My destructive secret affair

Planting the seed

We all decided to head down to the lake after dinner to make a bonfire and roast some marshmallows. I had been saving a special place in my tummy for those damn marshmallows. I sat down next to the fire, warming up nicely after swimming, while roasting 3 marshmallows on my stick because you know one is never enough! Everyone was laughing while catching up on the gossip they've missed out on for the past 4 years, there was such an nostalgic atmosphere.

I got up and decided to go for a walk along the pathway next to the lake. It was dimly lit with oil lanterns that highlighted the beautiful tall reeds next to the walk way, I could barely see the bonfire from where I was. I was enjoying the quiet until I heard footsteps and I suddenly felt nervous. I looked around but couldn't see anyone. Maybe I am just imagining things? I decided to keep walking until I heard them again but this time when I turned around I saw Luke standing there with sweats and a hoodie on with his wet hair glistening. "You scared me!" I whisper shouted at him. "You're such a baby." he said teasingly. 

He walked up to me and I started feeling slightly nervous with my heart beating rapidly. "Relax, Kat. Let's go for a walk" he said ,noticing my nerves, as he walked passed me. I really shouldn't but I felt too scared to be alone now so I decided what the heck I should just follow him. We continued walking for awhile before he came to a stop at the end of the pathway. We were now on the other side of the lake far away from the bonfire. "The sky looks pretty tonight" I said while looking up at the moon. 

"Kat, I want to ask you something" he said quietly. "Hmmm?" I said, not looking down from the sky. "Please let me kiss you?" he whispered. Shocked, I turned around to see his face inches away from mine. I could feel his hot breath on my face. I swallowed hard not knowing what to say. He took my silence as a 'yes' and inched closer. I felt the warmth of his hands on my face and closed my eyes. His lips gently brushed against mine and after what felt like an eternity he pulled away still cupping my face between his hands while searching my eyes for something

"Come on, we should get back before they start looking for us.." he frowned while grabbed my hand and pulling me along the pathway. 

What just happened? Is he drunk? I didn't smell alcohol? I thought, as we walked in silence back to the bonfire. He told me to go back to the bonfire before he did so I slowly stumbled back to where I was sitting before, still confused about what just happened.
