She was gentle, kind and caring. All the traits one would wish for themselves. And here she was. Even if she wasn't beautiful on the outside, Cris knew he wouldn't have cared. She was special to him and nothing would ever change that.
Her softly whispered, me too, tugged at his heartstrings. The way she looked at him made his heart skip...like it was dancing for joy. He wanted to reach out and cup her face in the palm of his hand but instead reached out and threaded his fingers with hers. He smiled gently at her as his thumb softly stroked the top of her fingers.
They were talking about birthdays, so Cris tried to concentrate on what Jasmine was saying, even though his eyes kept darting to her lips instead. Not wanting to be caught staring, he mentally shook himself and refocussed on the conversation.
"Ice skate? I didn't know you skated? I speed skate competitively. Maybe one of these days, we could skate together. I for one, would like to try some miniature golf. I haven't played that since I was this high," Cris raised his free hand about three feet off the ground.
He laughed when she described the cake she loved. "Yellow cake and lots of icing huh...the better to smear your face with kind of icing?" he teased her before continuing.
"Yes seriously, we had food fights back home. Of course we were made to clean up after we were done, but those were the best birthday parties ever. I myself love Chocolate layered cake with fresh banana inside. Yes I know it sounds weird, but actually it takes really good, especially the ones my mother baked," he explained.
Just the memory of when he last ate such a cake, made him smile fondly. He made a mental note to himself to OWL his mother to make and send one to him.
"Favorite food? I love chicken salad, spaghetti and meat sauce, shepherd's pie and Rocky Road ice cream. What about you? What's your favorite?" he asked in return. Cris liked the way they were revealing stuff about themselves to each other. This was way cooler than having to dig it out from the other person. And for some reason, he didn't feel uncomfortable telling her. He trusted her.
Honestly, Jasmine could not imagine feeling any happier than she did at that moment. Being outside on a beautiful day with Cris, what could be better? When he took her hand and began to stroke her fingers she thought that she might start to hyperventilate. She couldn't take her eyes off of his face, his beautiful eyes. Jasmine didn't want the moment to end. So many thoughts and feelings were going through her head and her heart right then. Could Cris have any idea what he was doing to her? Could he possibly be feeling anything close to what she was feeling?
Then wait, what was he asking her? Oh ice skating.
"Yes I skate, but I'm not all that good at it. I'm just at the birthday party level. You know, nothing fancy." Jasmine hadn't known that Cris skated competitively, but she could definitely believe it.
"I knew that you skated , but not competitively. My, you are a man of many talents. You know, I wonder if the Room of Requirement could turn into a miniature golf course for us. I'll have to give that a try one day."
So Cris loved chocolate cake with bananas. Jasmine would definitely have to remember that. She was sure that would come in handy one day......soon. She listened carefully, as Cris revealed his favorite foods.
"I can agree with you on all of those. They are all delicious. I would have to say my favorites are lasagna, gumbo and birthday cake, oh and bread pudding. Sharing was nice. It was good to learn more about each other, no?
