Chapter 10: Trapped.
My eyes widened in horror.
"Blocked in? As in we can't get out?" I asked stupidly. Shay nodded. "Should we call someone?" He laughed bitterly.
"No reception."
"So we're really trapped?" I asked, the full seriousness of our situation finally sinking in.
"Yes," Shay said in a robotic, monotonous tone. "I'm so sorry Cherry, it was my idea to come in here, we should have just gone back to the house."
"It's not your fault," I reassured him, trying to keep my own mounting panic in check. "Like anyone could have predicted this." I walked over to the hamper and pulled out the picnic blanket. He stared at me uncomprehendingly and I explained, "Well it looks like we're going to be here a while so we may as well get comfortable." He sighed.
"I guess."
"We'll be ok Shay, they'll find us."
"And if they don't?" he asked, fear plainly written all across his face.
"They will," I smiled at him. "And besides, we're well prepared - we have plenty of food.
"Thanks," he said.
"What for?" I asked, confused.
"For not falling apart like I did."
"Well what are girlfriend's for?"
"Oh, I can think of a few things..." he smirked. He leaned in and placed a trail of kisses down my neck. I lifted his head and placed my lips on his. He pulled me down onto the blanket on top of him, our lips never once parting. He nibbled gently on my bottom lip and I opened my mouth, my tongue darting out to meet his. Usually when we kissed, our hands stayed wrapped firmly around each other, but this time his hands started to wonder. I stiffened slightly and he started to pull away, but I quickly pushed my lips back onto his, giving him the ok to continue. His hand crept slowly up my top, giving me time to pull away if I wanted. In response, I started to remove his t-shirt. I giggled slightly as I remembered the events of the previous night. He looked at me questioningly.
"Umm...don't worry about it, I was just thinking that this was the state they found you in last night."
"Oh," he chuckled. "Oh yeah. You know, I'm feeling slightly under-dressed right now Cherry." I looked at him hesitantly. I knew what he was hinting at, but I wasn't sure if I was ready for him to do what he wanted to.
"Shay..." I started.
"Ssshhh Cherry, it's ok. I won't make you do anything you don't want to."
"It's not that I don't want to Shay...I'm just not sure I'm ready quite yet."
"I know," he smiled at me reassuringly. He then wrapped me back up in his arms and kissed me softly on the cheek.
"I love you Shay," I sighed taking his hand in my own, and sinking slowly into a troubled sleep.
Sorry for the short and slightly mediocre chapter, I got back from holiday yesterday and felt awful about leaving you all on a cliffhanger so I decided to try and force out a chapter for you. I hope you like it...and review.
