"Wow," I say under my breath. I can't resists the beauty that surrounds us, I step out the car and look around me. People watching as their children play in the beautiful fall leaves, ducks in the pond, green-yellow grass, the different colored leaves falling around us, and the setting sun. "Like it?" Brett says behind me. I turn to him and our eyes immediately lock. "This is amazing. Thank you," I say as I make my way to hug him. "You're always welcome." He says. "Now come," he says as he takes my hand.

Brett and I stand near a small pond in the woods. We are all alone and I am trembling. The evening breeze is starting to kick in. "Cold?" Brett says, wrapping his arms around me. He kisses the corner of my mouth. I lay my head on his chest and close my eyes. We stand like this for I don't know how long. He kisses the top of my head and I look up at him. "So about your question." He says looking down at me. What question? I am too cold to even think. "Justin, I think you are just the nicest guy I have ever met and I want you to know something." He swallows and looks out into the pond. What is he about to ask? Ask me out? Kill me and throw me into the pond? If we can just be friends? No! I can't think negative. My heart starts to beat and I think I'm going to faint. "Justin Clark, will you be my boyfriend?" He says looking down at me, waiting for an answer. My heart sinks and I am temporarily paralyzed. It really wasn't that long ago when I ran into him and now he's asking me out? What can I say? Many memories come to mind. When I ran into him, the interview, when he invited me out for a drink, our first love making, the jacuzzi. I am speechless! I just don't know what to say. This is all too soon. A tear rolls down my cheek. "Oh no, you can always say no." Brett says wiping away the tear with his thumb and index finger. I stare out into the pond and I see two beautiful ducks swimming together. Should I give him a chance? After everything he's done for me? The manger dating an employee? Is this even right? I am so lost. "Justin, are you alright?" Brett says stroking my face. Brett is the man I want. "Of coarse I will be your boyfriend," I say with a smile. Brett presses his lips to mine and soon we are kissing passionately under the setting sun. It is now official, Brett is mine.
