《Taken》Chapter 9 (Part two)
Advertisement
I stared at myself in the mirror as I anxiously smoothed out my dress. I wasn't sure what to wear so I thought something casual but nice would be good.
I was wearing a white dress with sleeves made of lace and the bottom half, there was a lace design also. Around my waist, there was a brown belt, to go along with my cowboy boots. Cowboy boot are very comfortable so don't knock them till you try them.
I didn't know why I was so nervous, I never felt this way before on any of my dates. Even on those I was barely nervous so why was I on this one? Tossing my thought aside, I thought I looked pretty good to myself. It wasn't one of my usual date clothes, which was unexpected, but I also felt like I should do something different and special just for Adam. I just hoped that he liked it.
Looking over at my clock, I started to panic. Only fifteen minutes left until he arrived! What will he think when he sees me like this? This can't be good enough! Taking deep breaths, I reminded myself it doesn't matter what he thinks of me as long as I like it. Plus, we've only known each other for one day so there was really no reason for me to get worked up over it.
I gathered myself together and slowly made my way out of my room and to the living room to wait for his arrival. My parents already knew that I was going out on a date so they decided that they all would go out and see a movie for the night. They had already left so they could get the cheaper tickets because it got so much more expensive the later you went when more people could go. I'd imagine them just sitting down and eating some popcorn right about now. But I suspected that they also went so that my annoying pest of a brother wouldn't bother me while I got ready.
The doorbell rang, causing me to shoot up from the couch and rush to the door like the house was on fire. Looking through the window on the door, I saw that Adam was standing there all nice and dressed up. He was in some blue jeans and a buttoned up dark green shirt looking as nervous as hell. I chuckled lightly and opened the door to him with a small smile.
Adam stood straight up as the door opened and gave me the most brilliant smile I ever saw. "Hi, um... you look lovely tonight Mia."
I grinned, "you don't look to bad yourself."
His hand came out from behind his back and a bouquet of flowers appeared, "this is for you. I wasn't sure what kind of flowers you liked so I got mostly one of everything and even two with some that I think are prettier."
I took them with a smile as I looked up at his face and he seemed to be flabbergasted after he said the word pretty like he has never said it before. I thought it was quite cute. "Thank you Adam, I love them all. I'll just go put them in a vase right now. You can come in if you'd like." I turned and went to the kitchen, quickly grabbing and finding a vase as Adam followed me in the house.
As I sat the vase in the center of the table for now to bring to my room later after I got home, I asked him, "so, what do you have planned for tonight?"

"You'll just have to wait and see."
I turned to face him to see a smirk on his face. I rolled my eyes and replied, "alright then, since you're not going to answer me, we might as well get going." I was dying to know what it was but I just walked out the door instead and headed towards the truck that he had shown up in.
Before I could open the door, he rushed ahead of me and opened it for me. I gave him a smile as I climbed in and he shut the door after I was in. He then rushed to the other side, quickly climbing in, and driving out of my long driveway.
I just stared out the window as he drove to who knows where. We were going deep into the mountains, the road all curvy and rocky. Why were we going out here? There wasn't anything to do out here deep in the mountains, not that I knew of at least.
"Close your eyes," Adam suddenly spoke. I looked at him surprised but did what I was told.
He soon parked and I waited in anticipation as I heard his door slam shut and my door open only a couple seconds later.
He picked me up and I squealed, earning a chuckle for him. When he didn't put me down on my feet, I told him, "I can walk myself you know."
Adam only laughed, "and how will you do that? You can't open your eyes and see where you're putting your feet. It's best if I carry you."
I only grumbled but suspected that I wouldn't be winning this fight, so I just held onto him by my arms around his neck as he carried me to who knows where.
It seemed like forever but also not long enough when he finally put me down and directed me a couple more feet before saying, "okay, you can open your eyes now."
I opened my eyes and saw something truly amazing, something I hadn't been expecting at all. A picnic table was set up with a white table cloth and two plates on top. There were also candles to light up the place on the table and all around it. Beyond this was a beautiful lake only twenty or thirty feet away, I was never the best at telling distance, at least when it's long.
The lake was so pretty with the moon shining down and reflecting on it and trees all around it as if framing it in a pretty picture.
"It's so beautiful," I answered in awe, "nobody's ever done anything like this for me before."
"Good," Adam said, "because I plan on doing many things nobody has ever done for you before."
There was something in the way he said it that had made her shiver in delight and make her blush. Before she could think or say anything else, he asked, "shall we eat now?"
I slowly nodded and he led me over to the picnic table and let me sit down. He crossed over to the other side and sat down across from me.
"So what did you bring to eat?" I asked as if I couldn't tell already from the smell.
"This," he said with a smile as he brought a sack up from under the table and opened the contents to some fried chicken. This just so happened to be one of my favorite foods.
"Do you like it?" he suddenly asked worried thinking I may not like chicken.

"I love it, now hand it over. I want some." He chuckled and did as I said and quickly fished out the legs and wings from it so he couldn't have them. They were my favorite, especially the legs.
I dug into my food, not worried about my dress because of the napkins that came with the chicken, as Adam brought out some fruit. Fresh cut pineapple. Oh how I loved pineapple but I was beginning to suspect how he knew some of my favorite foods. Probably just a coincidence. I put some of that on my plate and continued to eat.
As we ate, we talked about random stuff like what our favorite things were and all that cliche stuff because well honestly, I didn't know what to ask. I've never really been on many dates before.
But I did learn some interesting things about him like how he had a younger sister who likes horses too and really all types of animals. She didn't seem to be afraid of any kind according to him.
When I asked him what his biggest fear was though he seemed to pause. "Losing my family," he answered after a few seconds. He looked straight at me as he said it and I suspected something else but didn't point it out.
I looked back at the lake and had the urge to go jump in like I had been doing all night.
As if seeing my longing, Adam asked, "do you want to go in?"
I blushed and shook my head, "no, I'm fine."
"Are you sure? Because you've been staring at it every few minutes as if you wanted to go in."
I wasn't going to admit the face that I did but I was just to scared to because Adam was here and I would just be in my undergarments if I went in. I barely even knew him so I was most definitely not comfortable it. So I said nothing as I looked down at my hands.
Adam chuckled and stood up, "there's no reason to be embarrassed, trust me. Now come on. Let's go in. If you don't go in by yourself, I'll throw you in there myself so you have to be in there."
Not wanting to be thrown in there with all my clothes on so I would have nothing dry to get into later, I started taking off my boots, belt, and hat. I knew Adam wasn't lying when he said he would throw me in there no matter what I was wearing if I didn't go in myself.
As I slowly zipped down the back of my dress, I saw Adam strip down to only his boxers. I blushed as he turned to me as my dressed slipped off my body and I laid it down on the seat so I wouldn't get it dirty.
I heard a low growl and looked up at Adam only to see his eyes darker than usual. But it was gone as soon as I saw it as if I'd imagine it.
He stalked towards me and I backed up a few steps. I tilted my head up so I could see better as he came right up to me. He pulled me to him and I shivered in delight as my bare skin came in contact with his. My legs quivered and something I've never felt before heat up in between my legs. He closed his eyes and murmured, "you smell so good kitten." He then opened his eyes again and said, "you look so beautiful too."
I blushed beat read. If just the fact that my skin touches his, what would it be like with no clothes at all and- stop that Mia, you can't think like that. You just met the guy. Before I could say anything, he picked me up by throwing me over his shoulder and ran to the lake.
This made my situation worse for I could feel his hot breath on the back of my legs with his head tilted them. I struggled in his hold and demanded he let me down but he did no such thing.
Then I was suddenly in the lake as I let out with scream before going under the water.
I emerged above only to find Adam laughing as I glared at him. Wanting revenge, I swam towards him and tried pushing him down in the water but he wouldn't budge. I glowered at him as he pulled me towards him with a laugh.
"That's wasn't nice," I scowled at him and pushed myself away.
"I know, but I just couldn't resist."
I dove under and grabbed his leg, pulling it out from under him. I came up laughing. He soon emerged and shot me a look. "I'm sorry, I just couldn't resist," I copied.
He jumped at me and we both went under.
This went on for another half hour before we decided to get out. Adam said he would be right back and came back a few moments later with a couple blankets. He laid one down in the grass and we air dried as we looked up at the stars with a smile.
I unconsciously moved myself closer to him and was soon laying my head on his chest. I've never felt like this before to anyone so fast. And the times when I came close to being like this with someone, they left me for someone better. I could only hope Adam was different because I already felt attached to him after only one day.
I didn't want this night to end but sadly, we had to be getting back for it was almost eleven already. It didn't matter when I got home at least because I was an independent person and my own adult I just happened to live with my parents because it was going to be my farm one day and I wanted to live there for the rest of my life.
As he dropped me off and walked me to the door, I turned and said to him, "thank you. That was probably the best night of my life."
Adam only smiled at me. "I'm glad. So, when should we do this again?"
"Are you asking me on another date, Adam?" I grinned.
"Absolutely," he smirked.
"Well, if you come over for lessons tomorrow, we can discuss more later."
"Oh, don't worry, I'll be there. I promise."
"I'll hold you to that," I grinned. I turned around and walked in the house but not before calling out, "be here by one!"
I only imagined his face that night as I went to sleep.
