In my time in New York I had grown to love it very much. I especially loved being in Central park. I try to go every chance I get. It's so beautiful there and today I am walking with a very gorgeous guy.

I got to the entrance and Danny was already there.

"Hi Danny."

"Bella! Wow, you look nice." he said. "uh…Hi!"

I was wearing a black tube top sundress with white stripes and white ankle-tie wedges. My hair was straight with curls at the bottom.

I laughed, "Thank you." He didn't look so bad himself. He was wearing jeans with a blue button up shirt that showed off his gorgeous eyes.

"So I thought since we were going to spend the day here, why leave the park for lunch. I brought us a picnic." he said hold up a basket.

"oh that's awesome. I didn't even think about that. What all did you pack?"

"You'll just have to wait until we stop and eat." he said flirtingly.

I just laughed. "Ok then let's walk. I was hoping to take a stroll through Shakespeare's Garden. Is that ok with you?"

"Yeah we can go wherever you'd like. We can talk and get to know each other in the process."

"Works for me. So Danny where are you from?"

"Oh I see how it is, put the pressure on me first."

I laughed. "Yep" popping the 'p'.

He chuckled. "ok um.. I was born and raised in Albany, New York. I am 20 years old and I go to NYU to get my master's degree in journalism. I am the youngest of 4 kids, two brothers, Noah & Ryan, and my sister, Allison.

"Wow that's a big family. 4 siblings. That must have been fun. I'm an only child."

"It was crazy at times and being the youngest I got bullied a lot but I loved every minute of it." He laughed.

"What about your parents?"

"My father is a writer and my mother is a pediatric doctor. Uh..um.. I have no clue what else to say about myself." We laughed. "What about you? Are you from New York?"

I laughed, "No, I'm from Phoenix."

"Wow, you're a long way from home."

"Yeah I am. I lived with my dad in Washington. In a small town called Forks before I moved here."

I talked for awhile, telling him all about my family, about living in Phoenix with my mom and about the time I spent with Charlie in Forks. When we got to a good place we sat down to eat.

"I finally get to find out what's in the basket. It better be good mister!"

He laughed, "Well I hope you like it. I didn't know what you did or didn't like to eat and kept it simple. If you don't like anything we can always eat at the Loeb Boathouse."

" I'm sure everything you packed is delicious. So we will not eat at the boathouse."

"Yes ma'am" he said saluting.

He grabbed the basket and pulled out a container of lemonade and two glasses. He also pulled out a sandwich. "this one is cold roasted chicken sandwich"

"oh sounds good."

"I've also brought Asian Turkey wraps, fruit-and-cheese shish kebabs, and a potato salad.

"Is there dessert in that basket?"

"Well I was going to wait till after we ate but since you asked" he pulled out a container, opened it and revealed brownies.

"Awesome!"

"I take it you like brownies."

"I love brownies."

We continued talking while we ate.

"So Arizona" I laughed "you've told me a lot except what brings you to the Big Apple."

I winced. I knew that question was going to come up eventually. "Honestly Danny?! A broken heart."

"Oh I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked."

"Danny don't apologize. You didn't know. I came here to start anew and I have. I love this city and my job. I have a few friends and they are great. I especially love this park. Surrounding myself with trees, I find it so peaceful, reminds me of Forks. Yeah I came here to get away but I love this place so it worked out."

"I don't know you all that well but I confidently say his loss."

I blushed. "Thanks. It's not only about him. I loved his family as if they were my own and his sister was my best friend. Her leaving crushed me as well." Oh I wanted to smack myself for bringing the moment down. "I'm sorry, I'm bringing down our good day."

"No your not. I asked and besides your still here and I'm still enjoying myself." he smiled.

God he has a nice smile. "So Danny since you brought lunch, how about I take you on a boat ride?"

"Sure." he smiled. "That sounds like fun."

We spent about two hours on the boat just floating on the water, talking. After the boat ride we renewed our walk around the park. It was a little after 6 when we arrived at my apartment.

"I had a fabulous time Danny. Thank you so much for joining me." I smiled.

"Your welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed the day." he said smiling back.

Gah his smile was deadly, I felt myself go weak at the knees.

"And thank you for bring a delicious lunch." I leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

I stood up straight again and looked at his face and giggled. It was plastered with surprise but once the shock wore off, he smiled.

" How about I call you tomorrow? Maybe be can meet up again soon."

"I'd like that. Goodnight Danny."

"Night Bella."

I closed the door and leaned against it. Today was a great day. I liked being with Danny. I actually liked Danny. He was easy to talk to and fun to hang with. I smiled. I can't wait until I next time I see him.
