Nat's POV

-I like this place, no one comes here- James said.

Some weeks later we were walking back home from school, we took our usual coffee and, since aunt Lily gave me permission to explore the city, James and I could spend more time together.

That day we were in a small hidden park in our neighbourhood and James was right, there wasn't anyone.

-How was your day?- he asked -Boring classes?-.

I nodded, drinking my coffee.

We sat on a bench, the leaves falling around us, sign that fall was starting.

I started shivering and James arm went around my body, pulling me closer to him.

He smiled and we look at each other: I lost in his eyes and it was like we were alone, there wasn't anyone around us, there weren't the city noises.

Before I knew he kissed me. I should have run away, never see him again, but what I did was kissing him back.

His warm lips were against my cold ones, his hands on my cheecks and I quickly felt his tounge on my lips.

The kiss went more deep and we divided only when we needed to breathe but both of us didn't want to.

I put my hand on his cheek, my forehead against his.

-James...- I whispered.

He smiled, giving me another quick kiss.

-You finally said something- he said.

-I'm sorry it took long- I whispered.

We kissed again, this time it was sweet and slow, his arms around my body.

I didn't want it to end but eventually I had to go back home.

-We should keep this secret- James said and I nodded.

James left me and I walked the last meters alone; when I entered the house I found Steve and his friends in the living room.

-Hey Nat! You are finally back!- Steve said I smiled and all his friends said hi too.

I approached, smiling.

-Sorry, I was enjoying the city- I said.

-You... You talked!- Steve said.

-I want to apologize that it took a lot- I said lowering my head.

-Are you kidding? You needed your time and we are all happy that you are speaking again!- Steve said and all his friends nodded.

-We should celebrate!- Tony said.

-We are not going to have a party- Wanda said punching him on his shoulder and Tony sighed.

We all laughed.

That night I was in my room, I had some chapter to finish to study, when I received a text from James.

It was all so bad but so good! I was feeling something for James, I was sure but I couldn't tell anyone and I was sure that Steve would have been very mad at me.

And there was a little voice in my head that was warning me, telling me that James wasn't who I thought he was.
