Aspen was there, it was a clear slightly cold night. He had set up some candles on a picnic blanket. It was beautiful. I lay next to him where I believe he had prepared for me.
"Thank you" I said exhausted. It must have been hours, we were laying down by the starlight and moonlight and it was honestly like something from a movie. No one was around and no one could see us on the last part of the oval. For once I saw him in a new light, I kept telling myself I didn't like him, but I couldn't Denie this now. Aspen looked at me and lifted his hand to my chin slowly and gently he cupped my face and leant his head down to mine. He swept me away kissing me, it felt so good. I smiled under the thought of it all. I wasn't meant to be doing this or feeling this way but I was. I pulled away and stopped. He looked at me smirkly and grabbed my hand,
"you know if there was one person I would like to like me it would be you." He said. I realised something than that I liked him, I liked him for real and that I wanted to like him. And currently I was doing a trash job of being a friend tricking him into liking me.
"Aspen?" I said softly. But I couldn't confess, I just wanted to be his.
"Yes" he said squirming on the rug.
"Can we be together?" I said.
"Like girlfriend and boyfriend" he said a bit awkwardly at first. I nooded my head and he looked instantly happy.
"That's all I want" he said and once again we were swept in with the romance of the night. It was hours later and I knew what I had to do. I had to tell him, I had to tell him that at first I was trying to make Brock jealous but now I really did like him. But how could I do that?
The mornings air was cold, it was a bit foggy but most of all I nearly jumped. I was laying in aspens arms on the bottom of the oval. I looked around and found a pair of eyes fixed on us. It was Isabella, she had a kindle in her hand and seemed to be in walking clothes. She put her hand up in a suprised way and kept walking. When we were out of sight I looked at aspen, he was sleeping in a swift movement. He was laying there quietly and I was scared that if I moved I would wake him. His head was on my shoulder and my hand was on his chest. He had one of his hands on my back and the other on the grass. I didn't know what time it was,
But I had to get back before any one realised I was gone. I combed my fingers through his hair and his green eyes began to open. he smiled at the sight of me, and i calmly exsplained why I had to go, he laughed and hoped up himself. We walked across the oval and he dropped me off at my tent.
"Wow oh wow" pearl commented seeing him walk away. Her hair was shining and I could tell if I tried and brushed it there would be no knots, her eyebrows were perfect. And she was so skinny. That was pearl for you. Tenai was with Tye both awake but lying on Tenai's bed. They were so sweet I was almost positive they would never fail each other. Thea walked into the tent in a beautiful dress, it was youth church today so we all dressed up for the sabbath.
"Every one, aspen and I are offical" I said trying hard not to contain my heart jumping.
Tye jumped up from Tenai's arms and said a quick yay and ran out of the tent. Tenai just laughed. Pearl came over to me and wrapped her arms around me before Thea came in and joined in our hug. Tenai still lying in bed said yes and that she was happy for us. But Isabella and rose were no where. Isabella was out walking or whatever she was doing and rose well who knows what.
"I can't believe it!" Rose screamed walking into the room.
"What" we all ringed.
"Nathaniel and I are done, but I think I might go for aspen Next. He is very sweet and nice oh and good looking" she said. We all shared a glance before I answered.
"Thank you" I said.
"What do you mean?" She said confused.
"Aspen and I got together, offical" I said pursing my lips.
"I'm so happy for you" rose said before running over to join the group hug. That was the rose I knew, she was there for everyone. Her beautiful brown hair curls bounced off her back. I could see how the handsome max fell for her. Together we walked unto church, aspen dressed in a button up shirt and his hair was done beautifully, I was in a long green dress. The program flew by and before I knew it I was walking hand in hand into the last meeting, the last night meeting. Brock ran up to me, can I talk to you alone. I rolled my eyes but I still hadn't told aspen. Aspen obviously trusting me went inside and left Brock and I in the dark.
