Flashback

You were brought back to your conscious by the sound of children playing near you. You were sitting in a park bench and reading a book, you'd gotten so absorbed by it that you didn't notice that it was getting late. You glance at your watch before getting up from the bench and grabbing your bag. You walk down the pavement still holding the book in your hand and reading it.

Your very absorbed by the book by now and are about to cross the street unknowingly. Just then a car comes speeding your way but you don't notice. Its just metres away from hitting you when you suddenly feel a tug from behind.

A hand pulls you back into the sidewalk and your book falls from your hands. He twirls you around and then holds you close, your faces just inches away from each other. He's tall slender and pale with short brown hair. His bright red eyes stare into your (e/c) eyes through a pair of spectacles resting on his little nose. His smile is spread from ear to ear and a bit seductive.

"You should be more careful on the street (y/n). If I hadn't caught you in time who knows what might have happened.", he spoke with a sweet tone.

"Well it wouldn't have happened if someone had been in time, now would it?", as you say this the man gets a bit baffled.

"Well, I'm here now, dear. Isn't that all that matters?"

"True, but you made me wait a whole hour. Where were you?", you ask a bit suspicious.

"Oh I was out.........getting you these.", he raises his other hand from behind him to show you a bouquet of roses. Their blood-red wild roses and seem freshly picked.

"Oh my! Are those wild roses? Where did you get these?", you ask in astonishment as you admire the bouquet.

"I saw them on the way back from work and they reminded me of you, darling. So I couldn't resist picking a bunch for you. That's not all, I called you today to treat you to dinner tonight! I thought I'd make a few of my home-cooked delicacies for you.", he says with his finger pointed upwards as he thought of a great idea.

"Well, that sounds splendid. I suppose there's going to be jambalaya on the menu.", you say pleased with the idea.

"Without a doubt!", he then offers you his hand like a prince in a fairy tale movie.

You smell the bouquet one last time before taking the man's hand and walking along with him.

His house was grand, a mansion. The exterior was spectacular and majestic, so was the interior. The inside was filled with unique vases and other aesthetics, the walls were lined with paintings, deer heads and rifles. There was a shelf filled with hunting trophies he'd won. It was quite amazing.

You two had dinner in a grand dining room. Candles gave it a dim lighting and a romantic atmosphere. You two sat face to face and talked for hours during the meal. Time passed by and it was getting darker.

"Mmm....this is food is absolutely delicious. How are you so good at cooking? Even I don't stand a chance against you.", you praise. You close your eyes in delight and can't help smiling as you savour the food. This makes your host slightly chuckle and you look down, a bit embarrassed and your cheeks blushing up. You felt like a total dork, but you were a cute dork. One that this man admired more than anyone else in the world, and you could tell by the way his eyes lingered on you. His soft gaze never leaving you. His eyes left you for just a second as he looked out the window at the dark sky outside. He turned back to you and got up from his seat.

"There's one last thing I'd like to show you, my dear.", he lifted his right hand to you. "Close your eyes and follow me."

You just stare at his hand for a moment as you process his words. You then take his hand and close your eyes. You trust him. He leads you out the back of the house. There's a forest nearby it and he takes you in.

"No peeking."

"I'm not.", you say with a playful smile. He makes sure to hold on to your hand tightly so he doesn't lose you. This gives you a feel of security.

You two walk for a while before he stops somewhere in the forest. He turns to face you and then takes both your hands into his. He holds them brings his face close to yours.

"Now.....open them.", he whispers into your ears.

You open your eyes and see him facing you. Behind and all around you two is just a thick dark forest. You just look at him very confused for a minute, before he leans in closer.

"Look up.", he says with his eyes pointing upwards.

You slowly lift your head to see a most marvelling sight. A dark sky filled to the brim with stars. You can see many bright stars studded in the sky and you're left totally speechless. You'd never seen anything like it ever before. You just stood there in his arms, gazing at the sky taken by its majesty.

"This is just.......magnificent. I've never seen anything like it........so beautiful.", you can't seem to find the right words to describe it.

"Not as beautiful as you, darling.", he whispers into your ears and smiles softly.

His remark makes you blush a little and before you can say anything you feel him pull you closer to his body. His face, now dangerously close. YoYou'reilled with a feeling of slight fear and anticipation. He presses his lips onto yours in a passionate kiss. He pulls back and is about to say something but you don't care. You pull his collar and your lips meet once again. He's a bit baffled as he didn't expect this and you two kiss for a good few seconds before letting go for air.

The only thing you two do now is gaze each other's eyes. The sky reflecting in them. You relax your hands on his slightly masculine chest and he softly caresses your cheek with his hand. His fingers, cold to the touch. His other hand pulls you close by the waist and you two just stare at each other. Not a word was spoken. What happens in the world around doesn't seem to matter anymore. You finally feel like you belong.
