Chapter 25:

100k!!!!!! THANK YOU EVERYONE ♥️
—————————————————————
The first thing that caught my eye on the list was 'Picnic + lake' and I immediately chose it without reading the other stuff.

I notice the already prepared food basket on the seat behind me and get even more excited. I think today is going to be a happy day.

We've been driving for half an hour maybe brefore Stone parks his car on the side of the road and gets out. I look around at the trees and the sun and smile as I take in the smell of nature.

We walk through the woods his fingers intertwined with mine and his other hand holding the picnic basket. We arrive to our destination and I get more excited than ever as I look around.

I start running around, touching every flower I see and trying to get every butterfly to stand on my finger.

"Hey, stay close." Stone says before walking over to me and crouching on the ground, spreading open our picnic cloth.

We eat a few bites and now we're lying on the ground, my head on his lap, him propped back on his elbows, and both of us looking at the beautiful sky.

"Okay, my turn." I say to him, we're playing truth or truth, "How many girls have you kissed?" I know for sure there's no specific answer to that.

"Oh, thats impossible to answer." he says. See.

"Put a close number."

"Okay, um, like... more than a hundred, I guess." he says and my eyes go wide.

"What! Are you serious?"

"Unfortunately, yes."

"Is Cherry one of them?" I ask and regret immediately. If I'm the slightest bit jealous, he shouldn't know.

"Yes, she is. Alice, she works for me. We slept around a couple of times, but it means nothing to me." he says before he starts caressing my cheek.

"Didn't look like that to her."

"I can't deny she has a thing for me. I can get rid of her if you want." he says. I almost forgot he does that to people. He realizes my worried expression before saying "I mean fire her not kill her, princess."

I sigh, "Don't fire her. Its okay." I say, "She's no threat."

"So you are jealous." he chuckles and I slightly nudge his chest and laugh with him.

"My turn. Same question." he says.

"Two. You and someone from the nineth grade." Yep, I don't just kiss anyone.

"Who's the guy, huh?" he asks.

"Umm, I-I don't remember who..."

"Alice, who's the guy?" Jesus, is he a lie detector or something?

"Jake Carson, okay?" I sigh.

"You kissed that son of a-"

"Stone, we were kids, he was my crush, its normal. It means nothing to me too."

"Your turn." he says. Who's jealous now? "Actually, why don't we get in the watet for a bit?"

"Really?" I chuckle.

"Yeah. Just take off your dress, you can swim in your underwear, we'll dry off. Come on." he says before standing up. He can't be serious.

He slides off his shirt following his pants and shoes till he's only in his boxers. He looks so hot in the sun.

"You won't." I say.

"Come on!" he shouts before running and jumping in the water.

I laugh out loud and cover my mouth with my hand. He really did it.

I stand up and take off my shoes and dress till I'm in my white bra and panties.

I slowly walk to the lake and stand on the edge of it. I can see Stone underwater, the water is very clear, he's swimming towards me.

He appears from under the water at my feet and wipes his face, brushing his hair back.

"Are you gonna get in?"

"I don't know... is it deep?" I ask.

"Yeah a bit."

"I don't really wanna get myself wet."

He sighs, "Fine, help me out then." he says and reaches out his hand. The second I hold it he pulls me into the water and I scream.

I can't believe he dragged me into the water!

"Stone!" I shout after getting above the water and start spraying him. He's laughing so bad he's trying to catch his breath. "Not cool!" I'm laughing now too as I wipe my face.

He swims closer to me and I feel nothing but his arms wrap themselves around my legs, lift me up, and he throws me in the water again.

As I go up to the surface for the second time I swim to his laughing self and try to get him underwater.

We're both laughing as I place my hands on his shoulders, trying to pull him down, but no use, instead I'm pulling myself up.

After catching our breaths he swims over to me. We're so close now I'm focused on the bright green in his eyes, so bright from the sun. And I think he's doing the same to my blue ones.

He places both hands on my waist as we continue our staring contest. It feels as if this moment is in slow motion.

I'm taking slow breaths and it feels like he's studying me. And from the inside not out. It feels like he's reading me with his eyes. And finding out everything about me.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I softly ask.

"I love looking at you." he softly replies.

"Why?"

"You're very beautiful." he tells me and I don't say anything.

After a few seconds, "Do you like me?" he asks, which completely catches me off guard.

"I don't... dislike you."

"Are you starting to have feelings for me?" he asks, his hands still gripping my waist.

"Why would you ask me that?"

"Because you've changed."

"W-Well would it be so bad if I did, one day?" Stone is right about one thing, I've changed a lot with him. Maybe I'm starting to realize that he's a whole other person when he's with me. Maybe his dark world is what's dragging him down and making him worse and I'm the one pulling him to the surface.

"It would make my heart smile." he says before bringing his face closer to mine. "Just admit it, Alice." he whispers as he looks at my lips, licking his own. "Admit you like me."

I'm breathing heavily now. I don't know what to do. Making his heart smile is a good thing right?

I remove his hands that were attached to my waist and start swimming away, ready to get back in my clothes and dry off. But suddenly I feel nothing but Stone's fingers wrapping themselves around my ankles and quickly pulling me to him. In a matter of a second, he slams his lips onto mine.

I wrap my legs around his waist and his hands rest on my lower back as our tongues dive into each other's mouths. I don't know what gotten into me, but at this exact moment, I think kissing Stone is the right thing to do.

The kiss turns slow as he gets one hand to cup my cheek and I wrap my arms around his neck. He feels so soft against my mouth. The warm feeling of his breath, although destabilizing, was inviting.

He pulls me in even more as he tightly wraps both arms around me, claiming my mouth again, hungry and intense.

After a minute or so we pull apart, grasping for air, back in the same position of earlier, looking into each others eyes.

"W-We should start drying off now." I say and he nods, letting me go.
