-Blake's Perspective-
I'm finally gonna ask her.
I'm gonna ask my best friend, my first love, the only one who truly understands me, to be mine.
God! I sound so corny. Man I'm whipped and I don't need anyone to say otherwise.
I woke up last night around 11:00 and thought it was time for me to go home. I walked out of the house and started reminiscing about how Autumn and I first met. I laugh to myself, I knew I'd love her for the rest of my life. Something about her just makes my heart race. She doesn't know it but today is the day, I have it all planned out, I've had it planned out for a while now.
I ended up at her doorstep, it's almost sunset and my throat suddenly felt dry and I think I'm sweating. I pull out my key and go inside. Yeah I know what you're thinking but we've been best friends since we were five. I head to her room and can hear her singing, I pulled out my phone I am not missing this opportunity,
"Cause all I know is we said, 'Hello' and your eyes look like coming home oohh all I know is a simple name everything has changed oohh all I know is you held the door you'll be mine and I'll be yours oohh all I know since yesterday is everything has changed!" she sings at the top of her lungs. She bounces around on her bed and flip her hair in a very dramatic way. She's staring at something while singing but I can't see what it is. She suddenly gets up and uses her crutches and goes to her bathroom.
I sneak into her room and stay by the dresser. It becomes dead silent I start to worry until she kicks the door open using her crutch and screams out more trashy lyrics of Taylor Swift. I hold back snort until she starts to fall over.
I run to her a catch her before she hit the ground.
"Blake! Oh my god you scared me." Autumn looks at me. I stare at her and completely zone out. She's so beautiful. Her perfect brown hair that could be mistaken for black. Her brown eyes, but in the sunlight they turn hazel. Her 5'6 body has no comparison to my 6'5 bruteness.
"Blake? Blaaake? Blake!" I snap out of it when she yells at me.
"Huh? What?" I ask confused mostly cause I was staring at her.
"I asked you how long have you been here." She ask with worry on her face.
"Not long," I reply as her cheeks start to redden. She was embarrassed about her singing. Maybe she didn't how beautiful she sounded. "But I think Taylor would kinda impressed with that singing." I smile at her.
"Oh stop it you saw all that!" Autumn covers her face. She looks up curious washes over her face. "What are you doing here?"
"Oh! We are going out today!" I say to her hoping to get an approval.
"Whyyyy?" she whines at me.
"Becauuusssee!" I whine back. "Because I have something special for you tonight so dress cmfy pretty." I tell her.
"Okay fine, so what are we doing today, or should I get the blindfold?" she ask sarcasm falling from her lips.
"No get the blindfold. We're going to need it."
"Ugh!" Autumn responds. She stomps into her closet and my gaze starts to wonder around. I notice a picture of us on her dresser. Was this what she was staring at? No. Could she feel the same? I shake my head, I'm overthinking again.
"Okay I'll leave ya to get ready. Oh and bring extra clothes!" I walk downstairs and wait for her.
-Half and Hour Later-
-Autumn's Perspective-
"Okay I'm ready Blake let's go!" I have a bag of clothes and try to beat Blake to the car so I don't have to wear the blindfold. These stupid crutches are so slow and tiring. I almost reach the door when a tall hard body comes in front of me.
"Where do you think you're going?" Blake whispers into my ear, weirdly leaving shivers down my spine. I then start to wonder why every time we're this close I get this sudden pulling feeling. I shake the thought away and look up.
"No where I was just gonna wait on the porch for you." I try fibbing but I can tell he knows I'm lying. I smile softly at Blake when he quirks an eyebrow at me.
"All right but before we leave let's put this on you." He snatched the blindfold and gently puts it on me, his fingers send chills down my body. Why am I feeling this way? "Okay now let's go!" He seems excited.
"I wonder what we're doing today?" I say to myself.
"You wonder a lot you know that?" Blake comments on me. I giggle knowing what he meant by that. We head to the car and I am placed in the passenger seat.
I miss driving my jeep, I had it personally styled to look like Style's jeep from Teen Wolf. I'm a geek for Teen Wolf, Grey's Anatomy and N.C.I.S. to be fair they're really good shows.
I buckle up and told Blake to play the radio. I feel us pull out of the drive way and start on the road.
-30 minutes-
It felt like an hour had passed, but when Blake told me the time only thirty minutes had passed. The car had finally come to a stop and I hear Blake get out and open my door.
"What a gentleman," I pat Blake's hand when I get out of the car, only for him to slap my ass. I jump surprised at his action, I start to blush thank god this blindfold cover most of my face. We walk quite a distance and when he stops and helps me sit down.
"Okay I'm gonna take you're the blindfold off now." Blake's hands untie the blindfold and I open my eyes to a beautiful lake and picnic on the docks. I see candles and a basket.
"Blake this is beautiful," I look around in awe.
"Not as beautiful as you," he mumbles but I heard him. I start to redden and my body feels all tingly.
Was he talking to me? Of course he was Autumn you're the only one here with him. I look up to see Blake staring at me.
I look down at the basket and feel my body become completely red. I open the basket and pull out the first dish, "We are eating sandwiches and fruit, then we'll get ice cream later," Blake tells me while I take out all the food. I nod my head and start to eat, the one thing about Blake that I love is that I can eat like a pig and he doesn't mind.
We play some games and sang some songs, the was finally setting and it looks to beautiful. I turn to Blake who suddenly got up and started stripping all the way to his underwear. Don't get me wrong Blake is an athlete so of course his body is fit. I stare up at him confused.
He looks at me, "Let's go for a swim." My eyes got big.
"What?"
"Come on I'll hold cause you can't really swim yet," Blake pulls me up.
"Fine," I slowly start to strip my clothes and Blake just stares at my eyes the whole time. Now that's control, I must say I had quite the body for a seventeen year old girl. I got stared at everywhere I went.
He picks me up after I just in my underwear and we slowly head to the water. There's something about the way his skin feels on mine. Like it's on fire. Is he feeling this too? He sets me down on the edge of the dock and jumps in. I laugh at his immaturity.
He resurfaces and swims to me. His hands touch my thighs and I shiver from the cold.
"It's okay, I've got you," he whispers. I slowly nod and pick myself up and go into his arms. He wraps my legs around his waist and holds me close. My breathing gets labored as our faces are but centimetres away.
I turn my head towards the sunset, I can feel him staring at me. It makes me feel all weird, what is this feeling. The water isn't even cold anymore from how hot I feel right now. We both decided it was time to pack up and head to Mick Friday's for ice cream.
He had towels in his car so we just sat on those.
We got our ice cream and said hi to Miss Melinda. We are now parked in a park not far from home.
We're sitting in the back of his truck watching the stars and laughing. I felt so at peace and happy.
I snuggled into Blake's chest to keep me warm. I could feel his heart race speed up and then calm down. What the heck does that mean? It became dead silent. I turned my head to look at Blake, our faces were once again centimetres away. I froze my eyes shifting from his lips and his eyes. Before I could comprehend what was happening his lips were on mine.
