Something Told Me To Stay (M.Shadows)

Chapter 11

If you stay, hey, I got a plan

You wanna make a memory

You wanna steal a piece of time

You could sing a melody to me

And I could write a couple lines

You wanna make a memory.."

I looked into his piercing green eyes and leaned in as he did the same.

He kissed me tenderly and I felt what I never thought I'd ever feel again, especially with him. I couldn't put my finger on it just yet.

He pulled away when his phone rang.

"Sorry." he said.

"Hello ? Yeah. Is it ? Okay fine. Thanks dude."

"Who was that ?" I asked

"It doesn't matter. Come on, I wanna show you something."

He said, grabbing my hand and leaving the saloon.

"It can't possibly get better than that." I told him.

"Just wait and see." he chuckled. "Here put this on." he said giving me a blindfold. I put it on and he walked me to his car.

-----

"Are we there yet ?" I whined.

"No." he chuckled.

"How about now ?"

"No."

"Now ?"

He groaned and said "Yeah we're here."

"Really ?" I said enthusiastically.

"No." he laughed. "I'll let you know when we are."

"Gimme a hint at least to where we're going."

"Okay fine. It's somewhere you'll love."

"Well that didn't help." I laughed.

"Okay okay. We're here."

He got out and opened my door while taking my hand and helping me out.

We started walking and I felt sand between my toes. This could only mean one thing: the beach.

The wind was blowing through my hair and sent shivers down my spine.

"Okay," Matt said while stopping, "take your blindfold off."

I uncovered my eyes and gasped at the beautiful sight. Rose petals lead us to a table for two and in the center was a burning candle. It was right in front of the calm ocean. I looked around spotted a board walk that lead to two little hut type things.

"Heaven ?" I whispered.

Matt chuckled and pulled out my chair.

"Care to take a seat, Ms. Brown ?" he smirked.

"Why thank you Mr. Sanders. How kind of you." I played along.

"Why're you doing all this ?" I asked, smiling.

He began "Well I-"

"May I take your order ?" Jimmy asked while buttoning his tux.

"Jimmy ?" I laughed.

"Well yes, but tonight I prefer to be called 'Mr. Sullivan'." he said boldly, "or waiter, whatever floats your boat. Would you like some live entertainment ?"

"Yeah sure I'd love some." I giggled.

"I won't be a moment." he smiled.

He went to get something and returned shortly.
