ean’s lips were gently plush against mine, and I knew he had been eager to kiss me for a while by the way he kept looking at my lips. But for some reason, all he did was kiss me softly without even parting my lips-a simple peck. He was getting just a taste. When he slowly and painfully pulled himself away from me, he left the intoxicating taste of himself dancing on my lips. He didn’t say anything, but he did smile. If I didn’t know any better, I’d swear his eyes were brightening as we sat there, looking at each other. He forced himself to look away from me and out through the waterfall. I didn’t realize it had gotten late. The sun was already going down. He turned back to me with irritation on his face, as if cursing whoever was responsible for the darkness.
“I better get you home,” Dean said.
“Yeah.” I regrettably agreed. “I haven’t seen my mom since this morning. She’s probably worried.” I didn’t want to leave. I could have stayed here forever with him. And if he was a vampire, I wouldn’t care at this point.
Dean stood up and walked to the edge before the waterfall. Him standing against the pouring water was truly a sight to see-he looked like he stepped into a painting. As he turned to face my way, he spread his arms out in a flying motion and started leaning backwards. Backwards!
“What are you doing? Are you crazy?!” I yelled.
Dean gave me a dangerous grin and closed his eyes before he fell out of my sight. I crawled to the edge to peer down at him, but saw only the crystal liquid cascading below me. Then, he popped out of the pool at the bottom.
I exhaled in relief.
“Jump!” Dean dared me.
“Yeah, and how about I do a three sixty.” Sarcasm escaped me. “I’m climbing down.” I said. I crawled over to where we had climbed up. It was steeper then I had remembered. I was sure to slip and hit myself against the rocks. I looked back at Dean. He shrugged his shoulders and held out his arms in front of him. For years, Dean had been this mysterious, scary guy, but right now, at this very moment…there was nothing scary at all about him. He was adorable as he pleaded with his face for me to join him. And I couldn’t believe that I was the girl he was with right now. I was the girl he had chosen to bring to this magical place. And I was the girl that he just kissed.
I had to choose between climbing down the slippery rocks or jumping into his arms. Naturally, I chose his arms. I stood close to the edge looking down at what I thought was my death. But, somehow, I ignored the water and saw only him. He looked like a dark angel on a cloud of mist, holding his arms out to me. I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply.
