Love and motorcycle

The park

Opal's POV

I didn't know if I should have accept his invitation.
I mean... We met a day ago. I don't know him and he doesn't even know me... And now here I was in his car, driving I don't know where for now 15 minutes... And this is the part where he is gonna go to a place where no one can find us, and drug me and...and... OMG why did I agree to this. I can't believe Ava agreed and let me go like that. I could feel my palm starting to get all sweaty. I got a grip of my backpack, holding it tight and staring outside the window, trying to hide how nervous I was; when I saw him pull up in front of a beautiful Central Park, that I've never seen in my life. I was so amaze by the view that I forgot everything about my nervousness.

When the car finally stopped, I got out of it still looking at the view.
-This is beautiful I thought to myself...
-Yes it is
I look to his direction now realizing that I said that at loud.
-How did you find this place? I ask interested
-I use to come here with my mom all the time when I was a kid. People don't come here often actually... I think that's why I like it the most. It's calm... Really peaceful.
Somehow I could understand what he meant... Not only the view was amazing but the peace that you could feel around you... It was incredible.
-Come... He said waving at me. I'll show you around.
I walk toward him and started to follow.
- Everytime I come here, it's to remind me of my childhood... You see that lake right there.
I nodded, starring at the big lake ahead of us.
-My mom use to let me play and swim in the water even if there was a sign that says not to...
I couldn't help but smile at what he was telling me, but I felt uncomfortable because I didn't understand why would he tell all his personal things to someone that he barely know.

-Why are you telling me all this ? I suddenly ask.
-I don't know... I guess it comes easily with you.
What comes easily with me? I thought.
-I want you too feel comfortable, I can see that you're afraid of me.
I was not.
-I am not. Why would I be?
-You tell me... If you want me to drive you home... I can
-No... I found myself say immediately. I really like it here.
And I also didn't feel like going home right now. It somehow made me forget some of my problems, made me forget about Seth.
We were still walking around the place... When he stopped in front of a tree.
-And this is where I climb my first tree. He said with a tone, showing how much he was proud of himself and miss those moments.
-That big thing right there? I said surprised, starring at it.
I mean... If you have seen it... You would have understood why I was shocked.
-Haven't you climb one before?
-Sure... When I was 8; it was a tree house, made by my dad for my brothers and I .
-Ever since you never climb one?
-Never.
He gave me playfully look.
-Well today you are going to.
-No I'm not. I said confused
-Yes you are he said with a smirk
-And why is that? I ask suspiciously
-Because there's always some crazy dogs that come around here. Actually... This is the reason why I climb this big ass tree in the first place. He said winking at me.

I look at him, trying to discover if he was playing me or not.
- You're joking. I said nervously but trying not to take it seriously.
-Okay... Well if you don't want to I'll just have to leave you there. But I'm not gonna stay there for them to bite me. He said starting to climb the thing.
-Why can't we just go to your car?
-Because they'll run after us but... If we climb the tree... I promise they won't be able to catch us up here; plus there's a nice view up there. He said with that stupid smirk across his face.

Joking or not, I couldn't take the risk. So I did... I climb the big ass tree.
