Chapter 1: Sealed with a kiss

Alex jumped out of the bright red car and ran into her best friend's bear hug. "Mitchie!" She screamed as loud as she possibly could.

"Someone's happy to be here..." Nate said. He was leaning against a palm tree which was shorter than him. Hands in his pockets, he waited for his crush and best friend to run into him keeping him warm in an everlasting hug.

She did just that and he felt her warm body against his and Mitchie made a face at him as if to say "Nate's got a girlfriend!"

"I've missed you guys so much! Now that my dad's in jail, I can be with you guys every day!!" Alex was excited to see both her best friends. She watched Nate out of the corner of her eye. He was checking her out. Alex loved when he did that.

She spun around to face him. His hands tucked away in the pockets of him worn-out jeans, and the sharp leather jacket she had given him for his birthday, was never taken off. His chocolate brown eyes were still fixed on her slender body.

"So, Alex..." He started.

Alex blinked at him softly "Yes, Nate?" She asked him.

"Wanna go swimming??" He avoided the question which was meant to be "Do you wanna go out with me..." Maybe he would tell her at the ocean.

"Sure!" They grabbed hands and raced to the shore. All the while Alex was completely unaware of Nate's fixed stare on her.

They soon got to the beach and Nate took off his shirt. Alex watched him wondering what he was going to take off next...and she wanted to wait for him to get undressed, so that he could watch her...

He put his hands at his side and threw his grey shirt on the sand. He placed the Black jacket carefully on the ground.

"Wow, he really cares about it!!" Alex thought as she took off her shirt, slowly. She had a very revealing pink bikinni on, just for this occassion...JUST IN CASE this were to happen...

"Wow..." Nate thought..."She beautiful...she was teasing me, taking of her shirt soo slowly...and now...taking off her skirt..."

She slipped down her skirt and threw it aside, and model-walked over to him, smiling and meeting his chocolate-brown eyes. She hugged him and he felt her body once again, this time, she was shivering.

Nate jumped back. "Are you cold?!" He asked.

She lowered her voice, trying to get him to do something for her..."YES! Nate, I'm freezing!" She said cuddling her body. He pulled her close to him. He wanted to see her, wet.

"The water's warm, Alex." He stated. She squealed as he picked her up, and carried her to the water's edge. "NO!! NO!!" She was screaming. He smiled at her.

Up to his knees in warm, blue ocean water, he put her down, and he watched her. She splashed him until he was drenched in his jeans.

"You've asked for it!!" He flirted. He ran to her side as she was laughing, and he grabbed her waist. "I'm sorry Nate!" She said between laughs. Tickling her, he thought "Say I love you..." But he was dissapointed. He stopped the torture and she fell to her knees trying to catch her breath. "I'm...sorry...Nate..." She said again now catching her breath a little more.

She jumped on his back and he ran into the ocean with her. He felt her body close to his, and that was all that mattered in life right then and there. He was with the girl he was in love with.

He spun her around and said "Alex...you might not feel the same way as I do..but I...love you..."

He blushed a tomato red, as she uttered the words "I love you too, Nate."

And she sealed it with a passionate kiss.
