"Okay, Coco Bean... No peeking!" Mollie would say as I followed her while being blindfolded by her hand. I was on a date...we were on a date..I felt giddy and nervous all in one. My sense were in overdrive from not being able to see. I heard the grass crunch under our shoes, and once in a while the snap of a twig under my boot or hers. The sound of grasshoppers off in the distance playing their song in peace, here I thought they would be hibernating or something with the cold but I guess not. We walked in silence I don't know how long it felt like forever...I finally broke the silence "Can I open my eyes yet? I wanna see, how about a hint pleeeease molliiiiie?" Maybe my cuteness would get me some answers as she guided me to stop. I could hear her laugh in return, before replying. "Patience Coco Bean, keep those eyes closed, and don't move until I say when, okay?" Damn cuteness charm ineffective, but I kept my eyes closed giving an evident pout "Okay, okaaaay." I'd say, keeping my eyes closed as she removed her hand. I could hear her walking off then silence. I'm sure most would have been worried at something like that but Mollie wasn't the type to leave someone out in the woods! "Mollie...?" I'd whisper shifting from one foot to the other, now even more tempted to open my eyes.

Before a mini freak out could assume from yours truly I'd hear her let out a soft chuckle "Okay when!" she'd say. My eyes snapped open, blinking them a few times so they could adjust to my surroundings. Finally, as everything came into view I took in the sights of a makeshift tent, right in the center of the secluded area we stood in, lite by the moon, stars, and fireflies themselves. The area looked so tranquil and magnificent, with the grasshopper's song playing in the background, it felt magical. It was like a scene from those romantic films, where you're like that would so not happen in reality. But nope there it was standing right smack dab in the front of me. What do you say to someone who took time out of their day to set all this up?! Thank you, just didn't cut it. I'd crouch for a moment to look inside the tent, seeing plush pillows and tiny lanterns lighting the inside. I grinned like a dork, looking from Mollie to the setup and back again. Deciding a response was in order at this point, how long had I'd just been standing in silence. Clearing my throat as I stood back up "Mollie.. It's freaking gorgeous! I don't wanna be lame... and cry on our first date but..no ones ever done anything like this... I love it!" stupid tears starting to fall as I finished, I'd wipe at my face quickly She'd smirk "Don't get sappy on me now Coco Bean." she'd tease, and pull me into a tight hug "Come on, no tears. I want you to be all smiles tonight."

I'd giggle, hugging her back just as tight giving her neck a soft nuzzle "You're right...thank you!" I'd pull back beaming at her "It's an awesome surprise!" "That's not all." she grinned, while taking my hand urging me to follow. Giggling again I'd follow after her. "Oh?" I questioned, giving her hand a gentle squeeze. If we somehow managed a second date I wanted to do something just as special, my mind running through ideas, not realizing we had reached our destination until practically colliding with Mollie's back "Oop! sorry!" smiling meekly, before looking around. We were on a bridge, shrubbery lined along it and out ahead a clear view of the lake, the moon's ray making it shimmer as if jewels lined the bottom. Fireflies danced among themselves along the water, making the lake's surface glimmer even more. Further out trees circled the area, and an abandoned boat bobbed along the river's gentle push. I stood in awe, nature was just on Mollie's side this day it felt and looked so surreal. I stepped ahead, slowly afraid to break the magic.

"Can we..sit?" asking as I continued to gawk. I wish I had a camera to capture the moment before me, but since I didn't I'd just have to soak in every detail through memory. "Of course Coco." Mollie would say already taking a seat behind me, and getting herself situated first before taking my hand yet again easing me down to join her. I could feel my cheeks heat up even against the cold air as I rested against her lap. Being so close was still foreign to me with her, nothing bad just that butterflies feeling as if they'll explode from your stomach. I didn't want to spoil anything or come off too strong or move to fast. Just nice and slow. We sat in silence enjoying the view and each others company, somewhere along the line

Mollie was the first to break the silence "Wow Coco Bean. Look at that sky." pointing up at the twinkling stars. Looking up I'd grin "It's beautiful...never seen so many stars if at all...city lights hide them... Could get use to such a beautiful sight." I'd sigh "Wish I knew the constellations tho..." I'd say while looking from star to star.

Mollie would laugh softly while pointing to the star's "See those three stars in a row there? That's Orion's belt. And that thing that looks like a shopping cart? That's Charles's Wain. My dad taught me a few of these growing up." whispering the last of her sentence as she stroked my hair with her free hand.

Listening, I'd follow her hand trying to make a mental note to not forget. "I'll try to remember...though I may just end up asking you again in the future." I'd giggle softly "Hey Mollie...are you and your dad still close..?" Was that appropriate to ask your girlfriend? Were we that far in the relationship to ask about one anothers family? I was curious but there is a saying about that kill the cat... "Sorry, not a good first date question right? Just a little nervous..like I'm gonna mess this up..somehow heh..." I'd look back to see her expression.

She was biting her lip as if contemplating something before speaking. "Uhm... He... He's dead. So... No..." My heart sunk, and I instantly wanted to go back in time and not even ask. "I'm sorry..." Ugh the typical response to death, I hated it when people did it to me, when every a question came up about my own dad. "I feel like an ass for asking now..." And I felt like a bigger ass for asking on date night, wasn't there like a rule book for things like this?! Or did you just wing it all? I spent the next few minutes mentally kicking myself as I twiddled with my fingers, and wanting to hide in a hole far off somewhere.

Mollie broke the silence, obviously feeling awkward tension. "Hey, it's okay Coco Bean. It's not as painful anymore. Don't be nervous. You haven't ruin anything." intertwining her fingers with my own. I closed my eyes a moment taking in a deep breath of cold air, her words giving me a big boost of reassurance. "Thank you....So how about those nicks?" trying to lighten things back up. Hearing her chuckle in response gave me hope I wasn't a total dope, as I joined her laughing.

"I'm kidding, I know that was lame." giving her hands a soft squeeze in my own, they were much warmer then mine, MUCH more. My own felt like little Popsicles. How long had we been outside? 30 minutes, maybe an hour, regardless the more I pondered it the chillier it felt. As if on queue I began to shiver.

"Cold Coco?" Mollie would ask "It's warmer in the tent if you want to head in." Perking up at the words of warmer, I didn't need to be told twice. "Only if you don't mind, I tend to get cold even if I have on 100 layers of clothing." I'd joke "How about a race? Last one there is a frozen snow girl!" preparing to break free and run for the tent.

You guys... I dunno how it happened or when but the next thing I know my feet weren't connected to the ground anymore which made me squeal in surprise, took me a second to realize I was being cradled. I looked to Mollie with a look of bewilderment which in return she burst into laughter. I was either less then 120 or she was just helluv strong!

"Nope, no racing." she'd say kissing the tip of my nose before carrying me off towards the tent. Talk about leaving a girl speechless, not everyday you get carried off like a princess. I was no longer cold that was for sure, my cheeks blazed as I blushed "You're gonna spoil me like this ya know..." looking down with a shy smile as I spoke.

"That's the idea Coco bean." she'd say with a grin, gently laying me down among the many pillows that filled tent. She was right it was much warmer even more so when she closed the tent's flaps. We spent the rest of the night talking about any and everything we could think of along with a few drinks of champagne and nibbles of strawberries. I even showed Mollie how I'd let the berries soak in the champagne before eating them, I don't remember saying I was tired or even falling asleep but I did. Finding myself snuggled up against a sleeping Mollie, was it weird to watch her sleep? Or watch her chest rise and fall, I already felt lucky even more so now. How did I end up dating someone so amazing, so kind, and beautiful. I Watched her oblivious to her surroundings, pondering what was going on in that sleeping head. Very slowly I'd lean forward planting a kiss along the corner of her mouth careful to not wake her. "Thank you for an amazing night molls." I'd whisper. Hopefully I could make our next date just as great for her.
