Chapter Seven

After a few hours of being in the car we finally arrive at the house we always stay in, every year we go away for a week and stay here. It's gonna be the first time in years that Ryan's gonna be with us and not just as my brother, but also my mate.

We pull up all climbing out Ryan and I go to the boot to get our stuff out while mum and dad unlock the door, I try to pick my bag up but Ryan does before I could.

"I'll carry it for you come on," he says walking towards the house making me smile and follow him in.

He carried them all the way up to my bedroom for me, putting my bag on my bed turning around to face me.

"You haven't really changed anything in here," he says looking around my room? I actually haven't thinking about it.

"Well I'm only here for one week for an entire year, so there's not much point, I've changed a few things but not much thanks by the way for carrying my bags up" I smile as he picks his bag up which he placed on the floor.

"I haven't seen my room in years," he says walking out, I follow behind his room was only next door.

"Mum always locks it so no one can go in," I say as he unlocks his bedroom door carrying his own bag in smiling as he does.

"Just how I left it" he smiles looking around, I haven't been in here since he left it did all look the same.

"It's nice for you to come with us again" I smile he turns the smile still on his face as my mum pops her head in the door.

"Getting settled in" she smiles walking into the room looking between us, which was my cue to leave.

"I better get going and sort my room out, I'll see you guys in a bit" I smile walking out Ryan's room and towards my own but Ryan stops me just as I got to my door.

"Mum and dad said they're just gonna get takeaway but I don't feel like that tonight, so I was wondering after we unpack we could go get something," he asks smiling, I know this was his way to ask me to dinner with him, which made me feel weird thinking about that.

"Yeah sure" I smile, he nods happily before walking back into his bedroom, I shake my head walking into my own bedroom smiling before I start unpacking my things.

I was getting ready to go out with Ryan? I didn't want to dress up if he wasn't gonna, I look through my clothes and see something that was dressy but not too dressy. It was a flowing red dress that stopped just above my knee it was perfect. After around half an hour I make my way downstairs to see Ryan standing by the door, he wore black skinny jeans with a white dress shirt tucked in, my father walks over to him passing something but I couldn't see what it was. Ryan finally looks up and notices me walking down the stairs his mouth just hangs open.

"I'd close that mouth you don't wanna catch flies" I smile making him shut his mouth instantly, as my mother walks out the kitchen.

"Aww look at you two, wait here I need to grab my camera," she says running towards the kitchen as I make it fully down the stairs to stand next to Ryan.

"I'll finally a nice photo of you Ryan as you didn't go to prom," she says turning it on but Ryan just sighs placing his hand around my shoulders for the photo.

"It was a few days after I found out Savannah was my mate, I couldn't take her with me so I didn't want to go with some other person that wasn't her," he says looking down at me smiling as a flash of a camera filled the room.

"What that moment was too cute not to take a photo, now smile," my mum says before taking a load of pictures.

We managed to leave the house away from our mother holding a camera as Ryan drives us somewhere, I actually didn't know where the heck we were even going at this point but I thought it was nice that he was surprising me.

"This next part you need to put this on," he says pulling a blindfold out of his pocket handing it to me.

"You just carry a blindfold around with you" I smile making him laugh a little as I take the blindfold out his hand.

"You never know when you might need one, now put it on we're nearly there" he smiles making me put the blindfold on covering my eyes.

We drive for a few more minutes until he stops the car climbing out having to help me as well I couldn't see anything, he walks behind me making sure I don't walk into anything or trip over. He makes us stop letting go of me but told me not to take the blindfold off yet, so I was standing somewhere just wearing a blindfold.

"Take it off now," he says after a few more minutes of me just standing in the middle of nowhere.

I slowly take the blindfold off to see a beautiful forest themed picnic right in the middle of the woods.

"I remembered you love nature so I set this up" he smiles as I take slow steps closer to the amazing place, it was so thoughtful of him.

"This is incredible thank you" I smile as he takes my hand sitting me down on a picnic blanket next to him.

"I got your favourite foods too," he says pulling all the snacks I love out a cute little picnic basket, I love all the little details.

"How long did this take you?" I smile looking around this looks perfect it must have taken him ages.

"Not long actually mum and dad helped, mum cooked the food while dad and I set all this up" he smiles, I'm gonna have to thank them when we get back, wait did I spent that long getting ready what the heck?

But in a few hours, I'd soon realise that seeing them again wouldn't be that easy.
