Mark and I got out of the manson and he drove his car to an empty space surrounded by trees. Nothing was here, just an open land.
" Mark, wow " I said looking at him both of us were sitting in the car
" u didn't even see it with out a glass barrier and it amazes u already " he said getting down of the car and then coming to my side to open it. To be honest I didn't like it when guys open doors for girls, but now I feel it kinda sweet.
" m'lady, if u please " he said extending his hand as I take it and get down.
" damn! This place is peaceful " I said as I check the surrounding out.
" wanna feel something better " he said looking at me
" u didn't expect me to say no " I replied with sarcasm
" chill lady just asking " he said as he opened the backseat door and almost lied down and when I saw what he got I was both confused and amazed. It was a big baby blue thick furry blanket. He look at me and winked holding the blanket with a lot of struggle and the next thing I know he's on the hood of the car and placed the blanket on the roof of the car like a bed sheet. He opened his shoes on the hood of the car and climbed on the roof
" what are u waiting for climb up " he said standing on the roof of the car as I looked at him like he belonged to some other universe.
" Are u crazy? " I asked with a raised eyebrow
" Anne have faith in me, u won't regret it " he said gesturing with his hands for me to climb up
" I don't wanna damage my dress it's one of my favorite " I said looking at him
" roll it up lady, that way it won't tear up " he said with a DUH tone.
" seriously? " I replied
" what! U don't have a problem wearing shorts publicly but with u rolling up ur gown. U ladies are un-understanable !" he said
" is that even a word 'un-understanable '?" I asked
" just bcz u didn't hear it before doesn't mean it isn't a word, now stop wasting time and hop up " he said
I huffed and pulled my gown up time my mid thing, I opened my heels and placed it on the hood of the car beside Mark's and hoped on the hood itself.
" not that difficult " I muttered to myself. Mark offered his hand bending down a little from the car's roof.
" why do u always offer ur hand? I am perfectly able to get on just by myself " I said as I took a big step and placed my left foot on the roof and hoped on it.
" see " I said leaving my dress as it slides down
" just being a gentleman " he said as he sat down. And that's when I felt the soft furry under my feel.
" God it feels so good " I said as I sat beside him.
" how did u find this place by the way? " I asked turning to look at him and found him lying down on the blanket
" it was my 19th birthday and let's just say things didn't go as planned, so I took the car key and the next thing I know my car was parked right here as I was lying down and staring at the stars " he said as he pulled my hand making me lie flat on the car's roof . I looked at him with a glare, he had a cheeky smile on his face as he held his hands on my eyes
" what are u doing? " I asked trying to remove his hands from my eyes
" shhh. Stay calm " and I did as he said, and slowly he removed his hands from my eyes
" now open ur eyes, but slowly " I felt his hot breath on my neck. Slowly I opened my eyes and that was the moment I felt this unknown calmness inside me. It felt so good to be here right now, look at the beautiful sky above me, seeing the stars that stared back at me and the half moon at a little left from my angle.
" it's beautiful " I whispered looking at the sky
" I know " Mark wishpered back doing the same. The sky looked so good, the stars and the moons, the cotton like clouds surrounding it, and slow, cool breeze touching our skin, the nature like smell hitting our nose, the fire flies flying above us, everything. It felt so heaven, a euphoria feeling crept upon me and sweet memories of my childhood made a flashback in my mind. Everything changed so much, and I didn't even notice it. I was no more the little girl with short boycut hair playing with my dad, the little things do not exist me anymore, I no more look at the fire flies and try to catch, I don't dream about growing up any more, I don't like the rainy day or the cloudy sky anymore, I am no more a child. I am a grown up, tired of everything with zero enthusiasm about new things. I don't know how or better yet when I changed so much, so much that I feel like I was never the girl from my childhood. Unknowingly tears slip out of my eyes, this moment was all that mattered to me right now. Kai Miller. This one name made such big impact in my life, and I didn't like it anymore. It was becoming to difficult for me to be around him. I always wanted him to notice me, but when he did, it was not bcz he wanted me, it was bcz he wanted my cousin, the same cousin whom I hated so much. A light sob escaped my lips and I felt Mark turning towards me and I hurriedly wiped my tears
" hey, Anne, it's ok, cry it all out, no one is gonna see, let it out, don't bottle it up inside u. It's not healthy " and that was what I exactly did. I turned towards him and hugged him so that like my life depends on my hold on him, but he never complained infact he pulled me closer to him. Light sobbs filled the silence and we remained there like that, with me shaking a little for the sobs and him soothingly caressing my hair.
