"So, where do you want to go?" Shawn asked as we drove away from the mall.
"You tell me," I said.
"There's not enough fuel in it, so at first, let's feed the beast," he chuckled.
"Alright and where should we go after that?" I asked.
"I don't know, umm, the mountain top?" he asked.
"Sure," I agreed.
After adding fuel in the jeep, and buying some ruffles, Arizona, cookies and candies, we were on our way to the mountain top.
After fifteen minutes of ride, through the forest with, loud music and Shawn, we reached the mountain top. Shawn stopped his jeep and we hopped out.
The view was so nice, the river downtown, the cities, the tall buildings, the lights and everything was breath taking. The crescent moon, the sky full of stars and the clouds were mesmerizing.
"Beautiful," I said, taking a deep breath.
Shawn just smiled. He sat on the grass, and opened a bag of ruffles. I sat beside him.
"Shawn?" I said.
"Yeah Mel," he said.
"How long are you gonna stay here?" I asked.
"You know the vacant land, after two more houses from yours?" he asked.
"Yeah, what about that land?" I asked.
"My dad's making a house there, we are going to shift from Texas, to here," he said.
"So, why did you come early? Why didn't come with your parents?" I asked.
"Cause, the session is staring and they won't take me if I come in the middle of the year, so I had to come early," he said.
"Oh, and when are your parents coming?" I asked.
"They'll come when the house is ready, with all the furniture and all," he said.
"And till then, you are staying with us, aren't you?" I asked.
"Yeah, I am, maybe that will take a year long," he answered.
"A year?" I asked.
"Yeah, why are you asking me this?" he asked.
"No, it's just.... Dad told me that you are here for only a month," I said.
"And you promised him that you will behave well with me, if, your mum cooks you pancakes with chocolate chips?" he giggled as if, it was something weird to ask for.
"How do you know this?" I frowned.
"You know, your dad and mum trusts me," he said and winked.
"Oh god, what else did they tell you?" I asked.
"They told that you were really pissed when, they told you that I was coming over at your place, and you were really mad," he said.
"Oh, it's just fine," I clarified.
"Look Mel, I can drive you around the town in that jeep, but please don't hate me. I won't annoy you, I promise," he said, stuffing some more ruffles into his mouth.
"I don't hate you and please, save some for me," I said.
"Save what?" he asked.
"Ruffles," I clarified.
"There are two more bags, how much do you need?" he asked.
"Fine, eat them all loser," I giggled.
