CHAPTER FOUR

It was the last week if camp already. How that happened, I was completely unsure. How I felt about it, I didn't want to think about. The end of camp meant the end of me and Bennett so I had to make the best of our time left together. How to go about doing that was a whole other question.

During lunch one particularly hot day that week, the campers at my tables kept asking me for refills on pitchers of ice. The ice machine just happened to be literally next to the sink Bennett worked at with the dishes so I wasn't going to complain about the trips in and out if the kitchen.

During my third round, an idea hit. As I bent over to scoop the ice into the pitcher I quickly said just loud enough for Bennett to hear me, "Let's not meet up here tonight. How about by the tennis courts?" I glanced up at him and with a confused smile and knit eyebrows, he nodded once distinctively. "Great. Be there around eleven fifteen and make sure no one else is there."

I exited the kitchen in total teeny bopper mode all giggly and happy inside. If course he'd be confused- no one ever went to the tennis courts, even during the day. There was nothing in that area except for woods... and his trailer. At this point I was sure I was in love with him which yeah, was a big deal. Only thinking about that night and not a few days after when we had to leave, I psyched myself up for what I had in mind.

***

Nervously pulling my trademark panda sweater around my torso, I half ran, half skipped to the tennis courts, hoping no one would see me. I had almost not made it out of the bunk, since the counselors had to make sure everyone was in by curfew which I hadn't counted on taking forever. I was already running fifteen minutes late; I just hoped he'd be there. I slipped in through the trees to get to the courts instead of taking the lit path. If I was caught, I'd be worse than dead and there was no excuse justifiable enough to get myself out of this one.

I neared his trailer, seeing the lights on inside and the door slightly ajar. I didn't see Bennett anywhere outside so after looking around in every direction, I scampered over and slipped in through the door. So far, my plan was going perfectly, especially when I saw Bennett sitting on what I assumed was his bed, glancing at a nearby alarm clock.

"Well hey stranger," I smirked from the doorway. I knew I'd give myself crap later for the cheesiness of that line.

He sprang up off the bed, "Chloe, you came! I didn't think you would..." He paused for a second then walked over to the window and pulled the shades shut so no one would see me in there with him.

"Yeah, of course I would! It just took a while for me to sneak out. Thank god my bed is right by the back door." Now unsure of how to carry out my plan, I slowly stepped toward him and kissed him softly and lightly pushed him back down onto the bed.

"Chloe... why did you... ask to meet here... tonight?" he managed between kisses.

I pulled back slightly, "Because it's our last week here together," I told him with a smirk, waiting for him to catch on. By this point he was lying down and held me close on top of him, my panda sweater on the floor. Slowly, he looked into my eyes and understood.

He kissed me once then looked at me again, now with uncertainty in his eyes. Oh god, what now? "Chloe, I..." He sighed, still holding my gaze intently, "I love you."

That was all I needed. For a change, nothing around me stopped but accelerated and I couldn't speak. He tried to read my expression, something that resembled fear slid over his.

"No." I held one of my hands to his face to stop him from frowning. "I love you too, Bennett." And with that his face lit up and he pulled me even closer to his chest. I could feel him smiling against my lips.

Without another word, he sat up and took off his shirt then pulled me back down onto him. I ran my hand up and down his smooth chest, feeling like the luckiest girl in the world to have the most amazing guy here with me.

He slightly shivered from my touch and reached around me to help pull my tank top over my head, pausing once more to make sure this was what I wanted. I assured him it was with another kiss, thinking there wasn't anyone else I'd rather lose my virginity to. He was my first love after all.

***

I got back into my bunkhouse at around three in the morning, totally dazed. I hoped that Ella, my closest friend at the camp wouldn't notice anything up with me the next morning; I knew my face would be glowing especially when I saw Bennett at breakfast.

Thankfully, she didn't and no one else was really keeping too much of a close eye on either me nor Bennett. That was good considering we couldn't take our eyes off each other the entire morning.

The next few days passed and before I could say 'supercalifragelisticexpialidocious'

it was the last full day of camp. I wanted to be with him once more before he went back home and the next time I'd see him would be who knows when. So once again I whispered the plan to him and he agreed happily, shoving a note into my back pocket as I walked away.

When it looked like I could get a few seconds to myself, I went to the corner by the supply shelves and read the small piece of paper he had given me:

'Even though we only met this month, you changed me. I will miss you after today; I hope you won't forget me as we'll keep in touch? I love you, Chloe.

XOXO, Bennett'

On the back of the paper was written his email address. I held it to my heart and did internal somersaults as I thought about what he had written.

It was then that the thought hit me. Shit. He still thought I was 17.
