Beautiful Exit: The Bunny Ranch Murders

*Chapter 28*

~Natalie~

Keep your eyes closed! Where are we Sapphire? Just keep them closed okay. Fine I trust you I said holding her hand as she guided me through what seemed like grass or something. Okay open them. I looked around and we were at the park. Happy 5 month anniversary! What I said looking at her. 5 months ago you agreed to be with me and help me through this journey I call life. This is different for me because I've never been in a relationship Natalie. I know I pushed you away for a long time but I am happy to say that I am glad you fought for me. I am glad that you...before she finished her sentenced I kissed her. We normally don't kiss in public but right now I don't care, I just wanted to be close to her. I love you I said against her lips. I love you too. You're the first person I've ever said that too. Really! Yeah, in the romantic sense.

This is beautiful I said looking at the blanket laid out. I've never had girlfriend that spoiled me this way. Your last girlfriend didn't. No Kim was...she was just a distraction as bad as that sounds. She was a get away from my home life. So you never really loved her? I don't know if I ever really knew what love meant till I met you. So you saying that I am the first love in your life? Maybe you are Ms. Cameron. She smiled at me again. I love the way you say my name. Well it's your name how else would I say it? She just smiled and looked away again. Don't do that, being all girly on me now. Hush I am not! Yeah you're blushing. Black people don't blush Natalie. Really they don't so why are your cheeks red? Cause we are in the damn dessert and it's hot as a shit. Potty mouth! You love it. I sure do it belongs to me I said kissing her again.

This is for you she said sliding me over the gift bag. Sapphire you don't have to keep buying me things. I do it because I want to so open it. I took the bag from her and opened it. There was a card and 5 blue boxes. Are these from where I think they are from? She nodded to me. 5 Tiffany boxes were in the bag. 1 for each month she said smiling. Oh my god I said going through the boxes opening them. 1 necklace, a set of earrings, 2 bracelets, and ring topped off all of the gifts she's bought me. Sapphire this has to be like 10 thousand dollars' worth the stuff. Mmm baby girl try 25. You spent 25 thousand dollars on me! Well don't tell everyone in the park but yes I did. I can't take this that's too much. Are you serious right now she said looking at me with a hurt expression? It's too much! Natalie! Baby How can I...don't get me wrong I appreciate I do. But how can I in good faith walk around in that ranch wearing 25 thousand dollars' worth of jewelry. Those bitches will be on me before I can turn the knob to my room. So that's what you're worried about them bitches messing with you? Uhh Yeah Don't worry about them baby they are more than aware that you and Zora are not to be messed with. But if it will make you feel better we can store all of it in my safe. And I'll give you the pass code to get it whenever you want to wear something.

I'd never received anything like this and to know she was going out of her way for me, made me realize that she really does love me. Okay. Okay! Thank you baby I really love all of it! You're welcome but you gotta wear this she said sliding the ring on my finger. It was an infinity band with alternating blue sapphires and diamonds. Infinity band. Yeah because we'll always be in love. Its alternating blue and white for Sapphire and Angel. I can get with that. You gotta read the card but later. Later why. After we get to the hotel. I got the whole night planned for us. So sweet. She nodded at me. We spent the rest of the time at the park eating and talking. Before we left she had this couple take a picture of us for our scrapbook. I've turned her soft, because now she's into scrapbooking and saving mementos of our time together. Once we were done at the park we drove for a little bit before pulling over on the side of the road. Where are we, did we give out of gas? No we didn't I just wanted to spend some real alone time with you.

You ever been in two places at once she said as we laid on the roof of her car looking at the stars. No I can't say I have. What if I told you right now you are in three places at one time? That's not possible! Really you think she said looking over at me. Yeah there is no way you can be in three places at once. You see those lights just across the water. Yeah! That's Arizona! And if you look that direction that's the California/ Nevada border. So you mean if we go down to the water and get in we'll be in Nevada, Arizona, and California. Yeah 3 places at one time. I looked at the water and it wasn't that deep. Come on I said pulling her off the car. Wait Natalie we can't get in the water, girl it'll wash us away. This coming from a person that said it's okay to go skinny dipping in Santa Monica. That was different it was an ocean this is a river and we don't know what they are dumping in it.
