~True & Strong~
As he pulled me towards wherever we were going he stopped. "Aren't you going to ask where we are going?" he asked. "Nah, I'm sure I'll find out" I replied. He shrugged then put his hands over my eyes. So far I remember us walking off school campus, but other than that, I had no clue where we were. He made me walk like this until I heard bushes rustle and swing behind us. He let go and in front of me was a place like a dream. It was a grassy area, which was something like out of a movie. There was a gazebo and flowers that surrounded the place and trailed up and down it. "Wow….." I trailed off "Breath-taking huh?" Zander beamed. "How did you find this?" I started off. "I just, you know, wandered around" He said walking in circles. "And then Bam! I'm here" he said waving his arms as if saying ta-da! I smiled to myself. He laid down with his hands behind his back. I sat down with my feet to the side of me. I picked up a flower. It was a regular daisy but it was still beautiful. This place was perfect. "I know that look" Zander said snapping me out of my thoughts. "You're thinking this place is perfect right" he asked. I blinked at him. He was good. I nodded to him and he smiled. "Yea, I know. I thought the same when I found it." He now looked to me seriously. "But you can't tell or show anyone else" he said just as serious as his face. "Why would you want to share something so beautiful just to have it ruined?" I said. He smiled. "Glad you could see it my way". I knew that if people did know about this place, it would just be harder to enjoy it. I guess I looked like I was thinking about something as I stared at the clouds because Zander asked me "Whatcha thinking bout'?" "I don't even know" I said still staring up. If I looked down I would have to face those brown eyes. I was good at keeping eye contact, but I didn't really want to take the risk. I soon forgot about the eye contact problem and I looked down to see them staring at me. I wasn't a shy girl like most and I didn't blush easily so I just smiled back. He in a way looked surprised yet happy. I guess he was expecting me to be the "shy-pretty-girl-who-falls-in-love-with-the-handsome-guy-and-live-happily-ever-after-until-he-decides-he-wants-to-fall-out-of-love" type. Well sorry to break the news, but I wasn't. Don't get me wrong, I don't have commitment issues or anything. I just knew better. I guess you could say I was "wise beyond my youth". I laughed remembering the first time I was called that, which confused Zander. "Okay now I KNOW you're thinking bout' something. Spill!" he said with the brightest smile. "Oh just reminiscing" I lied. I was an exceptionally good liar. He made an O with his lips and then looked worried. "Is it time to go or…" I asked concerned partially about why he just suddenly went from happy to melancholy. Did I say something wrong? Could he figure out I was lying? "Is it about your ex. Did I remind you of him somehow?" he asked worriedly. I blinked. I hadn't quiet caught on until I remembered the previous conversation. "Oh, no I was just remembering the last time I actually went to some place peaceful. Which was actually quite some time ago" I said matter-of-factly. He smiled with reassurance. "Good, I just didn't want to see you like I did when I first saw you. Not that you weren't pretty or anything like that just that you were sad and…." He trailed off always finding something to trip over making him restart the conversation to try and comfort me. I giggled. "It's ok Zander, I get what you mean" I said. He sighed. "Good". Then I thought back on the conversation. "You think I'm pretty?" I said wiggling my eyebrows. He suddenly remembered what he said and moved his eyes to one side and smiled to himself, hoping I wouldn't see it but I moved my head so I was able. "Mhm…." I said. He turned to look at me. Damn it, eye contact. We stared at each other with emotionless faces until he smiled. I yawned now. I had no idea what time it was but I needed a nap after all that drama. I scooted so I could be closer to him. He looked surprised but I just continued and laid my head on him. I couldn't tell what he was doing because my eyes were closed and I was trying to sleep. Of course I had trouble though. I was laying on an extremely cute guy who just took me to a beautiful place that look like it came out of a movie and yet I was sleeping. I remembered a scene from a movie where the couple kissed all "romantically" as they met up on a beach but I had just met Zander. I wasn't going to go kissing him. I could feel him move a strand of hair from my neck. I could almost feel him staring at me. It made me want to smile brightly but I was pretending to sleep so I fought to smile but it crept on the edges of my mouth. I could hear him smile as if saying i-know-your-pretending-to-sleep so I opened my eyes and I could see above me was him smiling sweetly looking at me. "I want to hear you play" I said motioning to his ukulele. He looked confused until he remembered he had it around him. He turned it so now it was in front of him ready to play. "Any requests from the lady?" he asked. "Surprise me!" I said happily.
Give me love like her,
'cause lately I've been waking up alone
Paint
Splattered teardrops on my shirt
Told you I'd let them go
And that I'll
Fight my corner
Maybe tonight I'll call ya
After my blood turns into
Alcohol, No I just wanna hold ya.
I knew this song! It was give me love by Ed sheeran. I loved his music! I decided after the chorus part I would join him. I waited patiently as he sang it. I wanted to see the surprised look on his face. When I heard the last my my. I got ready.
Give me love like never before
'cause lately I've been craving more
And
It's been a while but I still feel the same
And
It's been a while but I still feel the same
You
Know I'll fight my corner, And that tonight I'll call ya, After my blood is
Drowning in alcohol, No I just wanna hold ya
He smiled
