A date! A date! A lovely date!

Three

 

Ryan ran up to the edge of the cliff with Parker still on his back. “Here's where I wanted to take you. I come her to relax from the stress everyday.” he smiled and pulled her close to him.

 

Parker was astonished “This is beautiful” she smiled back and spread her arms out, feeling like she was flying because of the breeze passing over her.

 

            Ryan let go of her and Parker squealed, frightened since she knew they were alone and vulnerable. She ran back up to him afraid to let him go again, hoping this day would never end, but then again it was still morning and they had all the time in the world. Parker smiled to herself and wondered what it was like spending the whole day with the guy you love, she sighed at the thought. She looked up at Ryan and got on her tip-toes, pressing her lips on his, feeling vibrant at that very moment.

 

“I have a feeling that this is going to be the best day of my life” Ryan smiled and quickly kissed her.

 

            Parker smiled and went to the edge of the cliff and sat down, unafraid of the height. She let her feet swing over the edge, feeling free and amazing. She looked at Ryan standing over her worried that she might fall. She giggled and smiled up at him, hugging his leg like a small child. He smiled down at her and chuckled at her childlike action.

 

“This is so beautiful” she let her words come out like velvet “I wish I could fly so I can see more of the beauty”

 

“You can say that again” he stared at her and she saw, noticing exactly what he meant

 

“Your so sweet” she gushed, blushing at his words

 

            Parker knew barely anything about this guy but she was so into him. She loved him in every way possible and noticed it the moment he walked out of that train to kiss her. She blushed at that very thought and giggled, wanting that memory to last forever in her head. She thought about every other guys she had ever been with and noticed that there had never been one quite like Ryan. She sighed and hugged his leg tighter, wanting to stay with him longer than  day. She frowned at the thought of leaving him and looked up at him with tears in her eyes, hoping Ryan didn't notice.

 

Ryan smiled down at her and helped her up from the edge. “Lets go now. I have another place in mind”  he put her back on his back and carried her off to yet another unknown destination.

 

            Parker giggled as he ran just a mile away from the cliff and put her down,  she looked around and realized that there was a huge waterfall and a river at the bottom. She looked down in awe and smiled to herself, wondering what else this world had hidden from her.

 

“So?” Ryan looked back at her, wondering how much she loved this.

 

“It's amazing!” she smiled at him and hugged him, closing her eyes and reminiscing about what it would be like if she had lived in a place like this.

 

He smiled back at her and kissed her forehead. “I'm glad” he let go of her and took his shirt and pants off as Parker realized that he had swim trunks on under his trousers.

 

            Parker screamed as she witnessed Ryan jump into the deep water below the waterfall. She saw him bob up and saw that he was breathing and everything was okay and could finally breath again. She took her clothes off and got ready to jump off, trembling at the thought of getting injured or dying. She took a deep breath and jumped off the clip in a perfect dive mode. When she got to the bottom she sucked in some oxygen and hit the water, bobbing up to the top next to Ryan.

 

“Not so bad now was it?” he chuckled realizing she was still shaky

 

“That's probably the scariest thing I have ever done” she trembled and giggled, clinging onto him realizing that how deep the water was.

 

“Its okay. I gotcha” he pulled her close to him so that she wouldn't float into the heavy current.

 

            Parker looked up at him and felt how close she was to him. It was like she felt safe and secure in his arms and she kissed him. Ryan's eyes widened for a moment, wondering what just happened and he kissed her back tenderly. He smiled in the middle of the kiss, not believing how quickly he fell for this girl. He squeezed her against him tightly and felt them going into the heavy current.

 

“Oh God! Parker hold on to me tightly” he panicked

 

“Why? Whats happening?” she frowned and looked behind her, seeing the heavy current take them away from the shore. She screamed and held onto Ryan tighter.

 

“Its gonna be okay. I have you” he covered her head to make sure nothing hit her head.

 

            Parker breathed heavily and looked around to find a stick to hold onto so they went no further. She grabbed onto a stick sticking out towards them and held onto Ryan with her other hand.

 

“Grab on!” she squealed

 

            Ryan grabbed onto the branch and pulled onto the slippery rock that the stick held onto. He held the top of the rock and Parker.

 

“You okay?” he frowned seeing multiple scars on her legs.

 

“Yeah, they're just small scars” she held onto the top of the rock with Ryan, hoping they wouldn't fall off.

 

“You better be” he kissed her forehead and gripped the rock harder, feeling his hand start to slip.

 

“Let go Ryan” she let go off the top of  the rock started to slip off.

 

“Parker! Are you crazy!?!” he yelled and grabbed her arm even though the algae made her arm slippery.

 

“Trust me! I know what I'm doing!” she smiled up at him and completely let go

 

            Ryan panicked and let go too, grabbing onto Parker again as they floated down the river more. Parker looked at how far they were away from the fall. Just around the curve she thought to herself.

 

“Let me go” she looked at Ryan

 

“Why?”

 

“I have a plan!” she giggled and dove for the shore as Ryan followed her.

 

            They swam for the shore until they reached it, pulling themselves up so that they can get out of the heavy current. Parker stood up feeling woozy and felt sore from all the scars on her arms, midsection and legs.

 

“Holy crap! Parker?” he looked at her worriedly and laid her down.

 

“Its okay... I just might need to go to a hospital, I feel very dizzy and it feels like I am losing too much blood” she breathed heavily as her blood slowly oozed out of her body.

 

Ryan looked at her body carefully and frowned at the sight of a huge gash just above her midsection. “You need to go to the hospital now” he frowned as he picked her up and ran towards the waterfall.

 

“Don't take me to the hospital I work at. I don't wanna lose my job” she stuttered and could barely breath

 

“You shouldn't have done what you did. That was kinda reckless” he frowned at her, seeing her exhausted body slowly breath

 

“At least we're outta the water” she smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck, securing herself so she didn't fall.

 

“Yeah, that's at least one good hing we got out of it”

 

            Parker lightly laughed and slowly began to fell asleep as Ryan carried her up the side of the cliff that the waterfall hung off of. As he reached where their clothes were, he put her clothes back on her and slowly picked her back up, carrying her towards where they were just an hour before then.

 

~30 minutes Later~

 

            Ryan put Parker down and checked the gash on her side, seeing that the blood was partially dried but was still oozing out of it. He frowned and quickly picked her up this time, running for the SUV. He dodged every branch and bush so that he could get to the car within 15 minutes and he did. Ryan put Parker into the passengers seat and buckled her up. He closed the door and got into the drivers seat, not buckling up at all and backing out of the parking space quickly. Parker woke up and looked at Ryan.

 

“Hey. Calm down, it's not like I'm dying” she frowned at him

 

“Actually its been an hour or so and your gash is still oozing blood. So you are wrong” he stared at the road and back at Parker for a moment, then back at the road.

 

Parker lightly giggled. “That's only my body trying to heal Ryan. Its okay”

 

Ryan looked at her in disbelief “I am not caring if you lose your job right now... so what I am going to do is take you to your hospital. The CLOSEST one!” he panicked.

 

Parker frowned angrily. “No!”

 

“Parker, I love you, but I am not taking chances” he stopped at a red light and looked at Parker.

 

Parker looked up at him and saw the look in his eyes, immediately softening her tone. “Okay” she whispered “You can take me there okay? I'm not gonna fight you”

 

            Ryan looked at her relieved and smiled, kissing her forehead and looking back at the road to find the light was green. He drove into the hospital parking lot and got out, taking Parker out of the other side and shutting the doors. He went into the Emergency Room and showed a nurse the cut.

 

“Good God Parker! What did you do?!?” one of the nurses panicked and immediately got a gurney.

 

“Don't worry about it Tamala. I just need one favor from you.” Parker looked at Tamala intensely.

 

“What is it?”

 

“Don't tell the boss. I can't lose my job over this. I said I was gonna be out sick and well... you know the rest”

 

“Okay. I promise. Just don't do anything like whatever you did again”

 

“Okay”

 

Ryan chuckled and kissed Parker lightly. “Thank God. At least you can speak right”

 

Parker smiled “Yeah”

 

Tamala rolled the gurney towards a room. “I need you to stay out here for a few”

 

“Okay” he frowned and sat down.
