New Beginnings

I gaze up at Christopher with a look of amazement. How is it that he can make any bad situation better? After grabbing his hand, I shoot him a look of admiration. After giving me a big smile, he helps me pack up my beach supplies then we head for my car. After putting the stuff in my car, I hop in the front seat and tell him to follow me.

He gives me a look of question.

"I don't really want to leave my car here. I'm going to go drop it off and then we're gonna go from my place. That cool with you? Sorry, am I getting ahead of myself?" I stumble

"No, no. That actually makes perfect sense. I didn't think that far." Christopher flushes

I get into my car as he walks back to his. On the way to my house, I can't help but get excited about where he's gonna take me. I like how spontaneous he is, it's thrilling. I could've never imagined my day panning out this way, but I'm curious to see what's gonna happen.

After I pull into the driveway, I hop out of the car. I then double back down the driveway towards Christopher's car. After getting in, I let out a deep breath.

"So, where are we going?" I question

"Somewhere" Christopher sarcastically remarks

"Vague, very vague." I respond

After he starts the engine, I connect my phone to his Bluetooth. After giving a mischievous smirk, I play Saw You In A Dream by the Japanese House. After he weirdly contorts his face as a remark to the music, he speaks up.

"What is this. Bro, come on now. Do I look like an Indie kinda guy?" He says

"Wow." I say staring straight ahead

He comes to a stop at the light and puts his hand on the back of my seat and looks at me intently.

"What" he says softly and playfully

"You totally just friend-zoned me. Bro" I remark as I gaze out the window

Letting out a snarky nervous laugh, he continues to drive. At the next light, he lightly lifts up my chin and directs it towards him. After staring into my eyes, he speaks.

"I did not mean it like that." He says before giving me a kiss on the cheek

With no explanation to contemplate over, I shift my flushed face back towards the window. Soon, we're at Walmart, and I begin to wonder.

When we wander into the store, Christopher walks intently directly to the bedding materials. He grabs a blanket and puts it into the cart. He makes his way to decor and grabs a basket. I think I have an idea where this is going.

With both of these in the cart, we headed for the food section.

"So, what will be on the menu?" He asks

"I get to decide?" I question

"Yes ma'am" He retorts

"Hmmm…...no. We will pick the food together. We will both be eating." I say

After flashing me a smile, he points to the potato wedges.

"A must. Hey, can we get 20 of those?" He says to the woman.

"I want you to try something. And before you say no, it's really good. Ok, Ranch seasoned fried chicken". I say

After a few seconds of staring at me, he sighs in acceptance.

Pleased, I say, "Can we get 20% of the ranch fried chicken?"

"Woah! Who's gonna even eat all that?" He says as he cocks his head

I stare at him for a moment in seriousness.

"Once you get used to my eating habits. I assure you that our time spent together will be much easier".

After that, we asked him to make two club sandwiches with Colby jack and provolone cheese with honey turkey. We then pick up cool ranch Doritos, sour patch kids, Reese's, and Twix. Then we head for our drinks.

After check out, we pile the stuff into the basket, then Christopher starts driving again.

As he drives, we pass beautiful scenery, and I notice we're going out of the urban part of town.

"Close your eyes" He says

When I do, He wraps something around my eyes to prevent me from looking.

"Oh my!" I say in surprise

I hear him open the back door, and I assume it's to grab the basket. He then starts leading me in unknown directions. When we get there, he takes off the blindfold, and I am truly stunned.

We're in the valleys, where that grass is so green and pebbles crown over the blue-ish water of the plunge pool. I look at the waterfall, and I want to scream and cry of joy.

I hear Christopher chuckle as I turn around to see him laying down the gigantic blanket we bought. He then sets the basket down and sprawls out the delights.

As the hot sun hits my bare legs, I rush over to Christopher and sit down as he did. After that, I take off my oversized sweater and let the sun hit my skin. Since I'm wearing a crop top, I realize how exposed my skin actually is. But surprisingly, I'm not even embarrassed.

After using some, I pass him the sanitizer, and we dig in. We start with the chicken, and just as I hoped, he likes it. Once we finish that and the potato wedges, we start tossing blueberries in each other's mouths. Then, we flat out begin to feed each other. It's weird, you know. These are all things that I wanted to do with Bryce, but I know that if I did these things with him, it wouldn't even come close to feeling as great as it does with Christopher.

Then his spontaneous ass gets up and takes off his clothes. In bewilderment, I stare as his toned muscular chest. He then holds his hands out as I try to avoid looking below his waistline.

"Well? Are you coming for a swim?" He says

After letting out a huge breath of relief, I nod in excitement. When I stand up, I slip off my slipper and my shorts. I then pull off my pink crop top. Suddenly, I'm embarrassed. Nobody has seen me naked before besides Dorcas. (We went skinny dipping). I look down as my long dirty blonde hair falls down my shoulders. I take note of the silence as I glance at my hot pink lace bra and panty set. It's very lingerie material.

I touch my shoulders and look to the ground. I wiggle my toes in the bright green grass and wait for the awkwardness to pass.

"Why are you so jittery?" Christopher says quietly

"It's just...no one's ever seen me undressed before," I say as I flush even more

Christopher walks towards me and unravels my arms.

"You are the definition of perfection. Anything other than that is a lie". He says firmly

He takes my hand and starts running into the plunge pool. Once we hit the cold water, I instantly relax.

Once I let go of his hand, I started swimming towards the waterfall. Once I peer behind me, I notice him following me. Then I pull a stunt and disappear behind the waterfall. From behind the waterfall, I see Christopher with a frantic look on his face as he wades towards me.

"Allison? Where the hell did you go?" Christopher shouts

Giggling, I make a weird noise that signals his attention over to me. He swims over as I jump out of the water.

"BOO!" I yell

"JESUS FUCKING CHRIST ALLISON!" Christopher yells

In a laughing fit, Christopher grabs me and dunks me under the water.

"HEY! No fair!" I say

"How is it not fair?" Christopher asks

"That was a cheap shot! I was unprepared". I reply

Soon, we both turn into a laughing fit. Soon the unexpected happens.

Christopher comes closer to me and puts a strand behind my ear. I swear It felt like the world went silent. He stares into my eyes, and with his left hand, he grabs my hip. With his right, he grabs my cheek gently and draws my face towards him. Breaking his gaze, he closes his eyes, and I do the same.

It just feels right. I lean into the kiss, and my body feels like it's on fire. He deepens the kiss as I come closer. It feels like we're hungry for each other, and this is the only way for relief.

He tightens his hold on my hip as I grab him closer. Soon, I feel something hard growing on my stomach. He kisses me even harder as I release a moan into his mouth.

He groans, then his hand travels below my hip ( to my BACKSIDE, if you catch my drift). A moan escaped his lips before he pulled away from the kiss. Me still completely in ecstasy lets out a whimper.

"That was…...amazing" Christopher says as he caresses my cheek

I grab Christopher in a hug. Since he's way taller than me, I lay my head in the center of his chest. He then takes my hand and pulls away from the hug and holds it to his heart.

"Do you feel the way I feel?" Christopher says as he looks down into my eyes

A moment of silence goes by. I can still feel his gaze burning into me.

"I...I….how do you feel?" I ask softly

"I feel like I was drowning before you came into my life, but when you came, it was like a breath of fresh air. In such little time, I've become infatuated with you. You make me feel special and lucky and.....great. I feel like the luckiest guy on the planet when I make you smile. I thought it was gonna be hard for me to adjust to this town, but you've made it so much easier. Allison, you're......my sunshine"
