"Oh really? I always get what I want sweetheart."
"But you are never gonna get me." I kick him in his family jewels. He falls to the ground. I sit on him and continuously punch him in the face. His nose started to bleed and he was about to pass out...
He keeps a steady hand on my waist as he slowly guides me to where ever he is taking me.
"Okay. Here we go." He says as he removes the blindfold.
"Wow!"

"You like it?" He asks bouncing on his feet.
"No I don't." I reply still stunned that he would go to such a length for just a date.
"What?" He asks dejected.
"I love it you idiot." I say turning to him with a big grin on my face.
"Good. You better. Cause I spent a lot of sweat, blood and time on it."
"Oh stop being so dramatic babe."
"Come on let's go." He says as he drags me to sit down.
"Did you do all of this by yourself?" I ask him still not able to believe that this ass could be romantic.
"Do you remember this place?" He asks as he ignores my question.
I slowly start to take in my surroundings when I realize that this is the same park we had met at.
"Yes I do. It is sad that it's abandoned after that rumour spread. This was the biggest park here."
"You and I both know that was no rumour princess."
"Yeah well, but most people would like to believe so."
"That's only becuase no one really wants to talk about a gruesome murder now, do they."
"Why don't you go ask that to Ashton's dad? He'll be mighty pleased to talk about all of it." I say scoffing.
"Aira, baby can we please not talk about Ashton or his dad or murder tonight." He pleads.
"I'm sorry. It's just that you know, he was the reason for my brother's..." I trail off.
He simply nods and grabs my towards the set-up.
"So would you like to have the honour of feeding this beast?" I ask him pointing to my stomach with a cheeky smile.
"Oh well, what would the princess like?" He asks playing along.
"What ever my knight would deem tasty."
"Your knight, huh." He says smirking.
"Yes. Now feed me." I demand.
With that he takes out an icecream tub from the cooler. He opens it and sits right beside me, feeding me and him eating at the same time all the while enjoying the peacefulness around us.
"You know, I just realized you know so much more about me than I do about you which is seriously so darn unfair."
"Well, what does her highness want to know?" He asks amused by my sudden declaration.
"Well for starters, tell me about your family."
As soon as I said that I felt him stiffen and get tensed but he calmed himself after mere seconds when he replied after letting out a small sigh.
"I have a younger sister whom you have already met. An older brother. A mom and dad of course. I haven't seen both my brother and father since years. Mom, Lilliana and I stay here while my dad and brother stay on the other side of the state." He says gazing up at he stars.
"Do you miss them?" I ask him instead of asking why were they living separately because I had a feeling it was a sour topic for him.
"Yes I do. A lot actually. Before you ask, no, my parents aren't divorced. We just don't live together due to some safety reasons."
I don't question him further. We just lay on our backs looking up at the dark starry sky with empty icecream tubs all around us.
*********
I was now at home. All alone after Aiden had dropped me. He didn't want to leave me all alone but I had forced him to go. I needed some time to think over everything that happened today.
Believe me when I say I am ecstatic. But the feeling of getting attached to someone dreaded me.
Don't get me wrong. I haven't had any dramatic incidents that lead to that fear of mine. It was just always there. I mean first Justin, I know he didn't exactly leave me but he kinda did cause he is not with me now. Then there was Xavier, not anywhere I can see him again. Then my parents, they didn't just lose just one child that night but three. Here I was all alone in this big, empty mansion.
All the unhappy thoughts brought the sadness out of me again. I didn't want to feel this way. I mean we had lot's of fun today. Most importantly I was happy and he most definelty did not give me any reason to doubt him. But all I suddenly wanted to do was punch something or someone badly. I wanted to head down to those streets and get into that damn ring again.
But, I also didn't want to see the look of disappointment on Noah's face, or the sad look on Kai's or the angry look on Ava's or hear the guilty voice of my brother who thinks he had abandoned me in this big building. Most importantly I didn't want Aiden worrying about me. I did not want to be a burden to him.
With a new determined thought I forced myself up he stairs to my room. I showered and changed and then got into my bed.
I truly did enjoy myself tonight. It was nice of him to put so much thought into it. I know we kissed when we were kids. We didn't even know what love was back then. All I know was Aiden was lost that day and that I was a bright shine of hope, warm sunshine to him then. It doesn't matter we were kids. All that matters was that it felt right. It was something that our innocent minds couldn't forget. It sparked something unknown in the both of us. Eight year old me had felt so happy and satisfied with herself when she had brought a bright smile on eight year old Aiden. It made a weird warm bubble of happiness explode seeing him happy.
With those thoughts of that beautiful green eyed human I feel fast asleep.
