you.

chapter 19

(This picture is a example of what the floor looks like but with more chery blossoms and it isnt a park like that!)

Saylor Gray

We stay in silence but the tension between us is suffocating and thick as we walk towards his car. He gets out his keys and presses the unlock button and I whip my head to the card that makes a beep sound. My jaw drops.

How rich is that boy?

I do not know any shit about cars like at all but this car was an absolute beauty. Everything about it screamed Ixion. The car was all a simple matte black which was so ridiculously cliché but Ixion was cliché like that. The typical Mr bad boy which a stupid thing people like to describe certain boys putting them into this box without even knowing them.

I don't realise I'm still gaping and drooling over the car until Ixion clears his throat loudly and raises an eyebrow at me.

"Are you getting turned on by a freaking car because I can see some drool there?" He remarks.

I scowl and walk towards the door letting myself in since its already unlocked. Oh man, forget what I said about the inside the outside looks even better. The matt black feels so smooth and everything inside the car looks so posh and expensive than if I touch anything I afraid it will break.

Ixion enters the car and catches me tracing the details of the car and from the corner of my eye, I can see him just staring at me. It made me feel uncomfortable with the intensity of his gaze I wonder what he is thinking of?

He looks always and gets ready to start driving. He puts his arm around my seat and looks back and then starts to drive removing his arm around my seat after giving me an eye roll for glaring at him. I look at the way he drives as he uses one hand to drive spinning the wheels as the other hand rests on his thigh.

Weird I've never seen someone drive like that.

Since I'm so focused on the way Ixion is driving and the car, I don't realise that we're heading somewhere completely different than my home also that I didn't even give him my address.

"Where are we going? I didn't even give you my address or anything?" I ask confused.

He doesn't reply instead he ignores me and keeps driving.

"Ixion you twat tell me" I demand.

"Calm down. You're the one who said not to talk also I'm taking you somewhere you would like," he says like it isn't a big deal.

"What why?" I ask still majorly confused.

"Because I felt like it." He says with a rough tone.

"This is kidnapping I didn't accept to go with you. Ixion, I want to go home and sleep" I say.

"You can do that later Gray also I can't turn back because we are pretty much here." as pulls up into a forest. Oh, a forest?

"Okay so if you're going to kill me and bury my body here can you please do it less painful then it has to be?" I ask.

He gives me a bewildered look and he genuinely looks concerned for me.

"What? It's not like I can run you were a football player you are too fast for me also I love forests so it's not a bad place to leave me dead." I say in a duh tone.

"Fucking crazy" he mutters under his breath.

I give him an offended look but he just ignores me and walks away leading me somewhere. We reach a bridge that is beautifully wrapped in bright fairy lights.

"This would look beautiful at night" I murmur softly.

"It is beautiful at night," he says equally soft.

Why we are talking like this? I have no idea.

"You come here often?" I ask

"Yeah, a lot actually it's my comfort place. Only Lucas and Armand know about this place but have never actually been."

"So, what is a bridge randomly doing here in a forest?" I ask I mean don't get me wrong it's beautiful but why is it randomly there.

A long peaceful silence goes by.

"Come on I'll show you" he speaks up.

He starts walking and I follow him crossing the bridge and I gasp at what I see.

A cherry blossom field while cherry blossom trees scattered everywhere around the field. It was truly a beautiful sight. Cherry blossoms were dancing everywhere and it looked just so magical. It was a whole new world and barely anyone was here. How do people not know about this place?

"How come there isn't anyone here?"

"I'm not sure, I'm pretty sure this place is abandoned and it is in the middle of a motorway so that kind of explains it I guess."

"oh yeah wait so the car?" I ask.

"Oh my god, are you blind? You didn't see one of my people taking it from me?" he replied astonished.

"I was thinking of the fact that you were about to kill me," I say sheepishly.

"Jesus Christ. Only you Gray only you," he says softly as he shakes his head in humour.

I chuckle and just for once embrace the feeling of being in this breath-taking place.

I lay on the ground so does Ixion as cherry blossoms engulf us. I close my eyes to feel more at peace and a sudden thought comes to my mind.

I turn to the side and voice out my thought "If we never broke apart do you think we would be in a relationship?" I ask.

"I mean it was pretty clear we had something for each other now that I think about it so yeah, I think we would be," he responds.

"Maybe in another lifetime," I say with my eyes watery at the thought.

"Maybe." He says back. He reaches for my hand and squeezes and I let him. He then let's go and returns to his own thoughts.

We maybe fell for each other, but we still weren't meant for each other. He broke me. He broke me to the point where I forgot who I even was but he taught me. He taught me how to live in this beautiful yet horrid world alone. What breaks me more was it was an almost. It could have happened but it didn't.

I shale away those thoughts and just admire the sky seeing the shapes the cloud makes.

"Saylor" Ixion calls.

"Ixion" I respond.

"Can I please explain?" he says in a delicate tone, not his usual hard voice.

I sigh.

"Not now Ixion and even if you do explain I'm not going to forget and forgive so easily you know."

He nods and stares at me while I just close my eyes.

Soon I notice he joined me and is holding my hand again so we just lie there peaceful and content.
