Chapter Six: Date
It felt like the longest day of my life, waiting for Skye.
After waiting all day, Skye rang at 5. "I'm out the front." She said.
"Okay, I'm on my way down." I said as I stepped into my shoes and walked out the door of my hotel room. I got down to the front, Skye was leaning on her car, she was wearing a tight, black high-waisted skirt and a white blouse, her hair was pulled into a bun.
"Hi." She greeted me.
"Where were you today?" I asked her, referring to her professional attire.
"Court." She answered.
"What were you doing in court?" I asked.
"Um...Jury Duty." She answered.
"You're lying." I pointed out, I'm not very good with people, but this was obvious.
"Yes, I am. I'm not going to tell you why, because I'm really sick of talking and hearing about it today. I might tell you one day." She said, kind of sternly. I was silent. "Oh, my god, sorry, that sounded really mean." Skye said in a sympathetic voice.
"That's okay."
"I will tell you that you are not spending your time with a criminal." She smiled.
"So, what are we doing tonight?" I asked her, not knowing what else to say.
"I know a place." She said as she turned around and got into the car. I got in to.
"What kind of place?" I asked.
"You'll see." She said as she started the engine. We drove for about 5 minutes, not saying much, until Skye pulled into a McDonald's and drove her car into the drive through.
"McDonalds's? This is the place you know?" I said.
"No. Well, yes. I do know this place, but this is not the place." She said.
"So where is the place?" I asked.
"I said you'll see." Skye told me.
We went through the drive through and ordered a meal each. Skye put the brown paper bags on my lap and continued to drive. We drove for another 10 minutes until Skye pulled over across the road from a children's playground.
"A playground?" I asked as I got out of the car with the food.
"No." Skye locked the car. "Follow me." I followed her past the playground and into a small forest behind it. Skye took me down a short path. Then we were in a small clear patch of grass, surrounded by trees.
"Grass?" I asked.
"Grass."Skye confirmed. She took her black heels off and sat down. I sat across from her and put the food between us. She opened up a bag and took her burger and fries out. I did the same. "I haven't been here for years."
"Why now?" I asked her.
"I was thinking about it today. This was somewhere I would come when I was in high school, because no one was ever here. I could be alone. I would do my homework or read a book." Skye took a bite of her burger "I used to live just down the street."
"It sounds good."
"It was. I mean, I don't think I was the only one who knew about this place, I was just always the only one here."
"Is this where you take all your dates?" I asked. I immediately regretted it.
"Is this a date now?" Skye asked with a smile on her face.
"Sorry." I said.
"No, don't be. This can be a date. Sure." She smiled. It was beautiful "And to answer your question, no, I don't take all of my dates here. You are special."
"Thanks."
"No probs." Skye said. She laid down on her back and tapped the grass next to her. I moved over and laid down next to her. "I know this is weird, considering I only met you a couple of days ago." Skye said. "But I think I'm in like with you."
"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked, I turned my head so I was looking at her, she did the same.
"I really like you." She said. I smiled.
"I really like you." I told her. Then we were just lying there, looking at each other. "You're really beautiful." I told her, even though she probably already knew. She laughed. "I'm not joking." I said.
"I'm flattered. You're not too bad looking yourself." She said to me.
"Thanks." I said. Skye moved her head closer to mine. Our lips touched. We kissed. It wasn't like any kiss I've had before, this was different, better.
A/N: Yay! I hope you liked. Please review saying what you think. I'll be very greatful.
