Drake was sound asleep but I just couldn't bring myself to sleep. So I got up from the couch as silently as I could trying not to disturb him as he slept, and walked into the kitchen where I sat at the table my hands on my forehead as I thought about the dream. Does it mean something? Is it a sign? It was all so confusing! I looked through the door way and looked at the couch where Drake lay in the same place he had been when I left. I smiled, how? How did I manage to meet such a great guy? I smiled again and walked back to the couch and sat down next to Drake, I leaned my head on his shoulder again. Still asleep, he put his arm around me and pulled me in for what I think was a hug. I giggled a little and put my arms around him giving him a hug. He stirred a little, I thought he was still sleeping, when his head bent down and kissed my cheek. I smiled in surprise, I had thought he was asleep.
"Did I wake you?" I asked nervously.
"No I woke up from having a dream." He reassured me. I smiled, relieved.
"Why are you up this late Casey? You should be sleeping!" He told me sternly. I looked into his eyes,
"I'm just not tired." I told him.
"How about we go for a walk?" He suggested. I stood up quickly and raced to the other room to get something else to wear. I walked out of the room, all ready to go. Drake smiled at me and started laughing. I looked from side to side. What was he laughing at?
"You got ready fast." He teased.
"Just excited to finally get to take a walk with my amazing boyfriend." I said.
"Ok, well lets go." In one hand he held the house key, in the other he held my hand, and we walked out of the house and started walking down the street. I looked from side to side and remembered an old place I used to visit as kid.
"Follow me." I told Drake.
"Where are we going?" He asked.
"You'll see." I smiled at him and started running toward the woods and shot into the trees, I glanced back to see if he was there, sure enough there he was keeping up well. I ran faster and sped over a little hill and stopped at the top and laid down on the grass, waiting for Drake to come any second. The bushes rustled and he appeared from behind them and smiled at me, I smiled back. Drake sat down next to me, we laid back watching the stars. Moonlight was shining down on us. The stars were so very beautiful! I looked over at Drake as he watched the stars, then he looked over at me, I moved closer to him, now.... the night was perfect! I was in the arms of the one I loved, looking up at the stars. While I was right there, I drifted to sleep, smiling.
