Irish Dream

Chapter 6

Brody's point of view

I looked at Taylor trying to make a serious face.
We both started bursting out laughing.
I said confidently, “You know I’ll win.”
She replied, “We’ll see about that!”
I gestured for Taylor to start walking down the muddy and narrow path, “After you.”
She let out a sinister smile as if she was about to do something.
She started looking around in the sky like something mysterious was there.
She shouted, “Hey look at that bird!”
I quickly turned my head and laughed, “There’s obviously nothing there silly.”
I turned back around to see Taylor sprinting down the narrow path kicking up mud as she went.
“Hey wait for me!” I shouted.
I began sprinting after her passing innocent joggers along the way.
They must’ve thought we were two crazy mad men running like no tomorrow.
“Looks like you’ll be down ten bucks today!” I heard Taylor shout from a distance.
I stopped in my tracks.
She thinks she can beat me at my own game?
I knew this park better than anyone!
I scurried through the bushes and thorns looking to take a short cut meeting up with the path.
Just as she came jogging around the bend, I jumped out and caught her accidently tripping her.
She fell on top of me and we both went crashing into the deep, sticky mud.
“Oh no! My designer sweatpants! How could you!” She said sarcastically.
I let out a smile and said, “Found you.”
We both started laughing at our child like actions.
I picked up a big pile of dripping mud and looked at Taylor in the eyes.
“Don’t you dare,” she said with a big smile on her face.
I threw the mud at her hair and she shouted, “It’s on!!!”
It now became a test of who could throw more mud at the other person.
By the time we were done, all of our clothes, hair, and skin were covered in wet, sticky, filthy mud.
But we didn’t care; we were just enjoying the moment.
“Well that was, fun.” I said in a noticeably heavy Irish accent.
I helped Taylor to her feet and said cheerfully, “Come with me, there’s one more place I want to show you. But first you have to put this on.”
I handed her a blindfold and she put it on willingly.
“Fine, but don’t make me regret letting you do this.” She said with an overwhelming smile on her face.
I took her hands and guided her down the path.
 
When we arrived at the lake she asked, “Are we almost there?”
“Yup take off your blindfold.” I said happily.
She untied the black cloth covering her eyes and gasped.
“This place is beautiful, can we go in the water?” She asked.
“Follow me.” I said taking off my shirt leaving my muscular upper body exposed.
I ran down the shore line and jumped in the cold but refreshing water.
Taylor followed me and splashed in the water.
She let out a small squeal at the icy water.
“Water is never this cold in Arizona!” She explained.
“Ahh but good old Ireland water this is. Get used to it, everything is colder here.” I assured her.
“This is amazing Brody, thank you so much for taking me here instead of into town.”
“Oh it’s not over yet.” I said smiling and laughing.
I got out of the water and walked over to a large oak tree with a rope I had set up with my father when I was much younger.
“Try this.” I said to Taylor pointing at the rope leading to the water.
She stood on the wooden platform and jumped.
The rope swung long over the water and she let go screaming.
I quickly followed her and cannon balled into the water next to her getting water in her face purposely.
“Ahhh!” Taylor shouted as I continued splashing her face with water.
This started a splashing war and when we finally calmed down, Taylor said, “Thanks for making this a great day. I really enjoyed it.”
We both smiled and I leaned in to give her a small peck on the cheek.
To my surprise, she didn’t lean away.
I pulled away slowly and said, “We better get going if we want to make it back to the car before the sun sets completely.”
We walked back to the car and I set out towels on the seats to avoid a smelly car later.
“Thanks for coming with me. I had a lot of fun with you today.” I explained to her.
I looked at her and we both started laughing.
This really was a great day.
Just two teenagers acting like complete children.
