It has been four days after the party and the couple has been madly in love then before. Everyday he has something new it could be massaging her feet, bringing flowers, buying chocolate which she never gets to eat because of me and little Reece.
They love has grown so much that Natalie hasn't been in my ways and I'm kind of glad. I know she saw me dancing with Vally and I don't want to be put into an interrogation room with detective Natalie.
Sitting in my office and checking the document there's a knock on the door. "Come in" I call out and Kristen's head pops by the door.
"Hi, can I come in?" She asks while she's already inside.
"As a receptionist nope, but as my gossip partner yes" I say. We both laugh and she takes a seat opposite me. "Girl look how you glowing" she looks at me.
"What can I say my life is going very smooth". We sit together and chat about life but mostly about boys. It's knock off time now and I look at my beeping phone. I check the notifications and see that Vally dmd me on instagram.
Vally
I'm coming to pick you up.. cancel your cab
Me
Where we going ?
Vally
For me to know and for you to find out
A smile creeps on my face and I feel alive. Packing my things I hear a car hooter outside and I know that my date is outside.
Date. It can't be I mean we not in love. Well I am but I'm not sure about him. What is it that we doing ?. Is it fooling around?. I guess that's the only answer I have right now fooling around.
Now with guilt I wish I had my car. I would of went home long time, but now I have no choice as it's dark outside and I agreed to go out with him. I sigh and walk out of the building to find him waiting patiently for me.
I open the passenger door, put my things in and take a seat. "Rough day?" He asks me while looking at me.
"I guess" I shrug my shoulders. I look out of the window to avoid his stare while he starts driving fast.
"You like nature?" He seems to be in a good mood because he hardly speaks and here he is trying to bring up a conversation. "Yeah, you" if it was any other day I would've told him a whole lot of reasons why also but I'm a feeling guilty for being around him.
He nods and stops the car "No way" I say out loud. "This is a freaking forest" I turn to look at him and his million dollar smirk.
"Lets go" he opens the door and puts on his jacket. I jump out and look around. "There could be wolves or predators or something scary and evil there" I tell him But he just smiles.
"You watch to much movies." He says while looking at the trees. "I would never let anything hurt you" he finishes off.
We walk in the forest quietly with only the sound of branches breaking. It's very cold but luckily he had a extra jacket for me . As we walk I hear some noise from behind me and I walk faster to catch up with him.
He just looks at me and carries on walking. I'm so scared but I feel a bit safe around him. Another sound comes from my left side and I wrap my hand around his arm. This is exactly what happens when you watch too much horror movies.
He just looks at me and how my hand is wrapped around his arm. "What. Girls feel safe when doing this" I say. He doesn't say anything but just carries on walking.
We finally reach a huge rock which I think is our destination as we stop. He helps me climb and we both sit on it. It's so beautiful as it's giving a better view of the dark night sky. My phone rings and it's Natalie.
"Hi, where you?. It's getting late" She asks me. I know she's worried but I'm a big girl now and can make my own decisions. "I'm at.. a friends house. We discussing business as we have a presentation tomorrow. But I promise to come back" I tell her and look at Vally whose smiling.
"Okay. Then night" she says then cuts the call. Okay that was very quick and easy.
"Wait here. I'll be right back" Before I could answer he is gone. My heart is beating so fast and I'm so freaking scared. It's so quiet and the only thing that can be heard now is the wind passing by and the flowing river at the bottom of the rock.
"Vally, Vally" I call out. My voice echoes through the dark quiet trees. He is taking so long and I can't take it anymore. "Miss me already, princess" he comes out of nowhere with stones in his hands.
He puts them down in between us and sits down watching the night sky. "Are we perhaps waiting for Santa Claus" I break of the silence and we both start laughing. We have been here for the past minutes and I got no idea what's happening here.
"This is one of my favourite places. It helps me escape from everything and everyone" he says while still looking at the sky.
I turn to look at him all serious. His curly hair is all stuffed in his hoodie with some left on his forehead. The way it is moving with the wind and going in his eyes but he doesn't mind. His just so perfect even sideways. "Whenever my parents fought I used to hide here for the whole day" his eyes still on the moon as if remembering what he was trying to forget.
"This place just has with it a force or something that keeps you calm and makes you realise why you still alive" he says. He must of tried killing himself a long time but this place saved him. I wonder what really happened to him. He doesn't look like a person with worries or even scars from the past.
"No one knows besides you now" he shrugs his shoulders.
"And why is that?" I ask him. I feel really special that I am the only one who knows his hiding spot. That means I am close to him. He sees me as a light in his life. "Because well I don't know either" he turns to look at me and our eyes lock the moment he does.
"Take those and throw them in the river. Then close your eyes and feel the wind, listen to the water flowing and also think about your happiest moment" he gives me 3 stones which I throw in the water immediately one by one.
I close my eyes and hear him whisper "Let nature takeover". Breathing in and out I allow nature to take over. The wind on my face taking away all my sorrow and worries. The water flowing washing away all my nerves and fear. I know that my body is here but my soul isn't.
