Runaways [Alex Gaskarth]

First Dates

Head's up on the smut a little later in this chapter and cheers to my best friend for writing it since I literally suck so bad at writing smut! -Bones oxox

"Would you just sit still?" Cassadee laughed "I'm almost done" she added. I was sitting on my bed as she did my makeup for my first "official" date with Alex. The rain was coming down the sheets outside, it was the first real rain we'd had since I moved here and it reminded me so much of home. Well until I wen't outside where it felt like a tropical rainforest.

"There" she smiled, taking a step back and admiring her work. She moved aside to admire her work and I looked in the mirror and smiled. She'd done a good job making me look not shit.

"Can you find me some shoes?" I asked, trying my hair up into a half up half down style as Cassadee disappeared into my cupboard "oh my god!" came her voice

"What?" I yelled

"These are to die for" she replied coming out with my black, suede boots that went all the way over the knee.

"They also go with my outfit" I grinned as she handed them to me, Alex would be here any second. I was nervous, like actually properly nervous. I'd known Alex 5 months now and we'd been dating for nearly a month and I was nervous? What the fuck, Taylor? The front door buzzed and I ran over to answer it.

"Yello?" I said into the mouthpiece

"Your chariot has arrived" Alex's voice crackled through the machine.

"Down in a minute" I smiled, I walked over and Cassadee handed me my purse, a smile on her face. She followed me down to the front door, Alex was standing outside with an umbrella in one hand, his other in his pocket, leaning against the door of his car.

"You two crazy kids have fun" Cassadee grinned to me before heading over to her car.

"Well hello there" Alex smiled as I stepped under the umbrella, using his free hand to pull me into his chest, leaning down to gently press his lips to mine.

"So where are we going?" I asked as he opened the door for me and climbed into the driver's seat.

"Well, the rain put a damper on my original plan but I have a backup" he smiled

"Do I get to know what it is?" I asked and he tapped the side of his nose. I rolled my eyes and looked out the window, Alex was taking the motorway out of Nashville and I frowned as he took a right past Kingston Springs and up a small route up to Salt Water Ridge, it was the hill right outside Nashville.

"Where are we going?" I asked, he shushed me and I stuck my tongue out as he kept driving. It was pretty much the middle of no where and I pushed images of him actually being a phycopath and taking me here to murder me out of my head. He took a sharp left, making my forehead smack into the window.

"Fuck" I cursed, rubbing my forehead. Alex laughed and I turned and gave him a death glare as he stopped the car.

"Sorry" he smiled, leaning over and kissing where my forehead hit the window. I smiled and looked out the window, we were in a small carpark outside of a mountain trail.

"Are we here?" I asked, frowning. Alex grabbed a bag of the backseat that looked pretty heavy.

"Not quite" he said, climbing out of the car. I grabbed the umbrella and my purse and followed him. I stepped out into the night air, it had got relatively cool as we had gone uphill. Alex took a torch out of his bag and pushed one into my hand, illuminating the path in front of us that lead further up the hill and into the Salt Water forest. He took my hand as I opened the umbrella and lead me up the path.
