Their lips collided. Cal could feel his heart thumping in his chest. A phenomenon he had never felt with any girl before. He felt the passion radiating from Sarah's petite body and he could feel a connection between the two of them. When they pulled apart, Sarah grabbed his hand and took him towards the river that ran through the park. She sat down next to him near to the waters edge. She took off her heels and laid back on the soft grass, her eyes shining in the moonlight. Cal laid back next to her. They watched the stars together, their heads gently touching. Cal could hear his erratic heartbeat. Sarah sat up slowly. Cal noticed and sat up too. Their legs intertwined as they shared a second passionate kiss. He adjusted his jacket around her slim shoulders. "I love you, to the moon and back, forever and ever." He said softly nuzzling her neck. She closed her eyes and pulled him close, inhaling his heavenly scent. "I love you too. I feel like all these years I've been lost, by now I've been found, by you!" She said. He stood up, picked her up and took her back to his car, she clutched her shoes by the delicate straps and pulled his jacket closer to her body. He placed her in the passenger seat of the car. Cal sped back to her apartment, suddenly all the previous fear of driving had disappeared as if by magic. He walked her back in to the warmth of her flat. She pressed the button on the answering machine. "Hi, this is Sarah, I'm probably busy at the moment, so leave us a message and I'll call you back. If I don't, I'm obviously avoiding you!" Sarah's voice giggled on the machine. "Hey Sarah, it's me, my boss is sending me back to London. Sorry, I've been back to the flat and packed my things. I'm sorry I didn't get to say goodbye, but I love you and will be back next week. Sorry!" Daniels voice explained from the machine. She pressed the button again. "Well, we're alone, and no one is going to disturb us. Let's get the champagne out." She said padding over to the fridge, she grabbed the bottle and a couple of champagne flutes. She handed the cold bottle to her new boyfriend who popped the cork open. He poured them each a glass and they toasted to their new found love. "What do you what to do now?" Cal asked with a glint in his eye. "I can think of a few things!" Sarah replied smiling. She pressed her lips to his. His hand wandered up her leg and fingered the hem of her dress. She gasped at his touch but didn't shy away as she pulled him closer.
Cal woke up the next morning on the sofa with his arm around his new love. "Morning!" She said softly curling up on his broad chest. She leant her head back and kissed him softly, the blanket around them twisted around her ankles. "Morning lovely!" Cal replied pulling her close. "Crap! Nibbles was expecting me back. I have to go!" He said pulling his clothes back on. "Come round to my place later, we'll put on a film and have a double date with Ethan and Honey." He suggested. "Sounds good. I'll be there at 5!" She responded giving him a kiss as he ran out the flat. He cursed as the sun shone in his eyes, a reminder of the alcohol he had consumed the previous evening. He didn't care, he was in love. He raced back to the flat. He opened the door and walked into the living room. "I'm home!" He called then the house as he reached the living room door. "Lex, what are you doing here? What's wrong?" He asked. She was curled up on the sofa, her eyes red and puffy as a result of the tears she had shed. She cuddled up to Ethan who had his arm protectively around her. Cal sat down next to her and held them both. "When we were at the cinema last night, Ryan kept texting someone throughout the movie. He didn't pay any attention to me I asked him who he was talking to but he got all defensive. Cal, I think he's cheating on me. I told him it was over and I left. I got in a cab and came here. He shouted after me but I didn't look back." Lexi dissolved into tears again. She burrowed her head into her eldest brothers neck. "Where were you last night?" Ethan asked. "I stayed the night with Sarah." He said by way of explanation. Both Lexi and Ethan knew what it meant so didn't press the subject any further. "Lex, if he's cheating on you, he's not worth it. He's a scumbag, he doesn't deserve your time or your tears. You've got Ethan and I and Daniel, what else could you need?" He said soothingly. He held her close as she let her emotions take over. She fell asleep on her older brothers lap breathing in his familiar scent, letting it calm her down whilst she got her thoughts in order. He called Sarah and explained the situation, they called their movie night and agreed to meet up I the week. She woke up a few hours later, still in her brothers arms. "Where's Nibbles? And Daniel?" She asked. "Ethan took Danny to the park. He needed to keep him occupied." Cal explained. He kissed her forehead. "Let's get you a cup of tea. Shall we?" He said leading her into the kitchen.
