Ethans POV

She eagerly pulled my arm running along the trail. I smiled to myself at her. She was like a little child on Christmas morning, her eyes were sparkling and she had a huge smile plastered across her face. Her pony tail was bouncing up and down. She was perfect.

She looked back, "come on hurry up!" She giggled. I chuckled at her childish self, moving faster to keep up with her pace.

She slowed down, almost making me run into her. She was now walking towards an opening at the end of the trail. I was now walking next to her, our finger intertwined.

We walked out into the opening, my mouth dropped. It was astonishing, we were on top of a cliff. You could see the whole hiking park from it. There was a big aqua waterfall falling off it into a small lake.

"Do you like it?" She looked at me. I was at a loss of words, "I-it's beautiful," I put my hands behind my head and admire the view. "But not as beautiful as you," I turn towards her and wink. She turns away and although it was hard to see since the sun was setting I could see her cheeks turn a light shade of pink.

"Let's go sit down and watch the sun set," she broke the silence pointing to a bench by the edge of the waterfall. "Yeah, okay." I nod my head and we walk over and sit down. We had perfect view of the sunset. It was so relaxing. The sky was filled with deep purples, pinks, and oranges. The sound of the water rushing in the background made the moment so perfect. I was next to the girl I liked a lot, in a beautiful place, just wanting to stay there forever.

She leaned her head on my shoulder. I look down at her and smile, she was watching the sunset. I wrap my arm around her and pull her in a little closer. She doesn't move, she just snuggles into me more.

The sun was almost completely down, "Elena?" I don't move as I say her name. "Yes?" She looks up at me. "Do you want to do something fun?" A smirk found its way to my face. "Like what?" She looked confused. "Like go swimming." The corners of my mouth pointed upwards as I smiled. "But we don't have swim suits." She stated. "True, but we don't need one," I shrugged looking down her body and back up to her eyes.

"Are you advising that we skinny dip?" She slightly laughed as she said this. "It's not skinny dipping if we still have our underwear on." I say matter of factly. She scratched her head like she was thinking about what to say.

"Yeah ok" she finally sighed out. "Yay!" I jumped up and down like a little kid, causing Elena to giggle.

I slide my shirt off and start unzipping my jeans and look over at Elena who was watching. "Like what you see?" I tease. She blushed "I- uh.." She stuttered. I chuckled "I know I'm hot but you should really start taking off your clothes." I bite my lip. She glares at me then turns around and slides her shorts down, tossing them to the side. I let my jeans drop to the ground and step out of them. I set them on the bench and when I turn back Elena is standing there in only her bra and panties (a/n I hate that word). She had her arms crossed over her chest. I stare and up and down her body.

"Hello! My eyes are up here!" She waves a hand in my face and I look up at her. "Oops sorry," I smirk. "What?" She smiles and furrows her eyebrows. "Oh nothing," I smile as I run over to her scooping her up in my arms holding her bridal style. "Ethan! What are you do-" she yelled but before she could finish I jumped off the cliff and we were falling towards the water. Her grip on me tightened as she screamed. I chuckled and we hit the water.

I broke the surface of the water and see her come up shortly after me. She took in a deep breath of air and wiped her eyes. She looked at me with an angry expression on her face. "I'm gonna kill you Ethan!" She playfully yelled while swimming towards me. I swam away laughing, but she was too fast. She wrapped her arms around me and punched me back repeatedly. "I hate you," she whined. "Love you too" I smiled and faced her.

We just stayed there. I took this moment to admire her. Her wet hair was shining in the moonlight. Water droplets sitting on her cheeks. Her perfect white teeth that shined when she smiled.

I didn't realize how close we were until I felt her warm breath on my lips. I cupped her cheeks with my hands. She put her hand on top of mine and looked down at my lips. I looked at her as she moved in closer. Before I knew it, our lips were locked together. It was like I was in paradise, the feeling of her wet lips pressed against mine. I have been waiting for this moment, and now it was finally happening. Her hands moved to the back of my neck, pulling me closer to her.

I heard a car door slam closed and we both looked over breathing heavily. I couldn't make out who was there because the headlights of their car were blinding me.

"What the fuck Elena!" The voice yelled.

"Grayson? What the hell are you doing here?" She questioned.
