I’d like to say I took it slowly, like you’re suppose to with new relationships, but after a couple of weeks with him, I couldn’t see a future without him in it. He became my everything pretty quickly, and there was only one way to make sure that future I imagined came true.

Wisteria: Come ‘ere…

It was my first kiss, I know that’s kind of lame, having a first kiss so late in my life. I had no idea if I was doing it right, but again, I don’t think Macaron minded. The smile on his face, and the way he couldn’t form words made me know I at least did a decent job.

Wisteria: Would you be mine?

He was speechless and just sort of nodded enthusiastically. But even without words. I knew. Macaron was my boyfriend, and I couldn’t be happier.

Wisteria: I think I am already into you Ronnie. You and Bubblegum have been there for me through this whole change. And I’ve always adored how ambitious you are. 

Macaron: Really? Then… I don’t really know what to say now ha…

He let out a nervous laugh, it was really great of him to come this far in telling me everything he felt. I knew I would have to make the finishing move to this night. And I was up for it, especially after sitting this close to him.

Macaron: Even if you don’t feel the same I hope we can always be friends.

He still had that cute smile, and his last words finally allowed me to make some sort of move. I moved closer, he was kind of shaking, I don’t know if he was just nervous, or maybe even excited. It could also be adrenaline. Whatever it was, I knew I had to say something before he went into shock or something.

The sun was setting fast, which made this whole thing… kinda better. I just wish I hadn’t come across like a complete dork, but I don’t think Macaron minded all that much.

Macaron: So well… I’m really into you Teri, there I said it.

He took a deep breath, and afterwards he couldn’t stop smiling, like he had been waiting so long to tell me this.

Macaron: I know it must be weird, you’ve been living with just your moms for so long… ha, I don’t know what I’m even saying, I just… what do you think? Do you think you could possibly…. be into me too?

I was so shocked, I was speechless for what felt like hours. Ronnie didn’t mind, he just sat their waiting, with that… cute smile on his face.

He seemed pretty nervous, like he’d rather be back home telling me whatever he needed to say. It didn’t make much sense to me. Unless of course he was embarrassed to tell me he failed or something. 

Macaron: Uh… I’m not exactly sure how to get this out.

He shifted a lot, and looked uncomfortable, I was starting to get worried.

Macaron: Why don’t we go sit over there… I think it would be easier if I was sitting down, haha.

After I told my parents everything, the brothers and I hung out a lot. They are really great guys, and I have no idea why my moms would be so hateful towards others outside our family. These two have become really great friends, and I enjoy spending time with them.

Everything became pretty routine after that. I painted a lot, I even started making money by selling them to a local gallery. It was getting really nice living here.

Unexpectedly Macaron asked me to take a walk with him through the park. I didn’t think much of it, I just thought maybe he wanted to tell me he finally passed the detective exam or whatever it was he was doing with that. That’s what I thought, but…

Wisteria: Hey mom.

[ Teri!? Oh my! Daisy come quick it’s Teri! ]

So I talked to them, it was a lot easier after Bubblegum said he’d stay while I did. He gave me the courage to say everything that needed to be said. At first it happened just like I thought it would. I told them where I was staying and they said they were coming to get me, but the more that I talked, the more they decided to let me stay. Momma Daisy was more understanding than momma lily, but she came around.

They really did understand, just like Bubblegum said they would. I didn’t think that was possible, they never wanted me to leave. I honestly thought I would be living with them all my life. I guess family can surprise you sometimes.
