Pearl Harbor |HS| *ON HOLD*

Chapter 8

Harold

I hold her hand in mine as we walk the beach, talking about ourselves.

I've learned things like she loves to read, she loves animals, and she hates thunder storms.

She wants to have a child one day with the man she loves. She wants a little boy.

She goes on about her little dream house and how she wants to grow old surrounded by loved ones.

I listen intently and watch her eyes light up as she passionately talks.

Infatuated by every thing she says and does.

She's pure, and beautiful. The kind you bring home to the family.

"What are you thinking about?" Her quiet voice asks with curiosity.

She steps in closer to me and I wrap my arm around her as she cuddles into my side.

I smile down at her, she reminds me of a baby doe. Eyes wide and curios.

"You." I say. She looks down and hides.

"None of that now, I want to see your smile." I gently pull her chin up with my fingers and smirk.

"There it is. Beautiful." And I mean it. She is the most beautiful woman I've ever laid my eyes on.

Body, mind and soul.

Suddenly she stops and takes both of my hands in hers.

"I really like you." She whispers even though we're completely alone.

I lean in and repeat her words, "I really like you."

I look into her eyes, taking one of my hands and bring it to cup her cheek.

Her eyes flutter shut at the contact, she leans into my touch.

"I really want to kiss you." I admit, brushing my nose against hers.

With eyes still closed she smiles and says, "What are you waiting for?"

I close the space between us and press my lips against hers. My eyes closing in content.

Her hands rest on my chest and she holds onto me. Both of my hands grasp the back of her nape to hold her to me.

This is one hell of a first kiss. Now I know what the guys mean when they say it's a unforgettable moment.

A wave full of cold water splashes over our feet and up to our ankles making her gasp and pull away.

"My that's cold!" She begins to laugh, her shoulders shaking.

"C'mon lets get you warmed up, its getting cold out here." I wrap my arm around her and we walk back to our blanket.

Something grey and furry runs off and I see what it has in its hands.

"HEY THOSE ARE MY PRETZELS! GET BACK HERE!" I yell and chase after it.

Giggling behind me makes me stop and turn back around.

Evelyn covers her mouth with her hand laughing at me.

"I was going to eat those." I groan and kick the sand. She begins to laugh harder.

I notice her start to shiver and I put my boots on so we can leave and she can get warm.

We gather everything and start walking up the path back to the Jeep.

I toss the basket and blanket in the back and open the door to let her in.

I strap her in and tug on the belt to make sure it's securely strapped.

I walk around and get in, putting my own seat belt on.

Once we arrive in front on the little house I turn the engine off and look at her.

Her brown eyes already looking at me.

"I had a great night tonight. Thank you so much." She smiles. I help her get out and walk her up to her door.

"I'm glad you had fun." I look down at her and bite my lip.

"I want to ask you something," I start, she looks at me and nods her head.

"You're not seeing anybody, are you?" I timidly ask.

"No." She shakes her head and smiles.

Relief washes over me. "Good, because I would like to make this a regular thing. You and I."

"I'd like that." She says looking up at me. She leans in close and connects our lips.

I'm taken off guard but I quickly recover. I take her face in my hands and kiss her with everything I have.

Multiple squeals makes us break apart and I look around in confusion.

To our right aside the door is a window, and looking out that window are at least 3 girls about Evelyn's age jumping up and down.

They quickly stop once they see us looking and scream closing the blinds.

I look back at Evelyn in amusement and see her covering her face.

"I'm so sorry, those are my roommates." She looks at me in embarrassment.

"Its fine." I chuckle and take her into my arms in a hug.

She responds back, connecting our lips for the last time that night.

Or so I thought.

When we pull away I tell her goodbye and walk to my Jeep.

I stop half way and turn back to see her still standing there, smiling at me.
I start to walk back to her, her walking breaks into a run. She wraps her arms around me and takes my face in her hands.

I wrap her legs around me and hold her by her thighs.

"I can't resist." She heavily breathes before placing her sweet lips on mine.

I'm so thankful I decided to jump in front of Dylan that day, or else I would have never had the chance of meeting her. And we wouldn't be here, together, right now.

I completely give in, letting her take over all of my senses and my mind.

That's when I knew, this girl, was going to be the death of me.
