60 Outing { 6 }

Finishing the meal, we kept the tray in bin and walked out of the mall.

"Great, we spent exactly 2 hours in there." he said, checking his watch.

We went and put our shopping bags in car trunk.

"Where are we going now?" I asked Ryan when i saw him locking the car again.

"We are not riding the car, we are walking around this area." Ryan said, holding out a hand to help me out walk together with him.

He held onto it like a delicate porcelain hand which will break into pieces if he exert even slight pressure. His palms were warm and welcoming.

I liked holding his hand and loved all of those moments that we held hand.

We walked around the block, window shopping. It was interesting. This place was almost like New York in the summer. It was busying and everyone seem to know where they are going. It was hot with a cold breeze flowing in mid summer. I really liked it here.

"Come in here!" Ryan said, pulling me towards a old and small building.

"Here?"

"Yeah."

The building was dirty and dark and the stairs were uneven. And it smelled like wet dog in there. There were big graffiti among the grey and dull yellow walls.

'What is this place that Ryan would be taking me into??' I thought as I continued looking around with curiosity.

A really dim light flickered on certain door. It's kind of weird that people live here.

We continued climbing up the stairs until we reached a big red door, that had a graffiti with the word bitch.

"Wow, what a place." I said, looking at Ryan.

"Like you said, don't be judgemental. This place is better than it is seemed." Ryan said, looking at me.

I nodded and spoke as sarcastically as possible, "Yep, nice place, full of beauties, just love this place."

"Just shut up." he said with dark expression.

I laughed as he ignored me.

"Are you ready for it?" He asked while pulling me towards the door.

Before I even replied, he opened the door and I gasped.

This place was not bad at all.

"What did I say?" Ryan asked with smugness.

God, why does he always have to win? Why does he have to always prove me wrong? I thought as I blushed.

Again, he grabbed my hand and took me to the edge of the building to watch the sunset.

"You said that you want to watch more sunsets together with me, right?" he asked.

He remembered . . . he thought about it . . .

'ISN'T HE THE BEST? THOUGHTFUL? SWEET? CARING?' Adrianne said hiding the squeal in her voice.

I blushed,

"You still remember?" I asked hiding me smitten face.

He turned around, scratching his head, "I guess."

Seeing his innocent and warm face, i had a adrenaline rush which made me hug him from behind. The heat from his body made me feel warm in the evening chilled air.

My heart started thumping and my stomach felt like butterflies all over inside just by having him in my arms. It felt nice.

"Thanks." I said, pulling away after realizing what i did.

He cleared his throat feeling god knows what feelings after the sudden touch from me. With blank face he said, "Your welcome."

I couldn't tell what he was thinking or feeling, his face was so straight with no recognizable emotions. I felt guilty and started regretting for my mistake.

"Come." he said, shaking me out of my thoughts.

He sat on the edge of the building. My mouth opened but I couldn't speak.

"You wouldn't fall, trust me. I've been here plenty of times." he said, smirking.

With the sun right behind, his beauty was inhuman, butterflies in my stomach started to rise again.

I walked up to him and he helped me sit down.

"What if I fall?" I asked.

"I'll fall with you." He said abruptly.

I stared at him for a few moment. I don't know if he was telling the truth or not.

He was like a mask. You are never certain what was really was underneath his mask.

"Are you serious?" I asked him, staring at his eyes. His eyes drowned me in them. They were electric blue with a hint of gold.

He closed the distance between our faces and whispered "I am serious."

I could feel his breath against my skin and I shivered a little.

I looked away immediately as staring at his eyes for a long time makes me feel exposed. Like he could see every single flaw in my life, like he could see my memories, like he could see right through me.

"Just don't look down and can you close your eyes for a second?" he asked..
