Chapter 9 holding hands

Ash and May danced a little while longer. Then they rested on the bench again for a while. When the festival was over they walked back to Ash's house hand in hand. The sky was clear and the weather was warm; the moon was shining and the crickets were chirping. When they arrived at Ash's house they decided to sit down on the swing on his front porch. They sat there peacefully enjoying the silence and each other's company. Finally May spoke.

"Thanks for the date Ash. I had a great time",

He smiled.

"You're welcome", he said and gazed into her eyes as she peered into his. Their hands separated as they moved closer towards each other till their lips finally met. They kissed softly yet tenderly. May wrapped her arms around his neck as he wrapped his arms around her waist as they kissed passionately. Once separated, May looked at his eyes again and rested her head on his lap. He ran his fingers through her hair as she hummed slightly. May extended her hand and laced it into his. They lay there for a while holding each other's hands. Before long, their eyelids began to feel heavy and they slowly fell asleep cuddled in each other's arms…

The next morning they woke up at sunrise. They shared a good morning kiss and sat up. They would spend the next few hours sitting there holding hands until Ash's mother called them to breakfast. Even while eating they held hands under the table. They also held hands while watching TV, when she fell asleep on the couch, during lunch and also during dinner. It was only when it was time to go to sleep that their hands separated. They gave each other a goodnight kiss and fell into a deep and peaceful slumber…

To be continued…

Well that's it. Sorry it was so short. There wasn't much I could do with the holding hands subject so I made what I could of it. Hopefully the next chapter will be longer. Anyway I hope you like it and if you would leave a review id greatly appreciate it.

Peace out everyone
