Andrews pov

I couldn't say no to em's offer last night. As much as i wanted to stay i didn't want to pry. But i also couldn't say no to that face she played. Those sweet looking lips of hers pouting down just begging to be kissed. I guess Ive found my new weakness.

I had been staring at her face for the past 30 minutes now. Just taking in every part of her. shes so beautiful. Roberts an idiot not to notice. It was almost 10 and we were still in bed. She looked so peaceful i couldn't wake her up. Right when i thought of sneaking out she moved.

"Hey"

"Hey beautiful"

"Where you going?"

"Oh i was just gonna make some breakfast."

"You cook?"

"A little bit"

She leaned in closer and my breath caught in my throat.

"That's OK  I'll make something , you should show me your other skills prince charming. "

Her voice was so seductive I felt a stir in my pants. Good thing she got up right then. I didn't want her to see my situation. 

After eating the best egg ham and cheese croissant I've ever had I offered to take em out. I wanted to do anything to get her mind off of Robert. I wanted to help her get over him. But that was her decision to decide.i drove her out to a place I call my peace of mind.one day I went on a hiking trip with my soccer team somehow I got lost and I found this place. I've been coming to it ever since. It's beautiful and it's where I go to find peace .Whenever I'm upset I come here and I forget about my problems. I've never seen anyone here so I think none but me knows of it. I thought this would be great for em too .

" Wow this place is really nice."

"Stop lying em"

"No really it is"

(soft laugh) "No stop..were not even there yet"

"Oh..yeah because this just looks like an abandoned parking space"

"Your really something Em"

I didn't want her to see the trail to this place so i blindfolded her. "Get on my back Em". She climbed on and i walked a little more for ten minutes. When i got there i put her down and took the blindfolds off.

"Oh my..Andrew what is this"

"This is my special place".

Emily's Pov

The place was so beautiful. There was a cave like dent in the rocks where water was coming from almost like a mini waterfall. The water was clear blue and there was a huge rock dock like where you could probably take a dive from. This place was like what you'd see in a magazine.

"How did you find here?..Who else knows about this?"

"My soccer team and i used to go hiking all the time. One day we had a game and we lost. It was very important to me and i was so angry. So i decided to come here and walking around awhile i found this. I've been coming here for two years and never see anyone so im guessing only i know of it. When i came i completely forgot i was angry and about all my problems. This place is really special to me."

"So i'm the only person you've shown here"

"Yeah"

I could tell Andrew really loved this place, but why would he show it to me?

"Why me?"

"Because this place is my healing and you need it more than i do right now so i thought id share it with you."

I couldn't help but smile. my heart tugged at how sweet he was.

"So this is our sanctuary"

"Yeah but one condition,..you can't tell or show anybody okay."

"Yeah ,i promise".

We sat on a flat rock just to take in the view and i linked my arms with andrew. i felt so relaxed and the the thought came to mind.

"Andrew?"

"..hmm"

"Do you like anyone?"

"Why?"

"Well..i noticed you don't have a girlfriend and i can't help but wonder why? I mean your attractive and your sweet and kind and i wonder why you don't have one."

Andrew looked at me for a minute

"Well there is this girl"

"Yeah..do i know her?"

"Can't tell you that."

"Wh..Why not."

"I'll tell you one day, but this girl i don't know if i qualify to be her boyfriend."

"What?..she would be stupid."

"Really,what do you think she'd like, i mean what does a girl want in a guy."

"Well every girl wants a guy to want them back you know, i mean at least that's what i want. I want him to give me his heart and let me in and not be afraid to show me his true feelings. Or to make me happy and drown me with sweet words or you know theres so much it's kind of unrealistic"

"No keep going"

"Uhh i want a very attractive guy, or at least decent looking"..  Andrews looking at me funny. "i don't care im not shallow so don't look at me like that"

He laughs "am i decent looking."

"Andrew ..your beautiful" i didn't think i would say that but i couldn't help but be honest. Maybe it was this place we were in because never would i have blurted that out.

He was quiet after that and i thought maybe i said something wrong. Then i noticed that i've been absentmindedly drawing circles and playing with his arm hairs the whole time.

"Sorry about that" he didn't say anything. He had a hard  look on his face like he was in pain or something. I immediately let go. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah".. He didn't look at me "let's climb that rock".

I followed him. When we reached the top we were looking into the water."Can you swim?"

"Uh. Yeah" caught Offguard not thinking he would talk to me ,then it hit me. I was in the air 2 seconds away from splashing. Andrew had tackled me into jumping off the rock.

"Ahahh.. my gosh the waters soo cold." He splashed water in my face but i couldn't help but fight back. But it was hopeless i was shivering. He noticed and brought me out of the water to where the sun was shining.

"If .i..i get sick be ..cause of you . I'll..k..kill..y.you."

Andrew laughed. He helped me up and carried me back to the car. When we were inside he turned up the heat and grabbed a blanket from the backseat and wrapped it around me. I took it off, leaned into him and wrapped it around both of us. I immediately felt warm. Andrew was so comfortable. My back was leaning into his chest and nothing felt better than lying in his arms.We sat there for awihle until my stomach growled.

"You hungry?"

Yeah". That's when i realized how late it was out. The sky was already dark and i couldn't help but wonder how long we were out. Being with him made me forget about the time. It made me forget about everything. Even Robert, and that's when i knew.
