Chapter 21: The Secret
(Hailey's POV)
"You what?!"
"I kissed him." Grace repeated, "It was amazing!"
I squealed bouncing up and down on my soft bed. Grace laughed and I smiled at her.
"I knew you two would start having feelings soon!"
Grace looked down, "It just all happened so quick though. You think I'm doing the right thing Hailey?"
I nodded and punched her shoulder playfully. "Of course I do Grace. You two are perfectly made for each other. I mean, think about all the moments you both share and see each other."
"Hmm, your right."
"And lets not forget how Jacob stares at you too!"
She smirked, "Stare?"
I nodded, "Yeah. He stares at you like he's madly in love or something."
Grace's cheeks turned a rose red.
I giggled, "Just go out with him already!"
Grace rolled her eyes. "Fine, I will!"
"Yay!"
Grace grabbed one of my pink pillows from off of my bed and threw it at me. I looked confused at her.
"Um, what the hell was that for Grace?"
She smiled at me before exiting out my room door. "Oh, no reason. Good night little sis!"
I smiled back with a chuckle, "Good night!"
Once everyone in the house was sound asleep, I started to make my quick move out the back door. The back door led in to the back yard and that's where I'm meeting Seth. I saw him leaning against a tree texting on his phone. When he heard me walk, he looked up and smiled.
"Hailey!"
I smiled back, skipping towards him. "Hey there, Seth!"
"So, they're all asleep correct?" he asked.
"Yes. Now where are you taking me again?"
Seth took my hand, leading me in to the direction inside the dark woods.
"You'll see!"
I looked nervous. "My vision is awful at night. Perhaps is there a short cut?"
"Nope, this is the only way. Besides you have me here! I can see well when it's dark."
"Fine, I trust you."
Seth add a small chuckle as I rolled my eyes. He's so lucky I like him. I just hope i get back home before my dad wakes up. He sometimes wakes up in the middle of night. Why? I don't know.
"Okay, now close your eyes Hailey."
I closed my eyes. "Um, what for?"
He smiled, "It's a surprise duh! Now, don't open until I say open. Got it?"
"Hmmm, yeah sure I guess."
"Take a few steps forward. Don't worry, you wont fall I'm right here with you!"
I did as told, walking forward and then stopped.
"Now can I open them, Seth?"
He laughed, "Nope, we're almost there! Turn left, then turn right."
I did as told again and stopped.
"Now?"
Seth nodded, "Now you may open your eyes."
I opened my eyes and looked around. I gasped and slowly placed my hands over my mouth.
"Seth..."
"Beautiful huh?" he smiled.
"Very! How did you know about this place?" I asked surprised.
"Just a hide out I've discovered when I was little. Here it's very quiet and peaceful. Sometimes I sleep here!"
"Cool. So, this is the secret huh?"
Seth nodded, "Yup!"
I looked around again. We are standing in front of a large crystal lake, with the moon shinning it's reflection in the water. Mid night birds flew around and the fireflies are glowing. It felt like as if I'm stuck inside a dream. I got down to my knees, touching the soft green grass. Pink and yellow flowers surrounded us. I picked one up and stuck it in my hair with a giggle.
"I love this place. I feel like I'm inside of a dream!"
Seth looked inside my eyes, "You are my dream Hailey..."
I turned away from the flowers and looked up so my eyes can meet his.
"Oh, Seth..."
I placed my hand over my heart. That was the most sweetest thing some one has ever told me. He took out his hand, helping me stand back on my feet. We both continuously stared inside each others eyes, this time with love.
"I know we just met, but Hailey I cant hide my feelings anymore. I think about you every day...I even sometimes watch you when your at home or walking to school!" he says.
I laughed, "Stalker much? Ha, just playing! But, awwwww Seth that is so cute. You may be surprised but I um...like you too."
Seth eyes grew wide as tennis balls. "R-Really?!"
I nodded, "Yes, really. I don't care if it's too early..I want to be your girlfriend!"
Seth leaned over and kissed me on the cheek. I looked down, trying to hide my blush but it was too late. Seth seen it already and laughed. I punched him playfully and laughed as well.
"I cant wait to tell my sister. She's going to be thrilled!" I beamed.
"I bet."
"Did you know her and Jacob are going out?"
"Like on a date?"
I nodded.
Seth jumped up and down excitedly. "I KNEW IT!"
I laughed again.
"No wonder Jacob was all lovey dovey today." he smiled. "That's my boy!"
"Imagine their face expressions when we tell them we're together too."
Seth wondered his eyes. "Wellll, Jacob kinda already know about us."
"Wait...how?" I asked, confused.
"I already told Jacob my feelings about you and me taking you here to my secret hid out."
"Oh. Well, what did he say then?"
Seth smiled, "He said he's proud that I've found someone, that we make a cute couple.".
I blushed again.
Seth placed his hands on my waist, pulling me closer. I wrapped my arms around his neck as we rocked side to side.
"I love you Seth...thanks for coming in to my life." I said, while laying my head under his chin.
He closed his eyes. "I love you too, Hailey."
