Hey, Riss here. (:
The following chapters will be much better, well I'm hoping anyway.
Sorry for not updating as frequently. I just finished reading Jane Eyre, then hoping to read Love Cuts.. So heaps more to do. But since I'm on a 3 hour drive, with my laptop I'm gonna write some awesome chaps!
Bliss/Dylan chap with Bliss' POV.
Rissaa.
Chapter 23; Surprises.
It had been a week since Bliss and Dylan had been dating, in public. At first, people had a big reaction towards it, and it sent everybody's phone's buzzing, you could even say it was like an episode of Gossip Girl. Mimi was disappointed in her choice of boyfriend.
"Is he selling you drugs? Cause you know that stuff doesn't effect us. Plus that stuff confuses our system sometimes. Oh my god, is he blackmailing you?Oh my god, no what is he's-" Mimi babbled on.
"Mimi! Relax. I really like him. No drugs, blackmailing, it's not a joke. I like Dy-lan Ward." Bliss said calmly.
But Mimi seemed nonchalant afterwards and after one day phone's stopped vibrating and just like that, it was 'old' news.
Right now, Bliss was waiting for Dylan to take her somewhere. He didn't say where just when, which made her feel nothing but suspicious and curious. Somebody had covered her eyes from behind, making her vision blocked by the palms of their hands.
"Dylan!" she squealed in delight.
"Shh, don't talk. Trust me." he said.
"Fine, but can you let go? I can't a see a thing." she asked.
"That's the point, it's a surprise." he clarified while leading her to her 'surprise'.
Without seeing, she could hear that they went through a lot of crossings. She could hear the beeping sound of the traffic lights, people chatting and taking sips of their coffee while being late for work, the footsteps taken from the pedestrians and the patient cars' engine as they walked across, but after awhile she had heard no sounds of traffic or anybody for that matter.
"Are we there yet?" she wondered.
He slowly removed his hands from her eyes allowing her to see.
They arrived at an old tree-house which was well constructed. The tree-house was decorated from old lights that glowed like Christmas lights on Christmas.
"I used to play in here, when I was little." Dylan admitted shyly.
Bliss knew that Dylan was a shy guy, and him telling her things made her happy.
"Wow. It's wonderful." she breathed while stepping towards the door. On the door it had a sign carved in wood, NO GURLS ALOWD. Guessing from the spelling mistakes, the sign was also very old like the tree-house. She laughed.
"I guess that means I'm not allowed." she said while putting on a fake sad face.
"Nah. Pretty ones don't count." he said smiling.
He walked inside, as she followed.
She was expecting the place to be dusty and messy, with spider-webs in the corners. But instead, it wasn't messy, it was completely tidy with no dust in sight or one spider-web. There was a table set up in the middle with a red flower in the vase. He gave her a seat on one side of the table while he sat himself on the other side.
He got a plastic bag from under the table carrying Chinese takeaway in rectangular containers.
"I really hope you like Chinese food." he smirked while gliding one container to her across the table with a plastic fork and spoon.
"Trust me, I'm not Mimi." she joked.
After finishing their food, Dylan had packed up all the containers and out them back in the plastic bag.
"Hey, if you used to play here when you when you were little then.. That must mean you didn't just move here, right?" she thought.
"We moved from here when I was 4 after my dad passed away.. Then we missed it back here so we moved back and so people thought I was the new bad boy. I actually went to kindergarden with most of the people at Duschene, but I guess most of the people wouldn't remember." he explained.
"Hey-" she began to say.
"I have something I want to give to you." he said cutting her off.
"What is it?" she asked.
He got another thing from the plastic bag from below. This time it was a small paper bag with a red case in it. He opened the red case and it had an necklace inside. The necklace was silver, had a green emerald heart in the middle and silver buds in between.
"I-I can't accept this." she gasped.
"It didn't cost me a thing, honestly. I just found it in my room, behind shelves. Had some note from a guy called Alfred the Lord of Burlington to Margaret Stanford or something.. It reminded me of you and so did the note so I brought it as well." he described while handing the note to her. She read the note.
For my dear Margaret Stanford.
You've bewitched me,
With your red curls and green eyes.
-A gift from me to you.
"Are you sure you didn't write this?" Bliss asked for certainty.
"Yeah, I'm not the poetic type. I guess this Margaret Stanford looks like you." Dylan replied.
She smiled and got the necklace out of the case while he helped her get it on.
"Wait, don't sit down back yet." he said.
"Why?" she questioned.
"I have another surprise." he smirked.
She groaned.
"Another one? Does this mean I have to get my eyes covered.. Again?" she thought.
"Actually.. Yes." he smirked as if what she just said changed his original idea.
He put his hands over her eyes, once again. They said their goodbyes to the tree-house and went across the crossings, so she could tell that they were back in the city.
"Seriously Dylan, where are you taking me?" she giggled.
"You'll find out." was his reply.
Minutes later, they had slowed their pace, so they were probably close to wherever he was taking her.
"Uncover your eyes." he whispered into her ear.
She gently removed his hands away.
It was the Manhattan Bridge. Well, they weren't technically there, but you could see it perfectly when you were below it on the pave-way. The water looked stunning under the stars, and the night sky of skyscrapers. She almost cried. This had to beat all the dates with any other guy, and their fancy restraunts. He clasped onto her hand tight.
"Dylan.." Bliss whispered, looking at him directly.
"What is it?" Dylan wondered.
"Kiss me." she said.
Their lips collided, and their tongues twirling, two teenagers crazy in love. As they were in their embrace, her necklace shined.
