The warmth from the fire surrounded me as I sat in one of the chairs that formed a circle around it.
It was pitch black outside, only the moon and the stars shining a little light.
Mum and dad had gone to sleep, and so had the younger children. I was actually the youngest here.
August had invited all of his friends, as well as some of our siblings, and then Max of course.
In the chair next to mine sat Harvey, then August, Angelina Johnson, George Weasley, Flynn with Max in the grass in front of him, then Fred, Harvey, Reuben, Alicia Spinnet, Kenneth Towler, Ronan and Lee Jordan to my left.
August had allowed me one of the beers he had bought, so I sat there, causally drinking it.
Fred was right on the other side of the fire, chatting with Flynn and Max, and I kept staring at him, thinking about earlier.
Me on top of him, kissing him with so much passion. I finally got to know how he kissed when the kiss goes further, and it was absolutely perfect.
I took a sip of my beer before pulling myself out of my chair, walking around the fire.
Fred looked up and his eyes locked on mine, but I simply grinned, and then looked at Max.
"Hey beautiful." He grinned, spreading his legs to make room for me.
With a slight grunt, I dropped down between his legs, leaning back against his chest, and he closed his arms around me.
I took another sip of my beer, closing my eyes while enjoying the chatter of those around me, and the sound of the fire in front of me.
I turned my head slightly, snuggling up against Max as I opened my eyes and made eye contact with Fred.
I smiled innocently at him. I had no idea what I was playing at, but he seemed to be annoyed, and that made me satisfied.
"How did you two get together?" Fred asked, removing his eyes from me, to look at my brother.
"Oh god." Flynn groaned. "Max is better at telling the story that I am."
And Flynn ran a hand through Max's dark hair. I hated the story of how they got together, so I rolled my eyes when Max inhaled, getting ready to speak.
"Well, we were on vacation. The entire Cahira family and me of course. It was last summer and we were all staying in a house by the beach in Bali." Max explained. "Flynn always found me super annoying, and then he challenged me. He wanted to bet that he was faster than me. Now we know he was just completely smitten by me—"
Max' laughter filled the air as Flynn shoved his head.
"No but we uh... I took him up on that challenge, and we ran towards the water. I won of course, and when I gloated about it in his face, he grabbed my necklace, pulled me in, and kissed me. So romantic."
