Chapter Ten

Leland's PoV

"Can I carry your shoes?" I asked Kylie. She nodded slowly. "I promise I won't lose them and they'll be safer with us than in the car" I continued as Kylie just smiled at me before I took her right hand and picked her up bridal style.

"Why did you pick me up?" she asked wrapping her arms around my neck.

"So you don't know where we are" I replied kissing her cheek before placing her on the blanket I had laid out around the campfire. "You can open your eyes now" I whispered into her ear.

She slowly opened her eyes I wanted to see her reaction to the beach I had spent hours transforming and ensuring that it looked absolutely perfect. Kylie's best friend Patrick had helped me to ensure it was perfect for the date.

I had put red roses in vases and lit candles around the tent that I had put up in between the two palm trees overlooking the water. I had also brought a large cooler full of food like chocolate dipped strawberries which I had hidden inside the tent along with swimwear for both of us and piles of cushions and blankets.

I wrapped my arms around Kylies waist which I knew was a high risk given the fact that she punched me in the face the first time I tried to get too close to her. I knew she would be trying to work out who was behind her I felt her body tense up.

"Sweetie it's alright it's only me" I whispered in Kylie's ear. She just smiled at me.

"Thank you for bringing me here. But why here?" she asked me.

"Well" I began before I got up and sat down again in front of Kylie so I could see he wonderful deep blue eyes "I heard that you've never been to the Hawaiian beaches and I they are the best beaches in the world so I thought I would bring you here and also I wanted to take you on a picnic and swimming and this was the best place. Patrick helped me" I said to her.

"Really but I put all this make up on and this dress and my best shoes to come to a beach" she replied. I nodded. Before I picked Kylie up and started running down the beach towards the crystal clear blue sea as she was screaming at me then I stopped just at the sea shore and put her down on to the powder sand. Before wrapping my arms around her waist again but this time with Kylie facing me. As we watched the sunset down behind the horizon, we held hands, so I kissed her before pushing her closer to the sea again. Teasing her further.

"I'm sorry" I said as I scooped her up again before carrying her over to the tent where all the swimwear was.

"What are doing?" Kylie asked trying to kick and hit me

"Going swimming" I replied

"But I haven't got anything to wear" she replied

"Well you could go skinny dipping" I teased back at Kylie

"NO" she yelled back at me

"It's ok I'm only joking with you, sweetie" I replied "I bought you a bikini"

"Oh that's sweet thank you" she replied as I dropped her back into the tent before throwing the bikini I bought for her at her face.

"Right you can change in the tent" I shouted back at the tent as I started to get changed into my swimwear. Once I was ready I turned around to see Kylie dressed in the bikini I had bought her today. It was peach with polka dots and a halter neck. Wow it looked amazing on Kylie with her amazing black dip dyed teal hair which was fake as I can now see.

"Nice bikini" I yelled across at her.

"Have you got a hair tie" Kylie yelled back to me.

"Sure" I said carefully taking the ponytail holder out of my braid and passing it across to Kylie.

"Can you braid my hair please?" Kylie asked nervously

"Sure" I replied gently brushing her hair through with my fingers before plaiting it very slowly and placing the ponytail holder in the bottom of the braid. That's when I noticed the tattoos which went all the way down her back with her piercing at the bottom of her spine.

"Close your mouth boy and stop staring at my ass" she said to me I could tell she was teasing me slightly.

"I just never realized you had tattoos and piercings" I replied as I picked Kylie up and threw her over my shoulder running down the beach towards the sea. I stopped just before I reached the seashore and put her down on the sand. So she was facing me.

"I love you Kylie" I said

"I love you too Leland" she replied kissing me before I picked her up and threw her into the sea.

"Sorry sweetie I just could resist" I said picking Kylie up out of the sea.

"It's ok I'm sure I'll get revenge on you eventually" She replied "Leland, I have a question for you"

"Yeah sweetie what is it?" I asked feeling slightly worried.

"Am I safe in my apartment?" she said looking very worried.

"I don't know why?" I replied

"Well I still don't feel safe after what happened with Michael and Zac" she said shaking slightly "and I know that you're going back to the big island soon so you would be here to protect me Mr. Chapman"

"It's ok you can move in with Dad and Beth when I'm not here if you want" I said to her giving her a hug. I really hope shell be alright. "or there is always another solution you come with me to the big island or we will help you buy a house here nearer to dad and Beth if you want to stay here" she just nodded

"I don't want to ruin your evening let's forget about this for now I'll talk to everyone else about it tomorrow" Kylie said still shivering.

"Right let's take you back to the tent and the campfire" I said before carrying her up the beach to our tent and wrapping her in one of the blankets which I had brought with us.

"Thank you" she whispered at me holding my hand.

"Do you want any food?" I asked Kylie as she sat staring at the fire still holding my hand. She nodded at me then let go of my hand slapping my butt as I headed towards the cooler in the tent.

"We have marshmallows, cookies, chocolate dipped strawberries, champagne, cake, pineapple and melon" I said to Kylie.

"Haven't we got any pretzels, gelato or quesadillas" she asked impatiently as she wrapped her arms around my waist kissing my back.

"I'll call Lyssa" I said "I'm sure shell bring you pretzels, gelato and quesadillas" she nodded as I went to call Lyssa.

"Hey Leland"

"Lyssa can you do me a favor" I begged

"It depends what it is. I'm kind of busy" she teased

"Ok can you come here with quesadillas, pretzels and gelato please" I asked hoping she would say yes.

"Ok I'llbring Patrick too" she said chirpily before hanging up.
