"Are you serious?" I looked at him with wide eyes. I took in the area in front of me and grinned widely. 

"You like it?" He smiled at me.

"Of course I like it! It's been so long since I came to this park!" I jumped happily then took his hand dragging him towards the swings.

That's right, we were in a park. Nothing special, but this park was very close to my heart. I always used to come here when I was young with my mom but stopped when we moved to the other side of the city.

I ran towards the swings giggling like a little girl and started to swing back and forth. Ryan came behind me and started pushing. I laughed as I swung higher and Ryan mirrored my emotion. Hearing him laugh made me feel fuzzy inside and now I feel I am closer to the real him and not to the Ryan with the bad boy façade.

I slowly came to a halt still laughing. I realized this was the first time I have genuinely laughed in a long time. I looked at Ryan and saw him looking at me with a smile. 

He looked so good. His dark messy hair moved lightly in the wind and his green eyes sparkled with happiness. I looked at his outfit, he had his usual dark jeans with a chain hanging from the side, a red muscle tank top which perfectly hugged his chiseled body and a leather jacket. Typical bad boy but so hot. I looked back up at him to see him sporting his stupid smirk and I blushed furiously at being caught checking him out.

"Like what you see?" He teased grinning.

No use in denying now.

"Yes actually, a lot." I smirked back.

 Take that! 

But it was true.... no matter how much I deny.

Finally!

You again...

Yup me again!

What do you want now? *groan*

Nothing, just happy you admitted your feelings!

Yeah whatever.

I looked at him to see his cheeks tinted pink.

  Was he blushing? No way! He looked so cute! 

I giggled and without thinking pinched his cheeks.

"You are so cute when you blush" I cooed.

He blushed darker and swatted my hands, "I..I did not blush!" He stuttered making me chuckle.

"You did! And you still are!" I laughed while he glared.

"No!"

"Yes"

"No I did not!"

"You totally did!"

"No" he said stepping closer to me.

"Yes" I laughed but stopped when he bent towards me. I froze for a second when I felt his warm breath on my neck.

"Maybe yes...but only for you." He whispered huskily in my ear making me shiver and turn red as a tomato.

He stepped back looking smug at my response while I looked anywhere but him. He held my arm and led my towards an ice cream parlour next to the park.

It was small but cozy. We walked up to the counter to a guy about our age, maybe a year to two older, he had blond hair and light brown eyes.

He looked at us, or more like at me, and smiled showing his dimples. He was cute.

"What can I get for you?" He asked in a flirty tone leaning over making me blush.

But before I can reply Ryan snaked his arm around my waist and pulled me to him kissing my cheek. I looked at him shocked but my insides were tingling at his touch making heat crawl up my neck.

"She'll have cookie n' cream and vanilla for me." He said glaring at the guy who held up his hands in a surrendering gesture.

I again looked at him with confusion, "How do you know my favourite flavor?" I asked.

He seemed startled by this and scratched the back of his neck.

 "G..guessed?" He said smiling nervously. I nodded but I know something is up.

After we got our ice creams, we walked back to the park and sat on the bench. It was almost evening now and the sun was low on the horizon making the sky blush a brilliant orange-red shade.

We sat there in a comfortable silence watching a little boy and a girl around five years old playing in the sand, they were laughing and building a sand castle together. Two guys older than them came running and stomped on their castle destroying it making the cute little girl cry. The boy with her looked at her sadly then threw sand at the older boys in anger making them run away.

 He went over to her and gave a chocolate kissing her on the cheek, she immediately stopped crying and looked at him smiling through her tears while he grinned and then they ran towards the swings.

I smiled at this sweet encounter and felt sudden warmth in my hand. I looked down to see Ryan's hand on mine. I smiled shyly and saw him too watching those two little kids with a small smile on his face.

He turned towards me with a weird expression, "Mae...do you r..remember?" He asked hesitantly.

I looked at him confused, "remember what?"

He motioned with his head towards the kids. I looked over at them still confused and was about to ask him what he meant but then something clicked in my mind. A long forgotten memory resurfacing. And my eyes widened

Ryan....I have met him before.
