"Here we are," he said parking his car in front of a house.

"I thought you were gonna take me somewhere more..."

"Romantic?" he said looking at me with a confused face.

"I wouldn't say that's the word I was looking for, but more let's say different?" I said not understanding why we're in this neighborhood.

"Well it won't be bad I assure you. It will be a great ending to our first and last date."

"So you brought me to your house? At night?" I said and realized that the second part of my question had to stay in my mind. He'll be too amused to know that I had these inappropriate thoughts. Oh whatever! I already said it, so there's no way back.

"How did you know that this was my house?" was what he asked, which took me by surprise.

"Oh, I-I just assumed."

As if.

"Yeah your assumption was right. This is my house. There's nobody home, so no one's gonna keep us from having fun. What's with that look on your face angel? Are you scared of being with me AT NIGHT in a house where NO ONE ELSE is at the moment?"

I internally face palmed myself. I knew he wouldn't let that slide. Even though I blushed a little I knew that he wasn't gonna got what he wanted. He always does these things to me. He loves to tease me, but I'm not the one who's gonna lose. There are so many moments I hate this idiot, but not this time. I'm even thankful that I have him in my life, because I learned a lot from him.

I feel that he changes me. For the better. In the past I would blush and lose the ability to speak. I just wouldn't be able to come up with something smart or at least rude. But now I knew that I had to try to be calm and continue his game.

To be able to win him I had to play his game.

I came closer to him, so that now we were facing each other and our faces were just centimeters away. I slightly tilted my head and looked up into his eyes. I traced my finger on his jawline.

"No sweetie, I'm not. The opposite, I'm so happy that there's no one home. The surprise that I got is for a limited audience."

I went a little up so I was reaching his ear.

"It's only for you my bad boy and no one else has to see it. The question is whether you're ready for that surprise babe," I whispered in his ear and passed by his side.

I knew he wouldn't expect all of those phrases from me. He always thought he was the only one who could tease. But nope. Life's a surprise.

I was walking, but suddenly stopped because I didn't hear any footsteps. I turned around to see what he was doing. He wasn't moving. He didn't even say anything. From the look of his face I could see that he was shocked. But at some point he snapped out of it and wanted to calm himself down. But it was too late. I've already seen him.

"Let's just go," he said and quickly walked towards the door.

"So was this the idea that I was gonna like? Chilling at home? By the way is your family?" I said sitting on the sofa.

"Don't you think you're asking too many questions? You're not even giving me time to answer all of them. No, this wasn't my idea. Wait here till I get changed and you'll see. Just have some patience geez. God just give this woman some patience! My family's out of town."

"Okay. I got all the answers I needed at the moment. I don't think I have any more left. Go ahead and change your clothes. I'm waiting here."

"How can you change from sexy to cute in a second? I think you have a personality disorder," he said going to his room.

"Haha so funny. And YOU are the one talking about the changes Mr.Moody? Your personality changes every second!!!" I said screaming so he could hear me.

He changed quicker than I thought and came out of his room. He had something in his hand that seconds later thrown in my face.

"Hey! What are you doing? What's this? And what's with your manners?" I said looking at what was tossed over me.

"Put that sweater on."

"I'm not cold."

"Put that sweater on angel. Listen to me for once without asking questions."

"Okay okay," I said putting the sweater on.

It was a dark blue sweater with the phrase "Dreaming of me again?" on it. I did an eye-roll. This phrase was so Damon-like. It was big on me, but it was so comfortable. Though from the smell I could understand that it was just washed, but his smell was still stuck to the sweater. I knew he was focused on something else so I smelled the sweater again. I loved his smell.

Do you know the feeling when the smell of the person just feels so close to your heart. Even that smell is special to you. Well that's what his smell was to me.

"So what's next?"

"Were you just smelling my sweater?"

Dammnit! He got me. Okay okay just calm down. You can figure it out.

"Yeah I was, I adore the smell of newly washed clothes. I felt it when putting it on, so just wanted to feel it again," I said smiling, hoping he would believe me.

"Whatever, you're a weirdo. Okay, so now follow me."

"Where are we going?"

"To the roof," he said as if there wasn't any problem with that.

"Are you crazy?"

He turned around with a confused face, obviously not understanding what I meant.

"Why am I crazy?"

"Are you sure you're gonna be okay if we go to the roof?" I asked thinking he would finally understand what I'm talking about. But no, men, they're not like that. You just can't beat around the bush, you have to be as straightforward as possible.

"Why would I not be okay?"

"Jesus Christ, so you really are stupid, aren't you? You're afraid of heights. Did you forget about it?"

"Oh, right. Well, I'll just have to overcome my fear one day, right? I want it to be today. Moreover, I brought you with me thinking you would help me to go up there and not think about the height. We'll just lie down and I'll look at the sky."

"Okay, fine. Take my hand and let's go. But tell me, if you feel bad okay?"

He took my hand and we climbed the stairs. When we reached the roof I turned to him.

"Close your eyes. I think that'll help you forget that we're up here. Come on do it."

He didn't say anything and closed his eyes. My hand was still holding his.

When people do this in movies it feels so romantic, but when it's the real world you see that nothing's that romantic. That's what happened to us.

"OUCH!" he screamed after hitting his foot somewhere. I didn't see where he hit his foot, as I was the one leading the way.

I don't know why, but when people fall or hit their body part somewhere my first reaction is laughing. So, I just started laughing.

"Oh my God," I said laughing and approaching him.

"What are you laughing at? You can't even lead the way! If you tell me to close my eyes, then you have to help me go up there. You can't do anything without my help."

"Are you okay? Oh come on stop complaining! Aren't you a grown man after all? Although thinking about it now I think you're not," I said while we were sitting on the roof.

"I am man angel and you know that very well," he said winking at me.

"I think you're not afraid of heights anymore," I said letting his hand go.

"Oh come on! Why did you have to ruin that part? Let's lie down and observe the sky."

"Woah woah! Who are you and what have you done to the rude, bad-tempered and certainly NOT romantic Damon?"

"You told me once that I don't know much about you, but you don't know about me either."

"Okay. So, I'll get to know you today. Let's start right now. Tell me about today's fight. Who's the person that decided to beat you almost to death? Why did they do that? Are you connected to some gang or something?"

"I don't wanna talk about it and it's none of your business," he said looking at the sky.

"So you tell me to get to know you, but you're not answering the first questions? What kind of a deal is that?" I said watching him look at the sky.

"I didn't tell you I want you to get to know me, I just acknowledged the fact that you didn't know me," he said with an unemotional voice, still looking at the sky.

"You clearly want me to get to know you, but at the same time you close yourself from me. Why do you do that? Are you afraid of something?"

"Can we just not talk about me today?"

"Whatever you want. Let's talk about the stars then, as I don't want to talk about me either. What do you think are they judging people when they look at us from above?"

"What are you talking about? They can't have thoughts! Are you a child or something?"

"What if they had? Every time I'm facing hardships I look at the sky hoping this time a star would reassure me I was doing right."

"I don't think that can happen angel. Face the truth, you're just a dreamer."

"So you wanna tell me you don't have any dreams?"

"You still wanna talk about me, don't you?" he said and a little smile appeared on his face.

"I mean why not, that's what people do when going on dates, right? They talk, try to know more about the person they're with."

"I don't have dreams," he said sighing.

"How's that possible? You're lying."

"I'm not. I dreamed a lot when I was little, but none of those dreams came true, so I just gave up on dreaming whatsoever."

"You didn't fight for your dreams. That's not right. You had to fight for them. You won't reach a dream unless you fight hard and don't give up."

"It's not as simple as it sounds. My dreams didn't depend on me."

"So they depended on...?"

"This much is enough. I don't wanna talk about it. Tell me what your dream is then?"

"I think you'll find it miserable, childish or lame. I won't tell you."

This was the first time he turned to look at me. He was looking me straight into his eyes and I swear I could drown in them. They were so deep, so sad and maybe a little genuine this time.

I realized that, one again, I fell for these eyes. I fell for the same person. How ironic.

He put his hand on my cheek.

"Tell me angel. What makes you think I'll consider it lame?" he said caressing my cheek with his thumb.

"Because you don't believe in love and you're not romantic?"

"I don't, but you do. So tell me," he said with a reassuring smile.

"I've always dreamt of finding the right person for me. The person that I'd fall head over heels for and he'd love me in return. A person who'd listen to my complains, see my imperfections and notice my weak sides, but would still stay by my side. A person who'd think that I'm worth fighting for."

"That's a pretty real dream you have there. It's not impossible and neither it's lame."

"Nowadays you rarely see couples who love each other like crazy. I think that one couple in thousand gets this chance of being happy with the person who loves them sincerely."

"I hope you find that person angel. It sounded kinda wrong. I'm SURE you will. You're such a beautiful being, you're an angel," he said in a low voice.

And what if I want that person to be YOU?

We were still lying on the roof. He came closer to me and hugged me. I heard a quick heartbeat. I couldn't figure out whether it was mine or his. How funny.

We stayed like that for what felt like eternity, but I just had to come back to reality. I took out my phone out of my pocket. Dozens of messages from my mom. A couple from Meggy asking if I was okay. I told my mom I was going to stay at Meggy's. Meggy gave me the keys of her house knowing I was going to come back late. I really hope her parents won't notice that.

"I should probably go now. Our date is officially over. It wasn't as bad as I imagined it to be. Thank you for today," I whispered breaking our hug.

I kinda felt like he didn't want to break the hug or for me to go. But maybe I was imagining what I wanted to happen. It didn't matter anymore anyway.

"Yeah sure. Thank you too," he said and got up. He got up really quickly and offered me his hand, so I could get up easily. I took it and we went back to the house holding hands.

I was about to leave his house when we heard a knock on the door. He was confused not knowing who it could be. He opened the door.

"Hey babe, are you ready to have some fun? It's gonna be a night to remember. I'm gonna make it worth it."
