try to catch them with my finger but Ollie notices.
He crouches down in front of me and takes both of my hands in his. His touch comforts me in a way I never thought was possible. He lifts my face up so I'm looking right at him. He probably thinks I'm an emotional wreck by now.
"Let's get out of here." He says perking up and pulling me with him. I nod and we start going back into the library.
Instead of staying in the library, he grabs both our bags and starts to go out the doors. I silently follow him trying to figure out where he's taking me. I realize this is exactly what I need. I need to get away from this hell and relax.
CHAPTER EIGHT
paradise springs
We head out towards the parking lot but instead of going towards my car, Ollie heads in a different direction. I follow him since he has my hand locked and I'm not about to let him go.
We come up to a huge black truck with only two doors. I'm going to have to jump to even get in the thing. We walk to the passenger side and he helps me in by literally picking me up like I weigh a feather, which I don't. I'm astonished by his strength but I don't say anything. He beams at me as he shuts my door. He moves into his seat and starts up his truck.
It rumbles so loud I actually reach up to cover my ears. His car is freaking insane. It's like a monster truck on steroids. I glare over at him and he laughs under his breath. I reach over and shove his shoulder. Of course he doesn't budge.
He puts the truck into drive and we head out. I have no idea where we're going but I don't care. I have to learn to take chances and trust people. I feel bad ditching Junior but I am thankful that Ollie whisked me away from the annoyance that is Becca.
"So where are we going?" I ask him after a couple minutes of deafening silence.
"Secret spot." He states grinning like the Cheshire Cat. His eyes never leave the road ahead as he refuses to look at me.
"You've been here all of a month and you have a spot?" I ask, skeptical.
"Indeed, I do. I play here sometimes." He says shrugging his shoulders. It can't be that secret if he has already found it. I've lived here my whole life—I have to know where we're going.
"Gotcha." I say and we fall into a comfortable silence. I just sit back and let him lead the way. Even though Becca ruined the day, I'm still in a great mood thanks to that kiss. I start to daydream about his lips. They're so soft and plump—so very kissable.
Finally he pulls off the main road and drives us onto a gravel path. It probably isn't meant for cars to go down but his truck makes it since it's enormous. He stops before a clearing in the woods. I'm confused since to my knowledge the only thing around here is woods and more woods.
He comes to my side of the truck and opens the door for me. I basically jump into his arms and he catches me. He holds me for a second before pecking my cheek and putting me down. I am falling so hard it's scary.
He grabs my hand and we start walking together. He leads the way through the woods. I trust him, yet again. I'm proud of myself but at the same time I'm scared I'm going to get burned and hurt.
It is only two o'clock but the woods are creepy. The trees create a cover that the sun can't get through. I feel like at any second a serial killer will jump out and kill us. I've seen Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I know how it goes down. I inch closer to Ollie, practically glued to his side.
We walk for like ten minutes. The area is rocky and there are hills making it hard to navigate. I try not to sweat too much. I want to drop his hand since my palms are getting clammy.
As if he's reading my mind, he clenches my hand harder. He smiles at me and pulls me in closer. I like him all possessive. I don't want him to let me go.
"Close your eyes." He commands when he stops walking abruptly. I look at him like he's crazy.
"I can't walk if I can't see." I tell him. Knowing me, I will trip and fall
