It was a perfect day to get out and about of the house, and now, here he was going up a hill with his favorite girl behind him. He shook his head, when he could hear her behind wishing that he would slow down. This wasn't her type of thing, but it was for him. She wanted to go hiking and this is what they were doing, but he knew that she wasn't enjoying it at all, but he was. His tank hung out of his back pocket of his shorts and his sunglasses donned his face. He turned back, smiling at her. "Get off the ass and move!"
He knew that would definitely piss her off as he was making his way back to where she had stopped. He sighed, running his fingers over his hair. "Do you need to be carried? Y'know I can do it." He smirked, down at her. "Toss ya over the shoulder and carry you the rest of the way." He rested his hands on his waist, waiting for her to be ready to go again. Things were going for them, even though they still had their moments where an argument would come into play. Mostly on his end, but of course, they would always make up the way they were used to.
He smiled, watching her stand back on her feet. "C'mon, move that ass." His hand came across her cheek, smirking, already knowing that a hit was gonna come his way.

Eliana knew that she didn't want to go through with the activity. It sounded fun but also exhausting when you looked at the cons. If you wanted more pros on it then it was a good time to spend quality time with her boyfriend. She was already over the hiking and sighed heavily crossing her arms.
She frowned hearing him demand that she moved. Instead she stomped her foot on the ground not moving an inch. "No. I'm tired. I'm over this. Let's go back." she huffed watching him came down towards her. The awkward stage seemed to have passed but there was always that annoying moment. "Tossing me over your shoulder isn't what I call a good time." she rolled her eyes not caring if he saw them through her tinted shades.
Her fist collided with his arm and she moved past up bumping into him on purpose. "Culo tonto, nunca puede mantener sus manos a sí mismo." Eliana mumbled turning to look back at him only toss her head back staring up at the sky. She grunted making her way back down again and stood in front of him. She moved his shoulders making him turn his body and she leaped on his back draping her arms down his chest. "Tall ass fucker. You can do your job now." she grinned kissing his cheek leaving an imprint.

He laughed, feeling her fist coming against his arm and then her bumping into him. "Aw babe." Laughing a bit harder, hearing her comment. "Well my hands like your ass." He smirked, watching her throw some type of tantrum. He shook his head as she came back towards him.
He felt her hands against his shoulders, making him turn around, his back against her before feeling her arms around him. He smirked, feeling her her lips against his cheek, shaking his head as he rested his arms under her legs, hiking her up a bit, getting a good grip on her. "Just hold on." He held onto her as he started to make his way the hill with her on his back. It was a piece of cake, carrying her. "Next time, you wanna do something, pick something that you know you want to do." He cracked. He knew that this was going to be a workout for her, more than it would be from him. He got up to the hill, standing there at the top with her on his back.
He smirked, looking back at her. "See you only had a few feet to walk lazy ass." He joked with her before placing her on her feet. He wrapped his arm around her waist, kissing her forehead, knowing that he was sweaty. "I want love, so don't deny it." He wrapped his other arm around her, pulling her closer, covering her face with kisses, just waiting for her to push him away.

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER LIFE
She ignored his commentary and enjoyed the scenery as he made his way up the hill. Although she could've used this opportunity to walk and take pictures, she didn't want to just yet. She could just go on her own one day and drag herself up the hill to do the task at a later date. "I did pick something to do that I liked. I'm hanging with you aren't I? Something that I don't have to do but I do." she joked. Eliana found enjoyment in the teasing and just decided to enjoy the view before them.
"Shut up grease monkey. Regardless of if I was tired or not, I still would've jumped on your back." she replied flicking him in his ear with her fingers. She frowned feeling his lips against her forehead and looked at him glistening with sweat. She hated the fact that soon she would smelling like Bailey when he went outside for too long. Before she could deny of him of his request, he already pulled her closer to his body not leaving an inch worth of room. She twisted her body trying to escape his love and sighed heavily.
Eliana pulled back scuffing wiping her face dramatically. "Disgusting." she muttered laughing a bit. She removed her shades squinting her eyes clipping them in the inside of her tank. Leaning fourth, she grabbed his taking them off his face putting them onto her own and felt his pockets for phone. She hit the camera option and turned on her heel leaning against her sticking her tongue out to side of her mouth snapping a photo of the duo.
She occupied herself with setting the photo as his new wallpaper and lock screen photo before handing it back. "Now what? You're all gross and I'm all gross. This is just not cute." she questioned removing his glasses placing them back on his face and cupping his cheeks in her hands. Her lips pressed against his and she wrapped her arms around him tightly. "I'm such a nice person even if you smell, I still hug you. That says a lot." Eliana rested her tongue between teeth. She smirked and shook her head at how she even managed to semi-accomplish this task. "I promise I'll walk down on my own." she crossed her fingers giving him a scouts salute.

She really didn't have to come up with this little outing. It was sweet of her to want to hang out with him because she really didn't have to. Yeah, they were dating, but sometimes, it was cool to just kick it around the house. BUT sometimes it didn't hurt to go out and enjoy the great outdoors, even if it was hiking. "All right, you have a point." He shrugged, running his fingers over his hair.
Smiling, he enjoyed feeling her squirm against him, trying to get out of his grip. He laughed, taking a step back, watching her wipe away at her face. "It was all love babe. All love." He threw her a wink before she removed her shades and decided to take his. He shook his head, letting her do whatever she was doing until she started to reach into his pocket. "What are you--," she grabbed his phone out of his pocket and going for the camera app on his phone. She rested herself against him before taking a picture of them.
He took his phone, looking at the picture. "Thanks," he smirked, placing his phone back into his pocket. He looked out, taking in the view before turning back to her. "We can do whatever. We can…" He stopped and then went on to say, "I can keep going and carry you until we get tired, and you need to work up a sweat," he smirked, stepping back over to her. Instead of doing that while fucking me." He wrapped his arms around her waist. "And besides, you sweaty is kinda sexy." He pulled her closer to him, his grin still across his lips.
"It really does." He lifted her off the ground, kissing her. "I'll hold you to that promise." Pecking her lips again, he placed her back down on her feet. He pulled away a bit, but still had his arms wrapped around her. He looked at her, just admiring her. He didn't even think that they would have made it this far, but hell, he was glad that they did. He needed her, even if he didn't want to admit to it or not.

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER LIFE
His commentary seemed to have only annoyed her. The more he talked, the more she was really eager to hit him or something drastic. Eliana really needed to sort out her anger issues because nobody should have such an effect on her to constantly piss her off. This was becoming a serious problem and she didn't like it. She was highly offended by his sexual comment on only sweating during sex.
Her face had gotten fuller and she was becoming insecure over it. She counted to ten in her head and brushed her hair back. Her mood was becoming less and less chipper by the minute hearing him speak. "Whatever." she spoke in a mellow tone. Although she hated being in this position at this very moment, she didn't pull away.
Eliana caught his gaze and she pressed her lips together. She really needed to learn how to let shit slide but she hated dealing with bullshit. "I hate the gym. It's fucking boring and your joke was far from funny so watch yourself." she removed herself from his grip walking passed him. She started making her way back down and dug through her purse grabbing the water bottle from it. "How bout you motivate me instead of making sexual comments? I'm naturally skinny but my face is getting fat as fuck and well, I don't like that shit.' she sighed pinching at her own cheek in disgust.

Right now, he noticed that the mood had changed instantly. He could tell by the look on her face. What the hell did he say this time? It seems like whatever he would say to her would end up pissing her off. "What?" He rolled his eyes, her pulling away from him. She couldn't even take a joke anymore. "It was a joke Eli.' He sighed, running his hand over the back of his neck as she walked past him.
This was suppose to be a fun outing and them just hanging out but of course, her bitchy attitude was coming into play. He didn't even see anything wrong with her. She looked good to him. Always has, always will, but it seem to definitely bother her. He didn't know how to keep his foot out of his mouth, but he would try his best to try to make this day a little better. "Shit…" He muttered, walking in her direction. He stood near her, his hands shoving into his pockets.
"I'm sorry. i was just making a joke." Licking his lips, he rocked back and forth slightly on his heels. "I didn't mean for it to hurt." He looked down at his feet before looking back at her. "You're still beautiful to me." He didn't need her mad at him. He couldn't stand to have her mad at him. He would do whatever just to keep her happy.

As much as she wanted to dismiss the fact, Eliana was in the wrong. She had no legit reason to get mad over something so simple. It really wasn't that big of a deal and she shouldn't even worry about having a fuller face. She knew she was way more secure with herself and not acting like it at this very moment made her feel bad. She couldn't open up for the life of her and it was pointless being in a relationship if there was nothing positive about it.
"You don't need to apologize Dylan. It's fine really." she nodded. Eliana thought it was nice for him to apologize but he didn't do anything wrong to her. All he did was comment and for some reason that bothered her. "I should be the one apologizing." she sighed. All she had been doing was pushing him away repeatedly. She wasn't good at this whole love thing which was completely pitiful. "I'm sorry for acting like the biggest bitch on the planet to you. You don't deserve it... okay that's a lie sometimes you do but not right now." she looked at him straight in the eye.
Eliana knew she needed to work on her attitude. It wasn't the easiest thing in the world. Nobody had patience or really understood her like Jude. She didn't know how she did it but she did it. She walked up towards him wrapping her hands around his neck pulling him in for a tender kiss not over doing it. "Can we do something fun and try to have a good day please?" she was begging more so herself. She had to be more open with him if she couldn't be with anybody else after all he was her boyfriend.

He didn't know what was going on with her. He just wished that he knew why she was acting this way. She was pushing him away, and he didn't like it. They were in a relationship together. He didn't want anything to mess up the relationship, even if it was just a small argument like this. To him, it was stupid. He wanted her to open up and just talk to him. He knew it was going to be hard, but he wanted her to at least try.
He shook his head, giving her a small smile. "It's all right." He had already forgiven her for it. There was no point of apologizing, but happy that she did. It was something that he would have to remember because he wouldn't know if he'll get that ever again. He wanted to understand her. I wanted to know what made her tick and what made her mad. Just wanting to know her inside and out.
Resting his hands at her waist, returning the kiss. He sighed, looking down at her. Giving her a smile, he nodded. "Yeah," he pecked her lips before pulling away. "You wanna keep going or wanna turn back?" Their day had to get better. He wanted that good mood to come back. He didn't care what the hell they did. As long as he was spending it with her, it would make whatever they were doing ten times better.

She didn't want to ruin the day anymore. She wanted to act like the pettyness on her part didn't just happen. It was going to be swept under the rug and she was going to move forward happily. At least happily to the best of her ability. Eliana heard his question and she looked up at the hill and looked behind her.
In her opinion, going back down would just prove her laziness and she really needed to go over that too. Eliana needed to keep fit because she couldn't imagine herself any bigger then she already was unless that reason was pregnancy. She laced her fingers with hers pulling her boyfriend up the hill once again. The workout would be good for them and they weren't going to die from dehydration so they were okay. She needed the push and was kind of glad he was trying to motivate her because she would do the same if the roles were switched.
"Okay so maybe hiking isn't so bad. Just something you gotta get used to." she commented. She looked around and huffed at the wind blowing her hair in every direction. "Maybe we should do this more often. Just sit up here and talk. Corny shit like that." Eliana mumbled grabbing her hair into her hands and tying it into a bun with the elastic hair tie found deep in her purse. She was never going to admit that she liked the quality time spent with him or how content she was with him around. No hesitation was added when she rested her head against his shoulder enjoying the complete silence for the time being.

He was wanting for her answer. He looked around, taking everything in. Why end their day so soon? His question was answered when her fingers laced with his and starting to pull him behind her. He smiled, following behind her. It was crazy to actually to spending a day with her outside, and not behind the walls that was her place or his. It was nice to get out once in awhile. He kinda wanted to show her off. He loved her….He did.
Love really wasn't something that they said to each other. He knew why. To him, he didn't want to rush it just quite yet between the two. He wanted it to be the right time for them. He didn't want to say it and then have himself be rejected, but it didn't hurt to just get out and say it. Even if she wasn't there yet, at least she knew that he loves her. He was thrown out of his thoughts, listening to her speak. He shrugged. "It's not bad at all. You'll get used to it eventually." He rolled his bottom lip into his mouth, looking at her, just admiring her. He looked away, hoping not to look at her long enough without being a creeper.
"If that's what you want, we can." He smiled. Whatever she wanted to do, he would do it. Even if it was something that he didn't want to do, he would still do it. He wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her close, her head rested against his shoulder. Weird to say that it was perfect right now. Did he want to ruin it by saying I love you? Maybe he should wait. He looked down at her, resting his lips against her forehead.

There was three words that didn't exactly exist in the vocabulary of Eliana Barrios. She couldn't even remember the last time she even bothered to mumble, uttered or fully say them. They seemed to be overrated because people just seem to use the words so freely. Eliana liked when words had meaning and she wasn't going to say something if she didn't mean it at all. Those three words were I love you.
She knew that she didn't feel that way with Dylan yet. It was way too soon to be feeling like that in her opinion. Eliana wasn't going to deny the fact that he did make her happy but the relationship was fresh. She didn't want to say knowing that she was just lying to him to make him feel better. Letting her guard down was going to be the biggest thing ever for her and she hoped that he would have patience.
Eliana wasn't going to give up so quickly because she was going to love him and when the time came, it would be appropriate and meaningful. She smiled feeling his lips against her forehead. Her nose crinkled and she wrapped her arm around his torso intertwining one leg with his. "Good so shhhh. I don't want to hear nothing but your breathing and the birds." she smirked. She looked up at him kissing his cheek til she rested back against him again. The feeling was quite peaceful being that it was only them along with small animals climbing trees and birds chirping.
"Whenever we move, maybe we can go to dinner or something." she suggested. Eliana realized they never had a proper date or anything. The thought of even considering it a date did make her nervous. She was surprised she even suggested going to dinner in the first place. "It can be like a date or something." Eliana commented feeling her face get flushed and she covered the side of her face with her hand.

Maybe he should just wait. He didn't want to rush it. He wanted the moment to be right and this was the proper moment for him to actually say those three little words. In a way, he wanted the moment to be more intimate than what it was right now to him. He really didn't want their day to come close to be ruined again with him wanting to be romantic. He never saw himself the romantic type, but he was willing to change for her.
He never thought in a million years that she would be the one to change him around. It wasn't going to be easy. Small baby steps. He was willing to do that. Feeling her arm wrapping around his body, her leg lacing with his. He smiled, not wanting to hear no more talking. He was up for that, just taking in the surroundings. It let him do a lot of thinking. He was letting his guard down, ready to commit. It was crazy that he knew that she wasn't ready yet.
He would wait. He would wait as long as it takes. Some would think he was crazy for waiting for her to be the one to commit. She was different and he knew how she worked, so he wasn't going to let go of her.
He looked down at her, hearing her voice. She was suggesting a date. Them and dinner. Why not? They were a couple. They needed to be out and about and not shacked up all under each other in a house. He smirked, watching her cover her face. "Aw she's shy." He shook his head, bringing his finger under her chin, turning her to look at him. "You don't have to hide from me."

Eliana bit the corner of her lip looking at him. She always thought that dates were awkward and she didn't know what to do on them most of the time. The last time she's been on a date was forever ago so she had every right to be extremely nervous. She pressed her lips together and refused to laugh at him trying to be funny. Eliana could admit she was shy at times so it comes as no surprise.
She moved opting to lay in his lap instead. She entertained herself with his hand tracing light invisible circles and moving up his arm. "Don't try to act like you aren't nervous." she spoke up clearing her throat. Eliana was excited though because she hated staying in the house. She needed to be in crazy environments even if her social skills sucked.
"Where do you want to go?" she rose her brow. She didn't care where they as long they had great food. Eliana knew she would have a lovely time with him regardless of what restaurant they went too. "And if it's not too late, we could do something fun afterwards. Bowling, go karting. The possibilites are endless papi." she smirked sitting up to straddle his lap pressing her forehead against his. "It's sick that your eyebrows look better than mine." her mouth curved into a playful frown and she laughed at the random thought that escaped her lips.

He shook his head, smiling down at her. "I didn't say I wasn't nervous." He chuckled softly, sighing a bit. He was nervous. The guy has never been on a date. What the hell are you suppose do on a date? It wasn't rocket science, but Dylan didn't want to let her down. He looked out, before turning his attention back to her. He really didn't even wanna think about it yet, but since she wanted to. He might as well.
He shrugged. "Wherever you want to go, I'll take you." He leaned down, pressing his lips against her forehead. He brought his hand up, running it over his hair. He nodded, listening to things she listed off. He was up for anything. If it meant that he got to hang with her, then he didn't care. "I'm up for anything. It doesn't take a lot to please me. I'm with you so, that's all that matters." He smiled, watching her straddle his lap. Her forehead pressed against his, his arms wrapping around her. He pulled her close, his eyes on her.
He laughed, shaking his head. "I'm sorry babe." He sighed, licking his lips. "I can't help that I was blessed with perfect eyebrows." He cocked one, smiling before pressing his lips against hers. He pulled away from her lips, kissing his way down to her neck. He sucked on her skin slightly, holding her to him. He pulled away after several moments of him nipping and sucking on her flesh, he knew he would leave his mark on her.
