double reflection (#Wattys2016)

woods

EDITED 2.6.16.

"I sincerely hope you don't mind," Luc tells me, eyes straight on the road. 

"Mind what?" I ask.

"Well were not exactly going to a fancy restaurant for this date," he tells me, briefly glancing at me.

"Hey, " I poke him, "I'm all in for McDonalds or Subway." I mentally grin, eviliy, just imagining the girl's reaction to my proposal.

Luc laughs, "No, that's way too casual. "

I sigh, adjusting in the seat, and look at him, "Okay. So where are we going?"

He places his foot on the stop pedal, and the car jerks. He turns to me, sending me a scary smile, "The woods."

Half a second later, you could imagine my reaction. And please save me the cliche response, of you thinking I would be killed by him, that I was scared. And I'll give you one thing, I was scared. Who wouldn't be?

And no I wasn't scared for the prospect that Luc may kill me, but the idea of the woods. The woods was a big piece of land, overgrown with trees of every species and even habitated multiple animals. And besides the woods near our nook of a town was the most, how do you put it? Unexpected.

Luc grabs my hand, and I don't mind but my mind is on guard. Anything and everything can happen out here, in the woods. 

Luc looked pretty calm about our location of the date, and I try to take that in my case. We had just reached a clearing when Luc spread out  a blanket. On the other hand, I was literally trying to petrify the trees.

Luc just grins, while placing a hefty baseket on the cloth and beckoning for me to come over. I did, with caution, and almost tripped on the blanket's edge, which resulted in Luc laughing like a hyena. 

"Stop it!" I pretended to scold him, thacking his shoulder and the little grassbloat (bad word to describe Luc)  just kept laughing. I continued to punch him until he pushed me over, and I got squashed. More physically than ever. 

"I-I can't breathe," I shout trying to get the buffalo off of me. The buffalo erm boy finally settled in his seat, panting from all the laughing. I huffed, the little strands of hair moving a bit, and crossed my arm pathetically. 

Luc had a amused yet worried expression on his face and something more curiouser. He  patted the spot next to him which I sighed before crawling over. Then he tossed his arm over my shoulder and pulled me to his chest, and muttered ,"I'm sorry."

And despite the fact that he laughed at me, then sat on me and was presently squishing my face into his chest, I never felt more cared for in my entire line of boyfriends. He may be stupid as hell but he sure knew how to be hella adorable.

After a few minutes of intense hugging, on my part sadly, I got off of him and made my way to my original seat. And I didn't miss the small sadmess that passed his face as I moved away. But trust my guarded lifestyle to provoke space from the guy I think I actually liked. A lot more than I should.

Luc clears his thoart before speaking, "Can you close your eyes?"

I stare at him in curiousity more than wariness, "Why?"

He looked at me with his eyes, and I partially got burned, which is why I muttered an okay, and shut my eyes faster than you can breathe.

He chuckled, the little sound making my heart beat a little faster.

A little more dangerous, I thought.

A little more happiness I think, my mind retorted.
