The dream first date.Part 1.

I honestly didn't catch on the last five minutes that Kenshin was only lengthening the drive because I was singing.
Ugh,I want to die....

"If I didn't stop driving to a date,an event really, I have been waiting for over a decade to have do you think I would stop now for no reason?Why do you look as though you are going to be sick?"

I am pouting and try to shake myself out of it.
Be the heroine,be honest,have some backbone.

"I hate my voice,I can't believe I actually sung out-loud,in front of ....you know.You."

My glance finds him now staring at me,we are finally parked and it is almost pitch black dark here and I narrow my eyes at him.

"Are you here in a place this dark to be ungentlemanly or to kill me and hide me somewhere?"

He leans in close to me,close enough that I smell some sort of different but altogether wonderfully spicy cologne that is making my brain spin in too many directions to be decent and I wag my head almost like a dog to clear it away.
The words are soft as a whisper but heat flares on my cheeks in moments anyway.

"Firstly,I think your voice is rather lovely.I drove an extra few minutes because I enjoyed the moment too much for it to end.Your embarrassment is greatly misplaced.Secondly,though I would find where I am taking you a poor place to kill my beloved Lovely,I do admit it a fine place to be a little ungentlemanly though I will not.On my honor."

The way he says it,even his movements are comical but sincere,he walks calmly to the passenger side,letting me out and I see very little.I eye him suspiciously but he only waggles his eyes just a bit too much to be plotting my murder.
He extends his arm and I stare at it,for whatever reason I hesitate and it unsettles Kenshin slightly but he doesn't force it,he just extends his hand to guide me forward.

I follow him and we only just parked at what looked like a old amusement park but he walks us forward,it is just starting to get dark out and the city lights are dim,distant.My eyes are slowly adjusting as I follow him further into the park remains where I do begin to see light,the broken down rides are becoming a far cry from what is gradually becoming before my eyes.

He has a large tent at the heart of this park,the dark of the night and lack of city lights are making it nearly invisible to anyone at a distance but we are nearing it.Kenshin stands,moving to the side so that I may walk ahead of him inside the tent.
Again I hesitate.
Again I do not understand why I am doing that.

I look at him,the hesitation seems to be hitting him a little and I feel the need to reach out,say something like what I am really feeling.

I am scared.

"Trust me.Please?"

Just the way he said it,weak knees and my heart feels it.
It is not a forced move,nor a manipulation or an attempt to frighten me.

No.
A request.

I inhale,then exhale.
My hand finds it's way into his,the moment isn't wasted and he slowly,to be sure it is consented weaves his fingers into mine and I do as requested.

I trust him.

I cannot believe my eyes when I do.

Kenshin leads me inside the tent and it is only lit by some small lights growing brighter as we walk in further,He releases my hand and I do not stop the confused puppy face that takes over my expression which alone makes him laugh but he expresses with his hands.
"Go on."

I do ,but I do not deny myself another narrow eyed expression that is playful rather than suspicious as I gently  walk in.
My short boot heels clack slightly like I have beneath me flooring like a dance hall or something but all I see is as before little fairy like lights that are becoming stronger as I near the heart of this tent.

I smell the smells of various floral scents like lavender and rose,cherry blossoms and peach blossoms and it is a lovely sort of heady scent.It doesn't leave my attention that Kenshin is no longer beside me and with the little growing light I have at the center of this tent I see his face in the light from his cell phone,I catch sight of him punching a few buttons and then something happens.

Soft music plays,I hear the violin and a piano.
Acoustic guitar and even some drums playing a melody of a song I know but am not recalling the name as of yet but it makes all the girly sides of me get the giggly- girly sensations I am not used to.

Lights are slowly coming on all around me that create a scene that only would have been in a movie or a fantasy that I do not know if even my writer inclined mind would have thought of.

It takes my breath away in moments and I am holding my hand over my mouth and my eyes are moist with tears that I normally cry never really.

The lights are covering gently a multitude of cherry blossom and peach trees that are planted in the parts of the ground that have no flooring,there are also willow trees around that are creating this fantasy film effect with the gentle overhang that touches my hair and tickles my arms.
The music goes in hand with how the flowers seem to be alive with a little help from a fan hidden somewhere but it is so lovely I search not for it,A table and two small chairs are at the edge of the floored area that in of itself is lovely red wood with hand drawn engravings of swords,cherry blossoms,sunflowers and little pens, books, and scrolls throughout.

This whole room is like a fantasy straight out of my very own head and I am amazed.so much so I turn to look at him again to find Kenshin slowly walking up to me,his left hand in his pocket and his right hand unconsciously tightening,that nervous tick he has.
Those eyes of his do not lose sight of mine but they look so suddenly  frightened.

"Do you like it Lovely?I had pictured this in my mind since I was very little,since you laughed like a song at me back then.I thought of this that very day,worked on it for a long time."

I can't think of anything to say to him,that few moments of hesitation seems to be misunderstood and he falters a little in confidence which is very unlike him which I do not think I can abide.

Ever.
Maybe never again.

My feet are really fast as I near him,I put a hand out and touch his cheek.He freezes as though of all my possible reactions this one was not at all expected but when it clicks to him what I am about to say Kenshin looks like if relief had a face it would be of a happy and genuinely joyous young man.

"Where did you learn how to make fantasies come to life,or rather how could I have gotten one before my eyes?"

I get closer to him,get on tiptoes so that I may get close to his ear like he did to me and the motion and the action itself makes him actually blush a delightful shade of crimson.

"Is that an answer enough?"

His smile,even mine too.

Seem to be more than answer enough.
