Lay, My One and Only

Chapter 20: Surprise

Yixing exited the freeway and entered an abandoned park. It was beautiful, and isolated. There were no people in this gorgeous, giant park. It even had a river and a bridge. Yixing parked the car.

" How do you know all these places?" I asked as I got out of the car. Yixing smiled. While I was getting out of the car, Yixing ran to the trunk then closed it before I was even out of the car. It wasn't like he was even getting anything. He was just...checking on it. We walked together in the lamp-litten scenery and sat down at the bench. It was near the middle of the park.

" Wow. This is beautiful," I said. He smiled and nodded as I looked around. All he did was look at me.

" I love this place. It really calms me down. It's definitely another one of the city's hidden beauties. As I was amazed by the scenery, Yixing scooted closer to me and put his arm around me. I rested my head on his chest: just like at the movies. This HAD to be one of the best days I've ever had...IN MY LIFE. Yixing rested his head on mine. He pecked the top of my head several times and it felt good. I smiled and he noticed.

" You like that?" he asked. He was teasing. I blushed and pushed away. He laughed. " I like that. I like kissing you."

He hugged my shoulder and we sat like that for a few minutes. Then it got a little boring and Yixing realized.

" How about we go take a walk?" he asked me, as he sat up. He handed me his hand but I didn't take it and sat up.

" Yixing...I can sit up by myself! It's alright!" I said. I stood up next to him. He laughed.

" But you're my baby..." he said. I looked at him and smiled and he half-smiled. We held hands and walked. I was already freezing.

" Karrera! You're so cold! You're fingers are freezing! Here...take my jacket..." he said, taking off his leather jacket.

" No! No! I'm fine...I really don't need..." I said but he stopped me.

" Yes...you do..." he said. He put his jacket on me and it was big on me. It's probably because I'm slightly shorter than him...but I'm also skinny as a stick. I smiled and it was so warm. It smelled like his cologne.

" Thanks..." I said. " But you'll be cold!"

" Nah. I'm really warm," he said. He held my hand and we walked over to the bridge and we talked. It was really calming here, and we didn't talk like we were dating...we talked like we were best friends. I liked it.

We reached the bridge and we stopped there. We both rested our arms on the arms of the bridge, looking out at the sparkling water with the Koi fish swimming in. I AGAIN dozed off. This was seriously becoming a habit.I didn't look at Yixing. I just watched the fish. Then I felt Yixing moving my hair to my right side of my neck. He rested his head on my left shoulder. It felt great feeling his hot breath against my cold neck. Then, I felt something really cold wrap around my neck. It felt like metal. Then...I realized.

No...no. This CAN'T be. He couldn't have got me...

He wrapped it around and I saw the elegant necklace he just put on me. It was a silver necklace with a gorgeous diamond on it. I was speechless.

" Yixing...I...thank...what? I...Yixing..." I said. Yixing chuckled and I smiled. I was speechless. These necklaces are the REALLY expensive kind. They're imported from America and the cheapest ones can cost more than $2,000. And this necklace was one of the best. I held the necklace diamond in my palm. " Yixing...I can't..."

He held my hand.

" Yes...you can Karrera. But just promise me one thing," he said. I looked deeply into his eyes and nodded. " Promise me that as long as you're with me...you'll never take this off..."

I smiled.

" Of course I won't..." I said. God. Really. I'm wearing Yixing's jacket. He just gave me a necklace. And I'm in shock.

He rested his head back on my shoulder and held my waist. He just stayed like that for a few minutes. He closed his eyes.

" Y...you smell so good..." he said. I laughed and blushed. He walked up to my left side and he turned my chin up to his face. We were centimeters away from each other's faces.

He stared at me, and he quickly went in for a kiss. He closed his eyes and I followed. This time, the kiss was passionate. The feeling of his tongue really made me crazy. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he pulled me closer to him. He was a REALLY good kisser. Then he pulled away and began to speak.

" You know...Karrera...you're really different. I've had a few girlfriends and I thought of them as a doll. You know, buy them a few things, hug them, and just have the title of girlfriend. But with you...it's so different. I feel like I can conquer the world with you. You make me feel warm inside. You make me a better person. You make me feel...love. And...being with you makes me feel spoiled. I feel spoiled because I have everything with you..." he said. I was going to tear up. How can someone be so sentimental and sweet? " And I would do everything with you...just to keep you. I would kill myself to know that you'd be safe and happy. I just...I just can't explain how much I love you...and that's why all of this is turning out cheesy. And know that I'll do anything...ANYTHING...just to keep you happy. And...I mean all of this."

OK. The tears started to fall. I hugged him so tight. He looked at me and gave a relieved smile and wiped away my tears.

" Yixing...I...I..." I said. I was stuttering and he knew that I stuttered when I got really emotional or surprised. He stopped me.

" Just tell me one thing..."

I nodded.

" Tell me that this all means the same to you. Tell me that you love me," he said. The tears fell down again.

" I'd die for you Yixing! I love you so much! You're the only one in this world that can give me this much love!" I said. A tear fell down too. He wiped it away but I laughed. He then didn't mind and we were both tearing up and hugging each other like it was the end of the world.

We drove back to my home. We pulled over to my driveway. It was already about 10.

" Thank you Yixing..." I said. He smiled and moved a hair out of my face. " Do...do you wanna come in?"

" Nah. It's alright. We'll talk later. Now you go get your rest and call me first thing you wake up," he said. He pecked me on my forehead as he walked back into his car. Then he jumped up. " Oh! I almost forgot! Your belongings..."

He opened the trunk and handed me my items. I waved and watched him leave.

I went to bed...hugging my pillow and firmly gripping my necklace. I was dreaming of him. I kept my window open because of the fresh air. It really soothed me. I fell asleep, peacefully for the first time in several days.

But of course that couldn't last. I was awaken at around 2 am. It was dark and I heard a creak coming from my window. I was probably imagining it. I closed my eyes again but I could feel something. I opened my eyes...and 2 masked figures came up to me...and trapped me in a bag before I could even react. Oh god. No. I was being kidnapped.

" HELP!!!!! HELP!!!!! LET ME GO!!!!!!!" I exclaimed. I tried to break free but nothing. It was a very strong and sturdy bag. They ran me across somewhere and threw me into...I'm guessing the trunk of a car. I heard a BOOM and they started driving away. I was already beginning to suffocate and I was getting nauceous from all that car movement.

Was this going to be the end of me? What were they going to do?

God, I wish Yixing was here...
