THE DATE: PART ONE

[A/N: HEY GUYS! For the amazing people who have been reading this since the first few chapters published, I have decided to locate this story in a fictional town named Anton. I have also mentioned this in the first chapter, in case you missed it. I don't know if there's really a place named like that, but let's keep it fictional XD] 

---

"I'm going to a friend's house. Be ready when I get here." Hunter said and I nodded. He walked out of the room, but then his head poked inside the room again, almost startling me. "Don't wear fancy." he winked at me and walked away. 

I laughed at his randomness. I unlocked my phone and saw that it was five. Well, two hours are more than enough, I guess. I got up from the bed and walked into the bathroom with my towel. I stripped out of my clothes and hopped in the shower, dancing as I washed myself. I felt happy for some reason. Who am I kidding? It wasn't happy for no reason; I was happy because of Hunter. I didn't expect him to bring me out on a date. I frowned a little. 

After having a nice shower, I dried myself and wrapped the towel around my body. I walked back to the room and opened he closet. I have no idea what to wear. After ten minutes of just staring at all my clothes, I decided to just wear ripped skinny jeans, a red tank top, and a black leather jacket that would go along with my red vans. 

I really never thought that Hunter would take me out on an actual date. He doesn't really look like that type of guy. He said that he didn't know what we are yet, and honestly, I don't mind him. I don't even know if I'm ready yet. I don't know if I would be able to handle all of this after what Tony has done to me. Tony ruined my whole life, and it feels like Hunter is picking up all my broken pieces. I'm scared that he's going to hurt himself while trying to fix me again. But then again, I don't think that he would care about that. 

But you do, stupid. 

I do care about Hunter. I have no idea what I'll do if he ever gets hurt because of me. I licked my lips. I should get ready. I put on my clothes and walked over to my desk. I released my hair from the messy bun and started brushing all the knots out of it. After I brushed my hair, I straightened it and just left it like that. I put on some lip gloss, mascara, and eyeliner. I didn't look that bad. I sighed as I stared at myself in the mirror. I have no idea what Hunter sees in me. I have no clue why he likes me. How does he even think I'm beautiful? 

Hunter is a hot guy and he deserves the very best. I'm just this stupid abused girl. He's amazing and I'm just not worth it. Come on, Zoe, don't get yourself down. I smiled at myself in the mirror. I can do this. I had no idea why I was so nervous about this. Hunter saw me in my bra, we made out uncountable times, and I'm still nervous about this. 

It's just a date.

Yeah, right. It's a date with Hunter fucking Adams. I took a deep breath and checked the time on my phone. I still had longer than fifteen minutes left, so I can just watch some TV until Hunter is here. I was curious to see where Hunter was going to bring me. I have no idea what to expect from him. Hunter can do anything. From a picnic to a midnight adventure; everything is possible. 

I walked into the living room and sat on the couch. I turned on the TV and just surfed through the channels. Watching TV was pointless, because I just started to zone out, thinking about stuff. I thought about what happened with Alyssa earlier. She really has been acting like a bitch lately. Or maybe I am the one being very annoying. Maybe... Just maybe I should forgive her. 

Suddenly there was this knock on the door and I stood up, turning off the TV. Well, dear Hunter is here. I walked to the front door, unlocked and opened it, only to see Hunter standing with a smirk on his face while his hands were stuffed in his pockets. He was wearing casual too. He was wearing a black shirt with black button up shirt over it and left it unbuttoned as always. He was also wearing his black jeans and black vans. It didn't take genius to notice that black was his favorite color. Not to mention that the color black looked kind of amazing with his tattooed body.

I need to calm down. 

I blushed and looked to the floor when I noticed Hunter giving me a cocky smirk. Suddenly I felt self-conscious for some reason. I clenched my jaw and blinked a few times. Why was I feeling like this? I wasn't supposed to be shy or insecure around Hunter. Hunter is the one that chose me, but then again, I was the one who had a freaking crush on him. I felt a hand under my chin, lifting it. I looked at Hunter and he smiled warmly at me. An actual warm smile with care. No resting bitch face, no glare, and no smirk; just a warm, actual smile. 

"You look gorgeous as always." he said and I grinned widely. 

Before I could compliment him back, he threw his arm over my shoulder and dragged me out of the house. I giggled as he stopped me and then turned around to lock the door. Once that was done, he turned around and took my hand in his. He led me to his car, opening the door for me. I thanked him and sat into the car. He jogged over to his side and sat in the car. Once we were buckled up, Hunter started the car and started driving. I was really excited to see what Hunter was going to make of this. 

"So, where are you taking me?" I asked and Hunter chuckled. 

"You really don't think that I'll tell you, right?" he glanced at me for a second and then looked at the road again. 

"But what if you kill me?" I tried to sound scared. 

"Then you die. It's simple, Zoe." he rolled his eyes playfully. 

I huffed and crossed my arms over my chest. He really wasn't going to tell me anything. I wanted to know. I didn't really like surprises, but somehow this did the work to keep me excited. Hunter was silent the whole time, while I just stared out the window, trying to figure out where he was bringing me. Unfortunately, that didn't help. I've never really been out of the house. The only route I knew was from my house to school and now from Hunter's house to the school. 

I feel so stupid now. I wish I had the chance to at least be able to explore the town. That would really help me right now. Suddenly I felt Hunter pull over and I turned my head to look at him. I frowned at him when I realized that everything around us were trees. Hunter gave me a look and I felt myself getting suspicious. What if he really does kill me? 

"We have to go a little further. I'll close your eyes." he said, gesturing to the large handkerchief in his hand.

I groaned, but he just glared at me and blindfolded me. I sighed and slumped in the seat. Well, might as well make myself comfortable. I heart Hunter chuckle."I swear, I can mistake you for a potato sometimes." 

I laughed along with him. "So, you're bringing a potato on a date." I chuckled. 

"What can I say? I have a thing for potatoes." he said and I started laughing once again. 

He started driving again, and I felt myself smiling. I never thought that I would be this happy with Hunter. He is the most amazing person I have ever met. Aside from Blaze that is. After a few minutes of driving, the car finally stopped and I heard Hunter get out. I waited until I heard my door open and Hunter grabbed my hand gently. He helped me out the car and wrapped one arm around my waist. I heard him close the door and removed his hand from my waist while he kept holding my hand. 

"We'll have to walk a bit." he said and I smiled. 

"Okay." 

He started walking and I just walked where he led me. I just hope that I don't trip over something. I squeezed Hunter's arm, trying to feel a bit safer. I mean, I don't want to break my neck now. After a minute or less of walking, Hunter finally stopped and let go of my hand. I heard footsteps behind me and I felt two arms wrap around me. I smiled when he rested his chin on my shoulder and kissed my cheek. 

"I have been planning this for a while now. I really hope you like it." he said, removing his hands from my shoulder. 

I felt him taking off my blindfold and I felt myself getting nervous again. Why was I even so nervous? 

Although I wasn't blindfolded anymore, I still kept my eyes closed. I was so nervous. I felt Hunter his arms wrapping around me again. "Open your eyes, baby." 

I smiled and slowly opened my eyes. As soon as my eyes opened, they grew wide. I felt myself grinning like an idiot. In front of me, was a picnic blanket with a basket on it, surrounded by red candles. Behind the blanket was a black tent with a soft looking sheet with pillows. I looked at Hunter and he grinned adorably. He looked like a kid who just walked into a candy shop. I completely turned around and without thinking, I wrapped my arms around his neck, hugging him tightly. 

"Oh my gosh, Hunter! I fucking love it!" I grinned and he hugged me tighter. 

"I'm happy you do." he nuzzled my neck. "Now, come on." he took my hand in his and started walking towards the picnic blanket. "I've worked hard on this." he chuckled. 

We sat down and Hunter took out our food. To be honest, I was very surprised at what he did. I expected him to just bring me to a restaurant or something. This is something completely different. I stared at Hunter in awe as he placed a plate with food in front of me. I don't think he noticed that I was staring. He took out a plate of his own and served himself his food. Hunter looked at me and I awkwardly looked away, making him chuckle. 

"You can stare. I know I'm hot." he took a bite of his food as I chuckled. 

I didn't say anything. I wasn't going to deny. He was actually very, very hot. But then again, when isn't Hunter Adams looking hot? I shook my head and went to my food. The food was actually amazing and I wouldn't even question it if he told me that he made it. Hunter is a very good cook. I ate as I felt myself drifting into my thoughts once again. I really loved everything about Hunter. This really made me question one thing. 

Was I falling for Hunter? 

 I smiled a bit and just continued eating my food. After eating our food, Hunter placed everything carefully in the basket again and placed the basket on the grass. We were surrounded by trees. It was like a very small field, surrounded with trees and covered with grass. I have no idea how he found out about this place. Hunter lay down and spread his arms, telling me to lie down too. I lay down next to him, resting my head on his chest while his arm was wrapped around my waist. 

This was just perfect. Being in Hunter's arms was perfect.
