The Red Oak Tree

Chapter Five

"Are you gonna keep looking at me like that all night ?" Willow's question bring me back to earth .

Since my eyes dropped on her coming out of the building , and I can't look to anything else .

Driving the car to here was a miracle . If I wasn't sure I would say she was someone else and I mistakenly talked to her as Willow . But I would never missed that smile , that beautiful eyes . And of course no one would miss Willow being Willow when she reached me and said " Wow , you are looking like a mouse in the cheese factory."

And that was probably because the look on my face .

"Okay seriously . I'm feeling like you are going to eat me and that freaking me out ." She say in way make me laugh and feel shy at the same time .

I look down to my feet , right and left . I don't want her to think that I'm crazy .

"I'm sorry ." I say "It's just hard not to look to you tonight . You are really beautiful ."

"Are you referring that I wasn't beautiful before ?"

"No . No no that wasn't .. No , it's you in this dress and the look."

"So you are saying that my cloths are shabby ."

"No . Why are you retail my words ?"

She laugh "I'm just make it ease ."

"Make it ease ? I thought you are really mad and about to hit me ."

"Hit you ? No , may be I'm not normal , but not much to hit someone ."

I smile and say nothing . The atmosphere was amazing , so romantic . Slow music , a lot of candles . Every table have a couple sitting on it , eyes in eyes , hands hold , quite talk .

I look back to Willow , she is admiring the place too . I wonder if we can be like those people , but I will never expect her reaction .

"Can I ask ." I start "Your dress color . You didn't know I'm gonna wear a blue shirt , right ?"

"And how I would know ?" Her cheeks turn little red "You said it's your favorite color , so ".

A nervous wave from her hand complete the sentence . I can't believe it , she is wearing that especially because I love the color . She is really cares.

I move my hand on the table , let my fingers touch her lightly . She raise her eyes to mine , and smile , move her fingers to mine and let them tangle together .

A movement start inside me , a good one . I feel my heart beat fast . I can feel her pulse fasten too , like our hearts moving in sync together . I like it .

"What's your secret ?" I ask .

"I don't have a lot of secrets . Just ask what you want and I will answer?"

"Okay then ." I say "Have you been always like that ?"

"Like what ? Crazy ?"

"No , no not crazy I mean that little weird . Umm I don't say you are completely weird I mean .... " I laugh nervously .

Her eyebrows raise and the dis believable look on her face saying that I don't kidding anyone .

"Yeah okay you are a little crazy . But in a lovely way ."

She smile and looked a way for a second .

"Yes I think I'm crazy like that since ever . (Live and let live ) my granny always say , ( We are not sure we would be here tomorrow , so we must not waste a minute ) I raised up hearing those words and still do ".
