for him and his eyes met hers.
    “Uh….hi,” he spoke with extreme nerves coursing through him.
    Kylie chuckled as he cleared his throat. “Good evening, you look lovely.” He said as his composure regained.
    Kylie stifled another laugh and bl ushed a bit at his compliment, “Good evening.”
    He handed her the flowers and leaned in to kiss her cheek. She smiled as his breath tickled her sensitive skin.
    “Come in Derek,” she paused stepping aside so he could enter her tiny apartment, “Let me just find something to put these lovely flowers in. Thank you very much, they’re beautiful.”
    “You’re welcome,” he was nervous and this made Kylie let out a little laugh as she watched while she retreated to her kitchen to get a vase.
    He was good looking. Brown eyes that wore every emotion he was feeling, and not to mention a smile that made her absolutely melt. As she placed the flowers in the vase with some water she just stared at him. He stared back at her and there was chemistry unlike any she had ever felt.
    Coming around her kitchen counter she walked over to him. Extending her hand in an open gesture hoping he would take it. He smiled down at her hand and laced his fingers in between hers.
    Locking his eyes onto to hers once more he spoke the nerves slowly fading, and excitement taking over. “Are you ready to go?”
    She only smiled and nodded and with that that was led out of her apartment. She never let go of his a she locked up the door. She didn’t want to let go of his hand or him ever. They headed down the stairs and towards his car for their date.

    Kylie shot up in bed her eyes wet, her heart beating so fast she thought it was going to pop right out of her chest. She shook her head trying to clear her mind. She took some deep breaths searching for some sort of calm. Calm didn’t though, and with the sun coming up now she thought of only one place she wanted to be, ‘THE SWING’ .

Chapter 10

    She grabbed her phone as she headed out to the porch. She curled up on the swing watching as the sun was still rising in the sky. She sighed a deep sigh.
    “Too much perfection is my problem.” She whispered to nobody but herself or so she thought.
    “Too much perfection, is there such a thing?” A now familiar voice spoke from behind her.
    She turned and found David exiting the house. Going over to a porch railing directly across from her and the swing and leaning against.
    Kylie shrugged, “I don’t know it certainly seems to be the only thing I can grasp onto as to the possible problem.”
    David nodded, “Still considering breaking his heart by leaving, I see.” It wasn’t a question; it was a statement one laced with anger and heartache. It was a statement she couldn’t disagree with either.
    “I don’t want to break his heart.” Kylie fired back, “but if October comes around and I am still just as confused as I am now I won’t have a choice.” She spoke firmly, but her voice breaking at the same time.
    “There is always a choice Kylie, always.” He lowered his head and walked towards the old oak tree vanishing once more before her eyes.
    She leaned her head against the swing, and sighed. She knew David was right. There was a choice she just needed to be sure it was the right choice. She wanted to make sure whether or not she stayed or left that is was the right thing to do for her. The choice wasn’t about Derek; she finally realized the choice was about what she felt was going to end up being right for her life.
     
     
     

 
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter 11

    She closed her eyes trying to relax from her latest encounter with David, from the dreams, from everything she had been feeling, but relaxation was interrupted by the sound of her phone ringing. She sighed looking at the number debating whether or not to answer the call.
    It was her older brother John. Her b rother had always been fond of Derek. She always took this as a good sign since he hated every guy she ever
