Rocks.

Legit thats all I could see.

Rocks upon rocks, thousands upon thousands, overlapping each other and varying in sizes.

"Is this it?" i blurted out.

I felt the pressure around my legs loosen as Blake slowly started to bring my body down from his arms. I pouted a little, missing the warmth from his body but quickly wiped the pout off my face, remembering that I never wanted him to be holding me in the first place.

"No"

I rolled my eyes at his bluntness.

I took in my surroundings, ignoring my ankle that was still faintly throbbing. My eyes snapped over to two giant rocks that were brought together to create a massive stone cave. A curtain of vines hang from the very top of the two rocks, escalating down so it was covering the entrance of the cave. The vines acted almost like a door, making the opening of the cave secretly hidden. If Blake and I were standing further away I highly doubt that I would be able to realise that it was a cave. To be honest I felt as though I was in some sort of fairytale. The rocks and the trees, everything about this forest seemed almost magical.

"Come here" Blake's voice sent my body into a frenzy, snapping me out of my trance.

I looked at him, as he motioned for me to follow him. Biting my lip, i looked down at my ankle before looking back up at him. Judging from the small smirk that danced on his lips, I knew he knew what I was thinking.

I lifted my head up meeting his eyes as he came to a stop in front of me. His tall frame towered over mine as he stared down at me with teasing eyes.

"Wipe that smirk off your face" I snapped, which of course only made his smirk widen. Without warning, my body was scooped up effortlessly into his arms. He positioned me bridle style before he started walking.

I frowned, hating the way he could lift me up so easily. It made me feel so weak. He lifted me with such ease that it made me look like I weighed nothing.

"I know you enjoy being in my arms, there's no need for that fake frown." My eye brows shot up in surprise at Blake's teasing tone. Since when was he like this?

I stared at him in disbelief, "That is so not true" I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Either you're lying or you're just in denial...kitten "

"Call me kitten one more time and see where your pretty face ends up" I snapped.

I tried not to smile as a deep chuckle  escaped from his mouth.

"You think my face is pretty? Hmm"

I narrowed my eyes at him, studying the way his jaw glistened in the sun.

I wonder if my fist could connect with his jaw before he had enough time to block me?

I watched as Blake's smirk faltered before his lips formed into a straight line.

Fuck I think he caught me staring.

I was expecting him to snap at me but I was too busy calculating the seconds I had to land a good punch to his jaw, that I didn't notice his eyes flicker down to my lips.

Why was he looking at my lips?

My eyes knotted in confusion

Omg were they dry?

I licked my lips quickly, confused as they seemed normal.

Meeting Blake's gaze, my stomach fluttered as he bit on his own lips hungrily.

I didn't think he realized that I was watching him or maybe he was just content with staring at me in silence.

"Blake?" My voice was enough to snap him out of whatever trance he was in.

He coughed loudly, shaking his head. I looked at him in complete confusion.

Why was he acting like this?

"Blake" I clapped my hands in front of his face hoping to get his attention.

"Blakee- " i was instantly cut off.

"shut the fuck up I heard you the first time"

I smirked in accomplishment, "And he is back ladies and gentlemen." I clapped my hands together sarcastically.

"I think it's time to shut that mouth of yours" his voice was dangerously low as his lips brushed lightly against my ear.

My pulse immediately increased. The air around us instantly became thick as an unknown tension blossomed between us.

I cleared my throat loudly. This is not supposed to be happening. We were meant to be friends dammit! Don't do this to me! I felt like screaming in his face.

My stomach was fluttering wildly with butterflies, my skin in which his lips touched, tingling lightly.

An unknown glint swirled in the depths of his blue eyes. I gulped, clearly aware of our close proximity.

I took in a small breath as his lips neared mine.

I felt like pushing him back, I wanted to move away, but I didn't. Instead I continued to stare at him wordlessly.

Just as I thought his lips would press against mine, he moved his head only to press his lips to my temple. "We're here" he breathed into my ear.

I averted my eyes from his, ignoring my heart that was racing and instead looked behind him.

The rocks were so huge that they were towering over Blake and I.

My eyes took in the massive structure of the cave as well as the entrance that was covered in vines. If you looked closely enough, you could see that the green vines had tiny little pink flowers on them.

Remember that I was still dangling in Blake's arms, I gently shoved at his chest. "Down please"

I was surprised that he didn't complain, slowly however, ever so slowly untangling his arms from around my body before gently placing me on my feet.

I looked down at our entwined hands, feeling content with how small mine felt in his large one. His hands were rough but soft and I couldn't help but find myself studying the way they felt over mine. Like they were meant to be.

I mentally shook my head. Alright Heaven, enough with the mushy stuff.

I continued to look at our hands, shaking the tingling feeling off as Blake began to walk. I followed closely behind him, nearing the side of the cave before Blake grabbed ahold of the vines and pushed them to the side. The opening of the cave only revealed a pitch black entrance.

My feet stayed glued to the ground as I looked into the dark. I felt a tug at my hand but I remained in my spot. I looked at Blake's confused stare before my eyes darted back to the cave.

"your scared of the dark" it was more a statement rather then a question, but I met his eyes anyway. He looked at me intensively but there was no missing the amusement swirling in his eyes.

I crossed my arms over my chest "no I am not"

He tilted his head to the side, a dark smirking tugging at his lips. "Walk in then"

I clamped my mouth shut.

Okay he got me.

The dark scared the shit out of me. When your in the dark you can't see anything and I hated it. I'm scared of not knowing if i am alone or not. You don't know what or who is around you and that scares me. Also I still believe in monsters so- yeah not a fan of the dark.

I suddenly felt the very tips of Blakes fingers brush the side of my hand. I shivered slightly at the sudden contact.

"I have been through this cave a lot of times I know what I'm doing" His voice was reassuring but it didn't make me feel any different.

Oh man up Heaven.

"Ok let's go"

As soon as we stepped inside the cave I started to regret those words. It was completely pitch black that I could not see a thing. I clung onto Blake's arm like my life depended on it as he leaded me through the cave.

The cave was silent. There was no wind, no sound of rocks or sticks being crunched under my feet, just pure silence. The only sound heard was my heart that was thumping against my chest like anything.

I know I was being overly dramatic but I couldn't help it.

"See that wasn't so bad was it?" Blake's voice was soft as his lips brushed against my ear.

"I don't see no light yet dumbass" I rolled my eyes. The corners of my lips twitched as I swear I heard the faint sound of his dark chuckle that I loved.

Loved?

Oh god.

"Look now"

I shifted around, gaping opening at the sight in front of me.

This was so cool!

"Follow me" Blake pulled me along through the opening.

I felt as though I was entering another world. The smell of fresh grass hit me as I took a single step onto the grass. It was almost magical-you could even say that it didn't even look real.

The grass was a perfect soft green color. The trees were tall, lined up together, as the brushling deep leaves swayed amongst each other. The trees were tall enough to make Blake and I feel as though we were tiny. The sun was beeming down on us from the bright blue sky, not a single cloud in sight. I could feel the warmth from the sun on my skin as I squinted my eyes to see where Blake was taking me.

Still tugging at my arm, he continued to drag me along the grass before he brutally came to a stop.

Not expecting him to stop walking, my face collided with his rock hard back.

"Ow" I groaned, taking a big step back.

"This is where I come to be alone"

My eyes drifted up, behind Blake's body. I took in the cute tree house in front of me, taking in every single detail. It was made of dark wood as it sat on top of a big tree that looks like it has been broken. Wooden steps escalating down from the opening of the tree house, all the way down to the very bottom of the tree.

"I built it when I was 6 with my dad" Blake's voice startled me. I glanced sideways, noticing him staring at the treehouse in front of us with his jaw clenched.

"You don't look like your dad" I mentally face palmed myself at my stupid mouth. Why oh why do I have to say stupid shit in the wrong moment?

"What I meant to say is that when I met your dad at dinner, I didn't see any facial similarities" I stammered quickly.

"James isn't my father"

I gasped, "What?"

I was absolutely speechless. If James wasn't Blake's dad then why was he at the dinner?

My head suddenly began to clutter with all sorts of questions I was dying to know the answers to.

"James isn't my father, he's my uncle. " Blake gritted through clenched teeth as he slowly began to walk to the tree house.

His uncle? I continued to stay where I was, completely dumbfounded.

"Wait? What!" I followed after him.

A realisation suddenly dawned upon me. The realisation that there were many things about the bad boy I thought I had known.
