"What are you doing?" Salecia giggled as Christopher led her into his house with his hands over her eyes.
"For the thousandth time it's a surprise." He playfully retorted.
"Don't make me trip on something, okay?" Salecia asked with a hint of worry in her voice.
"I could never do that. If I did who would show you your surprise." Christopher joked.
"Oh, ha-ha."
"Ok, sit here."
"Alright, can I open my eyes now?" Salecia said impatiently.
"Ok, but wait right here." Christopher said as he skulked to his room.
When Salecia opened her eyes it was dark except for two candles sitting on the coffee table.
"Surprise." Christopher announced quietly as he exited his room with a Taylor guitar slung across his back.
"So you're going to serenade me." Salecia asked with a raised eyebrow.
"That's the plan." Christopher said as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously.
"Oh no. I mean that's lovely. It's always been something I wanted someone to do for me. Salecia said quietly.
"Have a dopey guy play the guitar for you?" Christopher said as he blushed.
"No. Have an adorableguy willing to play the guitar for me." Salecia corrected.
Christopher smiled at her comment as he started to play the intro to a song that Salecia would have recognised anywhere. Tenerife Sea.
"With you, with you, with you, with youu." Christopher sang as he finised his medley of; Tenerife Sea, I Really Like You and With You.
"I don't know what to say." Salecia said as she felt her voice break.
"I didn't mean to make you cry." Christopher said with worry etched into his face. He sat closer to her so that their thighs were touching. He gently tucked back a stray lock of hair wondering around her face behind her ear.
"I actually do really, really, really like you." Salecia said as gratitude filled her eyes.
"I really, really, really like you too." Christopher said with a crooked smile.
His long finger traced every inch of her face in a way that made her feel hot all over. Salecia didn't know why the most subtle things that he did had such an effect on her. Salecia sat up so that their lips could touch. He kissed her gently, as if she were the most delicate and fragile thing in the world.
Christopher detached from their kiss and brushed his lips against her earlobe to whisper, "Maybe we can do this again sometime.
"I would really like that." Salecia said as she rested her head on his shoulder.
