Chapter 26 - Date night

Chapter 26

Clary's P.O.V.

"Can I take this off now?"

"Just a few more minutes."

"Ugh."

When we had finished shopping, after Lou bought me new shorts, we had headed home to get ready for our date. He just told me to get ready for a night outside, so I wore the new shorts, a cute purple tank and my favourite grey sweater. As soon as we got into the limo that Lou had rented for us, which I thought was cute, he put a blindfold on me. I argued so much that I thought that I would break him, but he didn't budge, he didn't want me to see where we were going until we get there. I hate being blindfolded, I always feel like someone is going to do something bad to me.

As I felt the limo slow to a crawl then to a stop, Lou stepped out and helped me out of the limo. We walked for a little while until my feet were getting sore when he suddenly stopped.

"Ok... Open in 3... 2... 1!"

I tore off the blindfold and was star struck. We were on a hill, possibly a mountain, on the outskirts of London. We were facing London and it was getting dark so the town was starting to be illuminated by the city lights and the sky was turning pink. We were in a tiny clearing and in the middle was a checkerboard picnic blanket and picnic basket.

"Wha.. How did you find this place?"

"I use to go hiking here sometimes when my family visited from Doncaster. I was finding a place for us to rest when I found this place. Only me and my family know about this place, you like it?" He was standing nervously behind me.

I turned and ran into his arms, wrapping my arms around his neck. "It's perfect."

"Good." He hugged me back and led me to the blanket.

"I hope you like BLT's, that's all I could think of to make. Plus I brought coke." He pulled out 2 plastic wrapped sandwiches and 2 red cans of pop.

"It's good enough," I joked.

We ate in silence, a nice, comfortable silence. I didn't want to talk for I was so mesmerized by the way the was looking every minute it got closer to night time.

As I finished my sandwich and coke I laid down on the blanket. Lou slide over and wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me so I was laying half on his chest.

"This is nice, how long are we staying?"

"I was thinking we could stay here over night and sleep under the stars. I mean we don't HAVE to but I brought an extra blanket in case you get cold."

Sleeping under the stars? "Sure." I tilted my head and looked up at his chin. "That sounds great."

He leaned over so he could look me in the eye. "Good and I know something else that sounds great."

"What?" 

"This.." He slowly moved his face closer to mine, giving me time to say no if I wanted.

I didn't, I cupped his face with my hand and pulled him closer, locking our lips together.
