He Was Always There

Chapter 7: The date

Once we got there I had to be blinded. We stopped at a forest, that's all I know. He had one hand on my hip and the other covered my face. We finally stopped.

"Now, don't open your eyes not yet."

"Okay just tell me when." It took a couple second until I heard him.

"Now." I opened my eyes to see a tiny river, trees all around a bridge leading to the other side of the river. Then I looked down to see several candles, a blanket, and the basket. I gasped and let out a small giggle.

"It's incredible." He took my hand and led me down to the blanket. He pulled out the plates of food and I was in awe.

"Did you make these?" I looked at him and he had a big smile on his face.

"I did, with the help of my dad. He likes to cook." I nodded. He handed me a plate and utensils. We ate in comfortable silence. The food was amazing. I wasn't worried at how bad I looked because I just wanted my food. I heard him laugh and I looked up.

"Like your food?"

"Yeah." He looked at me blankly for a second before he laughed again.

"I can tell." I looked at the food to see it was almost gone and his was still half. I laughed.

"I like my food can you blame me?"

"No, I actually think it's rather adorable." I looked at him and he stared at me. He leaned in closer and I backed away. He grabbed a napkin and handed it to me.

"Thanks." I wiped off my face and finished my plate. I stood up and went into my purse and say I had my camera. I smiled slightly. I loved taking photos and we were at the perfect spot. I walked to the bridge. I pulled out the camera and took a picture of the crack with a group of flowers sprouting from it. I went off the bridge to the side of the river and I took off my sandals and purse and walked into the river. I turned the camera some to get an angle of the rock that split the water and the woods in the back with fire fly's.

"What are you doing?"

"Oh, I'm taking pictures." I stood up and showed him the camera. I got out of the water and put my camera back into the purse.

"Maybe you could show me one day." I giggled as I took off my jean jacket.

"Maybe." I sat down enjoying the soft grass. I laid all the way back and closed my eyes. I felt his presence get close to me. I felt sparks as I felt his hand graze my face. I opened my eyes he laid down next to me on his side facing me.

"What are you doing to me Tia?"

"I don't know." He leaned in and I rolled away. I stood up and grabbed my stuff. "Tonight has been amazing but I think it's time for me to go home." I walked towards where I thought the motorcycle was.

"Tia wait. I'm sorry." He ran and grabbed my arm sending shivers through my body.

"Zander I'm not easy, please let's just leave this alone." I turned away but he grabbed my other arm and turned me back. I looked down.

"Look at me please." I looked up at him. "I know your not easy and I can't leave this alone, this is the best feeling I've ever had. Meet me at the broken docks. Tomorrow after school. I will be waiting." He then lead me back to the bike and he drove me back home. My father was there at the door angered.

'I'm so not meeting him at the docks.'
