The Secret Place
The car engine stopped and he walked around and opened my door and took my hand. His palm was warm against mine. I stepped out of the car and could hear waves in the distant. I could smell the ocean breeze. Aaron led me forward he told me to take my shoes off and I did. My toes touched the cool sand as I took my shoes off. He led me closer to the water. “Ok, You can open your eyes now, Bella” He told me. I felt as If I was looking at a painting. Beautiful colors lit up the sky vibrantly, the ocean’s beautiful blue water swaying in various directions. “Aaron… It’s… beautiful!” I said breathelessly. “I know..” I felt his eyes on me again. I turned to face him. Our faces were only a foot away. He stared at me intently and I felt like I was in a fairytale. He glanced at my lips and slowly got closer to me. I looked down at the sand, thoughts swirling through my mind. What will Annie think if I do this? Will Blake hurt him? Is this really happening? I felt a warm hand gently lift my chin.
