"So are you coming or not?" we're in the building garage, and Jason is inviting me to go on a ride with him on his big black motorcycle

After I accepted his offer of me staying a little more with him, at least until Tuesday when I'll have finished the analyses. Jason insisted on taking me on a ride without telling me exactly where to, referring to it as a surprise.

"Well I hope you're a better motor driver because I'm not ready to get into another accident," I say in amusement, but suddenly he's gaze darkened and his facial expressions changed to anguish "what's wrong?" I ask.

"I'm sorry for the accident, I-"

"Jason, it's alright really, I didn't mean to say that to upset you. So can we just forget about it at least for the rest of this day, please?" he shakes his head "So let's go". He hands me the second helmet he had in his other hand, and I wear it while climbing behind him.

"I think you should grab something," he says while starting the engine

"Uh, no I think I'm goo-" Before I could finish he accelerates, which makes me obliged to put my hands around his waist tightly so I won't fall. I'm sure he did that on purpose. And it's not that I'm complaining, I feel comfortable here behind him, despite the speed of light that he's driving with, I feel safe.

The warm rays of the sun soothe my smiling face, and the soft wind pervades my hair. It's so pleasant that I get the courage to remove my hands from around Jason and just spread them in the air, surrounding myself to the wind to carry me, I feel free like I'm flying and like there are no limits, no boundaries, that everything is possible.

We're out of the city now, and I'm curious to find out where we're going but my need to enjoy this moment is much powerful.

We're in the woods, I have no clue what we're doing here. And in any other case, if someone that I don't really know brings me into a jungle I will be terrified. But this is different, with Jason it's different, I don't know him well to be sure of anything about him, but I'm not afraid. Actually, I'm very curious to know why he brought me here.

"Come on, I want to show you something," Jason says interrupting me from my thoughts and I follow him without hesitation through the woods.

It's calm and relaxing, the smell of mud and rotting plants is overpowering. And as we walk deeper through the woods I get used to the sound of insects and of our footsteps on the muddy track. I feel Jason suddenly but gently takes my hand, intertwining his fingers with mine. An electrifying feeling runs up my arm to my spine from where we touch, I sense my hand secured in his fondling and strong grip.

As we walk a little bit longer, always hand in hand, I've decided to ask him "Where are we going?" trying very hard not to sound nervous.

"To my favorite place" he replies while looking back at me with a dreamy smile.

I'd like to think that I'm special enough that I get to see his favorite place, but it would be absurd to think this way of someone that I barely know. But again we can never know what may happen because unexpected things happen at unexpected times for the most unexpected reasons.
