'And I'm just lucky enough that that girl can actually be me—Lauren.'
~Lauren's POV~
I opened my eyes at last and there stood Zach with that dumb smile of his that I have fallen in love with.
All of a sudden a voice said, "I thought you two were not together."
It was the older man that took our picture from before probably here because we got out of the room.
"Welp," Zach started, "we aren't sure right now but hopefully we will be soon!"
He grasps my hand in his and I just look up to smile at him. We walk out and Zach pays for the escape room as we exit.
"So..." I trail as a question.
"I'm sorry I kissed you...was it not the right time or somethi-" Zach says.
"It was perfect," I hold his face in my hands gently.
"But," I laugh as I once again hold Zach's hand walking towards his car, "it was hilarious when you were scared if those porcelain dolls!"
"How rude!" he protests.
"Not my problem," I laugh, "but now I know how to prank you...and prank you good!"
"No," Zach protests loudly, "No, No, NO, please!"
I just chuckle and eventually so does he.
We finally hop into Zach car and he starts it up.
"Ok look," Zach says out of nowhere while driving, "girlfriends have come and gone for me and with all of them I have never felt the way I have with you before. I would always just plainly ask them if they wanted to be my girlfriend. Now that I have kissed you I'm not sure how to go about this. I mean we've know each other for some time now if you count the whole texting situation."
I just laugh as he continues, "I really want you as mine. You're sweet, funny, caring, loving, beautiful, and so much more that would take me hours to look up all those words. That's why I'm bringing you here. Where I have brought no one else. So please just stay silent until the moment is right...and you'll know when that is!"
I nod my head while blushing as Zach pulls down a deserted road and parks the car. At first all I see is dirt.
Zach comes over to my side of the car and opens my door helping me out. I thank him and we hold hands walking down the dirt road in silence as he asked.
That's when I see something incredibly beautiful. Simple but in my eyes marvelous.
A little black colored bench that has garden designs in it and it is surrounded by healthy looking grass and beautiful flowers of all different kinds.
It almost looked untouched by man. Just this.
Zach leads me over to sit on the bench next to him. I just look around.
I start out, "Thi-" but Zach shushes me.
H turns my head to look at him.
"This is the start of something new (I'm counting on someone to comment) but only if you want it to be...Lauren Cassedy James...will you be my girlfriend?"
"Anything with or for you I'm all in!" I exclaim.
He stands up from the bench as do I and I jump wrapping my legs around his waist and placing a wonderful first official kiss on his lips.
