My Silent Words

Chapter 26 - Sunset's Beauty

Alexander's POV

After that really delicious treat from Isaiah and after he sent the rest of the gang to their homes, he's taking me to somewhere I don't know which I really hope that he's not planning to drive me to the middle of the woods and grab a knife and kill me because I might jump off his car right now even if it's still moving which I'm doubting he'll do it but I'll be ready just in case.

“Where are we really going?” I ask nervously. Very nervously.

“Relax. I promised you I'm not gonna kill you.” he replied with a smirk.

“You're not answering my question”

He just ignored me and smirked wider. I sank in my seat and felt more scared. Terrified for instance.

“Shit, you're giving me the creeps.” I said and I feel him look towards me.

“Hey hey hey. It's okay. I'm sorry if I crept you out. We're almost there.” he said calmly.

“Okay, I trust you on this.” I said and he continued driving a bit more.

I guess he wasn't lying when he said we were close to our destination because what looked like 5 minutes, we arrived to somewhere sandy... Really sandy and a pool of salt water.

He took me to the beach

I got out of his car and he followed soon after.

“I told you I wasn't going to kill you.” he said smirking.

“Yeah, right.” I playfully rolled my eyes at him.

“What are you waiting for? Go!” he said and it was a signal for me to take off my shoes and run towards the white sand that was tingling on my feet every step I make. I sat on the sand and start making sand castles and sand man like I was a 7 yr. Old kid.

“Having fun?” Isaiah asks smiling while walking towards my direction. I smile back in return and nod as my answer. I don't mind talking because words can't express how happy I am right now.

He takes a seat beside me and then looked at me while playing in the sand. When I looked at him, he was still looking at me with a serious expression making me curious why he was looking at me like that.

“What? Is there sand in my face?” I quickly wiped my face as if my thoughts were correct.

“No, no. There is nothing in your face. It's just...” he trailed off

“Just what?” I ask. He leans closer and puts his hand on my chin.

“You're as beautiful as...” he then turns my head towards the beautiful scenery in front of the two of us. “This.” he finishes.

I can't express the feeling I am having once I saw the view of the sunset in front of me. The sky was in a mixture of bluish pink and the golden yellow aesthetic view of the scenario while the sun was slowly hiding from the two mountains centering the sun. I've never seen anything so beautiful like this scenario before.

He brought me to the most beautiful view my eyes could ever see.

“I wanted to take you here because of this.” He says pointing towards the aesthetic sunset view.

“Here in New York, this kind of sunset only happens once in every 74 years.” he stops to look at me. I was sat there with wide eyes and mouth agape.

No kidding

“No way.” I replied in state of shock.

“Way, people always come here on this type of season to witness this view.” he replied watching at the view.

“That explains why people are starting to come over.” I said pointing to the groups of civilians heading towards our direction.

“Yeah.”

I let out a sigh and Isaiah seemed to notice my emotion and showed an worried expression.

“What's wrong?” he asks with worry and concern in his tone. “Did I do something wrong?”

“No, no. This is perfect. I mean, I love it. I wish I knew about this a long time ago so that I could've told my mom about this, this view.” I reasoned and he nodded in understanding.

“Oh, I see.” he replied and an awkward silence followed.

“Can I ask you a question?” he says and I turn my head to face him.

“In your POV, what do you hate most?”

“Pardon?” I ask.

“I mean, what's your most hated attitude?” He asks again more clearly.

“Cheaters, Liars, Two timers, Promise breakers and mad ass people who has attitudes.” I replied honestly answering the last part in a whisper. I didn't know actually why I answered his questions so honestly. Somehow I kinda trust him.

Kinda

But this is the first and last time I'm answering his questions honestly.

Hopefully

“Mmmm... I see.” he replies nodding.

“Why?” I ask

“Actually that should've been my next question.” he laughs

“I just don't like those kind of attitudes. It feels like, you trust someone so much but they just broke it like a piece of useless glass.” I started and he nods. “And when someone breaks my trust, there's just very little possibility that I'll be giving that person a second chance depending on the person.” I finish.

“Oh, okay. Kinda harsh.” he responds.

“Yeah. He deserves it.” he looks at me in confusion.

“Who's 'he'?” he asks.

“Well, nobody. I mean, I'm describing the someone that would've break my trust on him.”

“Oh, okay.”

“If someone does cheat or lie to you, what would you do?” he asks.

“Normally, if it doesn't hurt me, I would just let it go.” I responded honestly.

“And if it badly hurts you?” I gave second thoughts about answering this type of question but he needs it.

“I would run home, grab a blade and cut my wrist open.” I replied.

“Woah, that sounds too suicidal.” I shrugged my shoulders at him.

Then realization hit me on what I was doing.

WHY AM I GIVING HIM ANSWERS?!

“Why are you asking me this?I quickly ask him calmly even though I'm in the bridge of panic.

“Well, I'm just starting to get to know you better. Is there anything wrong with that?” he explained. I shook my head in response.

“Well, it's getting dark. We should head out.” He suggested and as I look over to the sunset, he was right. The sun was almost completely gone and the moon was slowly showing. I nod to his question.

We slowly head back to Isaiah's car where he drove us to our homes.

When he stopped by my house, I went out of his car and soon that I noticed is that he got off as well.

I tilted my head towards him giving him a what-are-you-doing? Look.

He shrugs and smirked “I thought we we're having a lesson?” he asks.

Yeah right. The lesson. I thought.

I sigh in defeat and just gestured him to get inside which he quickly obliged.
