Fast Forward

Henry's POV

There has been a lot that happened ever since me and Charlotte got together. All of us made it into Harvard University. Jasper wants to become an attorney, Charlotte wants to be a lawyer, and I want to eat food. By the way, Charlotte and I couldn't be happier. Except, that we both are broke and barely see each other throughout the week.

We try to make sure that we have at least one date night a week. It's sad but we both have to pay. I try my hardest to be the best gentleman for Charlotte, but it's hard when you don't have the money for it. I'm surprised that she didn't dump me after high school. And I thank god she didn't.

I still live a double life as Kid Danger (But now its basically Young Adult Danger). Charlotte still works for Captain Man but she works over the computer or phone. She's devoted pretty much all of her time into this lawyer thing. I don't hate that she does at all. I think she would look sexy in a little lawyer suit. I'm just jealous that she's found something she's passionate about and loves doing. I'm passionate about her and saving the day with Captain Man. But I'm also a confused college student, unsure of what career I want.

Anyways, today is Charlotte and I's anniversary of us dating. It's been three years since we started dating and it's been forever since we've been friends. I can't forget the first time I met my little Char.

Flashback

It's was the first day of third grade and she didn't have any friends because she just moved into town. She had a yellow polka dotted dress on and had her curly hair all out and untamed. I thought it was cool because it reminded me of a lion's mane. I wanted to touch her hair really bad. So, I walked over and did just that.

"What are you doing?" she asks.

"Touching your mane," I say.

"My what!?!"

"Your mane. Your hair looks like a lion's mane," I exclaim.

"Is that supposed to be an insult or.."

"No! Not at all. I think it's really cool. Can I have it?"

"You want my hair?" she asks confused.

"Yeah!"

"No. I can't just give you my hair. It's going to hurt my head if you take it."

"Oh. Well, can we be friends so I can touch it everyday?" I ask.

"Sure, I guess. But under one condition," she proclaims.

"And what is that?"

"You have to give me your animals crackers during snack time. Deal?"

"Deal!" I say excited.

(Later during snack time)

"Come on Henry. You have to pay up," she demands.

"What? I thought the rule goes after today," I whine.

"It counted for today too Henry."

"Well can I give you something else?"

"Like what?"

"A kiss."

"I heard my parents talking about it. Does that hurt?"

"No. I don't think so. I saw it on T.V so it must be safe. Besides, I heard that only really cool friends do it," I say.

"Really?"

"Really."

"Okay. Give me a kiss," she says unsure.

I lean in and gently put my lips on hers. Her lips were really soft and plump. I kissed other girls from my neighborhood, but their lips weren't as soft and sweet as hers. After the kiss, I couldn't stop staring at her and it seemed like she couldn't stop staring at me either. After the long stares, she finally spoke.

"That was cool," she says.

"I know! You want to kiss again?" I ask excited.

"Yeah!"

We kiss again and it was better than the last. But there was this weird tingly feeling I got down my spine. I came to liking that feeling. I didn't know that was wrong. So I kissed her again without her permission. I got this warm sensation inside of me that felt amazing.

"Hey. I got a good idea!" Charlotte says.

"What?"

"Instead of giving me animal crackers, you can give me kisses!"

"Yeah!"

We kissed again one more time until the teacher noticed us. She said that kissing is bad to do at our age and that we have to wait until we're older and married to do that. She told us to never do it again. We obeyed.

(After school)

Charlotte and I were walking home and we were talking about today.

"I'm sad," I say hanging my head down.

"Why?" she asks.

"Because I'm not old and married."

"Why do you want to be old and married?"

"So I can kiss you again," I say.

"Well let's make another deal. We kiss right now and never kiss again like the teacher said. Then, you don't have to give me animal crackers for touching my hair anymore," she explains.

"That seems fair. Okay!"

We kissed for the last time that day. I didn't want ours lips to unlock. Her soft lips kept me longing for more. I knew this wouldn't last forever so I kept kissing her for a few more seconds. It caught her by surprise.

"Oh my goodness. That was longer than the others," she says surprised.

"I wanted it longer so I could remember until I'm old and married."

"Oh. I'll try to remember too," she says understanding.

We reach my house and we both go inside. I see my mom in the kitchen.

"Hey sweetie! Who's this little person you have here?" my mom asks.

"This is Charlotte. We did some cool stuff today that only old and married people do!"

Flashback End

Good times. Now, Charlotte and I have reservations to the fancy seafood restaurant "The Broken Clam" and I've been saving for this for about a month. I hope she likes it. I have a big surprise for her.

(At dinner)

"The food and scenery at this place is amazing. How could you afford it?" Charlotte asks.

"I've been saving for while for this. But I have to ask you something," I say.

"What is it Hen?"

"Char, will you move in with me?"

"Oh god. Yes. I thought you were..."

Two employees show up with a banner that says the question I'm about to ask her. I get down on one knee.

"Charlotte Reese Bolton, will you make me the luckiest man alive and marry me?"

I take the case out of my pocket and open it and put the ring up to her.

"Oh my god. YES! A thousands times YES!!!" Charlotte shouts.

I stand up and hug her, pick her up, and spin her around with tears in my eyes from joy. We're kissing each other a billion times while she's in my arms. I'm so happy she said yes. I finally put her down and realize everyone around us is clapping and congratulating us. I don't care. The only thing I care about right now is Charlotte.

"I know that it's not the best time to propose because of college and all but I don't care. I love you and that's all that matters," I say.

"I love you too. I don't care either. We can make it work. As long we have each other, we can do anything."

I now know that even though I don't know what I'm going to do with my life, I know what I want to be in life. A wonderful husband to Charlotte. So I can kiss her when we're old and married.
