Chapter Nine

"So where we off too" I turn my head towards her. She gives me a huge gummy smile, "I was thinking the lake would be great to start our day" I chuckle, nodding my head to her. Starting the car up, we head to our destination.

A couple of minutes with comfortable silence, I decided to spark up a conversation. "So, Madam President, huh?" I give her a quick glance with a smirk. She lets out a light laugh, "Yeah, what about it?" Turns her body towards me. "Oh nothing, I just wouldn't have thought you would be into that" I give her another quick glance. She scoffs, "And why is that?" She asks me.

Stopping at a red light, I turned to look at her, and she has her eyebrows rises in a challenging manner with a smirk. I smile back at, loving this sassy side of her, "I'm just saying that you were never a goodie two shoes when we were kids. Anyone who came across you became victims to your crazy pranks" I tell her.

She busts out laughing and playful smacks my arm, "that's not true" she says with a high pitch. The light turns green "No that's not true, they were harmful jokes" she says lying through her teeth. "What! Please girl, do you call burning bag of shit and putting it on poor Mr. Logan doorsteps because he didn't donate to your safe the otter's foundation" I tell her?

She covers her face laughing, "it wasn't that bad" she says. My mouth drops and look at her in disbelief, "wasn't that bad! Adrian, you gave the man third-degree burns" I yell at her. "I know" she whines, "I felt so bad, I cooked for him three months straight" she says. "Yeah, then you got him fat" I tell her laughing, and she joins with me.

Finally making it to the lake, it looks pretty packed here. Let's hope we don't get interrupted from any of these people. I shut the car down and turn to her, "you ready" she asked me. I let the air out that I was holding in and nod. "Okay" she says, grabbing the handle to the door, I stop her by grabbing her thigh.

She looks at me confused, I shake my head and pat my chest, "I got it" I smile at her getting out the car. I run to the other side and open her door. "Oh wow, such a gentlewoman" she chuckles getting out of the car. "Yeah yeah come on" I laugh wrapping my arm around her shoulders. We start to walk, but then she stops me, "wait". She walks back to the car and goes towards the back and gets a basket.

She skips back to me and locks her arm around mine." How did you get that in there?" I look down at her, confused." I got my ways bear" she laughs leading me towards the sand.

We finally find a spot on this packed lake. Adrian takes out a blanket from the basket and spread the blanket out across the sand. Getting on the blanket, I lay down on my back and close my eyes. The warm sun feels so good on my face.

A finger pokes my cheek, "are you sleeping" she whispers next to my ear. "Shush. I'm trying to enjoy the sun, Adrian" I tell her putting my arms behind my head. She slaps my stomach, "ow! Why did you that Adrian" I laugh holding my stomach? She starts punching, but it doesn't really hurt "stop calling me that" she whines, still punching. "What your name?" I ask her sarcastically. "Stop!" She whines out then hitting me more.

"Sorry, Sorry" I laugh at her then grabbing her and pull her down on top of me. I wrap my arms around and squeeze her tight, "Man I missed you" I say burying my face in her neck. It's true I definitely missed her, she was one of the best things that happened to me before I left this place.

"I know I missed you too, Bear" she buries her face in my chest. I pat her back and sit up, so does she. "So what, you've been up two?" I ask, looking at the view of people fishing. "Nothing really. You know me just plain Jane" I snapped my neck at her, not believing a damn thing that came out her mouth. "Now you and me both know you're the farthest thing to a plain Jane" I laugh at her, and she joins in "Yeah you're right" she says.

"Well you know I'm president and captain of the softball team, dad had me in a lot of clubs once I got to high school" she says looking down at her nails. I shake my head a little and look at her, "I wanted to hear about you and not your dad. What clubs did you join? Are you happy?" I ask her. She chuckles, "Yes Bear, I'm happy. I'm president of another club it's called BSU, it means Black Student Union. It's a really great club." She has a massive smile while telling me this, and I smile too.

We've been here for a while catching up and talking, well, she's been talking, and I've been listening to her. I look at my watch and I see that we've been here for an hour and half. "Have I been boring you" I look down at her, and she has a questionable look. "No, no, no" I said shaking my head, "I was just thinking we've been here for a while. What's the next destination you have planned for us" I start to pack the stuff she brought with us.

"Yeah we have been here for a while" she gets up, and I do the same "I was thinking we can go to Johnny's Fun house" she folds up the blanket and putting it back in the basket. I nod my head and start to walk, she catches up, puts her arm around mine as we walk. "Damn, what a weird name to call an arcade" she starts to laugh hard, holding my arm tight. "What it's true it sounds like a pedophile dungeon or something like that" at this point we stop because she's dying of laughter, that's my favorite part is hearing her laugh, especially if I'm the reason.

"Oh my gosh!! You're so dumb" she wipes the tears from her eyes. We get to the car and I put the stuff in the truck, then I open the door for her. She has a light smile, and she mumbles a small thank-you. I finally get in the car and I turn to look at her, and she's already looking at me with a smile, I smile back at her then turn on the car.

"Off to the dungeon" I start to back out. She burst out laughing, "I hate you".
