It was late July and two weeks had passed since Blake and I had our first official date, I might add that they have been the two happiest weeks of my life. Well, besides the two week trip to Disney that my parents had taken my brothers and I on. Compared to that they were tied for first.

The only thing Disney didn't have was Blake.

The morning had gone like any other morning had, I got up, had breakfast, chilled with my brothers. Some time around 1:30 Blake had called me asking if I wanted to hangout. Being the girl that I am I accepted Blake's offer, trying to take every moment that I could to hangout with the curly haired boy. Blake still hadn't asked me to be his official girlfriend but I wasn't in any hurry. Although it would be nice to know that I was Blake's. I had walked over to Blake's house 30 minutes later with a pair of faded shorts and a white button up on. My purse slung over my shoulder holding our, Blake and I's, essentials. Mostly consisting of Disney movies, Mad Libs, and Haribo gummy bears.

Blake met me at his door, quickly wrapping me in a warm embrace, sending sparks up and down my body. After Blake let go we made our way into the living room where I was greeted by a screaming Naomi who latched onto my leg like a leech and a winded looking Luke following closely behind.

"What are you guys doing?" I questioned, picking up the overly excited 6 year old.

"Mom and Dad went out for awhile and left Blake and I to take care of this little rascal." Luke answered, extending his arms to pull Naomi out of my arms. Naomi clearly didn't want to be anywhere near Luke as she started screaming and squirming in my arms. For a second I was scared that I might drop the little girl.

"Don't let him take me Stacy!" Naomi begged with a little childish lisp. Her large blue eyes, identical to Blake's, stared right back into my own. I sighed and looked at Blake who shrugged back at me.

I turned back to Naomi, "How bout I make you a deal?"

Naomi's eyes narrowed towards me, "What kind of deal?" She questioned skeptically.

I smiled at her, "Well, if you go with Luke and behave. You can join Blake and me when we watch Treasure Planet." I proposed.

Naomi's eyes widened just a tad bit, but I knew she wasn't convinced yet. I rolled my eyes, "I'll even throw in some gummy bears."

At hearing that Naomi squealed in my ear, making me cringe away and practically jumped onto an unsuspecting Luke. Luckily, he reacted in time to catch the flailing child.

Blake and I laughed as Luke stalked out of the room with Naomi chattering away.

"Now what?" I laughed, reaching down and lacing my fingers with Blake's. Blake smirked and looked down at our intertwined hands.

"I know," Blake said tugging me behind him, "follow me."

I followed Blake to his backyard where 2 large oak trees rested, their roots bulging from the ground. A hammock securely hung between.

And that's where Blake and I had resided. Side by side on the hammock.

"You're beautiful, you know that." Blake barely spoke above a whisper. His breath fanning my face like a cool breeze floating across fine sand at the beach.

I felt my cheeks flush, letting out a nervous giggle I responded, "You always say that."

A short pause settled between the two of us. The sun was high above our heads like a heat lamp, and our bodies were close in proximity.
