Graveyard dates are beautiful

BLAKE's POV

Samira shakes her head at me. "What now Mr. I cAn sHoW yOu ThE wOrLd?" She mocks. "Why are you so mean to me" I wipe a fake tear off.

"Let's walk around and hope that we catch some signal." I extend my hand towards her. She lifts her eyebrow. "Let me make this as date worthy as possible princess." I plead. "Fine but only cause I like you so much." she puts her hand in mine. I feel butterflies in my stomach and I unintentionally giggle. Sam laughs melodiously and comes closer.

She rests her head on my arm as we walk. It was quiet but not awkward. Her company somehow comforted me. Let me tell you a secret, I look like a big tough guy but I might shit my pants if anything remotely scary happens.

We see the gravestones ahead and I clutched her hand tighter. "Don't worry Strongboi, I'll save you from any Boogeymen that try to harm you" she pats my shoulder. "You're SO funny princess" I say sarcastically, making her chuckle.

We walk through the enormous yard of death. To make me feel less scared Sam tries to pronounce some of the names as we pass by. "Milady Shitznovika? Now that's a unique name" she says. "Her father was surely a gentleman." I say and both of us chuckle.

"BLAKE LOOK!" She yells. "AAAAAAAA MOM I LOVE YOU BOOGEYMAN DON'T TAKE ME!" I flinch and hide behind Sam. A hit on my head makes me look up. "Dummy I was pointing at that tree house." She shakes her head. "Are you trying to kill me woman? I almost shat myself." I pout and she laughs.

Out of nowhere she pecks my cheek and runs towards the tree house, looking back and giggling. A smile takes over my face and I run after her.

Like a pro monkey she climbs up the ladder. Well someone works out. I follow just as fast and shiv just giggles harder. Once I reach the top I pounce at her.

"Do you think you can escape that easily after nearly melting my whole body?" I huff. She chuckles and boops my nose. "You're adorable Blake Santos." I clutch my heart cause I think it will explode. "No human should have such a super power. I swear princess you can get away with anything with that warm smile." I shake my head.

A 'ting' breaks our conversation and I pull out my phone. "ITS A SIGNAL!" I scream in joy and punch the air. "Heck yes thank god! Give me your phone for a second" she says and I hand my phone over to her.

I see her google our current location and clicks on the topmost article. "The mortuary may look lovely on the outside but not many people have spent more than half an hour inside. Legend says that the ghost of a girl named Milady Shitznovika still haunts the place..." she stops reading.

I feel a chill go through my back. I huddle closer to Sam. "At least we complimented her father of being a gentleman." I say, my voice shaking a little. "Well that's the thing, she was murdered by her dad." She gulps.

I panic and start reciting bible verses. "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid." I chant. "You're such a scaredy-cat" she laughs.

SAMIRA's POV

It should be made illegal to look this cute while shit scared. Blake is still clutching onto my arm. I try to book an UBER out but the signal went just as fast as it came.

I close my eyes and hear the faint sound of water. "Blake I think there is a lake nearby. Let's go!" I jump up and almost literally pull him down with me.

I follow the pleasant sound

and drag Blake along with me. We reach the lake and to say it looks beautiful would be a huge understatement.

There is a gigantic banyan tree covering almost the whole bank. There is beautiful grass covering the ground below and it smells like petrichor. Oh the perfection.

Suddenly 'Little things' by One Direction starts playing and I look at Blake extending his hand towards me. "Can I have this dance, princess?" He bows. "Oh why yes you can" I curtsy.

He pulls me and glues his body against mine as we move with the music. I rest my head on his chest, listening to his heart's calming beat.

He rests his head on mine and we sway in synchrony. A blinking light catches my attention and I look up. "Look Sam there are fireflies!" He says looking excited. His wide smile melts my heart. "It's beautiful" I say, my eyes not leaving him. He looks down and meets my eyes, his wide smile still intact. He presses his forehead against my own and I feel like I'm the happiest girl in the whole galaxy.

My first date turned out the best it could've ever been.
