Tanner has it all. He has...

When we got to his truck- before he let me in- he held out a black bandana, rolled up.
"Um, this isn't where you murder me right?" I joke, hoping that's all it would be.
He chuckles and shakes his head. "Of course not, I like you too much. Maybe lock you in my basement, but never kill you." He teases with a wink.
I fake a laugh even though inside I'm dying, his sense of humor is something I love about him. It's awkward, could be dark, carefree and just all around goofy, like mine. "Ha-Ha, very funny. Your basement better be finished and have a king size bed for me to sleep in." I quip right back.
"Gotta love a girl who knows how she wants to be treated." He places a hand over his heart. "I promise I'm not trying to kill you or anything, I just want it to be a surprise." The corners of his lips tilt up slightly in a sheepish grin.
My heart swells at how much thought he must have put into this date. I turn my back to him, backing up close enough for him to tie the blind fold over my eyes.
He secures it with a knot, waving a hand in front of my face to test my vision.
"Anything?" He asks in a whisper against my ear, my back still pressed against his chest.
I swallow hard and shake my head. A chill ravages my body, goosebumps covering my skin as his breath brushes against my ear.
He helps me into his truck and closes the door behind me before he slides into the driver's side and starts the engine, pulling out of the student parking lot.
From what I can tell we didn't drive too long, or far but I can tell from the terrain that we're no longer on pavement.
Within a few minutes the truck comes to a stop and I can hear him slide out, the door closing behind him. My door opens and I can feel his hand slide into mine, guiding me out of the truck. He's behind me again as he works on untying the blindfold, letting it slowly slide off my eyes.
I keep my eyes shut, opening them slowly as I feel his hands on my arms, slowly rubbing up and down.
What I see before me is one of the most jaw dropping. From what I can see in the dark we're in some type of grassland. Rolling hills surround his, the grass so high it sneaks between the fabric of my yoga pants, tickling my shins.
"Holy fuck." I say out loud.
Tanner grins at me before he pulls the seat up, revealing the back seat of his truck filled with blankets and pillows. He keeps himself busy, pulling them out and piling them into the bed of the truck.
This man surprises me more and more every single moment. This is something that I only thought happened in romance novels, but now it was happening to me in real life.
