Kate's P.O.V
I really liked how everyone referred to us as "lovebirds". It increased my hopes of someday being with Charlie, as more than a friend.
We stayed at the Adam and Behati's place till a little before sundown.
We were on our way back home but Charlie took another turn and went to the direction opposite my house. I was confused. I said,"Where are we going?"
Charlie smiled. He was in a very good mood, he seemed to be very happy.
After a while he spoke,"Would you like to go to the beach? Away from everyone, peaceful... I love to go see the sunset from the beach. It's beautiful."
"I'd love to......but how will we find such a peaceful spot?"
Charlie grinned. He said,"Never told this to anyone but I know a secret spot."
I smiled. Today was a really nice day, we visited friends and had some romantic time together ,too.
(35 minutes later)Kate's P.O.V
I was lost in my thoughts when Charlie stopped the car and he said,"We're here."
I stepped out of the car and looked around, the place was crowded. People were crammed up in the place and there was alot of noise. I said,
" Hey Charlie, weren't we looking for 'peaceful' ?"Charlie answered,
"Yes. We still got some walking to do. I know a spot. In fact, I know 2 good spots."Charlie took out his bagpack which I hadn't noticed before and we started walking to a part of the beach which was slightly less crowded. We came to a spot where there was no one but the noise could be heard from a distance. I thought we were going to sit here but Charlie said,
"See that little stream formed? The one with 2 large rocks in front of it?""Yes." I answered looking at the stream.
"You have to slightly push away one rock and you'll find a cave opening, we can walk into it, we might have to duck down a little though."
We slightly moved the rock and went into the cave opening. The light from outside filled the cave but a soon as Charlie closed the opening, everything became dark.
Only a few seconds later, my eyes got used to the darkness and a soft blue glow from crystals in the cave allowed me to see everything. It was beautiful. Through the way, our path got slightly deeper but then it got fine. In the path where it was deepest, there was another cave opening. I was about to go inside but Charlie said,
"We'll go there but first, we have to go somewhere else."We walked for a few more minutes and at the end of the tunnel, there was light. We stepped outside and I found myself on a beach so beautiful and serene. I said,
'"Wow.... how do you know about this place?""When I was about 5, I found a place on the globe which was quite close to the busy city. But a large cliff protected the beach from all the city. No one comes to these cliffs, they were part of a building built on the land close to the cliffs but, the building was shut down forever. Everyone forgot this place but I found it when I came to the beach with my family. I never told anyone, not even Mom."
We layed down on the soft sand, right next to each other and stared at the sky which was a beautiful mixture of purple, deep blue and orange. The stars were really bright but there still was some sunlight. Charlie held onto my hand and said,
"Can we stay here forever?"
"I won't mind."
He turned over to me and supported himself with his elbows. He put his free hand on my cheek and tucked my hair behind my ear. He said,
"You mean the world to me."
He leaned in and kissed me. I melted under his embrace. I really loved him, didn't I? I've never been in love before. If this is what love feels like, I'd say it's the best and worst thing happening to me. The worst part of all this is my fear of losing him. The best part in this, is well... loving him.
We stayed there for a while, admiring the beautiful view. We got up after a while. We headed back into the tunnel. We were in the deepest part again when charlie said,
"Come on here."We went in the other tunnel. We walked a bit and then we reached a small opening, blue light was seeping through it. We went inside. The small opening led to a large pod like place. There was water reflecting blue light from the crystals encircled by soft mud. I took off all my clothes except for my shorts and bra. Charlie was already wearing swimming trunks. We both stepped in the water. It wasn't too cold or too hot, just perfect. I smiled and said,
"Thank you. Today was awesome."
He didn't say anything but leaned in towards me, he looked deep into my eyes and our lips slowly met. He kissed me more passionately than last time. He cupped my cheek with one hand and held my waist with the other. I put both my hands behind his neck.I knew it. I was crazily in love with this man, my best friend.
