Six Weeks Later
“Mitch, just tell me where we’re going,” I pouted from the passenger seat of his truck.
“Now that would take all the fun out of it, wouldn’t it?”
“No! Please?”
“Nope.”
“Pretty please?”
“It’s still a no.”
“What’s your price?”
“I don’t have one.”
“Everything has a price, Mitch. Everything.”
“Hmm….how about a kiss?”
“For telling me where we’re going? A kiss? That’s it?”
“No, but I’d like a kiss anyways,” he grinned. I nodded and smiled and leaned in, and when there was just a few millimeters separating us I stopped and whispered in his ear, my lips lightly touching his skin whenever I moved.
“Too bad, so sad, handsome. You have to tell me where we’re going.” I leaned back and saw that the hand clutching the steering wheel had tightened. I laughed.
“You’re such a tease,” he muttered and frowned under his breath. I smiled and grabbed the hand that was on the center console. Intertwining our fingers, he pulled our joined hands up to his mouth and kissed mine. I smiled and relaxed a bit. The silence after that wasn’t awkward, it was just silent. I watched as nothing but darkness went by. Night time sucked for trying to figure out where you were.
“Will you tell me now?” I said after a few minutes. The suspense was killing me.
“Nope.”
“Fine.” It was silent for another minute.
“What about now?”
“Anna! Stop it, we’re almost there anyways.” I sighed and Mitch laughed. “Okay, do you trust me?”
“That’s a really dumb question considering I’ve been living with you and your mom for the past six weeks.”
“Anna…”
“Yes, Mitch, I trust you.”
“Okay, close your eyes.”
“Fine, but I hate surprises. You know that.”
“Yeah, whatever just close them.” I did and waited for him. I felt the truck stop and kept my eyes closed shut as Mitch got out of the truck. I really was hoping he wouldn’t ditch me in there…
