Aden's POV

Nick told me Heddy's going to pick me up and take me to meet him, he also told me to wear boots and a coat. So I did, I put on my coat, boots, and a beanie.

"Where are you headed so early son?" Dad asks from the kitchen. It's about 10am and its Saturday so dads off work and I don't have school which usually means I'm asleep till noon.

"Out with Heddy."

"Alright as long as that brother of hers isn't involved." He can be so protective at times.

"Nah dad, it's just me and Heddy."

"Ok then have a good time."

"Bye dad love ya" I say closing the door as I hear him reply with similar words.

I stroll up to Heddy's car in the drive way and get in. "Hello sir I will be your limo driver today." She jokes.

"Hey Heddy... You have any idea what your brother has planned?"

"I do but I'm obligated to keep it a secret. Sisterly code." I snort at that answer.

We made small talk till I got to the location. "Ok your ride is over now get the hell out my car."

I swear this girl...

Then it dawned on me, I promised to spend the whole day alone with Nick. The feelings I felt at that realization where ranging from nausea to excitement to just plain fear of being left alone in some strange place again. Like what the hell is wrong with me to give him a second chance? But at the same time a bigger part of me wants to ignore reason and logic.

I get out of the car to be immediately greeted by Nick. "Hey"

"Hi" God why is this always so awkward?

"Bro I'm leaving." Heddy says breaking through the tension. 'Please don't leave me with him!' I think as I hear her car speed off.

"So where are we?" I ask.

"Randview National Park" he says.

"Oh... Ok what are we doing here?" I ask.

"Have you ever been hiking?"

"Does Central Park count?"

He laughs, his deep voice with a hint of rasp hits my ears, damn that laugh was hot. Wait, HOT?!

"So we better head out if we are going to make it by lunch."

"Make what by lunch?"

"That's a surprise."

So we start walking, I following the sound of his foot steps and using my cane so I don't run into anything. We leave the asphalt of the parking lot and onto a trail that runs through the park. His footsteps stop, all of a sudden he's coming towards me. He grabs my hand and entwining his in mine. I feel my face heat up but I don't say anything to him nor pull away from his touch. He doesn't speak either but instead he starts to walk again, my hand still connected with his.

"So you're not going to kill me and dump me in the woods, are you?"

"Nah I think I'll save that for the third date." He says in a jokeish tone. But all that was in my head was the word 'date'. Is this a date? If so then it's my first date ever. The heat in my cheeks got worse at the thought.
