It was a summers evening and I was on holiday with my family. Every night I met up with my cousins and a couple mates we had met on the trip to go up this big hill and watch the pretty sunset colours flow over the distant rainbow sea side village. This night was different though the blood moon would rise over the sea today.
At 7:00 we ran up the hill, it was me, my cousins(Emily and nova) and our mates (Tom, Alex, josh and Zack). It was just turning dark so we sat down halfway up the hill and put on some music, I was sat next to Zack and Tom.
After a while it was getting cold so I nicked Zacks beanie and although reluctant they let me ware it. After a while the moon started rising in a bright crimson colour, it was beautiful and as everyone chatted away I was being to get bored so I thought it would be nice to lay back and look at the stars. So I led down and, next to me, so did Zack- there hand landed on top of mine and they didn't move it. Instead they held my hand and squeezed it tighter, I didn't know what to do my mind was racing and I was getting sweaty hands which wasn't good. After around 10 seconds I blew it and sat up and suggested a game of man hunt. So it was Alex counting and I hid high up the hill and I ran into Zack.
"Hey" they said quietly " I'm sorry if I embarrassed you back then, I- I just- I really like you"
"Stop ok I like you and I know you like me but nova called dibs" I said back without thinking "shit..."
Zack stared at me eyes wide in shock and they didn't know what to say. So we stood in silence.
"Wait so you like me but won't accept it because your cousin said dibs on me"
"Yeeaahhhh" I knew I messed up as soon as I said that so I turned to say sorry but when I turned Zack put his cold hand on my face and whispered, " so if no one knows this would be it, me and you, out here in the night, growing ever closer and lips almost touching"
We lingered toe to toe and there other hand was now on my waste- I could feel there breath.
Quietly to them i said " they knew there was no one there so they..." without letting me finish I could feel there warm lips against mine and zacks hand pulling my waist in closer with force. I had my hands around his neck and let myself go so we were there for the next couple minutes.
We turned back to looking for people, Zack still had there hand on my lower back but we had to go and get back to base camp. And when we did we led down with the others to look at the stars as it was now 9:30 so we were only aloud to be out for another half an hour. But laying there without a care in the world Zacks hand in mine, I was happy.
