Chapter 16

Okay, so this wasn't my first idea, but it sure was a good one. Spending time with Wyatt was an absolute blast. This was the first time we actually did anything besides eating ice cream together. His personality was really shining through and it almost made me regret not spending time with him sooner. One things for sure, this made me stop worrying about Carson so much. I was finally focusing on myself and it felt really good.

Wyatt and I have been all over this evening. Right now, we were zip lining. I've been plenty of times, but Wyatt, on the other hand, was scared shitless. I had no idea he was afraid of heights until I brought it up. The look on his face when he got up here was priceless. All I wanted to do was hug him and tell him it'll be fine. It didn't seem like he was going to take to that so easily.

"Savannah, please don't make me do this." He begged me not taking his eyes from looking down at the ground. It was cute when he was scared, but it was annoying that we had to keep letting people cut in front of us.

I laughed and stepped in front of him, turning his face towards me. "I promise you'll be okay. Just don't look down." I reminded him.

"Yeah because that always fucking helps." He snapped at me still frantic.

"Wyatt, you're doing this." I didn't give him no for an answer. He was going to love it afterwards.

Finally being able to get all the equipment we needed on, I made him go first since he was the one that was scared. It took him sometime before he let the guy push him down and boy did he scream. I couldn't help but laugh at him screaming like a maniac. All while enjoying my ride across to meet him on the other side.

Once we got across, he looked like his heart was racing, but he was smiling so big. He conquered his fears and enjoyed it like I knew he would. That was the point of zip lining though. It's the rush of doing it that makes you just want to do it again. Now that he accomplished this, there was nothing he should be afraid of now. That's what I was here for.

He hugged me and smiled brightly. "That was the most fun I've had in a long time." He said still feeling the thrill.

I laughed and took his hand as we walked out. "See, nothing to worry about."

"I mean, I almost shit myself, but it was still fun." He admitted shrugging his shoulders.

My mouth dropped. "Wyatt!" I screamed, but laughed because that was hilarious.

He threw his hands up like he was surrendering. "What? Just being honest." He chuckled.

Rolling my eyes, I laughed along with him and we headed out to our next destination. It wasn't anywhere near as fun, but we wanted to catch a movie anyway. Which, in my opinion was pretty boring. It also made me tired and I almost fell asleep twice just looking at the screen. By the looks of it, Wyatt almost did too and of course I didn't blame him.

We got into his mustang and just sat there for a minute. Personally, I was trying to regain my composure from that boring ass movie. I don't know who told us to even go watch that. It was the worse thing I've witnessed. On top of that, I ran out of popcorn and my drink. That's probably why I was falling asleep too. Who watches a movie without popcorn? Especially when you're at the movie theater. That's just insane.

Wyatt looked over at me as I looked back at him. "That was complete garbage." He said with no hesitation in his voice.

"Well, at least we agree." I said fist bumping him.

He started the car and we were off to the park now. Just to do a little walking around before I headed home. This night has been the best so far and I was happy that we got to spend time together. The fact that it took me cutting Carson out of my life was a bit of a stretch, but it happened and I was happy. Wyatt was happy as well and it was great to see him finally feel like he was getting a chance. This should've happened a long time ago. Everything was perfect. For now anyway.

The stars were out and the moon was shining bright. I haven't walked out in the park in a long time. This would be something I would do with Carson, but of course I couldn't. It pained me that I was even thinking about him when I was the one that stopped talking to him. It wasn't out of the ordinary for me to do this. Carson was everything to me. He was back home and nothing was working out for us. Still, I don't know if I did the right thing.

"What are you thinking about over there, missy?" Wyatt snapped me out of my trance and I looked at him with a smile on my face.

"Nothing, I'm happy we got to spend a whole day together." I admitted, leaving out the Carson part.

We came to a stop and he smiled at me. "So am I. I never expected this to happen." He got nervous again. "This was all I wanted for a long time, ya know."

I smiled. "Oh really now? I was always available."

He scoffed. "You definitely just lied to my face, but it's okay. I've got my chance now."

Laughing, I caught myself looking into his beautiful blue eyes and getting lost in the moment. My stomach started to turn in knots and my heart was racing like it never raced before. His hand found itself tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear and moving down to my waist. Pulling me closer to him, I couldn't help but gulp. It wasn't like we haven't kissed before, but this time was different. There was something about this moment that meant a little bit more to me than it did the first time. Maybe this time it was clear how I felt about him. I liked him a lot and the fact that he was willing to give me a second chance meant the world to me.

Wrapping my arms around his neck, I was the one to initiate the kiss this time. I let him take the lead though as we got lost in each others lips. It was so passionate and warm. He literally sucked me right in with this one. There was nothing more that I wanted in this moment than to be here kissing him. The guy knew what he was doing and it was driving me crazy. Slowly, he was becoming everything I've ever wanted.

We broke the kiss and our foreheads touched one another. Our breathing was light and we just stayed like that for a minute. There was no denying that we had a very strong connection with each other. Instead of being focused so much on Carson, I should have paid more attention to Wyatt. Now that I am, I wasn't regretting it. Ever since the first time he kissed me, I wanted nothing more than to do it again. This time it was even better and a lot more emotion on both ends. I think Wyatt just won me over the slick bastard.

He smirked and hugged me tightly. "I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself." He whispered into my ear sending chills down my spine.

"Hey! I started it. You just so happened to finish it." I said confidently. He wasn't about to take credit for what I started.

"Ah, Savannah, always has something to say."

"You damn right I do." I laughed and hugged him.

He laughed too and took my hand. "Of course, beautiful." He kissed my forehead and left me flustered.

My cheeks were hot, but I wasn't going to let him see that. "One day, Wyatt, I'm just gonna kick you in your pretty face."

"Ha! I'll like to see you try."

I rolled my eyes and we decided to end our night here. It was great for what it was worth. Wyatt and I really made a connection with each other and I couldn't have been any happier. No Maisie getting in the way and no Carson making me sad. This was what I wanted all along. Now, if things were able to stay this way it would have been great, but of course my life doesn't like keeping things simple.
