"This truly is the most beautiful moment in my life." I assured as I laid back down, resting my head on his chest.

I closed my eyes for a moment, and I was able to forget about all the stress, and complications of the world. Right here, right now, that's all I need.

"Arrhhh..." I exhaled, while I was intertwining my fingers with his black, shiny hair.

"Hey Hailey, do you see that set of stars, right there?" He was pointing towards the starry night sky.

"Hmmm... Those right there?" I asked while I pointed at a random part of the sky.

"Yeah, they kinda look like a triangle, right?" He replied.

"Yeah, I see it now!"

I was excited, 'cause my mom and I would always go stargazing when I was younger. It used to be such a thrill, to simply look up at the quiet night sky, while trying to see a shooting star.

"It's called the 'Summer Triangle'... Oddly enough, it can mostly only be seen in the summer time. Probably hadn't guessed that, huh?" He joked while smiling at me.

"Ha ha ha ha, very funny Benjamin, or should I say Mr. Funny."

He placed his hand in mine, locking them firmly together. He then loosened his grip, and used his index finger, to gently stroke up and down my arm.

"Are you cold?" He asked, with a slight concern in his raspy voice.

"I mean, kinda I guess. It's really not tha..."

I didn't get to finish my sentence, before he sat up, and removed his own jacket. He put it around my shoulders, as soon as he did that, an instant scent of his familiar cologne hit my nose.

He then laid back down again. I was still sitting up with his jacket around my shoulders.

He was gazing at me, but not for very long though, because he quickly grabbed my arm, and in a swift movement, I was suddenly on top of him. He was looking into my eyes, and I returned the look. I could feel my face starting to warm up, so I broke the eye contact.

What am I doing? This is obviously the perfect chance for a kiss. But it's gonna be our first, and I want it to be perfect. What do I even do with my tongue? What if... no... no no no... it's definitely gonna fail, and then he will hate me, and break up with me. I'm not ready for this.

I took a deep breath, and looked back at his dark brown eyes. His gaze went to my lips, and back up to my eyes. I took the hint, and leaned in closer to his face, slowly closing my eyes as I went closer. I could now feel his breath against my lips, so I slowly wettened my lips with my tongue. We were almost touching now.

"But I mean, if you were alone with her in a room woul-"

I jumped up, as I heard someone talking in the distance.

Benjamin also got up, and started to pack our things, so we could leave quickly. The voices were coming closer. I'm assuming that it's two men, but I'm not sure if there's more than those two.

"Hey, it's okay. You don't have to look so frightened. I'm here, I'll take care of you." He reassured me.

He took my hand, and walked in the opposite direction of the faint voices, with our things in his left hand.
