What If?

Date night

"Shall we go?"

I smile and link my arm in his.
"Let's."

We walk outside to his car. He opens the door for me and I slip in as he walks around and gets in on the other drivers side. He shuts his door and then twists his body around to where he's halfway in the backseat.

I look at him with confusion.
"Ummmm.... Timothy? What are you doing?"

He pulls back and sits in his seat holding a bright, red piece of fabric.

He holds it up.
"Getting this."

I furrow my eyebrows, still confused.
"And what is this?"

He smiles.
"A blindfold. Now come here."

I lean away with wide eyes.
"A blindfold? Why?!"

He chuckles at me.
"So you can't see where we're going. Now let me tie it."

I continue to lean my body against the door.
"Why do I need to be blindfolded?"

He just continues to smile.
"Because it's a surprise. Now lean forward."

I stare at him hesitantly for a moment while he grins and raises an eyebrow. I groan and lean over to let him tie it around my head. Timothy's smirking face is replaced by red and I can no longer see anything.

"Can you see anything?"
I hear him ask.

"Not a thing."
I reply.

"Are you lying?"

"I swear! I'm as good as blind."

I hear the engine start.
"I'll take your word for it."

I lean my head against the head rest and Timothy's takes hold of my hand.

"So what did you do today?"
He asks.

"Well I went to Kat and Kade's house. We talked for a while until Katherine had to leave for a date. It was really nice to just have a girl talk. What about you?"
I reply.

"I spent my afternoon planning tonight. Oops!"

I feel the car turn sharply and I'm pressed against the door until the car straightens and I shift back into the middle of the seat.

"What was that about?! Can I please take this thing off!"
I exclaim.

"Sorry, I almost missed the turn. And no you cannot take it off."

I sigh.
"Are we almost there?"

He chuckles and squeezes my hand.
"Be patient."

After a couple moments of silence I say.
"Did you really spend all of today planning our date?"

He doesn't say anything.

"Um, Timothy?"

"Oh! Sorry! I forgot you had the blindfold on for a minute so I was shaking my head. Yes I did."
