"Don't go just yet." Johnny pleads to me as we walk out the cafe door. "Let's go for a walk or something!"

"Okay." I say, eager to do something with the day instead of being home alone.

He has no response, and only smiles. I lace my hand with his and he doesn't object; in fact he rubs circles on my palm. It feels like my stomach does a backflip.

We keep walking along the road, gravel crunching under our feet. The birdsong gets louder as we stroll to the edges of our small town, and people and cars are much less frequent. The streets are empty, save for a few outliers that are walkabouts.

"Where exactly are we going?" I ask giddily, breaking the silence.

He shrugs, his grin becoming wider. "I have no clue."

"I do." I laugh loudly, getting an idea. "Come on!"

Keeping our hands linked together, I dart ahead of him; pulling him through the seemingly abandoned town. We giggle, not trying to catch our breath, and I make one more turn at the end of the street. Heart pumping in my chest, I pull him into a park; gasping for air.

We collapse onto the tall grass, laughing in delight, and roll so that we're lying down next to eachother.

"What," he begins, "was that for?"

"I have no idea." I giggle. "You're supposed to be fit sporto!"

A sly grin forms on his face, transforming his features. "Oh, I am."

Why do I get the feeling that that was meant as a sexual innuendo?

A red colour must burst over my cheeks, I'm sure of it. I smile a little, biting my lip. My eyes flick away from his, down to our now tangled legs. He lets out a strangled breath and I look up again.

"You're lips look lonely." He grins unabashedly. "Would they like to meet mine?"

My stomach drops, heat spreading throughout my body. Is he implying he wants to... kiss me?

"They would." I reply in an almost whisper, studying his rosy cheeks.

Softly, and with a smile, he leans closer until our faces are almost touching. I've kissed guys before– but not like this. The plain anticipation of this has my body screaming with desire.

I breathe in, feeling his breath fan my face. We make eye contact, before my eyes flutter shut and he closes the small gap between us.

Our lips move in sync, slowly, dancing together like old partners. My hand makes its way to his hair on instinct, and he cradles my cheek; his scuffed palms making me shiver.

Minutes later, but what feels like mere seconds, I'm straddling him on the grass; my legs thrown over him. The small amount of oxygen I'm getting finally registers, and I break away; losing my breath for an entirely different reason now. Cheeks a flaming crimson colour, I subtly try and calm myself down.

Johnny smiles then; a breathless, drunk, hooked on you kind of smile. Reflecting back at him I'm sure is probably the same sort of smile– but coming from me. Moaning a little, he leans on back down into the grass and pulls me to his chest.

"I– I still can't breathe." I gasp, voice barely there.

"Neither." He coughs, grinning now.

"You– Oh my god." He starts. "You're a really good kisser."

"You're better." I giggle, doing well after a minute or two of breathing normally.

"Agree to disagree." He laughs throatily. Looking me again, he starts showering me with little butterfly kisses all over my throat and neck.

"Can– Can I try something?"

"Okay." I mumble, closing my eyes.

His lips continue planting kisses from my neck up until he dips down slightly below my collarbone. Then, he stays in the same spot for a while. After a while, my eyes flutter open when I realise what he's doing. Giving me a hickey– or trying to at least.

"Stop!" I say loudly.

He starts to laugh. And laugh and laugh and laugh. Giggling along with him, I bat him away and untangle my legs from his.

"This is like paradise." I say quietly after a while. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." He says sincerely.

We must have lay in that grass for another two hours at least, so when I got home I had many missed calls and texts from my sister. I also got grounded by my Mum– that was definitely a surprise.

It was all worth it though.

Definitely.
