QUICK SUMMARY: Natalie makes her first move.

"Temptation"

Hours later...

Right after work, Hunter took Natalie around as he was told to. The two went out for a walk, look through different shops, visited some recreational parks, and landed on the beach. Hunter was wearing rolled up khakis with a loose crimson shirt as Natalie wore a simple light dress. The two were walking in the beach, talking and getting acquaintance with one another like old times.

"Thanks for doing this, Hunter." Natalie smiles as she locks arms with him. "I'm glad you took the time to show me around." 

Hunter smirks, putting his hands into his pockets. "No problem. It was actually Tori's idea."

Natalie didn't care. She quickly hid her face and felt disgusted at the sound of her name. "Oh...well that's very nice of her." She rolls her eyes without him seeing. "I'm curious...how did you two meet?" Natalie brings up the subject in curiosity.

Hunter bit his lip. "Well uhh..." He lets out a small chuckle. "It's a long story actually."

"Oh come on." She flushes her flirty eyes. "It's a long beach. We got time."

Hunter felt unsure about this, for he was afraid that the whole power ranger thing will slip out. He scratches the back of his head nervously as they kept walking. "Well, Dustin introduced me to Tori."

"Uh huh..." Natalie nods, expecting more to come out from his mouth.

"And we had some problems."

"Ohh..." She suddenly became interested. "What kind of problems?"

Hunter shrugs. "Well umm...we were once enemies, then as soon as I found out the truth, we started working as a team...becoming good friends...and now we're together." He stares at the sandy grounds and blushes. "Which I never thought of ever happening in a lifetime, but I'm glad it did."

She smiles at him in awed. "How cute!" Natalie pokes his red cheeks. "You must really love her."

"Yeah." Hunter grins shyly. "Very much."

She pursed her lips. "Just wondering...Do you love her as much as you loved me back then?" Natalie asks all of a sudden.

He looks down at her and sighs. "My love for Tori is different compared to my love for you."

She arches her brow. "How so, Hunter?"

"Well..." He looks up and groans. "It's hard to explain really. I just feel what Tori and me have is real and I don't want to ruin it what so ever. You and I were never meant to be that's all. It's clear to both of us. And honestly, I didn't think what we have was really love. You just happen to be my first girlfriend…and the first girl I've ever had deep feelings for." Natalie looks down and sighs. She certainly didn't want to hear anymore. Hunter suddenly felt sorry as he lifts her chin up and smiles. "Hey. I'm sure you'll find someone better than me."

"I understand. But hey...things can change, right?" She says positively. "I mean...let's say you weren't with Tori at the moment..." Natalie pauses for a second as the two stopped and come face to face with each other. "Would you still take a chance on us?"

Hunter looks down and remained silent, for he had no idea how to respond to that without hurting her. He sighs deeply and nods his head in dismay, leaving Natalie all upset. "No." Hunter replies in a whisper. "Not after what happened."

She looks away and pursed her lips. "Would this change your mind?" Natalie slowly puts her hand behind his neck and pulls him in closer for a kiss. The two lock lips as Hunter stares right into her eyes in shock. Seconds later, an image of Tori appears as he closes his eyes and began kissing her passionately to whom he thought was Tori.

Momentarily, Dustin came into the scene on his motorbike and caught the two kissing from a cliff, overseeing the view of the beach. "What the..." He slowly opens his mouth and rubs his eyes, hoping that he was dreaming or just seeing things. "I don't believe this." Dustin opens them once again and finds the two making out. The goofball nods his head in dismay. I can't believe you, Hunter. He thought to himself, plastering a shocking, and yet, appalling look on his face. "I've seen enough." He turns his bike around and rides away.

Long seconds have passed as Hunter slowly opens his eyes and finds himself kissing Natalie instead of Tori. He immediately stops and pulls away from the kiss. "Oh my God." He began breathing heavily.

Natalie touches her lips and smiles. "Wow..." She gasps in satisfaction. "That was some kiss eh?"

"That wasn't supposed to happen!" Hunter exclaims anxiously. "I swear I thought you were Tori for a moment there!"

She giggles. "Well obviously not."

"Oh my God." He covers his face and brushes his hair back, freaking out. "How am I going to tell Tori?! She'll flip!"

"No one will find out." Natalie stated reassuringly. "This is between you and me only." She smiles, touching his nose.

"Look, being dishonest with Tori is the last thing I want to do." He replies seriously. "I'll tell her exactly what happened."

"Tell her what?" Natalie chuckles. "That you thought I was Tori and all of a sudden started making out with me?"

Hunter sighs. "Well...yeah."

"And you think she'll forgive you just like that?" She asks with her arms crossed.

"I don't know." He groans. "But at least I'm being honest with her, right?"

Natalie shrugs as she blew strands of her hair. "Whatever. It'll take a miracle in order for that to happen."

Hunter squints at her. "What? So you think I should just forget about telling her?"

"Well…" She looks around till her eyes were fixed on him. "You don't want to lose her now do you?"

"Of course not. I'll do anything." He cries.

"Then forget that it ever happened!" Natalie exclaims as Hunter stop to think for a bit.

"You know… the kiss didn't mean anything." He adds sharply. Natalie looks up at him, feeling a bit hurt. Maybe not to you, but it sure meant a lot to me, she thought. "And what were you thinking?!" Hunter asks abruptly. "You can't just kiss me like that. I have a girlfriend!"

"Sorry..." Natalie apologizes with a frown. "I just got carried away that's all..." She displays her *I'm not so innocent look * with her finger in her mouth.

Hunter sighs deeply and rubs his eyes. "It's okay. Look, let me take you home and pretend none of this ever happened okay?"

She smiles sweetly at him. "Fine by me." You can take me home anytime, she thought. Anytime.

NOTE: Okay, hate me all you want! LOL. But will Dustin blab to Tori about what he saw between Natalie and Hunter? And what scheme will Natalie pull off this time when Hunter drives her home? Oooo…things are starting to heat up in Blue Bay Harbor! =]
