Chapter 10:Courtney
I was very excited. I was supposed to meet Duncan at Greenway Park in 5 minutes. He said he had a special surprise planned for me. I walked towards Greenway Park. I wondered what he was planning. I would find out soon enough.
"Hey boyfriend," I called.
"Hey girlfriend," He replied. "I have a surprise for you."
"I know that. What is it?"
"Come with me." He said as he scooped me up into his arms.
"Let me go!!" I protested as pounded my fists against his arms, "Let me go. Ahh! Stop touching my butt!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. So many demands." He chirped as he smirked. Then he added, "You know you like it."
"You are so sick!"
"Are you done ranting?" He asked.
"Maybe."
"Good," He sighed.
"Where are you taking me?" I asked.
"You'll see." He was carrying me through the woods there was no path or anything. We came to a clearing with a lake view and nobody around.
"Here we are." He gestured to a picnic blanket. I threw my arms around him and kissed him. It might of just been me, but I thought he pulled himself away. He set me down and walked me towards the red and white checkered blanket.
I whispered, "I'm hungry!"
"What do you want to eat princess?" He asked.
"Anything, just slide it down in front of me and a lot of it."
"That's the spirit!" Duncan joked. I ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, potato salad, and I kissed Duncan, who reported that my lips tasted like peanut butter. (I thought he pulled away again.) We watched the sun set down below the hills that lay beyond the lake, and for a moment I felt as if my life was complete. Then, I remembered my mom.
"Oh no!" I exclaimed, "My mom! I better get back!"
"Okay princess, let's go!" He said, and once again he picked me up and carried me through the woods. Branches tore up my hair, and pine needles scratched my face, but I was still happy to be with Duncan. We soon got to my three story, four bedroom, four bathroom house. Duncan lifted me up to the window that inside held my bedroom.
"I don't want to leave you," I said sadly.
"You're not leaving me, I'm leaving you for now. Don't worry I'll see you soon. Happy Early Birthday princess." With that he kissed me goodbye and ran off of my property. He waved once and disappeared.
