t's the day before we go home, and Reece and I have our date tonight, I'm just hoping it goes how I planned.
"Thinking about me again are we?" I felt a body brush past me, I knew without looking it was Reece.
"You wish," I snorted unattractively.
"I don't have to wish River," he laughed, I wanted to defend myself, but I'm a bad liar what can I say.
"So, where are we going tonight ?" I chirped up, thinking about the date.
"It's a surprise," he winked, causing me to hyperventilate. Wow, I sound like such a teenager.
"I don't like surprises," I whined, causing him to sigh.
"Do you want to go?" He asked annoyance clear in his voice.
"I do, why do you not want to go anymore," I asked bowing my head in disappointment.
"Of course I do," he said softly, "just wait, please," he spoke so gently I wanted to cry.
"Just give me a teeeeeeney tinnnny hint." When he scowled at me, I decided then it was time to close my mouth.
"Do you have any apples?" I decided to ask to break the awkward silence.
"Their right in front of you?" He said, looking straight at them.
"Oh," I said, my cheeks turning red.
"Are you not going to have one?" He looked so confused.
"Nope," I said, popping the 'p', "I just wanted to know if you had any," I got up, and went straight to our room, closing the door. "You're such an i***t River," I said to myself. How could I be so silly? Oh no I was just wondering if you had any, I am so stupid.
"River?" A knock came from the door.
"Come in," I said weakly.
"Hey," Reece said quietly.
"Do you want something?" Well that came out harsher than intended.
"You." He said, then came over and kissed me. I couldn't help but stand their in shock for a second, but it wasn't long before I kissed him back. The kiss got extremely intense, that his hand even slipped up my top without me realising. I can't sleep with him again before our first date, can I?
I got so lost in my thoughts I didn't even notice him pull away.
"Don't worry, I just needed a small taster," he winked, then created a reasonable amount of space between us.
"A taster of what?" I asked, confuse by this.
"What it felt like to be some bit intimate with you, by the way, it's great," he gave a genuine smile, then left. I let out a very shaky breath as soon as he left. The affect he has on me is getting out of control.
•~•~•
"So, are you going to tell me where we're going now?" I asked for the twentieth time, as Reece lead me blind folded on the horse.
"River please, just shut up for two seconds." I knew I was annoying him, but like I said previously, I hated surprises.
"River?" I continued to ignore him, no one snaps at me and gets away with it.
"River please talk to me," he pleaded. Nah b***h, I ain't going to talk to you now.
"FINE, I'm sorry," he sighed.
"It's fine," I chirped up, now that I got an apology out of him. "So, where are we going," I asked happily.
"We'll be their in a few seconds, just hush, please."
"Fine," I huffed, crossing me arms.
"And we are FINALLY here," he said, he sounded so happy it even made me happier than I already was.
"Really, can I take off my blindfold?" I went to reach for it, but two hands grabbed my wrists gently, preventing me from taking it off. "What noooow?" I whined.
"Let me do it, isn't that how they do it in books and movies, it apparently makes it, 'more romantic'," he removed his hands from my wrists when saying 'more romantic, so I'm guessing he used the air quotation marks, because he brought his hands straight back to my wrists afterwards.
"Okay, come down now." He put a hand behind my waist, and one around my shoulders lifting me down from the horse.
He stood behind me, and slowly lifted the blindfold. This would usually be the moment in a movie where I would cringe, but now that it was actually happening I felt the butterfly's explode in my stomach.
"Reece," I breathed in shock, as I saw the display laid out before me. It was a gorgeous picnic, with fast food laid out.
"I can't cook, so I said I'd get some pizza and chips, is that ok?" He asked, looking down embarrassed.
"Reece, it's perfect." I went over and wrapped my arms around him, embracing him into a passionate hug.
"What's that for," he asked, his cheeks going pink.
"I was than-, wait, are you blushing?" I asked him surprised.
"No," he said looking down.
"Yes you are," I said pointing at his blushing face.
"Shut up," he huffed continuing to look down, "it was just unexpected."
"Aw the poor baba," I cooed, pinching his cheeks, he swatted my hand away of course.
"Come on, let's get on with this date," he said, while dragging me over to the bed sheet he lay down as a blanket. It was actually so romantic.
"Reece, you really didn't have to go to all this trouble," I said while sitting down on the blanket.
"I got fast food, a few beers, a fancy basket, a blanket, a DVD player and a candle," he laughed, "honestly River, I would have gone to more trouble, just I've never really gone on a date and you don't seem like the type of girl that wants big fancy restaurants, that's a compliment," he smiled another genuine smile.
"Thank you," I kissed him on the cheek, then reached over for a bottle of bulmers, and grabbed a slice of pizza, this date was beyond perfect.

"You're such an i***t," I laughed uncontrollably, I couldn't help it, Reece has me in hysterics.
"BABY! BABY! BABY! OHHHH!" I continued to laugh as he screeched out Justin Bieber. How couldn't I? This was hysterically funny.
"JOIN ME RIVER!" He screeched.
"BABY! BABY! BABY! OHHHH," he screeched again. He may have gotten a little drunk, but I can't say much, a few bottles turned into a bit more than I expected.
"River baby," he came over to me, "you are SO beautiful," he slurred, while caressing my face.
"Thanks Reece," I laughed, taking a hold of his hand.
"And if anyyyone," he slurred, pointing a finger at me, "and I mean anyyyooonnee ok?" He said grabbing my face, "tries to hurt you, you come a tell Reecey," he slapped a hand against his chest, gesturing to himself, "and I will knock them out." I couldn't take it anymore, I burst into fits of laughter.
"Thanks Reecey," I laughed.
"Reecey?" He stopped for a minute, as his face went dead serious, "that's what you called me the first night," I froze for a second, he remembered. "I never forgot it River, ever." Don't listen to him, he's drunk, don't let him play with your emotions River.
"Come on, let's sing some more," I changed the subject as quick as I could, which was fine because we did continue to sing for the rest of the night.

"You're so sexy," Reece said, as he kissed down my neck, causing me to moan.
"So are you," I moaned.
"Please River," he said huskily.
"Please what?" I said teasingly.
"You know what," he said.
"Do I?" I replied.
I knew what was going to happen, we were going to sleep together.
For the second time,
This time we were both sobered up.
Shit.
