plastic trees.

”Anything I want to do?” Maggie echoed with a faint grin. “Now, that's something you'll regret later.” However, one thing Hunter suggested was sticking in her mind. “I think we should wrestle,” the blonde said, a brow arching up, challenging him. “I wanna see if I can beat you.”

Maggie crinkled her nose in happiness, finally finishing off her burger. She reached into the bag for a couple more fries, popping them i to her mouth. “So,” the girl started after she swallowed down the bite, “what’s the plan for today? Watch movies, catch up on new music..?”

“well, you’d only really know if you’ve ever been up there,” Maggie replied with a chuckle. After she got the smudge she crumpled up the napkin and set it down, taking another bite of her burger. “Yeah, I still wanna go,” she said, nodding her head. “You still wanna go, right?” Maggie half-joked, a teasing smile on her lips.

"Wine country is actually in Northern California. It's not all deserts and cities here in the Golden State," Maggie said, her eyes landing on a red smear on Hunter's chin. "You, uh.. got a little something there..." She stifled a laugh, grabbing a napkin from the bag and leaning over, wiping the ketchup slowly off. "Perfect - Yeah, guess I will see a lot of country then, it'll be fun."

Maggie nodded, smiling faintly. "Horses.. very cool," she said before taking another bite of the burger. "I lived in L.A all of my life, never really thought about what it'd be like to live out in the country," she admitted with a sheepish grin. "But, my parents took my sister and I out to wine country a couple of times, to visit vineyards and stay at a b-and-b. It was really pretty, from what I can remember."

Maggie leaned in as Hunter spoke, her hand reaching into the bag to pull out a couple of fries. She popped them into her mouth, giving him a sympathetic smile. "Sounds a little lonely," the blonde said, chewing lightly on her lip. She could relate a bit - one sister who made her life Hell created a rather lonely life. Only instead of a house of sheets in the country, it was her bedroom in an empty house. "Did you like living out in the country?"

Maggie looked to the corner, her sights set in the zebra cakes - one of her favorite junk foods(she made a mental note on having to add an extra hour of working out the next day). "Futuristic houses? Now, that sounds cool," she said in earnest, unwrapping her burger and taking a bite. "Did you build them all by yourself?" Maggie asked after she swallowed down the bite, keeping her gaze on Hunter.

Maggie glanced back over to Hunter, her smile widening for just a moment. "Oh yeah? What kind of snacks?" She asked, opening up the bag and pulling out the burgers and handing one over to him. "You did? Were they as awesome as this one?" She added, gesturing to the cloth walls around them. Truth be told, she didn't know much about how Hunter grew up and curiosity was setting in.

"Well, I love it even more now," Maggie said with a grin before making her way inside. She sat down, legs folded under her rear before placing the bags of food into the ground. "I got burgers and mini chocolates, which is one of the best ways to have chocolate," she added, hazel eyes still wandering the fort. "This is really cool, Hunter."

Maggie let out a light laugh, walking further into the room. "I don't hate it at all," she said with a nod of her head, blocking out any thought she had of how she had to clean it up later. "I kind of love it." She shuffled over to him and went on her tippy-toes, pressing a light kiss against his cheek. "But, I have a question..." she trailed off, her brow arching up as she held out the bags of food. "Is it safe to eat in this fort?"

Going out on Halloween was awful if you hated the holiday, which the girl did. Too many people, things all around to scare her... Not her cup of tea. But, she was in serious need of food. One hour at the store arguing with soccer moms for two bags of mini candy bars and forty minutes at a drive through for a couple of burgers and fries, and Maggie drove back to the house. She got out of her car, bags in hand, and made her way into the house. The girl hopped up the stairs and towards her room. As she opened the door, she stopped in her tracks, a wide smile on her lips as she took in her surroundings. "Holy shit," Maggie breathed out a chuckle, hazel eyes landing on Hunter. "You did all this?"

Maggie perked up a little at his confession, the smile on her lips growing for a mere moment. “You’ve wanted to ask me out since we first met?”

His cheeks immediately darkened to crimson, a sheepish smile reaching his lips. “Well, I obviously wasn’t, that would have been ridiculous, but you definitely had my eye.”

Maggie nodded, letting out a soft laugh. "Good to know," she said with a grin, opening her mouth to say something else - but, the waitress came over to the table with the food, the blonde shutting her mouth. "Thank you, it looks delicious," she said to the waitress as her plate was set down in front of her, taking a sip of her water after it was put down.

a light blush crept up on Maggie’s cheeks, the dirty blonde chuckling softly. “And, you’re happy that this is happening? Us going on a date?”

“Yeah, a but happier than I’d like to admin— I’ve kind of been waiting for this since up… well, since last Valentines Day, over a year ago.”

Maggie perked up a little at his confession, the smile on her lips growing for a mere moment. "You've wanted to ask me out since we first met?"

Maggie leaned back in her spot, smiling over to Hunter as he spoke. “I’ve been pretty good, if I’m being honest,” she answered with a light chuckle. “And, how’s everything with you?”

He twiddled with the ring on his ring finger, something he did when he was nervous or overly-happy.. “I’m doing quite well, seeing the circumstances.” he chuckled. “I honestly never though this would happen.”

a light blush crept up on Maggie's cheeks, the dirty blonde chuckling softly. "And, you're happy that this is happening? Us going on a date?"

Maggie waited until Hunter was finished ordering before she did the same. “I’ll get the fettuccine alfredo, with chicken… and a water with lemon, please,“ she said to the waitress, giving her the menu and a quiet, “thank you,” as she walked off.

Letting her order, Hunter tried to keep his eyes to himself. Once she was done, a large grin overcame his lips. “So, how have you been, Maggie?”

Maggie leaned back in her spot, smiling over to Hunter as he spoke. "I've been pretty good, if I'm being honest," she answered with a light chuckle. "And, how's everything with you?"
