Dinner was just beginning to be cleaned up and I said I was going to get some fresh air and be back in a few minutes. I walked out to the backyard to enjoy the view of water and the Washington Monument. I then sat down on the stairs leading down to the walkway and bent my knees close to my chest, partially so I could rest my head on my arms and partially because it was freezing and I forgot my winter coat inside.

Suddenly I felt this heavy warm material being tossed around my shoulders and I turned around to see Aaron giving me my coat. He smiled at me and sat close putting his arms across mine rubbing up and down to try and make me warmer. Suddenly I didn't feel cold anymore, and more for the reason that he was sitting so close to me and I felt his breath on my skin.

He began to speak in a soft tone and I couldn't quite make out what it was he was saying. I looked at him and asked him what he was trying to say. His cheeks were red, and I couldn't tell if it's from being cold or he was blushing. I hoped it was the latter. I slightly smiled at him once again and told him that I'd been meaning to talk to him for a while, but that I wanted to wait until it was in person.

Suddenly it happened. I didn't even understand what was happening until it finished. My heart was racing and my head was spinning. He pulled away from me and looked into my eyes. Suddenly I leaned in again and locked lips with him. This time we were both reciprocating the kiss and were both prepared and heated.

We pulled away again after a good five minutes when we heard Morgan yelling across the yard that there was dessert. Aaron helped me up and said that we would talk later. We kissed one more time and walked back to the house, trying to keep some distance so no one else would notice for now. I wanted us to talk before we started anything.
