We pulled out of my neighborhood and started driving for about ten minutes when he pulled up in front of the woods. "Ummm. Why the woods?" He looked at me then put his hand in mine. "Just. Trust me, okay?" I squeezed his hand and smiled. "Okay" He smiled then turned his car off. He got out and opened the door for me. He got of one knee and put his hand out. "Madam?" he said in an awful British butler voice. I swung my head back then laughed. I put my hand out and said in an even more awful accent "why thank you." He smiled at me. "You know, you're a lot more of a dork than I imagined." I looked down at the gravel and smiled. "I know." I followed him into the woods until he reached a really thick part of the woods. "He looked back at me "get ready for the most cliché thing you've ever seen" I gave him a nervous laugh. "Okay" he pulled back some of the leaves and we walked through into a beautiful area. I saw an old tree house and little lounging chairs on the ground. There were lights hanging from the roof of the giant treehouse. Little lanterns were hanging peacefully on the trees that were surrounding the treehouse. The lights reflected off my eyes and I caught Tyler admiring me as I smiled at the sight. I quickly looked over at him "how did you find this?" "Well I found it. It was pretty beat up so I thought I'd fix it up and decorate it a bit." I looked back at the whole thing. I can tell Tyler never looked away. I like it though. It was silent for a while. I looked at him and he quickly looked away. I grinned and bit my lip. We were standing there for another 30 seconds when it started raining. He looked at me "we should probably go inside before it gets worst" I was gonna agree when it started pouring down rain. More rain than I've ever seen in my life. We looked at each other and started laughing. "Too late?" He asked . I nodded while laughing and grabbed his hand then pulled him towards the latter. I climbed up. Then him. I stood up then looked around. "Wooow.. You were right. This is pretty cliche" "oh shut up I know you love it" After he climbed up he grabbed a blanked neatly folded on a chair and handed it to me . "Thanks" He pulled up two bean bag chairs and sat in one. He motioned his head towards the one next to him. I moved towards it and slowly sat down. He leaned over and turned on a space heater he had in the corner. We started talking. And laughing. It was all perfect until his face got serious and he opened his mouth to say something. Before he could get the first word out the window flew open and we both quickly looked into the same direction. I didn't realize it was already sunset until I looked out the window. We both got up to close it and our hands touched.  He didn't move his. He just looked at me. I pulled away quickly and smiled at him. He took a step closer and looked right into my eyes.
