Perfect Strangers

Chapter 27

After taking a shower and changing into black ripped jeans, a pink shirt and my white high top converse, I am currently in the bathroom french braiding my hair into two french braids. Brad leans on the door frame to the bathroom and I just stare at him and raise an eyebrow "yes?" I question.

Bradley laughs "just checking in on you, and I got you something"

This makes me worried and  cautious "and what would that be?"

Brad steps into the bathroom with a box behind his back. He steps into the bathroom and closes the door "sooo it's a little something to match your pretty light pink shirt"

I stick out my bottom lip "stop teasing meeeee just give me the gift"

Brad starts to laugh "okay okay" he holds out a box, I unwrap of and graze my finger over the 'converse' label to the box. My eyes widen and I stare at Brad "yo-you bought me shoes!!"

"Not just any shoes" Brad lifts open the box "pink shoes" he laughs and then I follow his gaze to stare at his feet.

Bradley even bought himself a pink pair on converse to match mine.

I wrap my arms around Bradley very tightly I then smirk, folding my arms above my chest "whats the special occasion?"

"don't tell me you forgot your own birthday"

I stand up on my tip toes to reach brads height " my birthday is tomorrow so whats up with the gifts?"

"I have a whole day planned for today in order to make it to your birthday"

I stood there confused. why couldnt we just do everything tomorrow? what did brad have planned? was there more for me to know? 

brad snaps his fingers in front of my face "hayley are you coming?"

I look up quickly and force a smile on my face "yeah, lets go"

After putting on my new shoes we walk out to the driveway with the many, many cars. Bradley ends up getting into the black mustang and I make my way to the front seat. we drove for awhile and it wasn't any place I knew very well. This was the first time since we got to brads moms house that we ever left the house. Normally it was for food or to go for a walk but other than that we never really got out of the house. 

After driving for another half hour I started to get bored, once we pulled into an empty parking lot, the car stopped. I looked around and saw nothing, no stores or other cars.

I tap Brads shoulder lightly "where are we..? ARE YOU KIDNAPPING ME??"

Bradley laughs "i kind of already kidnapped you so I don't think its possible to do it again and we are going to eat"'

I stare at him "and where is the resturant?"

Brad reaches into the back seat and pulls out a picnic basket "there is no resturant"

I chuckle "look at you being all sweet and thoughtful"

Bradleys expression drops and he mumbles something to himself quiet enough so that i couldn't hear. This got me thinking again, what was brad up too? why is he acting like this is the last day he will see me? 

Brad sees that i was deep in thought so he forces a smile and then opens the car door. I follow him down a path and we reach a pond, there are lights strung throughout the trees and a little picnic blanket is spread out on a little bridge.

The next place we went wasn't far from brads house, we ended up going to a little carnival that was in town. It was very cute and was lit up with excited children faces and all the flashing lights.

After a few rides, we were walking along the peir, just a little away from the carnival to go look out on the ocean. boy was this a pretty sight. i sighed and smiled "thank you for taking me out"

brad chuckles and looks at me "do you really think this was a;ll i had planned"

I blink twice and stare at brad, "you mean to tell me you have more?"

A small laugh erupts from brad "of course i do"

The next thing I knew we were then walking back to the carnival, we went on various other rides but the thing that will always stick in my mind was the ferris Wheel ride. The sun was just starting to set as we nearned the top, the city below blew my mind. I swear i could see for miles and miles on end. I turned around to look out on the city from the other side but instead, I locked eyes with Brad. I could see a sparkle in his eyes, like a tear was ready to drip down his face. My shiny, bright smile quickly faded as Brad looked away.

"Brad?" i question, "why are you crying?"

Brad shakes his head  to make himself appear not sad and then smiles, this smile ive known for awhile now..it was a fake smile. As fake as a three dollar bill. 

Brad then get out his phone and makes us take a picture..he feel in love with this picture. This picture was something to capture the night. I was still very confused by why brad was about to cry.

I observe Brad for a few minutes without realizing that the Ferris Wheel had made its way down to the bottom.

We get off and he intertwines his hand with mine. Walking for a little more, we exit the carnival and being our walk home.

About thirty minutes pass and we come across this man, we was playing his gituar and has the case set out infront of him. The song he was playing was a slower song, so being the weirdos we are, Brad and I start to slow dance. Brad twirls me and we make the best of the song. After the song was over i offer the man a smile and toss a five dollar bill into the case.

Once we walk up the street to Brads house..it was like my life flashes before my eyes and you will never guess what i woke up to.
