                   Chapter six


                          
   I've been going on dates with Ansel pretty much everyday for the past two weeks. We still haven't had our 'first kiss' yet, and he still hasn't asked me to be his girlfriend. 

He has taken me on three picnics-two of them under the stars-and he never made a move to kiss me. He also has taken me to see The Fault in our Stars, and he got mad when I said Augustus Waters was good looking. Oh, then there was mini-golf. We both suck at mini-golf. I'm starting to think we might not have that kiss after all. 

     My phone beeps, taking me out of my thoughts. It's a text from him, Ansel.        
-Wear your swimsuit under some cute clothes..-
-for what?-
-I'll explain later.- 
                          
        I do as he says. And ten minutes later, he's at my door. My dad still won't talk to him... But he finally talks to me again. A few days after the 'incident' I had to have the talk with them. I'm still grossed out. 
     I hear big feet climbing up the stairs, I take one last look at myself before Ansel storms through the door. I turn around quickly. I figured he'd knock. 
                          
"Sorry, I would've knocked but I was hoping you were getting dressed." He jokes. 
                          
    Typical Ansel. I slap his arm before he embraces me in a big, warm hug. He smells like him.. Natural, manly, delicious. I'm growing very found of that scent. 

"C'mon, we gotta make it there before sundown."  
"Make it where?" 
"You'll see" 
                          
He picks me up and hangs me over his shoulders, and I don't fight it. 
                          
"Bye mom, bye dad." I say as we reach the door. 
                          
      My dad gives me a look, and my mom says, "bye honey, and it was nice to see you again Ansel." 
                          
      When we get to his truck, he puts me down. I happen to notice pillows and blankets in the back, before I can see more, Ansel picks me up again and puts me in the seat. I laugh. Then, all of a sudden, he puts a blindfold over my eyes. 
"Ansel!" I scream, "I can't see anything!" 
He laughs, "that's the point." 
                          
    He shuts my car door and it takes awhile before he opens his. 
                          
"What took you so long?" I ask. 
"I had to ask your mom something." I nod. 
                          
      The whole ride I kept bugging him about where we were going. About 15 minutes in, the ride got really bumpy. The car stopped, and he got out. He opened my door. 
                          
"Can you take it off now?" I ask with a pout.
"My shirt? I already did." He chuckles.
"No! The blindfold." I say laughing, and I try to slap his arm, but my hands finds his chest. It's hard, but the skins soft and warm. I quickly pull away my hands. 
"Sure, I'll take it off." And he does. I open my eyes and see a river, and trees surrounding us. 
"Where are we?" I ask, as he helps me down, and i feel his strong muscles.
"The middle of nowhere." He says with a smirk. Man, this guy smirks a lot. I laugh. 
"Take off your clothes." Ansel spits out. I laugh, as his face gets red. 
"I bet you say that to all the girls." I tease. He just nods and keeps blushing. But I take off my clothes, and reveal my bikini. I catch Ansel looking at my body, but he pretends he wasn't. 
                          
"Wanna go for a swim?" He asks suddenly, as he picks me up and walks me to the edge of the water. 
                          
      I keep screaming his name. He starts swaying, like he's about to throw me in. And eventually he does.
     The water is cold. I go under after he throws me in, and pop my head back up as soon as possible. I clear my eyes and see him laughing. 
                          
"Get in here!" I yell at him. 
      He walks over to a tree and grabs... A rope swing? He gets on and jumps in! When he comes up for air, he says, "it's cold!" 
"I know!" 
"Guess no skinny dipping tonight." He smirks. 
"I wouldn't of skinny dipped at all. Let's get out." I take his hand, and we walk out of the river. 
"Sorry, that kind of ruined our night." I apologize. 
"Please, the cold water didn't ruin anything." He assures me. He grabs some towels and lay them on the ground. I sit, and he covers me up. After he sits down, I give him a hug, trying to stay warm. 
                          
"Sarah?" 
I look up at him. 
"Will you be my girlfriend?" The hug gets tighter. 
"Yes, Ansel." I say with a blush. I keep looking into his eyes. 
      Our faces our inching closer and closer together. This is the moment. This is the romantic moment I've been waiting for. Our lips touch, my eyes close, sparks fly. 
       It was a simple kiss. Just lips to lips. After our lips part, Ansel says to me, 
 "I've been waiting a long time to do that." 
                          
I give him another peck. 
                          
"Me too, Ansel, me too." 
                          
    He stands up and pulls me up with him. He walks me over to the truck bed and pulls down the tailgate. He picks me up and sits me on the edge. His hands on either side of my hips, he leans really close to my face. I blush, and he kisses my cheek, pulling away slowly. 
                          
"You're the most amazing girl I've ever met."
