Chapter 20 - dream date

I watched the calmness that filled her face as she plastered a permanent smile; it looked so real and genuine that I doubt she cares about the paparazzi. She looked like an appeased child; it was. Like her inner child was being fulfilled, her happy energy just powers the place as she went closer to the lake, and I bent to unbuckle the straps of her shoes, and she dipped it in the water as she inhaled and exhaled. The look on her face made me feel fulfilled, and her happy smile played in my face. I can not remember the last time I smiled like this, so real, so pure, so fucking raw.

She asked like her eyes were behind her head; it is a pendant with a little encryption to it, and I want us to rock it, I said with a light chuckle, as she faced her back to me with an indication to put the necklace on. Her neck is sexy, my subconscious suddenly said, and I just sighed because my head and mind have been acting up lately, and I just have been too exhausted to engage with them. Your turn, she said as a smile played on her face. She placed mine on my neck as I suddenly heard her curse and scream, Duck!
