The Bad Boy Know-It-All

Let's Go on an Adventure ✓

Gage

It's 11 pm and I really should be asleep right now, but all I can think about is going on an adventure.

And the only person I want to go on an adventure with is Amelia. 

Instead of just laying there and making imaginary plans, I decided to set one in motion.

I needed to make sure Amelia was on board before I even decided to leave my house, otherwise it would be pointless. 

So, I texted her. 

[ Gage // Amelia ]

Hey Beautiful, let's go on an adventure! :)

Right now?

Yep! See you soon! 

After I sent that text, I started getting ready for our impromptu adventure.

All I really wanted to do was go to a local park with her.

So, I packed some snacks and a blanket. I want this night to be cozy and romantic. I want to show her that she is really special to me. 

I ran into Leah and my mom on my way out of the door. They were snuggled up on the couch watching yet another princess movie.

My mom should not be letting her watch so much tv! She is starting to confuse that world with reality. Not every guy is a perfect prince. However, I want her to stay young for just a little while longer, so I guess I am okay with her thinking that.

"Mom! I am going to Amelia's house, I promise to be back within a few hours," I told my mom hurriedly. 

"Ok darling, stay safe," my mom whispered, most likely trying not make Leah mad. Leah hates when we interrupt her tv time.

That child, I swear!

I just nodded my head at my mother, assuring her that I would indeed be safe.

I headed out the door and started setting up the back of my truck with the blankets. I grabbed a picnic basket from the garage before I left so that I could put all of the snacks in there. 

After that was done, I was on my merry way to Amelia's house.

Eventually, I pulled into her driveway, and texted her that I was 'here'. I did not want to ring her doorbell in case her parents were sleeping. 

I will say, that she took her precious time coming outside though. 

However, I was stunned when she did finally come out of her house. 

She was wearing my sweatshirt with her hair pulled back in a French braid.

Yes, I do know what those are, okay? I have a mom and a sister, and both of them taught me how to braid and do their hair.

As she was approaching her side of the car, I swiftly got out and opened the door for her, trying to show that I can actually be a gentleman.

After she got in, I put my car in drive and headed down to the local park. We sat in silence, but a comfortable silence. I think we both have a lot on our minds right now, and I was just going to let her be in peace until we arrived at our destination.

During our trip there, I felt her reach out and grab my hand. I intertwined our fingers together and squeezed her hand gently before bringing it up to my lips and placing a feather light kiss on it. 

For the rest of the ride, I would occasionally rub her thumb softly, and if we reached a stoplight, I would turn and just gaze down at her.

I am pretty sure I look like a love sick puppy right now.
