He Saved Me

Chapter sixty eight

We arrive at a small walkway, telling me that this area isn't very known to the public.

"Mas, where are we going?" I question, ducking under a tree branch.

"Here, walk next to me" He places his hand on the small of my back, guiding me on where to go.

We come across a small treehouse, just above a pretty large lake.

"Woah, you made this?" I look up at it.

"When I was little, my dad bought this property and we built this tree house. I've continued to keep it in almost perfect condition. Let's go up" He smiles a boyish smile.

I nod and climb up the ladder, slowing getting up.

Once I do, I look around, amazed. It looked a lot smaller down there.

"It's cool right? I come here whenever I'm upset or I need to clear my head. It's the perfect thinking spot. And over there, at sunset it gives you the most beautiful view" He points to an opening in the trees. "I assume sunrise is beautiful too, I've never gotten up early enough to witness it" He chuckles.

"It's amazing. I wish I had something like this when I was younger. Would have made things so much more bearable" I sigh, placing my hands on the railing.

"I'm sorry babe" He wraps his arms around me, placing his chin on the top of my head.

"It's okay, really. That's in the past and I'm okay. I'm feeling better each day, thanks to you" I kiss his cheek.

"You're the cutest" He smiles down at me, picking me up and spinning me.

We sit down on the bean bags and just talk for a while, enjoying our drinks.

"Are you having a good time here, besides the whole mishap?" He asks, nervously.

"Yeah, I am. It's beautiful here" I give him a reassuring smile.

"That's a relief. I had hoped that you would like it" He gives me an innocent smile.

"Well, I couldn't be happier Mas. Thank you" I kiss his cheek.

"And I neither could I. That is, until we're standing on the alter and you say 'I do'" He winks, my cheeks heating up.

"Mason White" I shake my head, smiling.

"What? You don't want that? Dämn, you really had me fooled" He shrugs, laughing.

"Oh shush" I hit his chest.

My phone rings and I answer the call, seeing it's Grace.

"Gracie" I shout as it connects.

"Leah, show me Italy. Is it everything we've ever dreamed of?" Grace beams.

"Right now we're in Masons treehouse so I can show you the view of the water, but yes. Everything plus a little more" I laugh, panning the camera to the view of the water and the afternoon sky.

"Hi Mason" Grace yells.

"Hey Grace" Mason laughs, waving to her. He walks back into the structure, sitting in the beanbag.

"So, how is it?" Grace wiggles her eyebrows.

"It's beautiful, really. Practically unreal" I chuckle a little.

"So tell me, what happened? I want to know everything" She claps.

"I'll tell you everything when I get back, okay?" I laugh, not wanting to get into it right now. "But, we did go on a boat ride which was amazing. We went to this little island with a bunch of hot-springs. And the water, the water is the brightest blue I've ever seen" I gush.
