"Are you taking me to a fancy, expensive place, like how they show in movies?" Kayra asked. She was going on and on about since I covered her eyes. Not that I was complaining though, I liked listening to her.

"Trust me, you'll fall for me after seeing that." Today was our first official date as a couple and I wanted it to be memorable. I had been planning it even before she'd agreed to date me.

"Really? We'll see. But all of this is a little cheesy though." I laughed when I heard her. This really is cheesy but also special. I was holding her, guiding her to our destination but the rocky path made it hard to balance ourselves. We stumbled quite a few times before the spot for today's date was visible.

I chuckled after Kayra said, "Will we reach the destination as a whole or did you deliberately plan this for me to break my leg?"

"Don't worry, we're here in one piece." I opened the ribbon from over her eyes. It took her a second to adjust to the light but when she did, her eyes widened. She scanned her surroundings and a small smile bloomed on her pretty lips.

Orange and pink hues of setting sun reflecting on the thin sheet of snow.  Fairy lights tied from one tree to another, shining above our heads. Candles flickering and exuding a relaxing fragrance. Her spot with a little bit of my touch.

"And here I thought you were rich." Kayra smiled. She touched the swing which I decorated with the fairy lights. She was impressed, I knew. After all, this was the kind of thing she liked. Not expensive but thoughtful. No extravagance, just understanding. Meaningful.

I pushed the wooden plank lightly, helping her swing so that she could relax and enjoy her surroundings. "Why here?" She turned to look at me.

Instead of answering, I sat beside her. She continued to look at me for an answer, "This place holds meaning, that's why."

"What meaning?" Her eyes sparkled with curiosity, as she leaned closer. Her eyes were so perfectly pretty, like dark pools of chocolate. Trust me, her eyes do me things that I am not very proud to say out loud.

"That is for another day." I looked away, smiling to myself and maybe blushing a little too. This place was as special to me as it was to Kayra.

"Seriously you're such a mood killer. But since when did you start finding meaning in things?" She groaned and leaned back, away from me.

"Ever since I started liking you." There it was again. The racing heartbeat, the expanding pupils and pink coloring her cheeks. Seeing her stop like that makes me all the same as her.

Her lips did appear more and more kissable everytime I looked at them. Plump and red. Her gaze got stuck on my lips before she brought it to my eyes. Our hearts beat in synchronization and hot breaths tingled on our cheeks.

I didn't know when I was already holding her waist and kissing her like I was thirsty and she was my only source of water. My urge to keep and have her all for myself deepened and so did the kiss. She moaned softly when I sucked on her lower lip. My hand held her neck firmly and the other caressed her waist and slid lower and lower until her thighs. She gasped when I slid my hand between her thighs. 

I was already up when we detached our lips. I felt hot and her body was equally burning. I brought my hand which was previously on her thighs to her shoulder. Her uneven breaths, smudged lipstick and the way she looked up at me with her glossy big eyes were all turning me on.
"Can I ?"

Our faces just inches apart as my eyes locked into hers and after a second she broke eye contact. We didn't separate from each other but it still felt cold. I got the meaning, she didn't want to go further. As much as I wanted to do it, I respected her consent.

I didn't ask her anything. Instead she held my hand and pressed her lips together, "It's public indecency and moreover it'll be uncomfortable." She was nervous, I could tell but I didn't press her. Moreover, she was right, anyone could walk in on us here even though the possibility was low. This place was secluded and on weekends it's rare for people to even be on campus.

"You're right. We could've committed an offense." I smiled and tried to lighten the mood. I can't let a little disapproval ruin our precious first date. It's fine if she doesn't want to do it and I respect her decisions. And the smile she returned me was worth it.

"So, what do you have planned next?"

"I thought this would be it."

"What?" She was shocked. "I mean all this is already enough but-"

"Look at the dread on your face. Relax, there is something." I laughed and grabbed her hand. On the other side of the maple tree, I laid a few blankets along with pillows. Opposite to that was a hanging white sheet which would be used as a screen.

Kayra looked over everything and she wasn't surprised nor she faked it. But her body relaxed and eyes gleamed. She was a homebody and I figured she'd enjoy herself if she felt like home. But we couldn't do this at either of our homes, so a projector would do.

I pulled her down with me and she sat beside me a little stiff. Was she awkward? She was cute when she suddenly behaved like we hadn't already held each other naked. I chuckled and draped my arm around her shoulders and pulled her in.

Kayra leaned into my side and rested her head on my chest, and I felt the warmth of our bodies being shared. I was content as long as she was in my arms. "Are we supposed to watch the white sheet? Though a movie would've been better."

I laughed at her comment, "Have some patience, Kay. We've got the whole evening."
