Stay With Me

Chapter 7

"Nina, come with me." Ian whispers and I sit up slowly rubbing my eyes.

I stand up and we walk downstairs and outside.

"Ian what time is it?" I ask him. It's still kind of dark outside.

"Almost time for the sunrise. Which is where we are going. To watch the sunrise at my favorite spot." He says with a smile and slides his hand with mine.

We walk down a trail and come to some water with a dock and we step up on it and walk to the end.

Ian sits down and I sit beside him. He kisses me and slides his arm around my waist.

"I used to come out here all the time to read or just relax. And sometimes, like today, come out and watch the sunrise. It made my days a lot better." Ian says with a smile.

"Know what makes my days a lot better?" I look at him with a smile.

"What's that?" He asks.

"You. Being with you." I kiss him and he pulls me on to his lap and he lays back with me on top of him.

"Ian." I laugh and he smirks.

"We came out here to see the sunrise. Not make love." I remind him.

"Yeah but this view is so much better." He smirks.

"I'm not having sex out in the open where anyone could see us." I sit up and place my hands on his chest.

"You had sex with me in the car, anyone could've driven by and seen us and we didn't know." He says and I nod.

"True. But we also were inside a car. With tinted windows." I poke his chest hard.

"How about tonight?" I wink.

He runs his fingers down my sides and nods his head yes.

"Now, the sunrise." I smile and slide off him just as the sun is coming up.

"Wow, that's so pretty." I say watching the sun come up.

"I like my view better." Ian says and I turn to face him. He smiles and pulls me in to kiss me.

"I love you Ian." I tell him when we pull apart.

"And I love you." He smiles.

"Let's head back. Mom will want us there when everyone starts to show up. Maybe we can shower before they come." Ian grabs my hand and we start back to his house.

"Hey guys, where'd you go?" Ian's dad greets us when we walk back inside.

"Down to the bayou to see the sunrise." Ian tells him.

"It was so pretty." I add.

"When is everyone coming again?" Ian asks when his mom passes us into the kitchen.

"In about 2 hours. You guys can go on up and get ready. I'll make breakfast." She says.

"Okay, we won't be long." Ian and I walk back up to his room and he shuts the door.

"I'll get the water running." He smiles and I walk over to my clothes to pick out my outfit.

I walk into the bathroom and Ian wraps me in his arms.

"We need to shower." I try to wiggle out of his arms and he laughs letting me go. We get inside the shower together and he starts washing my hair before I wash his body.

When we get out we get dressed and I throw my hair into a bun after drying it.

"You look beautiful." Ian smiles behind me as we stand in front of the mirror.
