Chapter Seven
"Where are we going?" I shrugged. I didn't really know where I was headed. I was letting my feet lead me. I looked up and saw that we had arrived at the park. I looked at him and saw him look over to me. A smile played across our lips. We untangled our fingers and raced to the swing set. I arrived first and pumped my fists in the air.
"Take that Mr. Strong." He laughed and swept me up in his arms. I was surprised at how easily he lifted me. I let out a giggle.
"Don't get so full of yourself Miss. Randall." I wrapped my arms around his neck and looked him in the eyes.
"Or what? Will Buddha sit on me or something?"
"No. I'll do this." Travis picked me up and set me over his shoulder. I playfully pounded his back.
"Set me down! Travis!!!" He laughed and continued walking. I was getting used to staring at the ground when he suddenly stopped. He lifted me up and set me down on a blanket that was lying in the grass. I focused on the sight in front of me and heard a gasp come from my mouth. I was sitting on a picnic blanket that Travis had set up. There was a basket filled with food and a lit candle. But the most breath taking sight was the lake that we were overlooking. We were on a hill so you could see the entire lake. The moonlight glimmered off of the water and the sight looked unreal. For a second I thought I was dreaming. My mouth hung open in shock as I turned to look at him. I tried to speak but nothing would come out.
"I thought you might like it here." I glanced back at the water and then to him again.
"How did you find this place?"
"It's not to far from the park. I come up here to meditate and sometimes I watch people walk in the park. This is where I saw you for the first time. I had just arrived in Roscoe and didn't feel like unpacking so I wandered around the park looking for a place to clear my head. I came up here and began to meditate. That's when I heard this voice coming from the swings. I had never heard anything so beautiful. I turned around and that's when I saw this gorgeous girl wearing a pink tank top and cargo pants. She had her eyes closed as she swung back and forth, her pigtail braids swinging with her, as if dancing to the hypnotic voice coming out of her beautiful lips." I felt my body heat rise to my face. I remembered that day. I could remember seeing a boy staring at me from atop the hill but I hadn't said anything.
"I saw you. You looked really cute. I just decided to ignore you and kept on singing. Then when I saw you at school I thought you looked familiar but I didn't know. I can't believe that was you." I grabbed his hand and looked into his deep gray eyes. I slowly leaned over and could feel his breath on my face. Our lips were about to touch when I abruptly pulled away. Something seemed very wrong, and it had nothing to do with Travis and I. Someone was watching us.
