I left my bag in Ryan's car and we walked to wherever Ryan's idea was. "So," Ryan said as we were walking.
"So what?" I laughed.
"What type of music are you into? I know you don't like PSY" I laughed again
"Well, a bit of everything to be honest. I know that's what everyone says, but if you looked on my ipod you'd find a bit of everything. I've got Justin Timberlake, Taylor Swift, Michael Jackson, Tribes, Kodaline, Panic! At The Disco, Lawson, The !975, I could go on forever. But I've got a mix." I shrugged.
"Lawson, huh?" He smiled down at me. I nodded. "What's your favourite song?"
"Oh, that's easy. You Didn't Tell me." Ryan smiled.
"I'm glad you enjoy the song about my being stood up." I felt kind of bad for him, who would stand him up? He's so lovely.
"At least you didn't get stood up tonight." I smiled at him, trying to lighten the mood. "And I bet those girls who stood you up are kicking themselves now, because they missed a great oppertunity to hang out with a great guy such as yourself." I bumped my shoulder into his, well, his arm, I wasn't quite tall enough to reach his shoulder. "Where are we going anyway?" I said changing the subject.
"You'll see. We're nearly there. Just up this hill." I groaned.
"Ugh, hills."
"Come on, Lazy." He said putting his hand out for me to hold. I took it.
"I'm not lazy, I am wearing heels. It's a girl thing, you wouldn't understand." I said in a fake rude tone.
"Do you want a piggyback?" He offered.
"YES!" I said a little bit too quickly. "I love piggybacks, I'm not going to miss this oppertunity." I said excusing my quick reaction. He laughed.
"Hop on then, your chariot awaits." He said, crowching to a more accessable level.
"Tell me if I'm too heavy or you want me to get down, okay?" I said placing my hand on his shoulders, bracing myself.
"I doubt that will be an issue." I couldn't help but smile, but he couldn't see it. I jumped and he linked his arms around my knee bend. I wrapped my arms around his neck loosely.
"I could get used to being this height." I said earning a hearty chuckle from Ryan. He started walking up this hill. Then he broke into a run. "No, stop running." I squaled slightly. He stopped running once we reached the top. Then he started spinning. I gripped onto him tighter so I wouldn't fall.
But once he'd stopped spinning, we both fell. The grass cushioned the fall which was okay. We were both rolling around the grass laughing in somewhat pain too. Once I regained my composure and we were both on our feet, I realised the view. It was overlooking London and it was beautiful. It was dark, so everything was lit up. I breathed, my breathe condensing and creating a dragon-like breathe of smoke each time I exhaled. "It's beautiful." I stated.
"I know." Ryan said, also admiring the view.
"Do you come here often?" I enquired, "I'll bet you bring all of your dates up here." I joked. He looked at me seriously.
"I do come here often, but you're the first girl I've brought up here." He held my gaze. I was slightly taken back by what he'd just said and the close proximity he had now reached. "It's a good place to think, I don't normally tell people about it."
"Why did you tell me about it?" He paused, then shrugged.
"I don't know. It was an impulse." He said honestly. I nodded. "I know I won't regret showing you it." I smiled to myself. We stood in silence for a few moments. Then we both sat on the grass. A few more moments of silence went by. The view was so breath-takingly beautiful.
