Sorry it was so smashed at first. I had to edit it.

Flashback:

Jack Brewer stared at his best friend. "You haven't been HUNTING?!" Kim Crawford narrowed her eyes at him and threw her hands up. "No, Jackson, I have not. For the billionth time!" "But.." "I haven't been hunting. There." "But you have a license?" "Yes." "Why?!" "My dad got it for me but then he left." "Oh.. Will you go hunting if I take you?" "Sure, Jack. Whatever floats your boat."

-end flashback-

So here I am. Sitting in a tree stand with my best friend Jack Brewer. I clicked the lock button on my iPhone to reveal the time. 6:30. It was still dark and pretty cold. I shivered under my coveralls and the camo blanket that Jack bought me. It was a pink Realtree throw.

He glanced over when I shivered. "Cold?" he mouthed. I nodded and he opened his arms. This was going to be awkward.. Uh I don't have a crush on him or anything, ew! No. But I'm freezing. I accepted his hug and wrapped my arms around him.

Light snow began to fall as the sun came up. Suddenly we heard the light footsteps of a deer and Jack nodded toward the feeder.

There stood a big 12-point buck. He smiled and lifted a gun up to the railing for me. I grabbed the stock and peered through the scope. The buck was close.. Maybe 120 yards away. I looked over at Jack. "Any time." he mouthed. I concentrated, aimed at the kill zone and.. BAM!

The gunshot split the eerie silence of the morning. The buck sprang up and ran, swaying and tripping. "You got him!" Jack whispered excitedly. I smiled. I couldn't stop smiling, actually. "You wanna wait for a doe or just get him and go get some hot cocoa?" "I'm cold and thirsty" I grinned

He nodded and began loading the stuff into his backpack. Ammo, snacks, blankets, gloves. Everything we had brought. He made sure my rifle was unloaded and hung it over his shoulder with the strap. "When I get halfway down SLOWLY follow me down the ladder so you don't fall." I obeyed and made it to the ground safely.

"Okay, let's go." We walked back to his mud-covered Chevy Silverado and he opened the door for me. I happily got in and strapped my seatbelt over myself as he started the truck. The heater roared. Warm.. I relaxed.

"Let's go find your monster buck." We drove down the path to the stand and Jack stopped the truck. We both hopped out and he lead the way toward where my deer was. Soon we saw the buck laying in the grass. I was grinning ear to ear. "Want a pic?" "Yeah!" He helped me lift the head up and I grabbed it by the base of the antlers. I was on my knees. I smiled and Jack snapped a few pictures on his iPhone. He smiled at me. "Excited?" "Heck yeah Brewer."

Then Jack did something totally insane. He leaned over, grabbed the sides of my face gently, and pressed his lips against mine. I blushed and began to kiss back, my arms wrapping themselves around his waist. After a LOOONG time we parted, panting and smiling.

"You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that..."

"Since we met?"

"Yeah" We kissed again. He leaned me up against the truck, planting small kisses on my neck and face.

"Uhh.. Jack?" I interrupted.

"Yes Kimmy?" He pulled away and looked at me questioningly.

"Not trying to ruin the moment or anything, but we kinda have a deer to load..." "Oh, right!" he turned dark red and began to drag the buck into his truck bed.

Once it was loaded, he shut the tailgate and we jumped into the cab. I fiddled with my hair. "So.. What does this make us?" "I don't know, boyfriend and girlfriend?" He winked "Or hunting buddies?"

"Both." I smiled mischievously and connected his lips with mine.

The end!

Sorry if you don't like hunting. I do, I got a one shot from it. So.. Review.. That's all I got.. Bye!
