Chapter 16 anniversary

It's been a year since Ben and Gwen found their love for each other and became a couple. To celebrate the occasion Ben decided to take his girlfriend to the park which was her favorite place in town. The first part of the plan was to leave a letter for her in the mailbox inviting her on a date. In it he will ask her to meet him at the park at six o'clock that evening.

Ben made his way to his cousin's house and slipped the letter into the mail slot on the door and walked back home. Later that day he went to a local flower shop to buy a banquet of roses for someone very special to him. He paid for the flowers and headed for the park. When he arrived he sat on the grass next to the pond and waited for Gwen. After a few minutes she showed up wearing a blue dress and sat down beside him and kissed him briefly

"Hey big boy. How you doin'?" she asked

"I'm fine. What's up with you?"

"Oh you know, enjoying the summer vacation. A little rest here a little rest there…"

Ben smiled at her answer

"You're becoming as lazy as I am…" he teased as Gwen huffed and pushed him playfully and they both laughed

"So what are we doing at the park?" she asked

"Well I know it's your favorite place in town so I thought it would be a good place to celebrate"

"Celebrate what?"

"Our anniversary. We became a couple exactly one year ago" he said and smiled at her

After a few seconds Gwen's eyes widened in realization

"That's right, we did. You remembered! That's so sweet of you…" she leaned forwards and kissed him on the cheek. Ben reached for his side and showed her the banquet of yellow roses. Her favorite flower

"I got these for you for the occasion…"

Gwen sniffed the flowers and smiled at him

"They're beautiful… thank you Ben" she beamed and kissed him again only this time it was on the lips. Ben kissed her back passionately until they broke apart and laid on the grass together as the sun was starting to set. The weather was warm, there was a slight breeze and the ducks in the pond were quacking as they swam around in it. Before long the two cousins fell asleep in each other's arms as the afternoon turned into evening and the evening turned into night…

This was one was kinda short. Hope you like it though.

Peace out
