"you are not joking"
"am serious" I said taking my eyes back on the road.
"Thank you "
"for what" I was clueless why he was thanking me.
"For taking me on a long drive ,if you are too tire we can go another day" he said with a sad face but full of concern.
"it's okay ,am returning the favor,it seems you enjoy long drive ,do you usually go on them? "
"I used to " tears were forming in the corner of his eyes.
"it's okay if you don't wanna talk about it"
" it's that my grandpa used to take me on long drives when I was a kid" he was smiling remembering those days.
"what happened " I asked wanting to know more
"he relocated to Korea,he come last summer and we went on a long drive ,I really miss him" he last words come as a whisper.
" I leave with him when I was i high school but I really missed home that's why I came back "
" your grandpa must really love you" I pointed out .
"yeah he does am his favorite grandchild after all" he said smiling.
"your talk a lot" this is not how I imagined him being, I thought he was cold and arrogant.
"only to people I feel comfortable around" he said leaning on the window.
"meaning your are comfortable around me" that was unexpected,we nearly know each other.
"stop the car" he said out of blue
"what" I was confused why he wanted me to stop. I did as he said and stop .
He come out of the car cheerfully ,I was confused but I just followed him."Hey where are you going it is really dark."
"Are you scared of darkness" he said grabbing my hand and started running, the place was freaking scary and quiet.
"oh my god where are we" I was shocked,my eyes were wide open and my mouth half open.
The place was full lit up and it was breathe taking ,I don't know that this kind of place existed .
"what for me here,don't go anywhere" he said and before I could even respond he was gone.
The place was full of tress it was nearly like a forest but full of light and made it more beautiful.
he come back with two pillows and a mat, after laying the mat down he laid down and patted the space next to him .
it almost midnight but I look like it was daytime but full of Stars in the sky.
we stayed like that for a while without talking just feeling what was around us.
"Close your eyes" he order.
"do I even have I choice" I said closing my eyes.
"1,2,3" I hear him counting.
"you can open them" he said.
" wow,wow" are the only word that left my mouth.i was mesmerizing with what I saw,the stars shinned brightly and they were full visible which is impossible for one to see the stars direct like this due to pollution in the city,but this was the city still but I look more like a countryside.
"did you like it " he said turning around to face me which I did turn to face him too.
" I loved it " I whispered.
"my grandpa used to take me here when I was sad and tired it always made me relaxed."
He stayed there untile one and we decided to go back home .
"Hey am Jeremy White I love fashion that why I take a course in fashion design,I want one day to own my brand design" I said introducing myself.
"Am Mark Anderson Miller,I love modeling , photography but am taking degree in business management which I actually hate" he said laughing.
"if you hate it why do it" I asked i know it was a bite personal but I was curious to know
"I made a deal with my father,I do business management and he will not interfere with my personal life and what I do in my free time" he know how to cut a deal.
"at list you do what you love, photography" I emphasizing my words.
