Chapter 45 - The Flawless Valentine's

BLAIRE's POV

On being dragged down from the bed, I saw Chris standing at the door.

“Come on, let's go. We're late,” he whined.

“It's already ten in the morning, Jimmy,” he said tapping on his wristwatch.

“But where are we going?” I was confused.

“Stop asking questions and let's go,” he said as he grabbed my hand and took me downstairs.

He literally dragged me out of the house and mom called from behind, “Have a great day, honey.”

We drove off. In that beautiful Mustang.

“I'm in my PJs,” I stated once we're on the road.

“Not a problem,” he shrugged.

I was super annoyed and grabbed my phone to indulge myself when I noticed it's fourteenth of February. It's valentine's day. I glanced at Christian but his eyes were on the road. Whistling a happy tune, he nodded his head to the beats.

I swapped my head in his direction when I noticed the car slowed down infront of a store. He got out of the car and walked towards those huge glass doors.

“Come on in," he gestured as he held the door open for me.

I hopped out of the car and walked in with him. A girl probably in her early twenties was sitting at the reception. She looked up at Christian and there was an eye contact held for a second or two and then she sweetly spoke, “Please ma'am, this way.”

I followed her to a shelf and she handed me a box. I looked at the box and then glanced at Christian.

“Go get changed,” he smiled at me,“or are you willing to go all the way to LA in your nightwear?” he wiggled his eyebrows.

My eyes lit up at the mention of LA. I rushed into the change room and wore the knee length skater dress with full sleeves and simple neckline. The cherry red colour matched that of the Mustang.

As soon as we were done, we were back on the road. The trip was silent yet melodious with the February cold and the sweet sunshine. We drove past our house and I looked over at him.

“I thought we were coming back home," I said looking over.

“Not everything happens as you think, sunshine," he replied softly.

Soon, we came to a stop. We stood in front of the elementary school we studied. Noticing the confusion on my face, he said, “We are off for a treasure hunt.”

“And what may I hope to find in there?" I asked, arching an eyebrow.

“Well, there will be hints given by the treasurer and you have to follow those,” he replied.

“Alright,” I said as I got out of the car.

“ I'm the treasurer and I get to set the rules," he declared.

“No rules," I declared.

“Alright, agreed," he surrendered.

“First clue, a captured moment of childhood,"

I looked around the building, feeling the nostalgia hit me hard. I and Christian had spent our kindergarten here by the time elementary school started, I left. I thought for a moment about the clue and headed towards the kindergarten section.
Acting with a little intelligence, I headed towards our class.

“Time is running out, Jimmy,” Christian reminded.

“There are no rules and to time limits,” I shouted back at him.
