They paid for their meals and took off down the street, toward the nearby lake. The sun was high in the sky and it beat down on both of them but it seemed to bother Aiden more. He walked as much under the shade as he could and his sunglasses covered his gorgeous eyes.
Amira didn't know what to think of him. She had just met him today but suddenly felt her heart reaching out to him. She wanted to just listen to him talk for hours.
They got to the lake where hundreds of trees lined every walkway, making it shaded and cool. This seemed to relax Aiden a bit and he began to finally talk again.
"So, Amira, what do you like to do?" He asked her, a calm smile on his face.
"Oh, you know, the usual for someone my age. Shop, party, that kind of thing." She answered, chuckling softly.
"Ah, any unique hobbies?" He said, raising an eyebrow.
"I like to go swimming at night, relax in the hot tub and just stare at the stars until about 2 in the morning." She said, blushing.
"Really? You like the darkness?"
"I love it, so much." She admitted.
"Well then, you may be perfect." He said with a huge smile.
She blushed and looked down at the sidewalk. Nobody had ever told her that before, other than her pa of course. But this was different. Here was this gorgeous man walking beside her, and what was she supposed to do now? She didn't have much time to decide.
Aiden stopped suddenly beside her, in the dark shade of an Oak tree. He took hold of her and turned to her with a serious look on his face. He kissed the palm of her hand and smiled. He let her hand go and brought his up to her cheek. He stroked it gently and smiled.
She suddenly got butterflies as she waited patiently. He leaned closer and watched her eyes flutter shut, her lashes hitting the apples of her cheeks. He kissed her lips gently, making sure not to nip her skin with his teeth. She was warm and so sweet tasting. He pulled away.
She opened her eyes with a look of abandon and he laughed at her. She blushed and giggled in response.
"Well, that was nice." She said.
"Yes, it was." He replied genuinely.
