"Sure" I smiled as he climbed into my bed. I faced toward the wall as he wrapped his arms around me.

After a while of looking at the wall, my eyelids grew heavy and I fell into a deep sleep.

I woke up cold and with the sun shining in my face. I covered my eyes and stretched on the bed. I counted to five and got up.

I walked into the kitchen where the light poured into the large window and onto the table. I looked around for a moment and took in the morning air. I walked toward the fridge and got out a gallon of orange juice and I got a straw from the drawer next to it.

I stuck a straw in the orange juice and sat down at the table in front of a note. I tilted my head and then mustered up the energy to grab the note.

It was a small green folded peice of paper. Inside was neat handwriting but I could tell it was rushed. I opened the note and read it in my head.

Summer: Sorry I missed you this morning, I had to leave. There was an emergency.

There was a skip in the spacing and I could tell he was thinking about what he would write.

My mom became very ill and I had to go. Sorry. I'll make it up to you if you go to the Silver Cove Park today at 5.
Love you ♥
Criss

I smiled and then folded up the note. I looked at the clock and started to freak out. It was 3:30 the Silver Cove Park was 15 minutes away.

I took a long shower and by the time I was finished it was 4:30 I quickly put my hair in its default ponytail and I put on acid-washed jeans and a random black shirt on along with my usual black high-tops.

I walked out of the door after checking my face and looked around. My car. I facepalmed. I totally forgot that it broke down. In its place was a slightly worn Saturn. I smiled and looked at the note on the windsheild wipers.

For Summer: Onwards to the Silver Cove!

I smiled and then stepped into the car. He must've sprayed his cologne in here because it smelt just like him. After sitting there and sniffing like a rabbit for a while I put the car into ignition and went off to the mysterious far-away park.

~~

I got to the park at around 5:05. I looked around and saw a giant blue sign that had an arrow on it. I walked in that direction taking in the scenery. The park was mostly abandoned except for teens who occasionally came here to make out and do other things but now it was abandoned and had an eerie feel. I loved it.

I walked along the path until I reached a large conference area. I slid in between tables to a small cleared out area with a blanket, Candles, and a very asleep Criss. I smiled and then started to nudge him.

"Criss" I said while softly kicking him. I kneeled down in front of him.

I was busy admiring his face when his brown eyes shot open and he pulled me on topof him. My hair draped over his face and I giggled.

This was the best. He must've gotten up early to set this all up. Including getting a car and finding out a way to get here without one. After a while he set me to the side sitting up and leaning over me slightly. He smiled seductively.

"How do you like it?" Je said looking around.

"I love it. You're the best." He smiled and layed down wrapping me in his arms.

"I know." He smirked.

I leaned my head against his chest. I could here his heartbeat. It was slow, and steady. This entire moment was breathtaking. I hugged him tighter and fell asleep on his chest.

I woke up at dusk. All around me were newly lit candles and in front of me was a basket with sandwiches and a large gallon of fruit punch. I smiled and covered my face to hide my blushing.

Criss walked out from behind the wall with two wine glasses that I assumed were for the fruit punch. He smiled and walked over to me. After setting the cups down he sat across from me. He poured the fruit punch in a cup and gave it to me.

We clinked glasses and talked for a while in terrible British accents. We laughed until our sides hurt and then we just sat there looking into the trees nearby the park. He sat next to me and put his arm loosely around my waist.

He put his hand on my cheek gently and nudged it toward him. I looked into his eyes as he tilted his head.

We melted into a deep kiss. This kiss wasn't like the others. It was special. It was like the world was coming to a stop as I started to face toward him and as he tangled his fingers in my hair. I can't even describe what it was like. I wanted it to last forever and it felt like it did. He kissed so passionately as we leaned to the ground. We layed there kissing for what seemed like hours until we needed air.

I gasped for air, clutching my chest as it rose up and down.

After the kiss I had to go home. I kissed him goodbye. It was a small kiss on the cheek, but I wished it was the same intensity as the one before. I got home and went to bed. All night I thought about Criss and how he meant so much to me.

He was perfect and he was breathtaking, and I was falling in love. Falling hard.
