Intertwined

Chapter 11

          I followed behind him at top speed, dodging obstacles on the darkened sidewalk. I put my iphone in the basket of my retro bike and turned on the flashlight for a headlight. "Keep up, Roxy!" I smiled as I passed him and yelled, "Why don't you?" We raed all the way to a little patch of leaves in the middle of a forest preserve.I could hear running water in the distance. "Leave your bike here." "Whata, are you crazy?" I yell-whispered. "What if someeone steals our bikes?" " At this hour, I doubt anyone would be out here. Now come here. Trust me when I say this is gonna be a good suprise." He placed his hands over my eyes and led me through what seemed like a series of trees, and we stopped where the sounds of running water were loud, but calm. When he took his hands off my eyes, I looked around and gasped. "This is beautiful! How did you know I loved stars?" I looked up into the clear sky in awe. "I figured if you were anything like me, you would want to see this." I smiled up at the sky and sat on a blanket by Natt. He put his arm around my shoulders and pointed out the constellations. "And there's-" "Virgo!" I cut him off. "How'd you know?" "That's my favorite- my zodiac. Right next to- " "Orion!" we both said at once. We laughed and looked at each other. "I've had a really great time Natt, but it's getting really late. Maybe we can meet here at like 12?" "Yeah 12 is fine." I held his hand all the way back to the bikes. "Bye, Natt."
