way her
blue streak is situated perfectly on her bangs, the way her round glasses seem
to perfectly frame her chocolate eyes, her entire face. The way her hand fits
with mine like a puzzle piece. > > I stare at her, trying to fit her entire
image in my mind, all the way down to her black tank top, her light, comfortable
black shorts, and the white Nikes she’s been wearing since I saw her again when
she walked into Java Delight, the café I work at. > > We walk uphill, stopping
to sit down at a cedar bench, our fingers still intertwined. > > Luna rests her
head on my shoulder, moving her free hand to my knee. “Isn’t the view
wonderful?” > > I look over the hill and nod. Green all around me. People
walking and talking, having fun. People are at peace here. > > “You’re my
favorite person, Jaiden,” says Luna. > > And I can’t help but smile. “You are,
too, Luna.” > > Over the hill, a blurry figure with curly black hair, dark skin,
a black leather jacket, and jean shorts approaches. > > “Looks like someone else
wants to join us,” Luna comments. > > As he gets closer, I notice his face is…
familiar. But who is it? Oh… that’s right! Cameron. > > Cameron, now twenty, was
a guy I dated, and later broke up with last year. Before Luna came around. > >
“Is this…?” she mouths. I nod. > > “Cameron,” I say. > > “Jaiden! I wanted to
speak to you, if you don’t mind.” > > Silence for a bit. > > “Go ahead.” I stand
up. > > “Look.” He sighs. “I was wrong. Wrong… about a lot of things.” > > “Damn
right you were!” Luna chimes in. “You hurt Jaiden. You said you didn’t want
her.” > > Cameron chuckles. “Oh, that’s so like Jaiden to tell you that. I was
nineteen. A teenager. As a twenty year old, I can tell you that I was an
insecure teenager, not in the right headspace.” > > “I’m sure you haven’t
changed since last year.” She crosses her arms. > > Cameron ignores her. “If we
can get past this without your little friend chiming in, then maybe we can get
down to business. I’ve been thinking about you, Jaiden, a lot. Especially those
beautiful blue eyes I used to look at so frequently, your kissable pink lips and
your rosy cheeks.” > > I felt a bit nauseous. “Yeah, we haven’t seen each other
in over a year and we’re not even dating. Please don’t talk like that.” > >
“But… we will be dating. Hopefully.” He smiles sheepishly in a way that almost
makes me feel sorry for the guy. > > “Yeah, no.” Luna steps in again, grabbing
my hand. “She’s mine.” > > I find my voice and nod. “That’s right, Cameron. We
will not be getting to know each other again, not like that. I’m taken.” > >
Cameron shakes his head. “Wha…her…noooo. I didn’t think it was like you to like
girls.” > > “What does that even mean?” Luna whispers to me. I shrug. > > He
starts laughing. At first, just a soft chuckle. Then, it gets louder. “Of
course. Jaiden has another partner now.” > > “One that loves her,” says Luna. >
> “One that wants me,” I reply. > > The laughter subsides and he walks off. Luna
and I are left to hold hands and enjoy the weather while the flowers and our
love blossom.
