The forestry walk.
We were both given a map. I handed it straight to Joshua because me and directions just don't go good together. I was in charge of the compass though, so I still felt like I was important instead of just following Joshua and letting him do everything.
' ok so this way is east and that way is west.' I said pointing in all directions.
Joshua didn't look at my pointing, instead he just looked straight ahead, probably not trusting me.
' so.. How long have you known this Jimmy?' he asks.
I knew it was coming, it was only a matter of time.
' since I was five. He's like a brother to me.' I said simply.
Joshua snickered, ' so that's what you say.' he muttered under his breath.
I pushed him by the shoulder. ' would you stop? God! Now YOU are the one who is acting jealous!' I said rolling my eyes.
Joshua stopped abruptly in his tracks. ' I'm not jealous!' he shrieked.
I chuckled, ' well you sure do know how to act like one.' I taunted.
' I do not!' he scolded.
' oh yes you dooo!' I nagged playfully.
' I'm going to get you for that.' he warned.
' oh I'm so scared! ' I urged.
I started running as fast as I could then, dodging trees, and logs on the ground as I ran.
' you think your so scary! Well guess what Joshua! You don't scare meeee!' I shouted teasingly as I ran.
I turned around to see where he was. He was right behind me grinning.
I turned around and was about to quicken my pace only a log that I didn't see tripped me over and now I was sent crashing down on the ground. All the leaves and grass were wet as it was raining today, but it felt refreshing against my skin.
Then, Joshua tripped over me and that sent him crashing down to the ground beside me. I laughed loud and took my camera out to take the picture of him and all the leaves in his hair.
Then I lay back, still laughing to look up at the sky. He was laughing to and rolling around on the ground like a dog.
I laughed again at that and then closed my eyes. I felt so relaxed here. The cool breeze sweeping down onto my face and the trees whistling in against the wind and the birds chirping together singing a song. It would be easy falling asleep in this.
I felt warm wind at my cheek and my eyes immediately fluttered open.
Joshua was leaning in, inches from my face. I felt paralysed. I couldn't move. And I don't think I wanted to either.
His eyes fixated on my lips. I closed my eyes again and waited for his lips to meet mine. Only they didn't. Instead I felt his cool breath against my lips just like last time in his room.
' I am not jealous.' he breathes onto my lips. I open my eyes immediately and see that he is standing up. So quick. Stupid vampire and his stupid super strength. I got up, embarrassed, and started brushing of the leaves of my clothes.
' you ready to go now? According to the map, we should be close to a bridge.' He said engrossed by his map.
Bridge. He said bridge. Awh no! please make it be a small bridge, please!
I followed him as he started walking. We were walking for ages and my legs began to feel numb but I didn't complain.
All I could think about was this bridge. And what happened last time.
