*Alex's POV*
"So where are you taking me?" I spoke through the anxiety that's taken over me for the last couple of minutes.
It's not everyday that i get to go on a date with Ethan.
It's not everyday that he just comes into my house and puts a blindfold on me, without even letting me dress properly for the occasion.
He keeps telling me i'm beautiful no matter what. Its enough. Actually, it's more than enough. It's perfect, just like the restless, unsteady rhythm of my pulse that's only getting louder every passing second.
"Be patient, we're almost there" Ethan's soothing voice reminded me. Although i can't see him, i can feel a perfect grin forming on his face.
"I wanna see you. Can't i take this thing off already?"
"Nope"
"That's unfair! You get to see me!" I pouted
"Too bad" his voice came out husky before it broke into giggles.
It's either Ethan that does hot things unconsiously all the time lately, or me just noticing them even more now.
"Since when did e-tee-wee-tee become so dominant?" I chuckled teasingly before taking off my blindfold.
"Oh my gosh Alex" he broke into laughter "i should've seen this coming"
My eyes darted to the window. We can't be far away...we're still at our neighborhood. What's going on?
"Is this where we were heading to half an hour now? Next to your house?"
"I didn't want to give the place away. You can get off the car now"
What? What was taking so long for us to end up where we started?
"Did you really drive around so i wouldn't get that we're 10 minutes away from your house?" I said taking the hand he offered me before getting out of the car.
"Well kinda" he scratched the back of his head and i couldn't help but smile widely "you still don't know where we're going though, do you?"
After 10 minutes of walking, we got to the playground we used to play when we were little and still visit sometimes. It's still a nice place to think and get your mind off things.
"Eth we're at the playground" i let go of our intertwined hands and looked into his eyes when a grin was shaped on his lips. Playground it is then.
"Exactly" he pulled a strand of hair behind my ear. "I figured that's the best place for our first date. You see, it was my dream date with you when i was 13. Just chilling, eating ice cream and maybe kiss a little."
He whispered in my ear, and as soon as i turned around to face the awe in his eyes, i felt weak on my knees.
The fact that he had it all planned since then, right when i was starting fall for him, only makes me fall for him more.
"I don't know" i said under my breath with a teasing smile "i mean it's our first date, you'll have to try a little harder if you wanna get a kiss, and by the way, the ice cream is missing"
"I'll go get it, just stay here and take this" He said as he handed me his jacket. I nodded before feeling the comforting warmth of it.
Without having second thoughts, i burry my head inside it breathing his scent, and all i want is to freeze time untill my lungs are filled enough of his smell to last forever.
