Wow! I can't believe that I got 9 reviews for chapter 4! Thanks guyz! Well, hope you all will like this new update. ;) Maybe it won't be really good, or it might, but either way, show what you think on a REVIEW! You can give me a flame (I understand), it's a way for somebody to 'correct' someone else's mistakes. But just LEAVE ME A REVIEW! (lolz ENJOY! HAPPY READING!) ;)

"Wow……………" Bradin breathed, shocked at what he was seeing. "Ha, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be staring at this!" Lin Lee laughed, knowing that she was just as surprised as Bradin was.

A beautiful river with gentle flowing water was in front of them, and it seemed as if it had the appearance to show up on one of those 'perfect vacation spots' commercials. The water was as clear as water in you're water bottle, and it looked clean. If you looked closer, you might even notice that smooth flat stones were covering the bottom like a tiled floor.

Bradin slowly dipped his hand into the water, and started leaving it there for awhile. "The waters oddly warm." he told Lin Lee. She bent down and dipped her hand in as well, following what he was doing. "If I hadn't dragged you down here, you wouldn't even be able to see all this." she pointed out, slipping her hand out.

Bradin sent her a silly grin, which scared her for a bit. "Wanna swim?" he asked her, wiping his wet hand against his jeans. She raised her eyebrows at him, shaking her head immediately. "No way!" she cried out.

He smiled, grabbing her arm steadily. Lin Lee squirmed, trying to push him away, but with no success. "Why not? You DO know how to swim, don't you?" he teased, pulling her flailing body towards him. Her toes were barely touching the ground, since she was so light and that he had the strength to lift her with just one finger.

His breath tickled her shoulder, and she could smell the scent of cinnamon shampoo in his hair. "I know how to swim!" she replied weakly, entranced by his intense green eyes. Bradin was just as shocked as she was to see her face so near. It was as if he barely noticed the VERY few space between them.

"Y-you have…………f-freckles?" he stammered, blinking immensely as he stared closely to her face. She blushed, nodding her head. Both of them just stared at each other in total silence, not even noticing the sky was already darkening into a light shade of indigo. Wow, he has amazing eyes………………. Lin Lee sighed, breathlessly.

She soon felt the space between them fill up, as Bradin's face neared hers. She closed her eyes, ignoring the doubtful feelings filling up her stomach. His lips were only just one inch away from her own, and she could even feel his warm breath against her face. Just lean in……………..but aren't we moving to fast? That thought distracted her as she opened her eyes, seeing that Bradin's were closed still.

Lin Lee ducked down her head before his lips could touch hers, despite the feelings of want clouding her head, as well as her heart.

Bradin was still leaning in, but opened his eyes confusedly after he realized he was just kissing air. "What the- Lin Lee? What's wrong?" he asked, his eyes clearly hurt. She sighed, running her fingers through her hair. "It's getting dark…………..we have to go back to camp now." she answered softly, walking towards the pathway that lead to their campsite. He followed slowly behind, not saying another word.

His eyes were brilliantly lit by the glowing orange fire, as their dancing flames were reflected like mirrors in them. Bradin felt as if his heart was bleeding, and he knew there was no way from stopping it. He rubbed his hands together, hugging onto his cotton jacket for warmth. Damn, how can bears survive in all this?

Lin Lee soon came out of their gray tent, newly dressed in sweat-pants and a tank top to sleep in. She was holding a bundle of dark blue wool fabric in her hands. "Here you go. This'll keep you warm." she handed over the blanket to him, and he took it from her thankfully. She sat down next to him on the log they were using as a seat, and stared blindly into the fire.

"How come you didn't want to kiss me?" Bradin asked, not being able to stand the angst and wait settling in him. He obviously needed a reason, and she was hopefully willing to give one to him. She flashed her eyes to him, trying her best not to look away.

"I just think we're moving to fast……………..that's all. We DID just became friends today, remember?" she told him, fearing that he would burst out in anger. To her relief, he didn't. He just nodded his head, placing his hand over hers.

"I understand. I guess we really do have to build up our friendship before we go to that level!" he replied, placing a smile on his face. But, he truthfully didn't understand. He was hurt, and was wondering why they can't try out their relationship. Lin Lee smiled, giving a nuzzle to his shoulder before standing up. She reached into her backpack, and took out a bag of marshmallows and a chocolate bar.

Bradin stared at her, confused. "What are you doing?" he asked, watching her stand on her tip-toes as she broke off two sharp sticks from tree branches. She smiled, skipping towards the blazing fire.

"Smore's stupid!" she cried out, tossing over the bag of marshmallows to him. He laughed, tearing the bag open with her help.

Hey there guyz! Well, do you think that they're going to fast? I tried to just add in some intensity to their relationship, but all the rest of the chapters won't be as dramatic. Well, SOME of them! It's for SURE that more 'moments' will be added in pretty soon. I bet all of you are going to be really surprised on whats going to happen in the ending! (grins mischievously) READ AND REVIEW!

Love lots, rei ann ;)
