" What is this place? " I asked, half mezmerized and the other half smiling, when he offered me a can of cold beer.
" Good question, love. This is what you call an 'escape'. Pretty neat, huh? I made the decorations myself"
" So you're a DIY guy huh?"
" Yeah. The name's Josh, and you are?"
" Cassidy. Cassidy Rose"
" Rose? ...It's lovely. I guess they're right about names being prayers"
" Sure is , hot guy". He really has a way of flirting with girls.
The beautiful stranger and I talked and drank beer under the scenic view of stars for hours and hours. We only just met, but it felt like we've known each other for a long time.
" Josh, I think it's getting late, I should go. Thanks for the beer by the way"
" May I give you a ride back home?"
" Awesome"
As we rode I could see as the sun began to rise and set the cocktail colored sky aside. Never before had I felt so much warmth, but the view wasn't the only one giving me warmth.
Slowly, I leaned my head on Josh's broad back. This isn't what you do with strangers, but he made me feel safe and protected. That same warmth I felt when I was with gramps. Again, that familiar feeling embraced me.
" Alright love, we're here"
" Wait, this is creepy. You know where I live?"
" Well, your gramps was somewhat famous back in the day, and... I got paid to work..." Josh explained as he grabbed a shovel and started cleaning up the cottage garden's massive mess.
Wait a minute.
" you don't say... You worked for my gramps?"
He gave me his big hand with a sweet smile on top.
" Well, I haven't made an official introduction. Good morning miss Rose, I am your personal and official gardener. Too official?" He grinned showing his white and perfect range of teeth. Perfect.
" You don't have to be too formal you know, chillax. We're friends, remember?"
" Hey, I like you already" he said half teasing.
I felt my ears grow hot. Wow, didn't see that coming. I really need to process all that's happened in the last 24 hours right now. I got lost in the woods, met a very charming stranger who brought me back home and it turns out he's my gardener. And right now he's flirting with me. I think my brain just melted.
