The pretty boy

The cove

Graces point of view
-
We walked hand in hand
Silently, to the the one side of field that no classroom had a view of

The cove

It was a piece of the field completely encircled by the hanging leaves of a Willow tree, as basically, you spread the leaves and then you walk into this secret little world the seniors had

The seniors had made it very clear to the younger ones that this was our space, that we went to when we bunked class

And that they were definitely not allowed there. Under any circumstances, it was seniors only

The cove was decorated like it usually was

The picnic blankets laid out on the grass, all nice and comfy, with fairy lights hanging from the branches, because the leaves were thick and it got dark in there

The usual beanbags

But there was something out of the ordinary
A picnic basket, with wine and

TEQUILA

As he started to lead me to the picnic, I stopped him, and got him to look at me
We stood close to each other, I could smell his cold minty breath waft over my face

I smiled at him. He smiled back

"I thought you were going to ask Katie" I breathed

"Who would ask Katie if they could ask you" he whispered
"Everyone but you" I deadpanned

He laughed, and I did to.

He closed his eyes and pushed his forehead against mine, slipped his hands into my waist, and gently pulled me closer. I closed my eyes and rested my forehead against his. This felt so right, him, me.
I put my hands on the back of his neck, and his grip on my waist tightened ever so slightly

He opened his eyes, but mine were still closed, when he moved his head away from mine I just stood there, eyes shut tight

I felt his hand life my chin and I opened my eyes.

It was just like in the movies, he so slowly moved himself towards me, closing the space between us, tilted his head and gave me a look that I'd never seen before, then his eyes closed and his lips touched mine, so gently, almost like they didn't touch, but they did, and it sent shockwaves through my body

I kissed him back

It seemed to last forever

But at the same time, if felt like it lasted no time at all, it was gentle, loving and it felt like my whole world just disappeared and everything was him

When we finally pulled away and caught our breath, he smiled at me, the Kind of smile that's so slight, but when you're this close to another human, it was so obvious I couldn't miss it

"Well I didn't think that this was how my day was gonna go" I giggled

He chuckled under his breath, "I was hoping this was gonna be the outcome, but I didn't know how amazing it was going to be, how electric, and I didn't know you were such a good kisser"

I blushed, my lips just moved in sync with his, like it was so natural

"That was my first kiss" I blushed

He looked so genuinely astonished, but laughed

"If you didn't tell me I would never have guess" he laughed

I just giggled and blushed

This was perfect.

So damn perfect, he was so damn perfect.

I went on my tiptoes and put my arms around his necks signaling for him to hug me,

He wrapped his arms around my waist, and pulled me close, trying to close the already non existent space between us.

And then he gently lifted my feet if the ground and I wrapped my legs around his waist

And he carried me to the picnic blanket.
