-Ariella POV-
"Do you like this?" Eddie asked me as he sat down on the top of Skull Rock. I followed him, and sat down beside him, " Yeah! I love it." I replied, and he smiled, " Look." He said, his voice soft as he gestured to the sky infront of us.

The sky displayed the sunset, colors of oranges and yellows lighting up the sky; this was so beautiful. You could see the whole Lovers Lake, it looked so beautiful in the reflection of the water.

"This has been my spot for years. Ever since I found it, I've wanted to bring someone to hang out here with me." He said softly, he wrapped an arm around my shoulders, pulling himself closer to me. Once close enough he gently rested his head on my shoulder."How long ago did you find it?" I said to him as we watched as the sunlit sky slowly began to fade as it was replaced with moonlight.

" The first time I went to Lovers Lake, was with my uncle when I was about 12, to go fishing. After the first time, I kept coming back and exploring and that's how I found this." He spoke just below normal volume.

" Really? After 7 years, I'm the only one you've ever brought here?" I whispered, "No one was ever special enough to bring to Lovers Lake." He flirted, leaning closer to my ear as he whispered to me. I leaned into his shoulder and he lifted me his leg, and placed in between both of them. I was now sitting between his legs, my back against his chest.

I felt butterflies form when he wrapped his arms around me from behind. I felt myself melt into his hold, I lightly traced my fingertips over his arms, drawing random shapes and patterns.

He planted a kiss on my neck, right under my ear before letting go. I turned my body around to face his, now sitting crisscrossed in front of him. Eddie then smiled widely at me. " Hi." I whispered to him, I started to undo my braids, I'll look more mature without these braids.

After I finished undoing my hair, I looked up at Eddie, he looked back at me with a lighthearted smile on his face, a face that was just so beautiful. "What?" I asked playfully, " Nothing, you're just so beautiful, I can't even explain."

" So are y-" He interrupted me, " No, really. There's no word to describe you." He says, " Eddie," I whined, feeling flustered by his words. " You have some really good lines, but-"Eddie then shook his head and I stopped talking.

" Can I tell you a little secret?" He whispered, I nodded in response. He leaned closer to my ear," Don't tell anyone, but I've never used any 'lines' on anyone, never even dated anyone, if I did they'd be pretty bad, I'm not using 'lines' Ariel, I'm using feelings." Our faces were now so close that our noses were touching.

" Eddie, there's no way that none of the girls you've liked hasn't ever liked you back." I told him, shocked.

-Eddie POV-
" I've always been scared, I told this girl Kaitlyn? Katherine— no, yeah Kaitlyn, that I liked her and I made a fool of myself, since then I started to chicken out when telling people my feelings." I admitted to Ariel, I looked up to see her eyes peering into mine,

" Were you scared to tell me?" She asked, I took a deep breath before answering, " Yeah- yeah I was, I kinda had a crush on you since I first saw you. When I met you, you were so open towards me, that's when I thought I had a chance. I wanted to tell you sooner, but I didn't want to ruin what we had. I was scared that I would run you off, but even though I would most likely get rejected, I knew I had to at least had to try to get you. You're way too perfect to give up on, Sweetheart."

I huffed from my loss of breath from the paragraph I had just told to Ariel. I then saw he stare up at me with her jaw dropped slightly, "I didn't freak you out, did I?" I asked her, moving away from her, hoping I didn't make this awkward. Did I take it too fast?
Her slightly dropped jaw quickly became a smile.

" Ariel, sorry, you probably think I'm-" She shushed me, " Kiss me, Eddie Munson."
She told me, just above a whisper, I moved her hair out of her face and pressed my lips against hers. She melted into the kiss as I pulled her onto my lap, my hands on her waist.

Her hands found their way to my chest, she pulled away, and I tucked hair behind her ear. "Eddie, you meant that, right?" She asked shyly, " Of course I meant that; and it's true, I am a man of true words, sweetheart." I replied to the gorgeous girl I had in my arms.

I pulled out my lighter, " I keep forgetting to ask beforehand, do you mind if I smoke?" I looked down at her, " As long as you share, I don't mind." She smiled. I turned away from her to light my cigarette, after I took a puff, I held it to her lips. She slowly inhaled, almost instantly coughing.

I chuckled, " Let's try that again. Try not to cough this time, 'kay?" I pressed the cigarette to her lips, " Breathe in, hold it—, now blow out." I instructed her step-by-step as she followed. I watched her tilt her head back and blow out the smoke into the air. I never thought someone blowing out smoke could be so attractive.

" I didn't cough this time!" She cheered, " I'm proud of you." I whispered before kissing her nose. She giggled, before kissing my nose back, we kept returning kisses before I took another puff.

" Can I try something on you?" I exhaled the smoke, " Yeah, what do you wanna try on me?" She returned a question innocently, I smirked at my idea.

I took another puff, cupping her cheek with my hand that was holding the cigarette, my other hand on her hip. I pressed a kiss on her lips, blowing the smoke into her mouth, some of it coming out of the sides of our mouths.

I pulled away and lifted her chin with my fingertips so she could blow the smoke in the air above, " Blow." I said with slight seductiveness in my voice. She blew out all of the smoke.

Feeling confident, I leaned closer, whispering in her ear, "Good girl." Her face flushed she her cheeks changed color. I chuckled,'" You're face is a little red there, Harrington. You alright?" I teased and she looked away, " It's— it's not red." She says, pressing her hand to her mouth in a nervous manner.

" I'm- uh- I'm gonna walk around and look some more!" She quickly stood up and started walking around, I smirked, knowing my 'idea' to get her all flustered and nervous worked. I never realized how fun it was to tease her.
Just like she had done it to me at her pool.

I was about to kiss Ariel back, before the footsteps and loud voices of Steve and Robin could be heard, she leaned a little closer to my ear, " You're cute when you're all flustered like that."

So now it's my turn. I stepped up behind her, and I slowly wrapped my arms around her, gently hugging her from behind.

" Do I make you nervous, baby?"
