Run Away With Me

11

I was woken up by the sound of Blake moving around the room. I slowly sat up from my bed and rubbed my eyes. "Sorry. Did I wake you?" I groaned and looked around the room until I laid my eyes on Blake. "I'll take that as a yes. Well I was going through my bag and I decided that I'm gonna get rid of some clothes." "What?" I asked. "Yeah, we're going to California, I'm gonna buy a lot of other things and I don't need to have stuff that gets in the way." "But those are your clothes." I got up from bed and walked over to Blake who had clothes sprawled around the floor. "Yeah but I'm getting new clothes." I picked up a couple of his t-shirts, "Well what are you gonna do with them? Just leave them here in a mess?" I asked. "No. I'm gonna fold them and leave them here." I scoffed and rolled my eyes. "Okay, well I'm gonna get dressed and we can start heading out." I said. He gave me a thumbs up and walked to the bathroom to change.

"Okay so I have the perfect hotel in mind. We can go shopping, the beach. I know the best restaurants!" I smiled and looked at Blake who shown excitement across his face. "Listen, I don't want you spending a lot of money on me. I can pay too you know. I haven't spent any of my money that I brought. Why don't you let me pay for dinner?" I suggested. "Because what kind of boyfriend would I be if I let you pay for dinner on a date?" "Boyfriend? Date? When did we have this discussion? We haven't officially announced our relationship status and last time I checked you didn't even ask me to go on a date with you. From my calculations we are friends going out to eat. As your friend I am gonna pay for your dinner." I said. "You're funny if you think your gonna pay." He said. "Uh, I can pay for dinner." "How much do you have?" He asked. That was a good question cause I honestly didn't know how much money I had. I reached down in my purse and grabbed my wallet. Okay I see a twenty, a couple of ones, a ten. " Uh, thirty-three dollars." He laughed for a solid five minutes. "Okay what's so funny?" I asked in a shocking tone. "Thirty-three? Where do you think we're going? Olive Garden? I'm taking you to the best place in LA, thirty-three is gonna buy us an appetizer." I crossed my arms and huffed. "Well then, friend, I will buy the appetizer and you will buy the dinner." I emphasized friend". He looked at me with a frustrated looked. 

"Hey I've got a question for you." I turned to look at him and waited for his question, "Will you be my girlfriend?" "Nope." "What?! Why?!" He shockingly exclaimed. "Because you asked me in the most ridiculous way ever. Do something romantic, rent out a huge stadium and have my name in lights or something. I don't know, think of something. When I tell my friends about our relationship and they asked me how you asked me to be your girlfriend I'm not gonna say in a jeep going down the highway. Do you know how lame that is?" I asked. "Fine." "Fine?" "Fine." "What, you aren't gonna fight about it? You aren't gonna beg me or anything?" I was shocked. "Nope." "Okay." I looked out the window and allowed the smile to form across my face. 

I woke up to Blake shaking my shoulder, "Hey, we're here." I looked around and saw that we were in California. "Why are we parked in front of the Four Seasons?" "Well good morning too sunshine." "Did you run out of gas or something?" I looked over to see his dashboard. He had enough gas... "Are we staying here?" I asked. "Yeah." He said with a smile. I grabbed my purse and belongs and gave it to him. "What are you doing? Why are you giving me this?" He asked. "Sell it. Sell all of it." He looked at me as if I was crazed. "Why?" "I'm paying you back. Sell all of it and keep the money." He started laughing hysterically. "I'm not selling your stuff. You are keeping everything, we are gonna walk in the hotel and act as if we own the place. We are gonna go in our room change into the big fuzzy robes and order room service instead of going out tonight. You can order whatever you like then I'll start a warm bath, throw in a bunch of soap to make a huge bubble bath, and I'll order dessert." I just stared at him with big eyes, and he grabbed my hand, "Let's go." I smiled and grabbed my stuff and headed into to the beautiful hotel. 

"These robes are to die for! I'm taking them with me." I stated. Blake laughed as he tied the robe and walked towards me. "I sat on the bed and stared at him, "Why are you doing this?" I asked. "Doing what? I'm just standing here." "I mean this, all of this." I waved my hands around. "Why do you want me here? This place is expensive, you want me comfortable and you want me to have room service. What did I do to deserve this?" He smirked and walked slowly to me. He grabbed my hand and kneeled down, "Because you deserve all of this and so much more. I want you to be the happiest person in the world and if that means spending all this money on you to make you feel like you own the world. I don't ever want you to worry about being sad or just not happy." I smiled and put my hands against his face and brought him closer to kiss me. "I love you." I whispered to him. "I love you too." 

"Room service is ordered, your bath is ready, and once you finish we can watch a movie." He said. "Aww thank you Blake." I kissed his cheek and we walked to the bathroom. The tub was filled with bubbles and there were roses scattered across the floor. "This is the nicest thing anyone has done for me." I stated. His body pressed me from behind and he kissed my cheek. I tuned around to face him, "Okay, now get it. I'm about get in." "Awww, after all of this I still don't get to see you naked?" "Out." I practically pushed him and I locked the door. I turned back around and smiled as I let my robe fall to the floor.

I heard the knock on the front door indicating that room service was here. I slowly let the water drain and got out of the tub to dry off. "The food is here!" I heard Blake yell. "I'll be right there!" I put on my robe and walked out of the bathroom. "Ugh, it smells so good." I gushed as the delicious scent entered my nostrils. I sat at the table and look at the array of food before me. "So what do you feel like? I ordered a lot. I didn't know what you would want." He said. "Well you could've asked me." I suggested. "Yeah but it's fun to have options." He smiled. "Well I guess I try a little bit of everything." I said as I grabbed a fork. "Oh, hold on." Blake got up and headed to the TV and started playing music. When I'm With You by Ben Rector started playing. "So you must really like him now that you have been playing his music nonstop." He sat down and just winked at me. We started eating the food and oh my goodness it was amazing. "Okay, whatever this is, it's amazing!" I closed my eyes as I let the food settle on my taste buds. "It's filet mignon."  He said. "Fancy. I like it!" I said as I took another bite. 

Dinner was amazing we sat, slumped in our chairs. "I'm so full." I stated. "Me too." Blake groaned. "So, what's your favorite movie?" He asked. "Bad Moms. I love that movie so much." I said. "Really? I never pegged you for a Mila Kunis fan." "Well you pegged me wrong then." I said. "What about you're favorite TV show?" he continued. "Oh, I have a lot! I like just about anything pretty much. Well there has to be drama, a lot of drama!" "What's you dream house?" He asked. "I love talking about me." I said with a smile and we chuckled. "Okay, well I've already dreamt about living in a huge plantation style house. I want the huge columns, the beautiful porch, a lot of land for my kids to run around on. I huge kitchen so we can all sit there and be a family." I looked off into the distance as I was imagining my perfect house. "I don't think New York has that much land." He joked. "Oh darn, I've always wanted my peaceful home surrounded by the hustle and bustle of a city." "How many kids do you want?" He asked. I smiled and proudly said, "Four." "Four?" His eyes grew large. "Four." I said contently. "That's a lot." "I guess, but I want four kids." He just nodded his had and took a sip of water. "What about you? Have you ever dreamt about your house or how many kids you wanted?" I asked. "Not really." "Mhmm..." I grabbed my water and took a sip. "What, you don't believe me?" he asked. "Nope. You have to at least know about how many kids you want. And for the house at least tell me if you want a one story or two story." "I want one kid, and for my house I was thinking about that offer my dad gave me involving his job and all, so a place in New York would be the dream." I have to admit I was disappointed. We want different things in life and I was hoping that we would have at least one thing we wished to have. "Well, that's great." I said as I stared at my drink. "You okay?" He asked. "Oh, yeah I'm fine, I'm just tired. I ate too much. Why don't we lay down and watch a movie or something." I offered. "Yeah, let's do that." I made my way to the bed and laid there as he looked for a movie to watch. Once he found something he laid next to me and our night ended.
