Love? I Don't Think So

Chapter 2

He holds my hand as we walk towards the door. His hand is just a little bit bigger than mine. He smells like that cologne that I saw the other day at the mall. What was it called... Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue!

"You okay, Beautiful?" He turns around to look at me again, still holding my hand. I nod so he continues walking. When we make it to the door, I feel someone's hand grip my right shoulder. When I turn around I see Sam and some guy I don't bother paying much attention to.

"Where do you think yourrr going young ladyyy?" Sam says with her voice slurred.

"I'm okay Sam. Don't worry about me." I say to her even though I'm not so sure myself.

"Mmmkay!"

Then I realize that I don't even know this guy's name. Let alone trust him.

"H-hey wait. What's your name?"

"Duke. The name's Duke."

"Duke. Duke. Duke." I whispered his name to myself until we were a block away from the party. His hand was still holding mine and we haven't said anything to each other, yet. I guess I was waiting for him to say something.

He breaks the silence as we start to go up a driveway. "Do you trust me, Princess?"

"Y-yes" I clear my throat, "I mean yeah. Yeah I do."

"Okay. Close your eyes."

"Wait. Why?"

"You said you trust me right? So, close your eyes."

When I hesitate to close my eyes he says, "Look I would never take advantage of you, drunk or not. I just want to show you something."

"Okay." And with that, I close my eyes.

He lets go of my hand and places both of his hands on my shoulders. He leads me toward something and he opens it. The sound is like a screech, so I'm going to guess that it's a gate. When it's open, he gently guides me through. I shuffle my feet so that I don't fall. We walk for a minute or two until he stops me.

"We can stop now and sit down here." He says to me while my eyes are still closed. I squat down until I'm sitting and I can feel him sit down next to me.

"Look up."

I open my eyes and the first thing I see is stars. And then I realize we are in a forest. I look at him, he smiles.

"Told you you can trust me." His smile widens. "Lay down with me." He lays down with his head on a log. He pats his chest and says, "Here. Lay your head down here."

I lay my head on his chest for another 5 minutes before either of us say a word. I look up at him and say, "Why did you bring me here?"

"I wanted you to see something as beautiful as you. What's your name Princess?"

"Nikki."

"Your real name Princess."

"Nicole."

"Perfect name for you Princess."

We talk for what seems like hours. I find out things about him like his favorite color is dark red. He likes to wear beanies over his hair because he thinks it's unruly. And that he just moved here two days ago with his parents from Tampa, Florida.

I tell him about my brother Alex and Sam and my parents. I tell him that my favorite color is dark purple or grey.

We talk and talk until the sun starts to rise and I fall asleep still laying on his chest.
