Stranger

XXIII.

*Three days later*

-ROSIE-

"Where do you plan on taking me?" Bella asked, tying her hair with a small scarf in a low ponytail and looking like a princess in her below the knee floral dress.

"Date." I vaguely replied, completely loving the way she tilts her head in confusion.

"Where to exactly?" She creased her brows, crouching down to slip her flat doll shoes that matched her attire.

"It's a secret, love. Where's the fun if I'll tell it to you now?" I laughed at her slightly pissed face.

"We need to be home early, Rosie. I'm telling you, I don't wanna be late to the airport tomorrow." Bella warned, looking back at her reflection in the mirror for the last time before walking towards me.

"I'll make sure to get you home before your curfew, ma'am." I saluted, giggling a little.

"Dorky." Bella rolled her eyes, tilting her head to the side and pointing at her cheek.

"Give me a kiss first so we can go." She ordered, impatiently tapping her cheek.

"Ugh, I love you so much!" I groaned at her cuteness, inching to smooch her face.

"Okay, now we should go because I'm starving."

"Where is this place that you're going to take me and why are we in the forest?" Bella huffed, swatting the big branches away as she tightly clung onto my arms.

"Stop whining and just follow me, okay? You'll love it there I promise." I glanced at her pissed face but she thankfully nodded.

"I better do."

"Okay we're close already, I want you to close your eyes." I smiled and went behind her, softly tying up a blindfold on her.

"What the hell, Rosie? Are you gonna murder me here or something? I should have known better than to trust you!" Bella yelled, smacking my shoulders. I know that she's slowly getting anxious at this.

"Relax, babe. I got you okay, don't you trust me?" I whispered against her ear and feel her slowly calm down.

"I do."

"Okay, now hold my hands and never let go okay? Just a few more steps." I guided her and smiled at the three people I hired to make our lunch date more special. They slowly left the place to give us some space, alerting Bella that we're not alone.

"What is that? Something is shuffling, are we not alone? Is there a bear in here? Don't even think of leaving me!" I laughed at Bella completely losing it and being hysterical.

"There's no bear in here, okay? I got you, hush now. We're almost there."

"You keep on saying that but I've been walking for minutes now." She whined.

"It's only 30 seconds, Bella?"

"Shut up! I don't like it anymore." I made her stop walking and held her legs and back, carrying her in bridal style so she would no longer complain.

"Rosie!" Bella squealed but I paid her no attention.

"I won't drop you, I promise." I took my sweet time admiring the place while holding her in my arms, I want to stay like this forever, I want this moment to be engraved in my mind.

"We're here my love, stand so I can remove your blindfold."
