Forsaken

Old Nevada

'Morning beautiful.'

How could you not simply squeal at a message like that first thing in the morning?

Last night Aaron had dropped me home and like a true gentleman, he walked me to the door. So caught up in our giggling and kissing, I didn't see my neighbour watching us until Aaron mentioned the old gargoyle watching.

Okay he didn't call her a gargoyle. But I did..

She never seemed to smile and had a permanent scowl on her face as if some dog had done it's business in her flower beds.

It began getting awkward with an audience so I pecked aaron on the cheek once more before bidding him good night and slipping inside my home.

I picked up my phone and typed back 'Good Morning'

'You're awake! Fancy hanging out today?'

 I text back 'Yes'  immediately before getting up and taking a shower.

I didn't care what we did but I was excited to spend the day with him, despite his dark job, he seemed pretty happy and always smiling.

We arranged a time that he would come over and pick me up, so whilst I waited, I got myself ready and tidied up.  Thankfully I didn't have work today otherwise the excitement would be short lived and I'd be constantly clock watching over fears of being late.

Sitting in my lounge I was bouncing my leg watching the time when the door rang, I got excited and raced to the door opening it to Aaron dressed in black holding a daisy.

"Hey." He smiled shyly.

I grinned and took it getting a quick kiss as well. "And where did we pull this from?" I questioned.

He laughed and tweaked his head to Gargoyles front plant pots.

"Aaron." I whispered whilst laughing quietly.

"What? It slipped out. I helped it up..." He winked.

I went into the kitchen and put it into a glass of water before coming back to the door realising Aaron was still on the doorstep.

"You could of come in?"

"I wasn't invited and anyway.... We are going out." He smiled pulling me out as I got my bag and camera.

I closed the door and locked up before walking down the path with him and to his large car. Ghost hunting paid well for this size of this thing. God damn!

"Got ya camera?" He asked as he unlocked the car.

I lifted it up and grinned "Sure have. Where are you taking me Mr Goodwin?" I asked.

"Another favourite place of mine. Do you need a hand?" He asked opening the car door.

"I think I have got it. But you can always help me." I smiled sweetly causing him to break a smile and help me up into his car.

"Belt on. Precious cargo now." He smiled reaching over me to clip the belt in. I beamed letting him do it before putting my things by my feet and waiting for him to get into the car.

I imagined him to be a little erractic with his driving but I couldn't be more wrong as yet again he proved me that last night was not a one off thing and that he was in fact a careful driver as we drove out of Vegas.

My eyes took in as much as they could as we drove past places.

"You love it here.. Don't you?" He asked.
