He took my hand and led me outside, he called for a cab not telling me where I was going.

"Richmond Lake please!" He directed the driver as we both shuffled in the cab. I wasn't sure what this was; San Diego was a whole new universe to me and LA, was a mystery too, I just hope he can look after me! Again the taxi didn't take long arriving at our destination, The driver was driving down roads leading into a family forest area, I could only assume. This reminded me of a place back home in England, a place called Hamstely Forrest driving up to this place. Me, Amelia and my Dad used to go down there when Mam was at work most Sunday's. We used to go there strictly to play in the playground which was made of wood and metal. We dragged out Dad to play and was probably one of my most treasured memories. I smiled out the window reminiscing of the days. 

Hearing a frantic laughter a snap out of daydream.

"What?" I smiled looking at him laughing. Wondering what I had been doing. 

"You!" He said, then imitating what I was doing. He smiled widely and put his hand to his face, being all feminine. I narrow my eye brows at him, smiling at the same time. 

"Stop it" I insist. "Where are we Jaime?" I say looking at the outside scenery, feeling a little confused. 

"Shh, it's a secret. You told me something last night and I thought it would be funny to bring you here." 

The car stops parking in what seems to be near the beach, but a little higher up so the trees could grow. I got out the car leaving Jaime to pay, as i'm such a lady. I didn't think about the money as I was too busy think of my childhood. Maybe that's what I told him last night. 

"Let's goooo!" He says, grabbing my hand once more. He pulled me up a right hand path, that I hadn't noticed and we walked up a path that grew a little steeper. When we hit flat land, I saw the evenly cut grass, not too green the natural grass not the artificial, but the right kind of grass. You could see the mud patches and a stream/river that flew on the left hand side. "I took a short cut!" He fills me in. When we walked along the path he let go of my hand. "Let's count shoulders shall we? 1, 2" He says then resting his arm on my shoulder, pulling me in closer. I laughed at the cheesiness of the joke and wrapped my arm, he let free, around his waist. 

When we wern't so deep into the woods we found a nice patch of grass where the sun beamed perfectly off of it. It seemed like the center piece of the walk he had just taken me on. A big rounded river where, swans and smalls birds swan freely. I smiled at the view of the scenery. Jaime walks over and sits down on the grass near the river. He flops his body and I do the same. 

"I wish I had bought a picnic blanket or something" He tells me his inner thoughts. I rest my head on his shoulder confidently, I felt as though I knew him. I knew when Emmy always told me her husband, she just knew him from the first dates. She then knew he was the one. I never believed her or understood her when she said this, not I can sort of relate. 

I swan leaped out of the water in front of us, I jumped out of my skind and bounced up and ran a couple of meters away. I could see Jaime laughing.

"Last night you said you were afraid of swans" I give him a look to say, really?

"You brought me here for this?" I said elongating my arm at the swan that just scared me. He starts laughing again and draws the attention of the swan. The swan comes a little closer to me and Jaime jumps up and runs away as well. I start laughing at him and pointing at his movements. I was having a really good time. Even if this is a really random date.
