Chapter 4
"RING, RING, RING, RI-"
"Hello, Arthur Kirkland speaking."
"Hey Arthur, it's Alfred. I was wondering, would you like to have another date?"
"Um… okay."
"Great, how about the park again. I found this amazing place."
"Okay, but what time?"
"How about 6 tomorrow?"
"Sure."
"Awesome. I'll meet you at the bridge. Bye Artie."
The phone hung up, and Arthur sighed. Walking away, he realized that he had never given Alfred his phone number.

Arthur stood at the stone bridge as he waited for Alfred. Alfred had been 15 minutes late already and time was still ticking. Just as Arthur looked at his watch, he heard a very big,
"HEY."
Arthur turned around to look at a very damp Alfred. He was soaked head to toe and his clothing was sticking to his body. It all looked rather attractive minus the wetness. The cloth fit snuggly against his muscles and his hair swooped over his striking blue eyes.
"Why are you soaked and why are you wet?"
"Sorry, I fell in the lake before I came to get you."
"You fell in a lake!?"
"Umm yeah," Alfred said while rubbing his neck. "You'll get to see it once I show it to you. But don't worry, I won't let you fall in."
Arthur was wary but then rolled his eyes, "You'd better make sure that I don't fall in."
Alfred just smiled, grabbed Arthur's hand and started running through the park.

Once they got to the "place" Arthur hunched over and panted. Alfred had ran through the bushes and climbed gates all while dragging Arthur. He wondered exactly how Alfred had managed to find the spot.
"Were here. Isn't it beautiful."
Arthur stood and looked at his surroundings. A circle of trees had hidden the spot from others view. There were flowers in random bunches. That bloomed in very imaginable color. And a beautiful crystal clear lake sat in the middle of it. Birds were chirping a merry tune and bunnies were hoping around the place. It looked like it was from a painting. Arthur gasped at how beautiful it was. Alfred let out a loose laugh and a smile.
"Come on, it's time to eat," Alfred said as he started to walk over to a picnic basket and blanket. He heard Arthur follow him and turned to look at Arthur.
"I hope you like chocolate."
