More Than Friends

Part 177 (Hardin)

"Come on, baby, just say yes."

"I knew I was right to be scared of your plans for tonight!" she huffs as she grabs the sleeping bag from me and starts walking back to our spot.

"Well, that was easier than I thought." I chuckle.

"Yeah, well don't get used to this having sex in public thing! There won't be a next time!"

"I've heard that before," I say quietly to myself before smiling.

Once we make it back to our spot, I start to lay the sleeping bag down on the grass as Tessa watches.

"Wow, that looks huge!"

"That won't be the last time you say that tonight." I wink.

"Gosh!" Tessa's cheeks start to turn a light pink. "I meant the sleeping bag, perv!"

I let out a loud laugh. "I got the biggest sleeping bag they had. I needed room to give you my best moves." I smirk.

"How considerate of you." She giggles.

I walk over to Tessa and pull her close to me. "See? We have the stars shining above us and the moonlight reflecting off the lake. It doesn't get more romantic than that."

"You're right," Tessa mumbles into my chest.

"What was that?" I smile.

"I admit it. This is very romantic. Thank you for everything you did for me tonight. If I hadn't already agreed to marry you three months from now, tonight would have convinced me."

"Theresa Lynn Young, I promise you will never regret agreeing to marry me. I know we're both young, but from the moment I first saw you in the library, I knew someday you would be mine. I knew you were the only girl I'd ever want from that moment on."

"How could you possibly have known that?" Tessa looks up at me with the most love filled eyes.

"I knew you were it for me because no one else had ever given me the same feeling that seeing you and hearing you and talking to you did. None of the girls I had ever been with, whether it was a one time thing, or I'd seen them again, gave me the same feeling that you did. And I only knew you for about five seconds."

"You never told me that." Tessa reaches up and gently caresses my cheek.

"I promise, someday you'll know all my secrets." I give Tessa a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"That just makes me want to know them all right now."

"You'll know everything, when the time is right."

"That sounds a little ominous."

"It's all good, baby, I promise. Now, how about you let me take you under the stars and moonlight?"

"Okay," she squeaks. Tessa slips off her dress and shoes and crawls into the extra roomy sleeping bag before removing her bra and panties.

"Fuck. Just knowing you're naked inside that sleeping bag, waiting for me to claim you at our spot, is doing wicked things to me."

"Well, come join me in here, Mr. Scott. There's plenty of room."

I quickly remove my shoes, shirt and pants before removing my boxers and joining Tessa. "This really is roomy. And very cozy. This brings back very happy memories of the rooftop." I smile.

"It does." Tessa blushes. "And I'll never forgive you if we get caught this time, either."

"Just relax, Tess. This is our spot for a reason. No one else comes here. It's just you, me, the stars and the moonlight bouncing off the lake. I promise."
