Chapter 2- Campfire Temptations

Junior and Kris went back to his house to get all their stuff like food, drinks, clothes, pillows, blankets, everything they would need. They were in a rush because they didn't want anyone to know they were together, let alone going somewhere private together. They were about to leave to the woods . Just then Junior yelled,"I forgot something, wait right there!"

" Hurry up Junior. If we get caught, its all because of you!" Kris yelled.

Junior ran upstairs quickly, opened his night stand, and put two small boxes into his pocket. He ran to meet Kris, who was still waiting in the same spot." Lets go."

" Did you remember everything now?" Kris asked.

" Yea babe, I already got the most important thing I need right beside me." Junior said trying to be a romantic.

" Oh Junior." Kris said in a gaga tone. " We gotta go, now. I think I heard a car door!" she said frantically.

They picked up their bags and ran into the woods. They kept traveling farther and farther until they thought they were far enough for now.

Kris was curious on how long were they gonna have to hide themselves. "Junior?" she called his name.

" Yea?" Junior answered.

" How long are we gonna stay out here?

" I don't know yet. Not to long I hope. People will obviously get the hint about us sooner or later.

When it started getting dark, Junior made a campfire with nearby wood and his matches he grabbed. Kris moved closer to him. She lent up to kiss him. They were kissing for a long time now. They shared such a passionate and full of love and sparks moment that they didn't want it to end. But it came to a screeching halt as soon as they heard what could be a wolf howl. Junior hugged Kris tight and held a long stick in the other hand, making sure nothing would happen to her. He could tell she was shaking a little bit, so he grabbed his jacket and put it around her. He kissed her and continued to keep her safe, holding her in his arms

Back At Davis Farms

" No. All I want to know is where are Junior and Kris!" Dani yelled into her phone, then hung up.

Matt was right beside her, then spoke, " Maybe she went to the bus station to leave." You could tell Matt was not only sad because Kris could've left, but if she didn't, she could be with...Junior. Since they both ran out of the wedding, he knows that Kris still loves Junior and Junior still loves Kris. Whatever chance he had with her was gone.

" She can't leave! Just when we are friends. Just when Junior finally admits that he still loves her. She can't!" Dani yelled, panicking.

" Well, maybe she did leave. Maybe Junior went with her," Matt said quietly.

" I need to go."

" Dani, where are you going?"

" Look, if my brother left with Kris, he would've taken something with him. If its gone, then he moved it or taken it with him."

" Well, what was the thing that he would've taken?" Matt asked curiously.

" Uh, Matt, I can't tell you. He trusts me, and I know where he hides things. I just can't tell you."

" Well then, go look through Junior's things." there was a pause between sentences. " Do you think he is with Kris?"

" Yes Matt, I do. I know you're still in love with her, but Junior gave up so much. He loves Kris and Kris obviously still loves him, so don't screw this up for your best friend." Dani said, making a good point.

" I'm fine Dani. Just go look. I'll try to call him."

" Good luck with that," Dani yelled because she was walking away.

" Come on Junior. Answer your phone." Matt said in an angry tone.

" What's wrong Matt?" Ken asked.

" Can't get a hold of Junior...Or Kris. We think Kris may have gone to the bus station and left town."

" We. Who's we?" Ken asked.

" Dani and me."Matt answered.

" Ah. Where is that daughter of mine anyway?"

" She went to go look in Junior's stuff. She said that if he left, especially with Kris, he might have taken something with him."

" Well . What are you waiting for? What is the thing?"

" I don't know. Dani wouldn't tell me. And it was private."

" Okay the thing is-. Dad, what are you doing here?" Dani asked, going to meet Matt.

" Am I not allowed to be at my own house?" Ken responded.

" You are, I just wasn't expecting you, that's all."

" So Dani, what is that special thing, and what is it?"Ken questioned.

" Dad, the thing is personal. He doesn't even know that I know, I hope. I went looking for him a while ago and found a drawer open. Knowing me, I looked and saw two boxes and a note card. I know now what that stuff was for. I just can't tell you."

" Well then, what about the thing?" Matt said, finally speaking .

" Its gone. So are a couple of his pillows and old duffle bags. My best bet is that he's long gone, and Kris is with him."

Ken needed a second to digest the words. Then he spoke. "Do any of you know where he could be?"

Dani and Matt both answered "No" at the same time. Dani spoke alone this time, " Junior's a big boy. He literally ran out of his own wedding for his ex girlfriend. He needs time alone. He has to come home sometime."

" Fine. Than we will wait for Junior. But I'm going to look for Kris."

" Matt, give it a rest. She's fine. Who knows. She could be with Junior. Either way, they both need space." Dani said right before she left to go home.

Back Into The Woods

" Kris, are you awake?" Junior whispered.

" Yea. I am." Kris responded.

" I hope I didn't wake you." Junior said worried that he woke her up.

" Oh no. I didn't even fall asleep."

" Than why do you sound so tired?"

" Its peaceful out here. Plus, I'm happy where I am, in your arms."

Kris closed her eyes like she was sleeping. Junior kissed her neck, then her cheek, next her lips. Kris kissed back. The kiss was so full of passion that it almost lead to something else. Kris stopped right there.

" I'm sorry, I love you and all, but we can't go further."

" Kris...I respect that, and I also expected that. What's the problem?"

Junior spoke.

" Here?" She questioned his motives.

" Sure." He dared.

" I don't want to end up pregnant. Do you want to be a father in nine months?'

" I came prepared." Junior grabbed a box of condoms out of his pocket.

" You think of everything, don't you?"

" That's my job."

Kris and Junior started to make out by the campfire. Junior took off Kris's shirt. She took off his. Kris didn't think they should do this, but she wanted to. So she didn't screw up her chances this time. She gave into her heart, and not her head. It was romantic in the woods. Junior never thought that would be possible, but he was wrong.
