The Bad Boy I Once Knew | G. D.

Chapter 28

Adriana's POV

"Come on Adriana," Ethan led on. "Can you please come out for lunch with me?" It was now finally Valentine's Day, and Ethan was begging me to go out with him for lunch. I had a feeling it was like a date or something, but it can't be cause I'm with Grayson, and plus Ethan probably doesn't mean it as that.

Grayson still couldn't persuade his boss, that he's working on the movie for, to let him come down to LA. So I was gunna end up spending this Valentine's Day alone like I always did every year. But it was until Ethan had just started calling me, and he said he wanted to go out somewhere with me so we both weren't alone today. I guess I could go, cause Julia went out with Nate today for Valentine's Day. "I guess so," I told him.

"Great!" I heard him say on the other line. "I'll pick you up in a half hour."

"A half hour?" I exclaimed. I could not get ready in that small amount of time with me looking like a big hot mess. "Fine, 20 minutes," he replied.

"Ethan!" I said raising my voice a bit, but I ended up letting out a few laughs. I heard him laughing on the other line.

"Just take your time. I'll be over soon," he said dialing down his laughs. I let out a small giggle before agreeing and ending the call. I then decided on getting ready, and I went into my room picking out an outfit. I changed into white shorts, with a pink v-neck shirt, and matched with my black converse. I then fixed up my hair in its curly and wavy style leaving it down, and I just put on eyeshadow and mascara for makeup. As I was finishing up, I heard a knock coming from the door. I then grabbed my phone off the charger, and I sprayed some perfume on myself before heading for the door. I soon opened it, which revealed Ethan. "Did I give you enough time to get ready?" he asked with a chuckle. I giggled to myself, and replied, "Yep, you came just in time."

"Good," he smiled. "And you look great." I smiled, and thanked him before heading out. We then walked outside of the apartment building, and headed to his car parked outside. I got in the front passengers seat, while he got in the drivers side. He then started driving off, and I asked, "So what restaurant are you taking me at?"

"About that, it's technically not a restaurant where we're going," he said pointing to the back seat. I turned around to seeing a blanket and a picnic basket. "Oh," I said. "So let me guess, we're going to have a picnic at the beach?"

"You and all your guessing," he groaned, and I laughed cause I keep teasing him. "But it's not there either. It's somewhere else."

"Can you at least tell me where else it is?" I asked a bit desperately.

"It's a surprise," he smirked. I groaned since I hate surprises. But hopefully it'll be somewhere else good. Ethan was saying its a pretty long ride, so we have a bunch of time to drive. The ride wasn't so bad since Ethan and I talked about random things, and also the radio was playing some Drake.

The ride was probably about a little more than 30 minutes, and the scenery of where we were going had changed. From the city of LA, it looks like Ethan drove more into the country. There were a lot of fields and farms nearby, and it actually looked really pretty. "It looks like we're here," Ethan said as he pulled into a dirt side of the road parking his car. Right in front of us was a field of flowers and trees. It honesty looked beautiful. Ethan and I got out grabbing the stuff, and we started walking down the path in between the field of flowers.

We started walking until we met a huge tree, and we decided on sitting here since the tree blocks the sun. I set the blanket down for us, and we both sat down with the picnic basket in front of us. I then looked out to the field, and as I said again, it looks so pretty with all the flowers. "It's so nice down here," I said. "How do you know this place down here?"
