I stared at him across the fire. He was smiling at something one of his friends had said. I took a sip of my beer. He looked back across the fire at me. A smile played on his lips. His dark hair fell onto his forehead. The guy next to him said something else. Jon’s eyes moved away from me.
I could feel my heart hammering in my chest. After years of knowing each other we finally admitted to each other that we were into each other. We started texting a lot and flirting. I was finally here with him and I felt like the night held unspoken pleasures just waiting to be set free.
The girl sitting next to me said something and pulled me into a conversation.
I was unaware that Jon had gotten up. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up at him.
“ Hey do you want to come down by the lake and smoke with us?” he asked
“ Sure” he held his hand out to me to help me up. I got up and stumbled into him. His arms caught me. He let out a laugh.
