A/N So I was asked to carry on this one shot and I will not disappoint, so here goes(:
Waving goodbye to Burt, Kate and I headed to the park. Our arms swayed back and forth and our knuckles grazed each others now and then. The sun was beating down on us, making a silhouette of our bodies on the gravel below. Even Kate's shadow is perfect, how is that possible?.
"Babe" Kate said, interrupting my thoughts,
"Sorry, what did you say?" I shook my head, blushing. She giggled that melodic laugh she has which is music to my ears.
"I said" she drawn out, "That this looks like a perfect place to sit and relax"
I hadn't even realised we were at the park, let alone under an old oak tree. I looked around at the scenery, Kate was right, this is a perfect place.
The tree provided even shade that we didn't have to squint, but it was still warm. The tree was surrounded by lush grass, that seemed to go on for miles, and there were scatters of bluebells placed randomly around the tree. You could hear children's bell-like laughter in the distance, but there was no people in sight. I hummed in delight and plonked myself on the grass. Kate, as always, sat more gracefully than me, sitting opposite me and crossing her legs, pulling her skirt in between her legs so I couldn't see anything. Damn it.
"What's got you so deep in thought?" Kate questioned, looking at me through her eyelashes, picking self-consciously at the grass.
"How perfect you are" I answered truthfully, sighing dreamily.
"Blaire" she whispered, "You cant say things like that" She ducked her head, embarrassed.
"Why?" I asked, tilting my head in confusion, how can someone so perfect not think they are?.
"Because" She murmured, going back to picking the grass.
"Invalid response" I demanded lightly, she didn't let up. "Hey" I called, sitting back on my hands, straightening out my legs and swinging my foot so it tapped her knee. She sighed deep in her chest, and I grew more concerned with her silence.
"Baby" I cooed, crawling towards her and settling on my knees. I clutchedher hand softly in mine and pulled it away from the grass. "What's the matter?" I asked, worried.
"Why are you still with me?" She finally looked at me, her eyes stormy. I was completely shocked and thrown off by the loaded question.
"Woah" I breathed, "Where's this coming from?" This isn't a side I got to see often, she was usually poised and confident, not insecure, especially about out relationship.
"We've been together over two years, sweetheart, I'm still with you because I love you" I tried to reassure.
"Exactly" she quipped, "two years, surely you're bored with me, now"
"Are you bored with me?" I asked, cupping her face and both hands, swiping my thumb back and forth on her sharp cheekbone.
"Of course not" she gasped, "Never"
"Then why would I be bored with you?" I countered tenderly
She bit her bottom lip tightly between her teeth, a quirky habit she had on the rare occurrence that she got nervous. There was a slight breeze, making the leaves above us rustle, but it wasn't cold. I removed my hands from her face and sat in our original position, but I made sure to rest my hands on her knees, whilst I listened intently.
"Well, you're like, smart and stuff" She waved her hands around, "Don't you want someone whose intelligent, someone who reads books, someone who can keep up with you" she trailed off.
"Baby, listen" I ordered, "You may not be the brightest crayon in the box, but you're my crayon" I smiled, "And when we get out of this cow town, you are going to be the most brightest and shining star that this world has ever been blessed with, okay?" I continued,
"You think so?" She whispered, eyes wide and glistening
"I know so" I confirmed. "Oh" I extended, "And as far as keeping up with me goes, Im pretty sure you're way past me" I grinned.
She smirked, catching on to my innuendo. She pushed lightly on my shoulders until I was laying fully on the grass, earthy smells filling my nostrils. Kate then proceeded to lay her own body on top of me, our chests pressing against each other and our legs entwined. Her hair flowed down and I pushed it gently behind her ears, her eyes closing at the touch.
She opened them slowing and I found myself getting lost in them, again. She pressed her forehead against mine in a loving gesture, and I couldn't help but close my eyes at the feeling. The feeling only lasted a short while until an even grater experience passed over me, Kate had began to press tiny butterfly kisses all over my face, my skin left tingling at the feeling and her lipgloss left residue in its wake, but I certainly was not complaining.
"Since I'm way past you" She echoed, pulling back. "Are you sure you can keep up with me?" she teased
"Oh, I'm not sure" I replied dumbly, "Maybe we will have to see" I whispered, seductively
"Maybe we will" She replied, sealing our love with a kiss.
