~ "Isn't this view beautiful?" Kimber asked JC. "It is really gorgeous, but it doesn't compare to you," He replied, rubbing her soft cheek with his hand as she blushed at his compliment. They turned to face each other. JC put one of his strong arms around her waist, the other pushing her brown hair out of her eyes and holding her delicate face. Kimberly's light brown eyes met his deep blue ones as she ran her fingers through the back of his hair. Just then their lips met. Lightly at first, just like the breeze, but then with more passion. He lightly ran his tongue along her lower lip as she opened her mouth a little. He slid his tongue inside and memorized the inside of her mouth.
"Hey wait up!! Lance yelled out to Katy, who was ahead of him on the trail. "Oh all right slow poke!!" She replied as she slowed to let him catch up. "Your a pretty good rider." "Thanks. My uncle used to bring me here all the time to ride the horses. There is a little creek up ahead, we should stop and let the horses get a drink." "Ok, they look like they could use one," he said. They get off the horses and tie them to a branch near the water so the horses could get a drink and go stand by a tree that is close by. "Wow the weather is beautiful around here," Lance remarked. "Yes, it is, I love it here in this season," Katy answered as they look around them. "I can see why...i's beautiful, just like you" He said, looking at her as he finished. "Uhh...umm." Katy was speechless as she turned a little pink in color. "Katy I like you...I like you a lot," He said as he grabbed her hand. "I like you a lot too Lance." "In fact to be perfectly honest, I've been thinking about you a lot lately, especially those 3 months before the tour, I really missed you a lot," He confessed. "I've been thinking about you a lot lately too, but I was never sure what to make of it because I never knew if you felt the same way abo.." as she gets interrupted by Lance. "But I DO!" he says as his sea green eyes meet her bright blue ones. He grabs her other hand and begins to lean closer to her, his heart racing just as fast as hers, just as his lips are millimeters from hers they hear a voice: "How do you fine folks like this beautiful day?" They looked up to see a park ranger stand a just up the hill. They just turned red and started to chat with him.
They all met at the entrance to the park and left to back the G-Ma's house. Once they got there, she came running out to see Katy and her friends. "Katy!! Its good to see you!!" She yelled as she hugged her granddaughter. "I missed you to Mamzie!!"
Katy did the introductions once they were inside. G-ma fixed lunch for everyone, it was good, everyone enjoyed a home cooked meal for a change, especially Joey and his stomach. "What are you guys gonna do now that lunch is over?" Mamzie asked "You gonna go play soccer in the yard like you used to when you'd come up here?" "Is that ok with everybody?" Katy asked. "Sure!!" They all agreed as Katy led them out he door. They were playing girls against guys, at the moment the girls were winning. "Another point for us!!" Brandi yelled as she kicked the ball past Chris. "I think we need a new goalie," Joey suggested. "How bout you?" Chris asked. "Ok. Fine with me," He replied as they traded places. "Would somebody just block their shots!!!"Justin yelled. "Aw, are you sore for getting beaten by a girl twice in one day?"Brandi teased. "What?!?" They all exclaimed curiously. "I thought you said that you won your all race today?" Kimberly asked. "Well,, no, not exactly," Justin replied looking down running his hands through his curls. "Yah, I beat him by 8 seconds!!" Brandi yelled as she received the next kickoff. This made Justin want to get the ball from her all the more, so he went for it, and in the process, knocked her down and fell on top of her. "Opps, sorry!" Justin remarked, a little to sarcastically, not getting off of her. "Owie, that hurt. Your gonna pay" She said, trying to squirm her way out from under him, but not being successful. Justin looked into her eyes as she quit squirming, returning his gaze, he leaned over and kissed her on the lips. "Huh hum!" Katy interrupted them, "Uh, my Grandma can see you two out the window from here, do you mind?" "Oh sorry," they said as Justin helped her up. "Was that payment enough?" Justin asked Brandi in her ear. "For now," she replied with a sly grin on her face. Just then, Chris yelled "NOW" after he did that, the guys picked the girls up and headed towards the pool. They tried to throw them in, but with their momentum from running, they each fell in too. "Man this water is freezing!!" Jc yelled as he jumped back out of the pool with the others close behind. "What is going on here?" Katy's grandma asked in her stern voice as she came out of the house to see what the commotion was about. "It is to late to be getting in the pool, and in your clothes? Well, you all can't come in the house like that and the dryer is being fixed, so I guess you'll just have to stay outside and build a fire so you can dry off without catching cold." (it was about 7:00 and getting dark and cooler) The girls except for Katy went with Grannie to get towels and some marshmallows, while Katy took the guys to the shed to get some wood for the fire. After the fire was lit they all gathered around trying to get warm. It was pretty chilly and they were still pretty wet. They got some old hangers and unfolded them to roast marshmallows. "These are pretty good." exclaimed Joey as he shoved 3 into his mouth at once.
"You think everything is good," Justin joked as he shoved 2 in his own mouth. Chris held up his hand, it was covered with marshmallow goo. "Eww That is gross!!!" Cheryl exclaimed. Just then Christ wiped it on her mouth and nose. "Marshmallow fight!!!!!!!" Joey yelled as they all started to get goo on each other. "This means WAR!!!!!" Brandi yelled, heading for Justin. After about 10 min of this, they discovered that the bag was empty. They used the towels to get most of it off, but after a while they started kissing it of each others faces (each couple respectively) except for Lance and Katy. Lance looked around and saw her standing back at a distance. He went to go check on her. "Is something wrong?" He asked. "I don't know why but, I was just thinking about "the Psycho". This was always a place I could feel safe at, and even now it isn't helping much. I just have this feeling that something bad is gonna happen, more than just the notes, and it scares me.," she confessed. He took the towel he was holding and reached up wiped a bit of marshmallow that he had put on her nose off, as she giggled a little. He dropped the towel put his strong arms around her waist, pulling her closer to him. He looked deep into her eyes, for the second time that day, mesmerized by how they just seemed to be a window into her soul. He took his finger and lifted her chin as he bent down towards her, and as gently as possible he put his lips to hers, like she was a porcelain doll and could break at the slightest touch, and kissed her. Then she put her arms around his neck and pulled him closer to her. She whispered to him, "for the first time since this whole thing started I finally feel safe." He just pulled her closer and hugged her till they heard Jake come out of the house and yell that it was time to go back to the city.
Katy hugged her grandma bye and everyone thanked her for the hospitality as they drove away. Every one slept on the way back, except for Katy, she just had this feeling that something bad was gonna happen.......
