Apart

Daisy

I am looking at myself in the mirror I don't know what I should where Paul is not giving one single hint as to where we are going but I have to be prepared right? What the hell now I can't find my phone, there is a pile of clothes it can be anywhere. I borrow my sister's phone and call myself I can hear my phone but where is it? I searched the entire house but not in the pile my sister threw away the pile on the floor and there it was. I texted Paul.

Me: Where are we going?Paul: Nowhere and everywhere.Me: Don't be so snarky at least give me a hint what should I wear?Paul: Something simple.

Wow Paul something simple is such a nice clue. I don't understand why guys can't understand that for a girl it is necessary to know where they are going so we could wear something appropriate for that. What is something simple in my closet I turn around and see it's everything, but knowing Paul I don't think simply throwing a pair of jeans and tops would be sufficient but I am not in the mood for that I see a dress still hanging in my closet and it was perfect. A blue sunflower dress with little sunflower prints on it with a side cut but not too deep, I pair it with a pearl earring and a bracelet. My phone buzzes I check it out and see it is my so-called stalker at first I was terrified when he sent me that video then my photo and also the incident at Jenny's but he was not active after that plus whenever I am out of my house either I am with my sister or Paul, there is no chance he can grope me anymore. That bastard wished me a birthday, how did he know that but that is the thing about stalkers he might have stalked anything and everything about me so he'd know about my birthday but I didn't text back I have a wonderful day to look forward to.

Paul was standing in front of my building, I approached him and asked him "Where is your car?" he didn't respond to that instead he gave me a bouquet of roses. I smell those roses and smile at him, "Happy birthday kitty" he says and kisses me on the cheeks he takes my hand and starts walking "We have many places to go to start marching" he informs me "So you "Paul William" is going to roam around in a bus?" I say vexingly "Hey I can ride a bus you know" his nose twitches "Ohh..Ohhkay" my lips thin trying my best not to laugh. Just walking down the road holding his hands is giving me butterflies, it is a simple gesture but it is another way of showing our relationship to the world up till now I have only roamed with Paul in his uncountable cars but this feels nice on a different level. We stopped for a bus Paul bought the tickets but refused to show them to me he didn't want to ruin the surprise at all, he was carrying a picnic basket which meant I totally wore the appropriate dress for the day, The bus ride was long I can see we are going away from the city but where? I finally ask Paul "Is this ride ever going to end?" he chuckles at my reactions nods his head and finally he takes my hand we got off the bus. 

On the bus, I could feel someone watching me my gut feeling about these things is almost never wrong but I looked behind and no one sitting, just a few passengers in front of us. It is a very isolated area I wonder if he is here to celebrate my birthday or murder me or maybe both at the same time, "Where are we going?" I am irritated at this point "Just a few more minutes kitty" he says pulling my cheeks. We walked for a few minutes and saw a little place that had the best view I have seen until now, Paul laid down a blanket and set the basket for us he then tapped on the blanket for me to sit and I did he said. "This is such a beautiful place" I can't take my eyes off the view, there is no city drama just us in the middle of the woods, fresh country air. "I know I wanted to show this beautiful place the most beautiful girl" he tucks my hair behind my ears. "How did you know about this place" I ask him, the curiosity is getting me. "My family has a farm up the hill I accidently found this place when I was young" he too is enjoying the view but glaring at me constantly. "This is lovely" I smile with my eyes closed I can feel how peaceful this place is. Paul then took out a bunch of chopped fruits and nachos with a side dip, I instantly went for nachos I had been hungry since morning I didn't know my hunger would grow this big, I dipped my nacho in sauce and tasted it "OMG this is delicious" my eyes and mouth both expanded "You like it?" Paul asks me with his head slightly down "Like it? I love it what is this? Which store did you get this from?" I am screaming at the top of my lungs when I ask him "I made it" he says "Wait you know how to cook?" I ask him I can't believe my boyfriend Paul knows how to cook "Yes, it's a family recipe" He smiles and takes a bite of watermelon "You have to teach me" I demand him "I won't" he laughs, okay now he is really pulling me "I won't teach you because I will make it for you whenever you want, wherever you want" he is being so sweet to me I have imagined my future many time but it never had a vision of Paul cooking for me.
