We were driving in silence, not awkward me and Karl are neve awkward together, it was a comfortable silence, at one point we took a turn to somewhere I have never seen before and my curiosity got the best of me and I asked him

"Karl where are we going" I laugh

"you're just going to have to wait and see I told you it would be a surprise," he says squeezing my hand which he is holding, I roll my eyes because he knows I hate surprises but he's definitely the only exception.

we finally stop in front of a forest.

"where are we?" I ask him he just smiles steps out of the car and comes over and opens my car, grab my hand, and leads me into this forest

"I hope you are not kidnapping me, Karl," I say with a laugh

"never," he says and smiles, we walk in silence for about another 3 minutes before Karl says something

"that's the outfit" I stop walking out of confusion and look down at what I'm wearing

"what do you mean?" I ask him, he smiles and makes me keep walking pulling me to his side

"that's what you were wearing when I asked for your number" he replies

"how do you even remember that, I was just a random girl you talked to for a challenge" I say

"I didn't pick you for no reason, I picked you because I thought you were gorgeous and that was a perfect opportunity to get your number" I blush and giggle at his statement, he does his little giggle too and we keep walking.

 it was only another minute walk until we emerge from the forest to a big field, I gasp when I see it

"you didn't!" I say running towards the hot air balloon sitting on the grass about 15 feet away, I've always wanted to go in one every since I was a child because that was what my parent's first date was.

"well you said you've always wanted to and I thought I could make it special instead of just going with a random dude who is getting paid to take you on a ride, it wouldn't be very enjoyable," he says I run and jump into his arms, kissing him on the cheek. we walk back over to it when I realize something and ask


"Hey Karl do you even know how to work this"

"ya me and my dad used to go on them all the time and when I turned 13 he taught me how to do it, by 14 I could go by myself" he replies stepping into the basket me right behind him

"that's so cool," I say. he starts it up and we go up and around for a while talking about the most random things, like how me and Elle pretended to work at Krispy Kreme and got a bunch of free donuts and then quit the next day, or when Karl got mad at his teacher and left class seeing his friend in the bathroom and switching classes with his friend and ended up getting suspended.

 we look at the city which was really pretty at night before he some who gets us back down in the same field. i get out of the basket and go and lay on the ground karl doing the same thing right beside me the song talking to the moon by bruno mars playing in the back.

at night

the song plays on its own for a while as we stare up at the stars, they were beautiful, it was the perfect night, it was warm, the sky was clear so you could see all the stars perfectly, it was amazing.

"of course whats up" i say

"ok you cant say anything until in done" he says I nod,  he takes a deep breath before he starts talking

"y/n ever since I met you I thought you were the most beautiful and kind person I have ever met, I love how I can tell you anything, I love how you make me smile everyday, i love your style, i love how you will almost do anything.. i have to spit this out before i never do but i like you y/n like a lot and"
