Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby, you're the best

Beckett gazed out the window, it had been a few hours since his sister took off to her room with miss Victoria close behind, he decided to not interrupt the girls in their shared time. Soon enough he would have Victoria to himself once again. The thought was tantalizing. Her smell was intoxicating, her very presence was pure, sweet and sincere. She had a glow about her he couldn't resist. She was naive and oblivious to the dangers of the world, Beckett couldn't help but be intrigued by her. He knew deep inside Victoria was a wild spirit ready to be released. He needed to dig deep, get to know her better. His eyes continued to look out of the window in the living room. The sun had set and it was dark out, the stars danced along the surface of the sky now. He wondered how many of the town's people are in bed right now and contemplated on going out for a late night feed.

Without moving he could hear her foot steps from afar, she had a graceful way of moving, her steps light against the wooden floor. He continued to stare out the window as she walked around the halls until entering the living. He stood faced away from her, he didn't move.

Victoria could see him from across the room, he stood posed and tall. Ever so sure of himself, a dominate structure. "Beckett." She whispered his name.

Beckett turned around to face her at the sound of his name being called, her voice was sweet like honey, his name lingering in the space between them. His looked up to meet her eyes. Brown against brown locked together and it's as if everything had stopped. A self proclaim romance stare that's captured in time. Only to be released a moment later when her eyes avert to the floor. "I want to thank for this morning," She said taking small steps closer to him. "It was a pleasure to spend time with you," Victoria continues now an arm length away from him. His eyes linger on her lips and the look doesn't go unnoticed by Victoria. Boldy Beckett cups her cheek, "The pleasure is all mine." He whispers, staring into her eyes deeply, her skin itching for him to touch her some more.

Victoria leans up and just before his lips could get any closer she moves to settle for his cheek. Beckett's disappointed but the opportunity will present itself again. He smirks as he picks up Jadelyn's scent lingering on Victoria's lips.

Oh my...

Beckett's eyes flashed dangerously pass Victoria's shoulder as he stares at Jadelyn who just shrugs her shoulders at his knowing look. "What?" She mouths to him, a wicked grin reaching her lips.

"Victoria, your carriage is here to take you home," Jadelyn says, interrupting the tender moment. Instantly Victoria leans back and away from Beckett, "Goodnight," She whispers to him. "Goodnight Victoria," Beckett says back and then with one last look back at him Victoria leaves, giving Jadelyn one last hug before exiting the household. Leaving Jadelyn and Beckett staring at each other.

"A rose for your thoughts?" Jadelyn asks, her head turning to the side knowingly smiling at him. Smug little thing she was.

"I'm curious, do you usually spend your days corrupting young Victoria?" Beckett asks looking away from his sister.

"Corrupting? That's a rough word to be using. I'd say, challenging, I like to see how far I can push her. The more things I can get away with." Jadelyn teases, Beckett rolls his eyes, "Relax Beck, we were just kissing." Jadelyn says dismissively.

"I take it you should enjoy the time you have left with Victoria," Beckett says as he begins to walk away. Jadelyn snaps her head back to him and glares, "What is that suppose to mean?" She yells at him, though he just continues to walk out of the room.

"Beckett!" Jadelyn yells even louder after him but it's no use, her brother had already fled.

Victoria laid in bed, tucked in contemplating the days events. In such little time she had managed a lovely morning with Beckett, followed by an outrageous game of football and then there was that kiss she shared with Jadelyn. Her friend, her most beloved companion, they had shared everything in the time they've spent together, no secrets at all. Though today they would share one secret that will follow Victoria for the rest of her life. Her first kiss. She had never kissed another soul before in her life, and she couldn't help but feel the tingle that remained on her lips. Reaching with her finger tips she touched her own lips and remembered the fire in Jadelyn's eyes when they broke apart.

A pang on her window sent her into a shock as she shot up in bed. Her eyes averted to her window.

*pop*

There it went again, someone was throwing stones at her window. Pushing her blankets aside she stood up and walked over to it, her feet slow and nervous. Who would try to catch her attention at this time of day? When she reached her window she was surprised to look down at Beckett. She quickly snapped it open and leaned over the railing, "Beckett?" She called out his name, "What on earth are you doing?" She asked. Though her heart flipped on the inside.

Beckett gazed up at her from the ground up, "Come down," He says to her. Waving for her to come to him. Victoria bites her lips. "Okay, give me a moment," She calls back to him before shutting her window. She hurries to her mirror and fixes her bed hair, noticing she was only in her nickers she quickly slips on her silky white robe and then heads out of her room. She took careful steps, not wanting to wake her parents or her obnoxious nanny. Once down stairs she hurries out of the front door, finally outside she speeds to her backyard. In her run she felt a pair of arms snake around her waist and pull up against the wall of her house. Astounded she comes face to face with Beckett. "Beckett," Victoria whispers, "What are you doing here?"

"I don't know," He whispers as he nuzzles her cheek, "I missed you I suppose." He says to her. Her hand reaches up to cup his cheek, "And you couldn't have possibly waited until tomorrow morning?" She teases him. Though she would never admit to him that it thrilled her to the bone that he just had to see her. It made her feel important.

"Come," He says taking her hand.

"Where are you taking me?" She asks as they walk across the open grass field. Her eyes darting to the dark forest ahead. She stops, pulling her hand back. "There's no way I'm going in there this late at night," She says.

Beckett stops and looks back at her before walking over to her and resting his hands on her shoulder, "Do you believe that I'd ever let anything bad happen to you?" He asked her. She looked up to his eyes, nervous she shakes her head, "No, of course not."

"Then trust me when I say nothing bad will happen to you as long as you're with me," He tells her, ripping off a piece of his shirt he then turns her around. "What are you doing?" Victoria asks.

"Victoria, trust me." He says to her.

"Okay." She says to him as he pulls the fabric over her eyes and ties a knot, now she really couldn't see a thing. Beckett takes her hand and pulls it up to his lips. "Sweet Victoria, you're with me now. Try not to fall." He says then holding her hand in his he moves forward. She walks behind him, her mind going a thousand miles.

Where was he taking her?

Soon enough after all the walking he made her do they had come to a stop. Anxiousness filled her heart, she didn't know how deep he had taken her in and she couldn't help her heart from beating wildly in her chest. "We're here," Beckett whispers behind her, holding her against his chest, one hand resting on her stomach. It was a thrilling feeling. He then whisked away the temporary blind fold from her eyes and Victoria was stunned at what she saw.

It was magical, truly beautiful. Lightning bugs filled the dark atmosphere of the forest, hundreds if not thousands surrounded them now. Lights going off and on every moment. Victoria sucked in a breath as her eyes wondered all over. "Oh my, it's beautiful." She whispers to Beckett, who stays close behind her, watching for her reactions. She felt warm inside, as if she had just entered a children's book. A fairy tale of some sort come to life. Her hand reaches behind her to nudge Beckett's chest. "Beckett, it's wonderful." Victoria laughs as he holds her close to him.

"Yes. It is," He agrees kissing her forehead.

"You'll never stop surprising me, will you?" Victoria asks him. They were now on her front porch and away from the delightful forest.

"No." He replies back to her, his eyes gleaming once again over her lips.

Victoria smiles down at him, "Don't. I like surprises." She whispers to him, "I think this is a good thing, you and me."

Beckett smiles back at her, "I agree."

Victoria smiles brighter, leaning down she kisses his cheek once more. "Goodnight." She tells him and then she leaves him stunned and wanting more on her porch.
