Two Worlds Between us

Lua was sitting on her bed, staring at her phone without really paying attention to the screen. The memory of that day still haunted her — the tense atmosphere, Donald Trump’s severe expression, the way everything seemed to fall apart just when something special was about to happen between her and Barron. Sighing, she tried to push away the discomfort, but the tightness in her chest was still there.

The sound of her phone startled her. It was a message from Barron.

Barron: "Can you meet me today? I need to talk to you."

Her heart sped up. As nervous as she was after what happened that day, she knew she wanted to see him too. After a moment of hesitation, she replied:

Lua: "Sure, where?"

Barron: "I’ll pick you up in 30 minutes."

When she saw Barron, Lua took a deep breath, a mix of anxiety and anticipation swirling inside her. He was leaning against the car door, wearing that shy smile that always made her stomach flutter.

— Hey — he said softly, his eyes locked on hers.

— Hey — she replied with a small smile. — About that day…

— I know — he interrupted, shaking his head. — It didn’t go the way I wanted. And I’m really sorry about that. But… I don’t want that to define us.

Her heart raced at his words.

— I don’t either — she admitted, her voice quiet.

Barron took a step closer, his presence warm and reassuring.

— You already know that I like you — he said, his voice gentle but full of certainty. — And I don’t want to wait anymore or let anything get in the way. I want to be with you. I want to live my life with you. I want you… to be my girlfriend. Do you want that too?

The world seemed to stop for a second. Lua looked into his eyes, searching for any hint of doubt, but all she saw was sincerity. Her chest filled with emotion, and a slow smile spread across her lips.

— I want that — she said, barely believing the words coming out of her mouth.

Barron’s smile widened, and before she could say anything else, he gently cupped her face, brushing his lips against hers in a sweet kiss, full of everything they hadn’t been able to say that day.

When they pulled apart, his eyes sparkled.

— I have a surprise for you — he said, still holding her hand. — You’re always talking about that band you love… Guess who managed to get tickets for their concert next week?

Lua’s eyes widened in disbelief.

— You’re kidding?! — she exclaimed, already feeling the excitement surge through her.

— I’d never joke about something like this — he said with a laugh. — So… will you go with me?

— Of course I will! — she said, throwing her arms around him in a tight hug.

The night of the concert arrived faster than Lua had imagined. She was still getting used to the idea of being Barron’s girlfriend — and now, on top of that, she was about to see her favorite band with him. It felt like everything was falling into place almost too perfectly.

In the car on the way to the venue, Lua stared out the window, her heart pounding. Barron, driving, kept sneaking glances at her, a playful smile dancing on his lips.

— You’re very quiet — he said softly. — Nervous?

She laughed, turning to face him.

— A little. — She looked at him, her eyes shining.

Barron smiled, reaching over to take her hand.

A blush crept up Lua’s face, but before she could respond, they arrived at the arena. The lights, the energy of the crowd, the sound of the excited voices — everything made her heart race even faster. Barron intertwined his fingers with hers as they walked toward the entrance, and Lua felt safe by his side.

— I still can’t believe you got these tickets — she said, looking around in awe. — They sold out so fast!

— I have my connections — he teased, winking at her.

When the stadium lights went out and the first chords played, Lua squeezed Barron’s hand, her eyes wide with excitement. As the band took the stage, she screamed along with the crowd, feeling an almost indescribable happiness.

During the show, Barron barely took his eyes off her — more captivated by her joy than by the spectacle itself. At one point, while the band played one of her favorite songs, he pulled her closer, wrapping an arm around her waist.

— You look beautiful like this — he whispered softly in her ear.

Lua looked up at him, her face illuminated by the colorful stage lights. And then, in the middle of the music, in that perfect moment, they kissed — a light, sweet kiss, full of emotion. Around them, the crowd cheered, but for Lua, there was only the two of them.

When the final song ended and the applause echoed through the stadium, Lua rested her head on Barron’s shoulder, still trying to take it all in.

— This was the best day of my life — she said, her voice quiet but filled with happiness.

— I promise to give you many more days like this — he replied, pressing a gentle kiss to the top of her head.

And as they walked out hand in hand, with the music’s echo still in the air, Lua knew this was only the beginning of a story that promised to be even more special.
