Chapter 29

Chester's POV
These type of days went on for the remainder of that week. That Friday night, Mike said that he wanted to take me out to eat, so that's what we did. After school that day, I came home and took a shower. Then I put on some nicer clothes than what I was wearing to look somewhat presentable for my man.

Mike, for once, didn't  wear his hat and spiked up his hair a bit instead. I loved him in hats, but also loved his black soft hair to show.

We went to a nice restaurant that I had told him about. We got a table for two and sat in front of eachother. Then we started looking at the menu for something to eat.

"What are you thinking about getting?" Mike asked as he looked at his menu. "Hmm... I don't know. Everything looks so good." I said. "You know what else looks good?" He asked. "You?" I asked. He blushed a little and smiled. "I was gonna say you actually." He said. I smiled. We eventually picked what we wanted and got our food.

"What's your favorite food?" Mike asked with his mouth full of food. I chuckled. "Honestly, pizza." I said. "Really? I mean, I love pizza, but there's so much more that's better." He said. I shrugged. "I haven't tried that many different types of food. Growing up, we mostly ate stuff that you can heat up in the microwave." I said.

"When you come to LA next week, I'm gonna take you to my favorite restaurants and show you my favorite foods. Also, you need to try my mother's cooking. Fuck it's so good." He said. I smiled. "I can't wait." I said.

"Me neither. I'm so ready to show you my house and introduce you to my family and friends. I can't wait for people to finally know who you are instead of calling you my Mystery Blonde or Brunette, whatever they're calling you this week." He said. I nodded.

"I hope your family likes me." I said. "Oh I'm sure they will." "And what if they don't?" "Well if they don't then there's nothing I can do about that. I can't change the way they feel. It's not gonna change the way I feel about you though if that's what you're worried about." He said. I smiled. "Good."

We finished our food and left the restaurant after about another half hour or so. We got in Mike's car and he started driving the opposite way from my house.

"Where are we going?" I asked. He smiled. "You'll see in about... 50 minutes." He said as he looked at the clock on the dash. I narrowed my eyes and tried to think of what was 50 minutes away from us that he was taking me to.

"Okay. I'm going to text my dad and tell him that we'll be home late so that he doesn't get worried." I said. Mike nodded and continued to drive. I texted my dad and tried to think of where he could be taking me to.

About thirty minutes in, I soon saw the Superstitious Mountains coming into view. I looked over at him and he smiled. "When I was in LA a few weeks ago, I looked up places in Arizona to go to. This place looked beautiful and I knew that I had to see it." He said. "We could've went during the day tomorrow, ya know?" I said. "Everything is more fun in the dark though." He said. I just laughed and shook my head. He reached over and intertwined my hand in his as he turned down the road to go to the mountain.

After a few more minutes, we made it to a place to park your car a ways from the mountain. We got out and Mike walked in front of his car and hopped up on the dusty hood. I got up there beside him and took his hand in mine.

"I just want to lay here." He said as he layed back. I smiled and layed with him. He stared up at the stars and took a deep breath. "All these stars and constellations in the sky, and none of them are as beautiful as you." He whispered. I blushed and looked over at him. "You're so fucking sweet." I said. He looked back over at me. "I'm just stating facts babe." He said.
