Chapter 18: The game

I walk into Dylan's favourite restaurant, pancake parlour. I order his favourite meal and it comes out with a photo on top. He's planned his out so well. It's a photo of Dylan and I with pancakes on our faces with the eyes and mouth eaten out. I flip the photo to the back and he's written '

okay cake face, well done. It's not over yet. How about the cinema where I officially fell in love with you.'

So off to Hoyts I went. I walk in. Where do I go? I hear a whistle from the game area I see Dylan smiling at me I run over and he's gone. On the air hockey table is another photo, it's a selfie of Dylan frowning with a bruise from the puck in his forehead. I spin the photo around and on the back it has '

play 1 game with Jim and he will give you your next clue'

sly bastard! I see a little boy about 10-11 years old smirking at me holding the puck and spinning it in his hands. "Let's play" I say with my game face on. The game is finished and I won. I hold my hand out and he gives me a high five. I give his a look and then he reaches in his pocket and hands me the clue. '

Congrats! Now go to Coles and find the isle we crashed at and look for the clue (it's well hidden)'

I go down to Coles and find the isle I look down the isle and see a trolley all the way at the other end with a big sign on it saying 'CLUE' with arrows pointing to a photo. I stroll down the isle and snatch the photo it's a picture of me ass up in the air lying in a pool of groceries '

found it did you? Well done. If you go up to the counter and buy my favourite lolly from Sue she will give you another clue'

i grabbed a packet of snakes and went to sue at the check outs. She smiled at me a handed me a photo of me. Just me, standing up reading a piece of paper with a pink box on opened sitting on my bed '

meet me where I took this photo of you.'

Oh he's going to get it. He just made me do all that for nothing. Why did I even do that? I walk home angrily because my feet are sore from walking. I walk into Dylan's room and sitting on his bed is a flower from the park, a stack of pancakes movie tickets and a huge box of chocolate.

"You're an ass." I see Dylan emerging from the hallway into his room. "Do you love me?" He says with a smirk I look at him and don't say anything "I bet you, you do.." He says stepping towards me. "No, not yet." I say going along with his game. "Say yes" he says take an even bigger step towards me. "No" I resist. "Say yes" he repeats himself not moving this time "no" I say again. He steps closer to me and were almost chest to chest. He looks into my eyes and whispers "I will get you to say yes" I look up at him staring into his green eyes "never."
