Hey guys!
I've missed you so much!
Alright I'm sure you wanna read so I'll stop blabbering:)

We had been riding for about 15 minutes when Carlos pulled off the main road. I knew where we were headed now.
The whispering forest.
It didn't really whisper, obviously, but when the wind blew through the trees made the prettiest sound of leaves rustling. Kinda like waves in the ocean.
We pull to a stop near a little creak and hop off the bike. Carlos pulls the picnic basket off the back of the motorcycle and lays out a thin blanket with the NASA symbol on it.
We lay down and look at the beautiful sunset colored sky through the tree branches.
"It's so beautiful out here, don't you think?" Carlos looks up wide eyed and curious. "I can't even believe this is in Night Vale."
I look over at him and he's smiling. God I want to kiss you. He's so perfect.
I roll over until I'm on top of him and straddle his hips. I lean down so my face is just above his and make our lips collide. It's slow and steady, but continues to grow with more passion than ever before. My hands search for his and when I finally find them we twine them together.
After a while I finally pull up and look at his face. He's looking up at me with a smile and let me just say, that smile could cure cancer.
"You're so beautiful, you know that?" Carlos says to me in a whisper as he pushes back a strand of my stray hair.
"I think I should be telling you that," I whisper back.
He chuckles and props himself up on his elbows, "Let's eat, silly boy," he says placing a kiss on the tip of my nose.
"Good. I'm starving!" I say getting off of him and opening up the picnic basket. "Wow! How'd you get all this?" I take out a bottle of champagne, crackers, and fancy cheeses.
"I have my connections," Carlos says with a smirk, "Don't doubt my awesome scientist powers."
"Whatever you say, my 'scientist'," I put air quotations around 'scientist'.
We begin eating the crackers and cheese and drinking the champagne. Everything was great, like a fancy restaurant. By the time we are finished I'm a bit tipsy and have a hard time standing up on my own. Carlos didn't drink as much as me because he knew he'd have to drive back to my house.
We start packing up the blanket and basket, or well, Carlos does. I'm not much of a help in my current state. He also helps me put on my helmet and get on the motorcycle.
"Please hold on, okay Ceec?"
"Yeah, yeah. Anything for you perfect Carlos," I giggle, unable to stop myself. Stupid side effect of drinking.
We speed off with almost enough force to knock me off the bike. Luckily, I was holding onto my boyfriend.
I could sit like this forever. My arms wrapped around his torso and my head resting against his back. My body was so close to his that I was sure he could feel my fast beating heart.
We pull into my driveway and I quickly hop off the bike, stumbling a little as I do so. Carlos jumps off the bike with much more grace than I did and places one of his arms around my hips to keep me steady.
"I think you may have had a little too much to drink, Cecil." he says hoisting me up a bit more to get through the front door.
"Nah. It's just sorta hard to walk and talk," I chuckled.
