Ready or not here I come Jackson.

Lily's pov:

It take about 10 minutes to get to the park.

I pull up to the parking lot and shut off my car.

"Okay Lily. Just breathe, it'll be fine. Don't think about that dumb dream!" I say to myself before getting out the car. I walk over the swings and sit down.

I remember coming here a lot with my mom. She used to take me all the time. But now. She just drowns herself in work. She barely even notices if I'm there or not.

I clear my head of those thoughts and pull out my phone.

To Jackson:
I'm here, meet by the swings.

Send.

A few minutes go by.

Him: alright, I'm almost there. See you in a bit doll.

I internally scream.

To calm myself down I start to swing. I swing higher and higher laughing in happiness. God I love swinging.

I suddenly feel a hand on my back pushing me. I jump, falling off the swing, stumbling to the ground.

"Ouch! Hey what the hell man!" I yell. I look up and start blushing. "Oh h-hi jack.." I say looking down.

He walks over to me and helps me up. "No need to apologise, I scared you. I'm sorry love." He says and he walks me over to the bench.

"So what's this fight about hm?" He asks me. I wince hoping he forgot.

"Oh..about that.." I smile innocently. " Hm?" He says grinning.

I stand up. I will not be flustered by this man.

"Well stand up ya chicken! Fight me!" I say putting my tiny fists up. He chuckles and shakes his head. "How about I buy you an ice cream instead." He coos to me.

I think. Fight him? Or free ice cream. Decisions decisions.

"I'll let you buy me an ice cream but, it had to be at least three scoops as any toppings I want!" I say smiling wide. No way he'll agree. "Deal." He says. My smile turns into a small blush. "O-okay then! Glad we can agree!" I say looking down.

We start walking to the ice cream place in silence.

"You look really nice peekôn." Jackson says breaking the silence. He seems to do that a lot.

"Oh this old thing! I just threw it on." I laugh nervously. He smiles down at me.

"So Lily, tell me about yourself." He asks.

Whoa does he want to get to know me? Weird.

"Well um. My favorite color is purple, I sing in the shower, my best friend and only friend is Sophie. My mom is a workaholic, so I'm mostly alone all the time. I love Disney movies! I like to wear long socks and have my hair in pigtails. Mostly because it's really comfy. Umm.." I say to him still thinking. "I can't think of anything else." I say.

"That's alright, hopefully we'll learn more about each other non?" He says more like a question.

I nod blushing.

"What about you?" I ask quietly.

"Let's see. My parents passed away when I was young. My aunt Lucy took care of me before she got Alzheimer's. I've been on my own for a while now. I've never been one for social crowds. I love to cook. My playlist is killer and um I can..play the piano." He says that last part softly.
