I groan, looking at my bare wardrobe. All the clothes I own are dumped and scattered around my bed and room.
"I have nothing to bloody wear!" I say out of frustration and Bryan yells,
"shut up. I'm doing homework and I don't need a maniac screaming the fucking house down!"
"You would never do homework, jackass. you ain't fooling no one."
"Oh just shut up."
"Fine." I huff, looking at myself in the mirror. I'm wearing a black striped romper with a different pair of vans and a teddy jacket. It's gonna have to work, whether the romper and shoes match or not. I quickly grab a pair of sunglasses, and walk down the stairs as fast as I can manage.
"Where are you going Bree?" Bryan comes out of the lounge room as I pack a small handbag.
"A date." I smile.
"With?"
"Hunter."
He sighs, "fine."
"I never asked for permission." I reply with a smirk.
"Alright then, I honestly can't be bothered to argue." He yawns and walks up to his room, probably to sleep. I swear he doesn't sleep a blink during the night.

Hunter's POV-
Shit shit shit. I haven't been on a date in so fucking long.
What the hell am I thinking? She's gonna hate it. What if she leaves? suck it up and get your shit together.
I grab a pair of jeans out of my wardrobe before chucking them on with a white t-shirt and vans. Simple but-what the fuck, who cares.
"Hunty!" Amber pulls me from my thoughts as she strides through the bedroom door.
"Mm?"
"Mama said you're going somewhere!"
"Yep." I say, grabbing my phone and a blindfold.
"What's that for?" Amber points to the blindfold.
"It's to surprise Bree."
"I like Bwee. She's pretty."
"I know aye?" I smile and then say bye to Amber and mum, who's downstairs.
"Be a gentleman." Mum reminds me.
"Yeah yeah." I say before giving leaving the house. All this effort better be worth it.
----
I knock on the front door, hastley wiping my sweaty palms on my jeans. Bree opens the door almost immediately, walking straight into my arms. I embrace her tightly, glad that she's not acting super awkward.
"Hey asshole." She smiles, her cheeks flushed.
"Hey clumsy," fuck, what do i say.
"Aw your nervous." Bree teases me.
"I'm not." I pout.
"You so are." She smiles cheekily. "You just don't want to admit it. Your reputation can't be ruined aye?"
"Oh shush, I'm not nervous."
"C'mon, big baby." She says, intertwining her fingers with mine. Once we get in my car, I lean over, placing my lips on hers.
"You look gorgeous." I whisper.
"You scrubbed up pretty well too." She replies.
"Aight, let's go." I say, placing my hands back on the steering wheel. "Hold up, put this on."
"Um why?" She asks as I throw the blindfold at her.
"You're gonna have a nap." I joke.
"Bree I'm joking, calm your shit." I laugh at her strange face expression. "It's a surprise."
"If you fucking murder me in the forest Maya will actually kill you."
"Trust me. I'm not a fucking murderer."
"Fine." She slides on the mask as I begin driving.

Bree's POV-
"We're here." Hunter says and just as I'm about to remove the blindfold, he grabs my hands. "Not yet."
I huff impatiently. It's actually so weird not seeing, like you can hear everything but only see darkness.
"Ok climb down here." Suddenly Hunter's voice is on the other side of the car and the car door is open.
I feel his hands grab ahold of mine, and he leads me out of the car.
"This way, there's a bit of a walk." I nod, following the light pull of his hands, that are leading me to... who knows where.
"Alright we're here." Hunter says and I can hear the smile in his voice. Excitement bubbles up inside me, eager to see what he's covered my eyes from.
"Ready?" Hunter asks, a hint of nervousness plays in his voice as he turns me around. We haven't opened any doors, so it must be an outside place.
"Yep." I reply, smiling. I feel Hunter move around, ending up behind me, and lift off my blindfold.
"Oh. My-Wow." I gape at the effort Hunter has put into this one night. Fairy lights are wrapped around a large tree, a picnic set up underneath the canopy of leaves.
A picnic basket is sitting on the checkered blanket, and the view is- this is the spot. Our secret spot. The whole place is so beautiful and almost enchanted looking. No one has ever done anything like this for me before.
"Do you like it?" Hunter asks, scratching his neck nervously.
"What the fuck, of course!" I practically squeal.
"I probably should've added some more lights, or a different-"
"It's perfect." I cut him off, and he grins.
"I haven't been on many dates before...it was more like fuck buddies with Georgia to be honest." Hunter shrugs before grabbing my hand and leading me to the picnic blanket, before I can reply.
"All this effort, I feel so...special." I say slowly and Hunter stops unpacking the food and his eyes snap to mine.
"You should always feel special B."
"Well I do now."
"Good." He replies simply, and then grabs the rest of the food. "I uh-can't really cook so I made sandwiches."
"Don't stress, I'll eat anything."
"Anything huh?" He smirks and I think, how could he make that dirty?! Only Hunter can think that shit.
"Hm maybe not anything after all."
"Alright then. Here, which one?" He holds out a plate of sandwiches, arranged in a spiral moving towards the centre of the plate. All of them are cut into 4 triangles.
"Um, this one." I grab a chicken, lettuce and mayo triangle and we begin eating.
"Mmm this is so good." I mumble through bites before picking up another sandwich.
"Thank fuck."
"You know you can eat too, you don't have to watch me." I laugh.
"I was not watching you eat."
"You so were."
"I was not."
"Was."
"Not."
"This is going to go on forever." I laugh.
---
By now, we have eaten nearly all the bloody sandwiches.
"Do you want a drink?"
"Yea sure." Hunter then passes me a cup in which I fill with coke.
"Ok let's play something." I smile.
"Like what?"
"21 questions."
"Sure, why not."
"Alright, what was your first-ever impression of me?" I ask.
"I thought you were super loud and you spoke your mind." He shrugs with a smile.
"what do you think of me now?" He asks with a serious face.
"I think that you come across as rude and shallow," He frowns, hurt written all over his face,
"But...underneath that mask and all the sourness, I see a guy who I love. I love his smile, his little nervous habits. I love his family and his kindness towards them, and I love his willingness to stay strong throughout everything."
"Bree?" Hunter smiles at me and I look into his eyes which are filled with so much love,
"will you be my girlfriend?"
AND I OOP- SKSKSKSK . someone stop me.
