Who Knew

Forbidden Entry

The car slowly decelerated and came to a stop. He came out of the car and opened the door for me, leading me out. What a gentleman. I didn't know guys like that still exist. I thought most of them have gone extinct. Anyways, he walked me to my door while helping me carry the gigantic teddy bear. He waited for me to unlock the door before going in and placed the bear sitting on the couch. 

I thanked him and before leaving he said,"Be ready in 7. I'll be bringing you somewhere extraordinary. See you later." Waving me goodbye, he went across the street and into his house. Everything that happened so far felt like a dream. Unbelievable. I should probably go take a shower and......OH AMBER! Right. Where's my phone? Dammit. It's with Tyler. Oh yes I could explain things to her through the laptop! I went upstairs and made myself comfortable on the bed while the laptop's starting up. She's online! Just the right timing.

'Hey Amber. You free now?' Before I could send anything else, an incoming Skype call came from Amber. I clicked 'answer'. And Amber started attacking me with questions that were starting to overwhelm me.

"Amber. AMBER. AMBER!" She finally quiet down and were all ears on me.

"Sorry Winnie. I was just worried about you. I'm listening now." I heaved a sigh and proceeded to tell her.

"Winnie! I'm really happy for you! You've found the right one. I wonder where he'll bring you to later on. It'll be your second date!"

"He didn't say it was a date though......"

"I know, he knows, you know it's obviously a date. I mean which person especially a guy would ask you out at night? He surely must've felt something for you to ask you out!"

"I don't know Amber......what if it's just my own wishful thinking? I think he just sees me as a friend. Being nice to me and all."

"Don't think too much okay? I'm sure he'll like you. Who doesn't? You're smart, pretty and just beyond perfection Winnie! You just don't know it yourself. If someone like Tyler and I have seen it, why can't you? Stop doubting yourself Winnie. Now I'll end this call while you go and prepare yourself for tonight. And remember to tell me what happened!"

"Thank you Amber. What would I do without you? You're......"

"Stop! I don't wanna hear any mushy stuffs or I might tear up just listening." I burst into laughter and said,"Alright then. Byeee."

"BYEEE." Call ended. I'm grateful to have her to hear me out. It's easy to be surrounded by people whom you call as friends but it's hard to find one that would stay and stand by you. Oh right. I should really go shower now. All nice and clean. 

Hmmm......what should I wear later? Comfy big shirt or a romper? What's this? Oh I forgot to return Tyler's shirt! And I haven't even wash it. Gonna throw this in the washing and it should be dry when he comes. 

Okay back to choosing. Which one......? A tribal printed romper and black chelsea boots it is then. Now what should I do in the meantime? Watch TV? Or nap? I'm just gonna watch a movie since I'm afraid I won't be able to wake up in time. 'Me Before You', even though I've watched it like a million times. The movie was so good and not forgetting Emillia Clarke's eyebrows. She's pretty but if she was starred in a new movie, I'm sure her brows could do the talking and acting instead.

Tear wipe sob and repeat. I'm sure everyone has been through this process when watching touching movies. If you don't, maybe you're secretly not human. Now time to get ready......finish off with some lip balm and done. It's almost 7. I wonder if he's here already? Breathe in and out Winnie. Why are you so anxious? It's not like the first time you're seeing him. Just as I was lost in my thoughts,"Ding dong!" Ooooo on time and not late. I went to the door and unlocked it. 

"Hey beautiful." Tyler was wearing a white fitting shirt with an army green bomber jacket worn over him. He had black ripped jeans for the bottom and black Timberland boots. Did he styled his hair too? It was backcombed unlike his usual. He called me 'beautiful' but in actual fact he was the beautiful masterpiece standing in front of me. He stood there awkwardly, rubbing his hand on his neck while giving me a bashful smile.

"You sure you wanna wear this out? You'll feel cold later on......" I don't know what came to me but I decided to be an almighty superwoman and said "Yeah I'm gonna wear this out. Let's go."

"If you say so......" He went over to his vehicle and started the engine. I stood frozen in my tracks after seeing what it was.

"Aren't we travelling by the car?"

"Nope. My friend came to collect it and I had to borrow this instead. Here you go." He threw me a helmet before casually swinging one of his legs over the motorcycle to get on. He then signaled me to get on as well. It's my first time getting a ride on a motorcycle so of course there would be some hesitations and nervousness in my tummy. I put the helmet over my head and buckled it before hopping on. 

"Here's the chance for you to do a back hug on me." Even without turning his head around, I could sense that he was smirking. 

"Hang on tight Winnie. I would rather you to fall for me than to fall off. I'm going now!"

"I WOULD RATHER FALL THAN TO FALL FOR Y-OU-U......!!" The motorcycle started accelerating. I clasped on firmly to my seat with my life on the other end in the stake of danger. It then came to an abrupt stop which caused me to fly forward, smacking right onto his broad back. 

"Did you say something?" I slapped his back.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR! YOU'RE SUCH AN IDIOOO......AHHHHH!" Before I could finish my words, the motorcycle started moving again.

"FULL SPEED AHEAD!" I'm gonna fall off soon if this continues. To save myself, I had to do it. I wrapped my arms tightly around his waist and squeezed it till he felt pain.

"Ouch! You're hurting my stomach!" He slows down the motorcycle a little and I loosened my grip. Subconsciously, I rested my head against his back throughout the ride. I could feel the warmth from his comfy back and he sure smells good. Brrr. The cold air brushed past my skin which made me shivered a bit. There were goosebumps starting to form on my arms and my thighs are going numb from the coldness. Why didn't I decide to wear warmer clothing? 

I hope we're reaching soon or else I'm gonna be the first person that froze to death while travelling on a motorcycle. What a headline for the newspapers. Where is he bringing me to anyways? I looked around the surroundings and saw trees. Lots of them. Is he bringing me to a forest? Why is the place so deserted looking...... 

Don't tell me he's gonna commit a murder here. And the victim would be none other than me. I don't wanna die in his hands. I'm still considered quite young to die just yet. Quit with your wild assumptions Winnie. It's too ridiculous for someone to even believe. True. But can I at least have an idea where we're heading to?

"We've arrived. I'll be leaving this here cause we'll need to walk in by foot."

"Why did you bring us to the forest?"

"You'll find out in a bit. Come on follow me."

'PLEASE DO NOT ENTER. NO ENTRY'

"I don't think we're suppose to walk into that area." 

"Do you trust me?" 

"Well yeah? I guess so......" 

"Then, hold onto my hand. I'll lead the way." He held out his hand and I took it. And we went in together.
