Secrets

Ashley POV

"Hey, Ash!" Alex yells across the parking lot. "Follow me in the Porsche, there's someplace I wanna take you." She climbs into her Honda Civic and drives off.

I follow her around for a good 20 minutes, dodging traffic until we approach a path that I've never seen before by the beach. She climbs out after parking, and smiles back at me. "Come on, Ash." I follow her down the path, curious as to where she is taking me. We're surrounded by mangroves and trees leading to a secluded part of the beach that looks untouched.

"Wow, Al…It's beautiful." I stare at the water. Watching the sun reflect off of it.

"Yeah, it's my own special place, ya know. And I wanted to share it with you. Call it a little secret between us." She gives me a heart-melting half-smile, her blue eyes shining in the light. "Hey…you wanna come sit?" She plops herself down onto the sand a few feet from the waves and pats the space infront of her.

We've always been sort of a cuddle sort of best friends so I sit in between her legs and lean into her as she wraps her toned arms around my waist and rest her chin on my shoulder. We talk about everything and nothing, until she pauses for a moment before continuing "Ash?" She says quietly in my ear.

"Yeah, Laxxy?" I mumble, as I close my eyes and feel the warmth from her body and the sun. Laxxy's kind of my little nicname for the lacrosse player which came up when I was teasing her about her sport involving balls, a stick, a head, and a bag, I mean come on it's not like you can't not make fun of the sport because of its terminology. So in my singsongy teasing voice I was rambling on about Alex and her lax…which came out randomly with a -y at the end. Lovely story of the origin of weird nicnames. So BAM, back to this scene.

"Do you wonder sometimes why I haven't been with anyone in the past few years?"

I open my eyes and look back at her. "Yeah, I do sometimes."

She looks down at her foot digging holes in the sand. "Ha…yeah. Uh, well…I've actually never dated….or…been kissed." She shrugs, looking off into the distance. "I guess I never found the right person…or the right person didn't show interest in me…" She glances at me and then back to the water.

I tilt her head towards me, "Hey, there….I wanna see those baby blues, Laxxy…Can't do that if you're not looking at me."

She chuckles. "Yeah, I guess not." She smiles at me, our lips inches apart. I can feel her breath on my lips as she continues to glance down at them. I lean in and close the gap, pressing my lips to hers. She hesitates slightly, before reacting and moving her lips against mine, her grip around my waist tightening. We pull away after a few minutes. She's a pretty good kisser for a first timer…I definitely felt more than what I feel for the others I've kissed.

I smile. "Well, there's your first kiss, hun." She blushes slightly, which is a sight because normally she doesn't do the whole blushing thing.

She murmurs into my neck, "Promise me, you won't bring anyone else here Ash…It's our spot…and the spot of our first kiss…"

"I promise, Al. I promise, I won't." I run a hand through her hair, smiling softly. "So, was this what you wanted to tell me?"

Her eyes dull and she looks to the ground. "Uh…no..actually.."

"Al...Alex…what is it?" She looks up at me with tears in her eyes. What else could there possibly be?

"I'm moving…"
