Dreams are reality 3rd book in trilogy

chapter 10

Jordan's POV****

"Are you sure you know where you're going" Ty asks from behind me. "Of course I do. I remember everything about this place" I answer, kissing his cheek. I grab his hand and continue leading him down the wooded path. "Okay now here you have to close your eyes. I don't want you peeking" I say. "Ugh do I have to?" Ty asks groaning. I laugh and nod. He groans once more as he covers his face with his hands. I grab ahold of his hand and lead him a few more steps foreward.

We stood in one of the only openings around this part of the woods. "You can open your eyes now" I say as I watch his face light up at the sight. "Wow this place is beautiful" Ty gasps, looking at the waterfall in front of us. "My family was doing a nature walk through this part of the national park and I got to hooked up in my music. So I stumbled upon this and the sight amazed me" I say, looking up at the water above us. Ty looks up at the waterfall then walks around the cave walls, studying almost everything. "Is this how I looked when I first found this place?"

Gently, I pulled my tank top off and slid my jean shorts off before diving into the water in front of me. The water was warm and enveloped me as if a mother was holding her child. I swim up to the surface and see Ty looking over at me. He had already taken his shirt off and was waiting by the edge of the water. "What?" I ask swimming over to the edge. He smiles and shakes his head. "Hey can you help me out?" I ask looking up at him. He nods and extends a hand, grabbing mine. Swiftly, I pull him into the water with a splash.

He comes up and gasps for breath as I laugh, splashing water in his direction. He glares at me making me smile. "That is my cue to get out of the water!" I yell swimming towards the edge. Suddenly, I'm pulled back as Ty looks into my eyes. Nice going Jordan. Now he's going to throw you farther in the water or he'll dunk you under. He wraps his arms around me as he kisses me gently. I kiss back, holding his face in my hands. "You can be such a pain in the butt" Ty laughs, looking into my eyes. "You know you love me" I giggle as he kisses me once again.

After a few more minutes of splash wars, we get out of the water and put our other clothes back on. "You ready?" I ask looking over at him. "Hold on" he orders, walking up to the cave walls. Ty then pulls out something out of his pocket before holding it up to the wall. Confused, I scurry up next to him looking at what he was doing. J+T was written in sharpie on the wall.

I blush, looking down at the ground. Ty appears in front of me as he tilts my face up to his. He looks deep into my eyes as if he was trying to learn all of my secrets. "Forever" was all he says as he kisses me. My arms wrap around his neck as I stand up on my toes to be the same height as him. I pull away and kiss his cheek as he grabs my hand. With a smile on my face, I lead him out of the woods.

Our walk back to the hotel was nothing but silence. Our hands swayed back and forth a little bit but words never came through. I look over on my right and see a small gift shop. Without a warning, I pull him towards the shop. We walk in as I drop his hand, walking around. I spotted a few things including a cute tank top and a pair of sunglasses. I walk around with those in my hands until I see a surprising sight. Ty+ Pink sunglasses+ a duck inflatable around his waist+ a crab hat+ flippers= not so good. My laughs fill the store as Ty only smiles. I pull out my phone and quickly take a picture while I was still laughing.

"What do you not like my style?" Ty asks as he strikes a pose making me laugh harder. Tears eventually roll down my face as I finally catch my breath. "I will never ever delete that picture" I say, taking a deep breath. Ty laughs and takes all the stuff off. I pay for my tank top and sunglasses before leaving the small shack.

Once arriving back at the hotel, I fold my new tank top and put it in my suitcase while I slide the glasses on to my face. After sending the picture of Ty to the group back in California, I go and sit outside on the balcony feeling the warm breeze hit my face.

It felt good to be alone and just think about everything that has happened so far. I don't ever want to leave here. This place is utterly perfect. T.J. is officially gone and out of my life. "My life is perfect" I say to myself, smiling. The smile grew and grew until it started to hurt my cheeks. That smile was only on my face because for once in my life, I actually believed it.
