After arriving home I walked upstairs and fell onto my bed trying go release all my tiredness from just laying there for a few seconds. I hear my phone chirp and figured that it is probably Amber, but to my surprise it was Caleb. I unlock my phone and just stare at this profile of this being. Damn... He Is Hot.

________________________________________

My heart is pounding in my chest, this sexy hunk of a boy lives around the corner of me and I'm meeting him in 10 mins at the park I need to look good so I stand up walk over to my closet and open it looking for something nice but comfortable.

I strip myself to my Jockeys and with an attempt try to flex to my mirror checking myself out. I settled with my loose light blue jeans, white top, white shoes and a jacket if it gets cold.

I walk to the park, in the center of the park there is a pond and multiple trees with benches. I approached the bench where he was sitting, his back to me. I stood there, admiring the view of the pond and the way he looked so effortlessly cool. He was slowly becoming the heartthrob of every girl in our school, and I couldn't believe I was the one meeting him.

Feeling a little mischievous, I tapped on his shoulder, and he jumped slightly, turning around to see who had touched him. Our eyes met, and I gave him a playful grin before walking around the bench to take a seat next to him.

"It's not funny, you know?" he said, giving me a mock glare with his earthy coffee brown eyes.

"Well, I didn't mean to scare you," I replied, unable to break eye contact with him.

"So, what do you wanna do?" I shrugged, gazing into the distance.

He looked pensive for a moment, then said, "How about we feed the ducks by the pond?"

I nodded with a smile, and we both got up to head toward the water's edge. As we approached the pond, I noticed a group of ducks swimming peacefully, quacking softly to each other.

He picked up some breadcrumbs from a nearby bench, and we started feeding the ducks together. It was a simple, sweet moment, and as we laughed and chatted, I couldn't help but feel a deep connection forming between us.

After a while, we found a cozy spot under a tree and sat down together. I couldn't resist teasing him a little more. "So, you're not afraid of ducks, but I can still make you jump with a tap on the shoulder?"

He chuckled and playfully nudged my shoulder with his. "Only when I'm not expecting it."

As the sun began to set, casting a warm, golden glow over the park, we continued talking about our interests, dreams, and favorite movies. It felt like time was standing still as we got to know each other better.

Eventually, as the sky turned a brilliant shade of orange and pink, he looked into my eyes and said, "I'm really glad you asked me to meet you here. It's been an amazing evening."

I smiled, feeling my heart flutter, and replied, "I'm glad you came. Maybe we can do this again sometime?"

He nodded enthusiastically, and in that moment, As the sun continued its descent, casting a warm, golden glow over the park, I couldn't help but feel a strong connection with the guy sitting next to me. Our conversation had flowed effortlessly, and I sensed that there was something truly special about our time together.

With a playful grin, he said, "You know, there's one thing missing from this perfect evening."

I raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Oh, and what might that be?"

He leaned in closer, his voice soft and warm, "Cuddling under this tree and watching the sunset together."

My heart skipped a beat as he scooted closer, leaving no space between us. We nestled against the tree trunk, our shoulders touching, and gazed out at the breathtaking sunset painting the sky with hues of orange and pink.

As the sun's last rays dipped below the horizon, we both fell into a comfortable silence, content in each other's company. The world seemed to disappear, leaving just the two of us and the tranquil beauty of the moment.

I couldn't resist stealing a glance at him, his profile bathed in the soft, warm light. His eyes were fixed on the horizon, his expression one of quiet serenity. It was a picture-perfect moment, and I knew I wanted to cherish it forever.

With a gentle smile, he extended his arm, inviting me to rest my head on his shoulder. I didn't need any more encouragement. I nestled closer to him, and he wrapped his arm around me, holding me close.

The gentle breeze rustled the leaves overhead, and the distant sounds of the city faded into the background. All that mattered was the feeling of his warmth, his steady heartbeat against my cheek, and the breathtaking beauty of the sunset.

As the colors in the sky deepened and the stars began to twinkle, we stayed there, cuddled together under that tree, savoring the magical moment in silence. It was a perfect evening, and in that instant.

As we continued to watch the sky transition from twilight to the gentle embrace of the evening, time seemed to slow down. The world faded away, and it felt as though it was just him and me against the canvas of the universe.

Under the tree, we exchanged soft whispers, sharing stories and dreams that felt like secrets meant only for us. Our fingers intertwined, creating a connection that was as tender as the fading light.

I couldn't help but sneak occasional glances at his face, and he'd respond with a smile that made my heart flutter. It was a smile that felt like home.

As the last traces of sunlight disappeared, we stayed there, wrapped in each other's warmth, gazing at the star-studded sky. It was a perfect ending to an unexpectedly wonderful evening.

He broke the silence, his voice soft and filled with sincerity. "You know, meeting you here today was the best thing that's happened to me in a long time."

I couldn't help but smile, my heart swelling with emotions. "I feel the same way. I'm really glad you came."

Just then, my phone rang, and I saw that it was my mother calling. I reluctantly answered, knowing it was time to return to the real world. "Hey, Mom."

Her voice was warm on the other end. "Matthew, dinner is ready. You need to come home now."

I sighed softly, realizing that our evening was coming to an end. "Okay, Mom, I'll be there soon."

Hanging up the phone, I turned to him and said, "I have to go. Dinner's ready at home."

He nodded, a hint of disappointment in his eyes. "I understand. We'll meet again soon, okay?"

I smiled, feeling a sense of excitement and anticipation about what the future held for us. "Absolutely. I can't wait."

With a final exchange of smiles, we reluctantly parted ways, with the promise of another meeting, another adventure. Walking away from the park, I couldn't help but feel like I was floating on a cloud, my heart full of hope for what lay ahead in this unexpected chapter of our lives.

As I walked away, I couldn't help but glance back at him one last time. With a warm smile, I called out, "See you tomorrow at school!"

His face lit up, and he waved in response, his gaze filled with excitement. "Can't wait!"
