For the next one week, Christian and I were the latest 'new hot couple' like they call it school. The girls were talking about how Christian is soooooo romantic and cute while the guys were talking about how Christian will dump me in a week because of his bad boy status.
After Christian asked me out, he has been taking me out on dates and tonight, he has a surprise for me. Today being Friday, I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't come back until later.
He had told me to wear jeans and sneakers so I decided to wear all black. Black jeans, black sneakers, black thick loose top ( not to loose and not to tight, just right!) since the night is a little chilly and a black beanie.
Since I didn't know where we are going, I decide not to take any purse. I put my phone in my back pocket with some cash. I put up minimal makeup and walk downstairs. When I got downstairs, I hear a knock on the door and knowing it is Christian, I grab my keys and dart to the door.
Christian is also in all black. Black jeans, black top, black vans a black beanie and I smile.
"Would you look at that!" He started.
"We are matching!" I squeal.
"Yeah." He kisses my cheek and that leaves tingling sensations in me. For the last week, Christian had been giving me kisses on my cheek and each kiss had left me with a wanting need of him kissing me. Really kissing me.
"Ready?" He asks.
"Yeah." My voice comes out croaked and Christian smirks. I really hate the way he is able to make me putty in his hands. I clear my throat and lock the door.
"So where are we going?" I ask Christian as he opens the door for me.
"It wouldn't be much of a surprise if I tell you now would it?" He asks as he closes my door.
"Hint?" I ask immediately he sits.
"Hmmmmm. Magical place." He says and starts the car.
"Magical place?" I ask confused and he nods. "How is that supposed to help!"
"You'll see."
We have been driving for over an hour and I ask Christian if we were there yet every five minutes.
"Are we there yet?" I ask again.
"Actually yes."
"Really?" I ask exticedly and look around but what I could only see trees, trees and trees.
"Um Christian?" I call to him and he answers in a questioning hum. "Where are we?"
"Somewhat outskirt of town."
"So you brought me out to the forest to kill me." I state as I look around to see more trees.
"Maybe." He says with humor and I glare at him. He turns towards a forest way off the main road and goes further and further until he comes to a stop.
"Christian?"
"Now here's what you are going to do for me babygirl."
Babygirl?
"What?" I ask.
"You are going to have to close your eyes because what I want to show you is the main surprise."
"Okay? But you have to promise not to kill me."
"I'll try." He says and I close my eyes.
I hear doors opening and Christian takes my hand leading me. He keeps his hands over my eyes just in case I try to peep.
"Careful darling, we are going down a lil bit."
darling?
"But you got me right?" I ask.
"Of course I do."
We walked for about ten minutes and I hear sounds of waves before he finally opens them.
"You can open them now." He says.
"Finally." I slowly open my eyes and what I see leaves me speechless.
In front of me is a beach. A beach I didn't know existed. Although we do have a beach in Oaksville, I didn't know we had more. The smell of the salty sea tingled my nose as I breathed in a breath of chilly fresh air. The waves were singing me a dulcet lullaby, drawing me closer to them. I watch as the stars shimmer, like diamond hidden within igneous rocks. I close my eyes and reflected on the beauty of nature.
"Wow Christian it's-" I couldn't find the right word.
"Magical?"
"Yeah." I turn to see him smirking.
"Told you it's a magical place."
"Yeah yeah. I didn't know there is a beach outside of town.
"Yeah it's hidden and secluded. That's what makes it more magical."
"How did you find it?"
"Went hiking one day and stumbled upon it."
"Why would you want to go hiking here?' I ask but he just shrugs.
The smell of serene salt water and the feel of the nice, cool breeze tonight seemed to calm in a way I couldn't understand. Slipping off my sneakers to let my feet sink in the sand, I walk down the empty beach and I smile to myself.
''You like?" Christian asks behind me.
"I love it." I say still smiling. Christian puts his hands around my waist and kisses my neck. He sits me on the sand with him and I rest my back against his chest.
"Let's go swimming." Christian suggests after a while.
"What! No! It's gonna be like 80° degrees in there."
"Please!"
"No."
"Okay." He stands up pulling me with him and me not knowing what he was about to do, I didn't resist. Christian wraps his arms around my waist and tosses me over like I weigh nothing. Laughing, I pound his back with my fists playfully.
"Put me down!" I yell through my laughs and he smirks, just shaking his head and shouts "never!"
We make our way to the water and when he does set me down, I instantly regret asking him to. The water is freezing.
"Oh my god, it's cold!!!!" I state the obvious and he laughs. He leaves me to go deeper in the water. He takes off his shirt and throws it at me before diving into the water.
A few seconds later, he pops up and rubs his eyes, I move closer to him not caring that my jeans are getting deep and wet in the water. I close whatever space between us and stroke his cheeks.
"Your jeans are soaking." He states
"So are yours." I also state and he looks down his wet jeans and smiles.
''Yeah. They'll probably start to itch any second now."
"I told you not to go swimming" I say in a whisper as I'm caught in the whirlwind of emotions going through his beautiful grey eyes.
He brings his face down to mine and kisses me with a passion I can't define. He gives me a crazy feeling in my stomach when he slides his tongue against mine. I slide my arm around his neck, bringing us even closer together, and both of us smile. A huge wave crashes against us and I lose my balance. Luckily, his supportive arms around my waist don't let me fall over. I arch my back and he pulls me even closer. I run my hand slowly down his chest and wrap it around his waist. I got to say, it may have been my first kiss, but it is still the best.
"Gosh panda, I like you so much." He pulls his face away just far enough so he can look at me when he says and this and I just smile.
"I like you too." I tell him and pulls me in for a hug and places a line of kisses from my temple to the bottom of my neck and I smile.
We stay like that for a little while before he speaks up
"C'mon let's get outta here. I'm starting to freeze."
"Aw. We don't want that to happen now do we?" I ask with sarcasm in my voice. Christian notices it too because he smiles.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's go." He pulls my hand and leads me out of the water and Towards where our shoes are.
Luckily, Christian has another pair of trousers and shirt in his car. He drives me home and I thank him when we get there.
"You know, out of all the dates you've taken me to this week, this is the best. Thank you."
"Don't worry panda. There's more from where that came from." He says cheekily and I peck him on the lips before sliding out of his car.
