***Natalie's POV***

It is in the late afternoon and the bright sun is shining through the tree branches. There is a slight breeze, but it is beautiful. Blake and I are sitting across from each other. Sitting on the sills and talking away the rest of the day. Until he says something that I can't help but respond to.

"W-what." I stutter in- actually I don't know. But I'm love struck. I'm in deep shit. He runs fingers through his hair and keeps his head down and sets his hand on the back of his neck. He remains speechless.

"Natalie, I don't know what you do to me. But I can't stay away from you. Every time I'm with you, the light hits your beautiful face perfectly." He pauses to look up at me. "Like right now. And that's sign from heaven that you were meant for me." He sighs and looks down and I turn my head sideways. "I know I have messed with you and done everything that should make me go to hell. But you drive me crazy. And the reason I treat you like shit is because," he looks back up and I straighten my head up. "I don't know how to love. All I know is how to bang." He laughs at himself. "And I'm surprises  you haven't killed me yet. And I know I wasn't the ideal person you would want to have your first kiss with. But I promise you." He extends his hand and grabs mine. He has a firm but soft grasp. He looks into my my eyes. "Natalie, I need you to be mine. I promise-" he cuts off and let's go of my hands to start crawling down to the tree. When he is down and in a stable position, I follow him and sit on the same branch. We are facing the sun and my French braid is currently falling apart faster than Michigan potholes. I take it out from the braid and swing my hair back and fourth and run my fingers through it, taking out a few knots. And then I look at Blake who is staring at me. I blush and look down. "I promise that I will never lie again. But the only thing I haven't lied about is that I love you and everything about you. And everyday with you is perfect. If there were anything about love them that would be it for you. I admit it. The fuckboy loves Natalie." I freak out a little inside and then calm myself.

"Oh really?" I say raising an eyebrow. "So what is your name?" I ask throwing my hands up chuckling a little bit.

"Come on." He says nudging me. "Natalie Rose Grey-"

"How did you find out my middle name?" I cut him off.

"I may or may not have found your birth certificate." He says smirking.

"Blake Michael Rider." I reply. His face reacts as if I had just shot someone. "I may or may have done the same." I reply smugly. But for the record, it's may not.

"Natalie Rose Grey." I look up to him with big eyes. "Will you be my girlfriend?" He finally asks. But I decide to pull a 'Blake'.

"Come on, Rider, it's your last chance." I say to him.

"Fine, fine," he says surrendering. "Damn girl, are you google? Because your everything I'm searching for." He says smirking and scooching closer to me. I giggle a little bit. And then I bring out my 'not satisfied' face.  "If you don't want to go out with me then hold your breath for 36 years. But if you do want to go out with me. Blink." I play his game and hold my breath for 30 seconds. But while I am still holding my breath he brings his finger up to my eye. Very slowly threatening every inch to poke my eye. I am holding my breath and keeping my eyes from closing. When Blake reaches my eye he pokes it ever so lightly and then they both close immediately.

"Awe dang it. That means yes " I fake pout and sarcastically say.

"Just kiss me already." He grabs my head and pulls it into his. Our lips meet and they are attached and reunited once again. This wasn't like the first kiss we had. This was my first real kiss. Before the other kiss, this was my first kiss. Other than almost being raped. And my lips just seemed to move automatically. This was only things that I practiced on in my pillow. We close our eyes as our lips keep moving in sync. Our kiss is tender and sweet, yet passionate and meaningful. Fireworks are erupting and it feels like there is no world behind us. Just Blake, his lips. Me, my lips. And everything connecting. Our bodies and lips are attached and we can't stop. We both decide it's time to pull away and he pulls me into a hug.

"Blake." I say as I feel dried year streams on my cheeks that I didn't know were there.

"Yes princess?" He says sweetly.

"I don't know if I can go through everything again." He pauses. "And I know our relationship was confusing as shit. But everything is clear now." I admit. Honestly, I don't think I can. What he has put me through has been like a roller coaster. But he says everything is clear now.

"I will be the best boyfriend ever. And whatever is going on at home, we can handle it. I will do anything for you, I know that sounds sappy, and all of this is, but every single word is true." He tells me. I look out at the setting sun and set my head on Blake's shoulder.

"Blake," I say.

"Yeah?" He asks.

"I think I love you." I admit.

"Boy, you don't know how long I have been waiting to hear those words." He says and we both laugh.

"But we need to show each other what love is, because quite frankly, I don't know either."
