Please review :)

I stepped down he flight of stairs, continuing my everlasting stare into Quil's eyes. "Thank you..." I managed to spit out despite my nervousness and intense butterflies, "You ready to go?"

"Absolutely" He said, taking my hand. I smiled at him. "After you" he motioned to the door, and walked forward listening to Quil as he followed and shut the front door.

"So... where are we going?" I eagerly asked, "Come on, i know you want to tell me!"

"Not gonna work Claire-bear. It's a surprise."

I sighed at both the nickname and the surprise. Couldn't Quil see i was old enough to stop the nicknames! It was so frustrating. I wanted him to see me as the teenager i was. I was fifteen! Seriously! it was so annoying how he continued to call me that. It was like he was purposely reminding myself about how young i was.

I finally decided to say something about it, i literally had it. "Quil, can you not call me Claire-bear anymore? Doesn't it seem a little bit childish? I am fifteen after all. Only 6 more months before i can have my permit. and only a year i can drive. I'm growing up Quil, and those nicknames, while i do love them, just dont suit me anymore."

I could see Quil tense, and the sadness in his eyes. He watched me my entire life. He was there for everything. It was the same way a father watches a daughter. He hated to see me grow up, but we both knew it had to happen sooner or later.

"You're right. You are growing up into a beautiful, mature young lady. And I am so happy i get to see you grow up."

"Thanks Quil, i knew you would understand." He smiled, so i continued, "So can you tell me now?"

"Almost there, just a few more minutes."

I pouted. Not because i was upset at anything. I just knew i could get what i wanted when i pouted when it came to Quil. It really felt as if his entire life was devoted to making me happy. I'm probably just imagining it, but sometimes that boy really has me fooled. I could have sworn he told me one night while i was sleeping that i was everything to him. I must have dreamed it.

I must have really been deep in my day dream because i didn't even realized we had arrived. I opened the car door, and cautiously took a step out. I couldn't even begin to process what was in front of me.

It was a little discreet area, surrounded by trees, with a small stone bird bath. the ground was exceptionally green and the land looked out to the crystal clear never ending ocean. The light hit the area so perfectly, it was literally sparkling. On the ground, there was a red and white picnic blanket, and a basket, with two pillows and a blanket. It was absolutely perfect. Though i didn't know why we were here, or what this was for... Whatever it was. It was perfect.

"Its... It's beautiful. Thank you Quil. I will never forget what this looks like. Its as if it has been engraved into my memories. It;s perfect. Thank you."

"You are so very welcome princess," Quil said kissing the top of my head. Those damn nicknames! I thought in my head, while mentally rolling my eyes. I let it slide though. I wasn't going to ruin this moment.

I sat down on the blanket, being careful not to let the party slip yet. Honestly, it wasn't a big deal, but for as long as i could remember, Quil made everything regarding my social life and safety a big deal. Bigger than it ever needed to be. I guess it was because he cared, but it was weird.

There was always something off about him. He would randomly leave, for hours at a time, and always came back shirtless. He was very warm, like he was always running a fever. He looked like he was around 20, but i dont think he had even mentioned to me how old he was. And i swear, the way he looked at me sometimes. It took my breath away. It's like he saw his entire life come together when he looked at me. Though i had always noticed these things, i would be too caught up in his presence to ever mention them.

After we had finished eating, i decided to stop being a complete pussy and just tell him im going out later, and for him not to worry. I would ensure him i wouldn't act like a slut before that thought even went to his mind, and i wouldn't go crazy, or act stupid. I needed a game plan going into this. This... Asking my friend a question... was literally more confusing than my trig homework.

"So... Can i ask you a quick question?" I said smiling, so he wouldn't jump to conclusions.

"Sure sweet heart." That nick name was slightly more tolerable.

"There's a party on the beach tonight, not too far from here actually, and i was wondering if you were okay with me going. I know i dont need your permission to go, but i'd like it if you were okay with it at least. If you really dont want me to go though... I wont."

He looked pained for a second. My heart rate sped up. Oh shit. I probably made him mad. He is the best guy ever. He did all this for me, and i want to go to a party. I'm a shitty person. I feel so bad.

"As much as i would love to spend the day with you," He started, "I understand that you also have a life with other friends, and i'm completely okay with that. Don't seem so nervous, I still care about you all the same. Just be safe. Call me if you need absolutely anything."

"Of course" I ensured

We sat watching the sun set for what felt like hours, but was probably only fifteen minutes. I really loved spending time with Quil and making every single moment count. I could tell he loved it to by the way he looked at me, and held me close when we were alone. My heart rate started to speed up. I really really was falling in love with this guy. Damn. How did i not see this coming. I love Quil. But, he is so much older, and so hot too. He would never go for me.

He smiled at me and looked back at the sunset. I wanted to grab him and kiss him right then and there. my brain told me not to, and my heart told me to. The conflict made me tear up.

"Claire?" He asked, "Are you okay?"

"yeah..." I replied, "The sun set is really pretty, and this is just so perfect."

"You're right. The scenery is gorgeous." Funny though. He said that staring straight at me, as if he was telling me that i was more beautiful than the sunset. I convinced myself that i was making it up.

At 7:00, we decided to head back. The party started 8:30, and i still had to shower and get ready.

We drove back to Sam and Emily's house. Though it was a silent ride, the tension and spark between us, (Some of it being sexual), was so thick, i could barely breath.
