Short chapter!!!! Sorry!!!! :D
The next day, Patch decided we should go out. It sounded great to be out with him in an open, air filled, non sensual area for a while, just having fun. The only downer was that he didn't tell me where he was taking me. I got all dolled up, except make up, of course, because he likes me better without it, and put on a nice blouse and jeans and cute shoes and pinned my hair up and as best as I could, only to realize that this was Patch, and he could be taking me anywhere. We could be going to the forest for all I know. When I voiced my accusation about the forest, he smiled at me mischievously and said that I was perfectly dressed.
I'm not sure how long we drove in his truck but eventually we did stop. In the forest. As I had predicted.
"We're really stopping here?"
"Yup." He jumped out of the truck and opened my door, taking my hand. Instead of me walking on my own, he carried me into the dark forest, which I was a little skeptical of, but this was Patch. My guardian angel. He wouldn't let anything bad happen to me. And wouldn't do anything bad to me. We walked (well, he did) for about fifteen minutes until something happened and I couldn't see anything. Only pitch black. From reflex, I gripped Patch's arm, and gasped.
"Shh, it's just me. I want you to have the full effect of what we're about to see."
I relaxed a bit, then was nervous as to why he would want to have the full effect of something. For a while it felt like we were going uphill, and this made me even more nervous. Or anxious. I can't tell. Then Patch kissed me softly on my ear and whispered,
"Trust me."
And all my problems went away.
Finally we stopped. He slowly lowered me onto my feet, and steadied me.
"Okay. When I give you your sight back, try not to move. We're on cliff."
I nodded and felt the chilled wind swift by face and leaned back into Patch. I took deep breaths, taking in the scent and atmosphere before I opened my eyes, not knowing what I'd see.
"You ready?" He whispered into my ear, kissing my neck.
"Yes." I said calmly. I felt my sight come back to me, for I could feel a small light behind my eyelids, but I didn't open my eyes yet. I took in the scent and sounds. I could hear something like water running, hitting rocks and creating small waves. I could hear the grass rustling in the wind softly, gently, creating a swish sound. I loved it already and I couldn't even see.
I opened my eyes. Patch and I were standing on a sliver of land on the side of a small waterfall. Nothing like Niagara Falls, not even close, but smaller. Much smaller. The small lake that it poured out into was almost pond-like, and was surrounded by grass on most sides. I could feel the cold mist from the fall hit my face and make me shiver slightly, but not from cold. It was a good feeling. There were tiny schools of fish swimming dangerously close to the waterfall's edge, yet I knew they wouldn't fall over. I desperately wanted to pick up a few flowers that hung around the edge of the river, but knew if I did, I'd be pulled down with the current. There were no words for how beautiful this scenery truly was.
"It's—It's--"
"Beautiful. Amazing. Breath-Taking. Exquisite. Mind-Bottling."
"Yes!" I heard Patch chuckle behind me.
"How did you find this place?" I ask.
"I've got a lot of time on my hands when you're asleep."
"You're nutty." He chuckled again.
"See why I told you not to move?"
"Mhm. Would you be able to save me if the current pulled me down the falls?"
"Most likely."
"Sweet."
I continued to take in the sight, wondering how in the world I ended up here, with the most amazing guy in the world.
He carefully turned me around and kissed me gently. I took in his scent along with the scent of the forest and was in complete ecstasy as far as senses go. He kissed me with as much passion as he always does, if not more, and made the heat in my body come back, which he had no problem increasing.
We ended up on the ground on top of his jacket, making....................................
Out. Not making love.
But that did come later.
