"Open your door Santiago." Scarlet was staring daggers at me.
"But..." I fidgeted the hands on my crotch "Someone might see me..."
"NOW."
My body acted automatically to her commanding tone. I merely opened the door just a bit before Scarlet pushed me on to the bright and sunny sidewalk. As I stumbled to catch my balance Scarlet crawled out of the car behind me then shut the door. I stood up to look her in the eyes and she grabbed me by the hands.
"Tell me what you were going to say back then and we can get back in the car."
I could already tell what she was doing. Holding my dignity hostage until I spilled my guts. We were on a public street next to a park. Anyone could walk up to us at any second now and see me naked. In fact, I could already hear footsteps approaching from both sides of the street and from the park behind me. I only had seconds before someone came close enough to see me wearing nothing but signatures. I had no choice...
"Scarlet...I, I, I..." My heart was hammering, my face was red and sweaty, and...my God...Scarlet looked hot even when she was angry. "WILL YOU GO OUT WITH ME!?" I blurted loudly. "I really like you! I want you to be my girlfriend. OhmygodIamsoembarrassedrightnowIcan'tbelieveI'mdoingthis. Please say yes!" I jabbered out everything in desperation. Once I laid everything out in the open I felt like time slowed to a crawl. She only took a five seconds to respond, but each second felt like an eternity. Standing outside once again in the buff, I could hear the footsteps of potential witnesses getting louder.
"Yes."
I paused for a moment at her abruptness. "What?"
"Santiago, I have been crushing on you since high school. Getting to know you as I am now," she looked my body up and down with elevator eyes "has been one of the best experiences of my life! I'm pretty self aware you know. I know I can be a handful," her face gave the cutest little blush I have ever seen. Is that what I look like when I do that? Geez, no wonder she likes embarrassing me so much, that face is adorable! "but you still manage to stick by me despite all that. Honestly, even I can't figure out why you are still attached to me after all I have done to you. The fact that you let me behave so selfishly and still tell me truthfully that you like me puts me over the moon. Forget about me liking you back...I love you. So yes, I want to be your girlfriend, let's go out."
Every word that came out of her supple lips just then was like honey to my ears. My heart melted at her reciprocated feelings. I like Scarlet...and Scarlet liked me...hot damn! She loved me! That that came crashing into my mind like a tidal wave. I haven't felt this sort of happiness since winning the swimming championship, and just like then, I was so happy I wanted to shout, dance, and jump around. That was exactly what I did.
"Woooooooohoohoohooooooo!" I yelled pumping my fists in the air in jubilation. Whatever passerby's were in that area focused all their attention on me but I didn't see them. I was so ecstatic I was off in my own little world by now. Scarlet loved me so everything was perfect. I jumped up and down and did back-flips right into the grass that connected to the park. Scarlet was laughing and clapping in amusement and all I could think about was how I could keep her smiling. I did cartwheels, jumping jacks, and spun around in circles just to vent out all this joy.
Some random guy came up to me on the sidewalk looking down on his phone. He had black hair, glasses, and an orange coat. The moment I saw him, I scooped him up into a big hug.
"W-what the hell!?" he screamed.
