The sun felt soft against your skin and the grass beneath you tickled your ankles. The sweet smell of spring was present and so were the sounds of children laughing while running around the park.

Laying on the grass with your arms tucked behind your head in the park was your ideal Saturday. Nothing beat the natural endorphins that came from being outside. The outdoors was something you treasured and never took for granted, but there was something in the pit of your stomach that you couldn't quite place the feeling of. A secret message that your body was trying to communicate with you, but you didn't know how to decode it.

The feeling in your stomach came in and out like ocean tides, but you never paid any attention to it. You felt content with everything in your life and there wasn't a thing you wanted change.

You took a deep breath, trying to breathe in as much of the fresh spring air as possible, and let it out slowly.

"Hey, sleepy."

You opened one eye and saw your boyfriend upside down waving and smiling with a blanket in his hand. A smile graced your lips as you closed both eyes shut before opening them slowly to adjust to the brightness of the sun.

You lifted your head slightly, moved your arms from behind your head, and sat yourself up with your legs sticking straight out, "You're a bit late."

Shawn rolled his eyes as he leaned down to press a quick peck to your lips as a greeting, "Had to run some errands for my mom." He straightened up and then shook the blanket out before spreading it out on the grass. Once he sat down on the blanket, he took his time gazing at you with admiration in his eyes. You were sure you mirrored his look.

He patted the spot next to him, "Come here."

You stretched your legs before getting up and walking a few feet over to where he had set up the blanket. You sat next to him and he immediately swung an arm over your shoulder and brought you close into his side. You wrapped your arms around his stomach and buried your face in the crook of his neck. He smelled almost as good as spring.

"Missed you," Shawn mumbled as he kissed the top of your head and started to lean the both of you down so you were laying on the blanket. His arm was still around your shoulder, but you scooched down a bit, so your head was leaning on his arm like a pillow, "And I'm so proud of you for finishing this semester. Only one more left."

You chuckled and repeated his statement, "One more left."

"You're so smart," He lazily started to twirl the ends of your hair between his fingers, "Graduating a semester early."

You turned onto your side and curled into him more, resting your cheek on his shoulder as you looked up at him through your eyelashes, "I'm smarter than you."

His stomach moved with laughter, "Can't argue with you there."

The hand that you rested on his stomach rose up and down with his even breathing. Everything was so peaceful; serenity was the only thing occupying your mind. You didn't know what your plans were for after graduation, and while it was a concern of yours that you didn't know what you wanted, you knew whatever you had planned would be with Shawn.
