When the morning light slipped into the tent, I groaned and covered my face with my forearm. This was one of the things I hated most in the world. Morning light hitting me straight in the face when I was still in dreamland. Allowing myself a few more minutes of peace and silence, I turned around to change my position and hugged the pillow to me. I could smell Matt's scent still lingering on it and I hugged it even tighter.

His scent reminded me of last night's events. I sighed. That kiss. I still couldn't grasp how on earth was I so brave as to step forward and grab him and-and... maul him like that! My goodness, I was so embarrassed, I couldn't face him this morning.

That's one of the reasons why when I didn't find him sleeping beside me this morning, I was relieved.

I took my time to get up and grab my coat to exit the tent. I can see the remains of last night's fire and Matt's coffee thermos flask.

Matt was nowhere in sight.

I sighed and began gathering all his shit that was lying around, so the woods weren't full of trash. It was still a Saturday, which meant that we had one more day -and night- out here.

I looked up and around me to try and find the idiot that I idiotically liked and the result was the same as before.

I went back to my things when all of a sudden I heard a loud whistle coming from afar. It sounded like it came from the pond I had found yesterday when we arrived.

And it did.

When I got to the pond I found the idiot himself a.k.a. Matt in all his glory swimming around. I gasped and yelled at him.

"What the hell are you doing, Matt? It's January, the water must be freezing! Get out, you're gonna get hypothermia!"

He just laughed at me -shocker.
"Come here, Nora! The water's great!" he hollered.

Yeah right. As if I was going to set foot into that freezing pond.

"You're insane if you think I'm getting in there!"

He laughed again and right when I was about to turn around and leave him alone in his madness, I notice he starts taking steps inside the water, approaching the shore.

Slowly. Very slowly.

Matt, in all his shirtless glory, walking slowly towards, like a predator stalks its prey.

I was the prey. A very willing prey.

-

Two minutes later I found myself upside down, Matt throwing me over his shoulders and running off to the water.

I started kicking and moving shouting, trying to get out of his tight grip, but it was no use.

"MATT! You asshole! Let me down right now! Don't you dare throwing me in the water!"

He threw me right in.

After half an hour of chasing around the pond and swimming and plain flirting, Matt and I got out of the water. The clothes that I was wearing were soaking wet and so was Matt's chest.

Truth is, he looked delicious.

Where were these thoughts coming from? That damn kiss was messing with my head.

After these perturbing thoughts tormented me for a good five minutes, I followed Matt to the tent and while I got changed he was putting up a bonfire to get warm. It was already 2pm.
