Dylan and I could now publicly date so we did. We went on milkshake dates, long walks on the beach and we watched alot of old movies on his laptop in the treetrunk. Huddled up in blankets and pillows. One saturday morning i had to help Alice make muffins for her campaign for class president. When we were done i took a few with me as i grabbed my bike and started heading for the woods. On my way there i got a text from Dylan. He sent me a location and "got time?" This was different. I had never been near this location. As i approached a large ranchfield with a big barn in the center i recognized the song Dylan was always humming. The large door was a little open and i peeked inside. "Hey beautiful". Dylan rolled out from under an old truck in the far left corner of the barn. I walked over to him and he gave me a kiss on my forehead. "What do you think?" He asked while pointing at the truck. I didn't know what he wanted me to say so i just smiled and asked him: "Is it yours?" he nodded. "I got it from my uncle, i just had to fix it up a little but it's good to go" i walked around to the other side, opened the passagers seat and got in. He did the same on his side. "A real prize ha?" He looked at me waiting for an answer. "I can't wait for all the adventures we're going to have in here". That sounded wrong. "I mean, we can go on roadtrips and stuff." He grinned and got out. He walked over to my side and put his arms around my waist as i turned around to him. He pulled and i folded my legs around his hips. He was hard. I paniced. "W..we should find a way to get it all the way into the woods". He stared into my eyes for a few seconds and then he let go. He got back into the truck, turned the keys in the ignition and the car coughed a few times before the motor finally turned on. We shut our doors and he drove out of the barn. As we turned onto a highway we rolled the windows all the way down and he turned the radio up. This feeling was amazing. The wind was cold and refreshing. I looked at him and he could see that i was having fun. He intertwined our fingers and kissed the back of my hand.

He was heading to the beach and he sped up. I have no memories of going to the beach except a picture of my mom and dad, me in his arms. I was maybe two years old. Whenever i ask my mom about it or going to the beach she always says the same: "i'd rather not". Growing up learned to respect that sentence so i did. Dylan pulled up into the parking lot. It was busy as hell. He drove to the far left and suddenly over the sidewalk onto the beach. "What are you doing?" I asked a little scared. "Relax, wait and you'll see". He drove the truck through the sand, leaving the parking lot and the crowded part of the beach behind us. Then i realised he was heading in the direction of the woods. I already saw the trees and i squeezed his hand. He looked at me and smiled. I love his smile. I looked to the right and absorbed the image of the sea. How the waves threw themselves at the shore and how the horizon endlessly supplied more and more of them. Suddenly a shadow fell over the car and i jumped. It was the tall trees of the woods. We had reached them but Dylan kept driving straight into the mass of trees and darkness. I couldnt see a road but the truck managed to pass through every gap of trees Dylan pushed it through. I was stunned. There was a road into the woods. I just sat there amazed and confused. How did Dylan know this road? It was so far and hidden away. I didn't know this part of the woods but suddenly Dylan stopped the truck and got out. He walked over and opened the door for me. I jumped out and he grabbed my hand. We took about five steps till i realised where we were. The clearing! He had found a way for the truck to ride in all the way here and he parked behind the huge old tree. I turned around and jumped into his arms. "Suprise" he said quietly. But his smile revealed he was just as excited as i was. "I love you" i said. Our lips met and he gently pushed me backwards against the truck. My left hand was on his chest and my right hand went through his hair. He purred like a cat and we burst into laughter.
