April asked me if I will be attending the bonfire night which is arranged in the campus twice a year by it's own students. I agreed to tag along with her for a little time.

It was almost 9:00 when April called me to know if I was ready. Looking at myself in the mirror I thought I was looking perfectly casual for a bonfire night.

I was wearing a full sleeves black T-shirt paired with light blue jeans and white shoes below. Completely satisfied with my look, I took my red muffler along and wore it around my neck quickly before leaving for the lawn where April was waiting.

It was a small walk to the place where the bonfire was being held. I wanted to ask April if she had any knowledge if the 6-pack was going to be there.

Well, to be honest after April told me that Rebekah deserves a chance I am desperately waiting to have a word with her. As soon as we reached the bonfire sight, my eyes furiously searched for her among the already crowded place.

I caught hold of the 6-pack sitting on one of the furthest corners with beer bottles in their hand but she wasn't there. I looked around in a hope to find her somewhere near but I knew it was useless as they all have a habit to stick together.

Utterly dejected, I took a seat next to April on one of the seats with April's friends. She introduced me to them but I was so consumed by my ownself that I didn't even remember their names right after the small know-how.

April was again and again turning around to get a peek of Rey but she finally stopped when they shared a glance and Rey acknowledged her existence by waving at her. I was looking at the bright fire burning with such compassion consuming the wood which it uses to stay alive.

I was feeling vulnerable by now. The slow music and the couples dancing in front of us didn't help me to get out of my trance state.

I was picking the thread on one of my sleeves when I heard Rey screaming, "Hey look Becca's here." My eyes lit up and as soon as I looked up our eyes met.

She was not as happy as she usually seemed and I assumed I was the reason for it. She was looking at me with a look that showed me how helpless she felt.

I passed her a small smile and I knew that she was completely shocked with it. She was looking so pretty in a white wollen sweater that she wore along with skin fit black jeans.

When she went to the table to grab a beer bottle I made my way towards her. "Hey", I said awkwardly while putting my hands in my pockets.

"Hi", she said while opening the beer bottle still not looking at me. "I am sorry", I replied while looking at the ground.

"You don't need to be. You were right. I should stay away from you", she said while biting her lower lip. I turned her to face me and said, "I still don't know whose fault it was the previous night. But I shouldn't have been so rude to you. It is clearly not justifiable. So let's start fresh. No games and no mockery."

Her face shimmered with happiness and she just nodded to my offer. We sat together on one of the benches making small talks about the upcoming events of the college campus wherein I came to know that the college will be organizing a trek real soon and it is compulsory as we get marks for our participation.

Looking at the couples dancing together, Rebekah asked me if I would like to dance with her. I just laughed stupidly after reminiscing the events of last night.

I agreed as I wanted to shake a leg with her from the very moment the music started. The music was slow so I rested both my hands on either side of her waist while she entangled hers around my neck.

I could smell her cranberry flavoured breath from the sip she took from my juice and commented that it wasn't that bad. We looked at each other intently and then she just rested her head on my chest.

We swayed slowly along with the music irrespective of the looks that we were getting from the people around. It suddenly didn't matter to me.

I was happy with her so close to me. My heart felt at home.

Suddenly the music was replaced by rock beats and so we were joined by everyone else.

I was shocked to see Rebekah and Rex together at the party. When Rebekah refused to come to the bonfire night when asked by Austin I knew that her small banter with Rex was the reason for her denial.

I was somewhat delighted to have achieved my first success in Mission "Destroy Rebakah." But then she made a sudden entry at the party.

I don't know what changed her mind. My blood was boiling when I saw them together laughing and having the night of their lifes. And to add to my miserability, they got on the dance floors and danced together.

I was busy dancing when Rebekah held my hand and dragged me out of the crowd. "Where are we going?", I said while running with her towards her car.

"To my favourite place. The place where I can be my ownself", she said while looking back at me. We got in the car and she was continuously driving for the next 20 minutes.

She stopped at a place in the middle of nowhere. She looked at me and chuckled, "You afraid?"

I shrugged indifferently to show it didn't really matter but to be honest I was. It was almost 12 and the place was dark with no lamp lights.

But I could hear the waves nearby. "Let's go then", she said while holding my hand.

We made our way through the thick bushes before we finally reached a clearing. This place was an extension of the woods that we cleared.

I could see a small lake in my front. But what caught my eye were the thousands of fireflies right in front of us.

"Wow", I muttered. I couldn't take my eyes off the beautiful waterscape in front of me.

When I looked at her, she was already looking at me. "How did you find this place?", I asked her to make the situation a bit less awkward.

She went near the water and bent down to touch those soft waters with her fingers. "It was that time when I had just came to Seattle from London. I missed my mom and nothing seemed right. I was driving one day when I lost track of the destination and ended up right where we parked my car. I could hear the waves from there and the next thing I knew was I was standing here completely in awe of this place. I used to come here more and more often and soon this place became my favourite."

I was just looking at the scenery in front of us in complete adoration when Rebekah waved her hand in front of me. "Come here", she said while sitting on one of the rocks resting on the grass.

I went next to her adjusting myself on one of the smaller rocks. She folded her jeans at the bottom and signalled me to do the same.

"Are you ready?", she asked me while holding my hand. I nodded not sure what to say.

She took my hands and counted to three. With the third count out of her mouth, she pushed her legs in the water and I imitated her.

The cold water got me heebie-jeebie. I quickly left my feet off the water but she pushed it down inside.

"Just wait it will be fine", she said while I tried to relax. I could feel the smaller fishes biting on my skin which made me laugh.

"Your smile is beautiful Rex", she said while her blue eyes sparkled on effect of the dim light of the moon falling on them. "Not more than you", I said as the words just came out of my stupid mouth.

I looked at my feet while I adjusted my glasses to set them intact on my nose. I was totally embarrassed.

She just laughed and said, "See I told you on day 1 itself that you like me and you are distracted by me." I stick my tongue out and before she could even realize I threw some cold water on her face.

"What the hell", she said while wiping off the water from her face. "You want to do this Rex? Than you have to do it my way", and before she could complete the statement she pushed me in the water.

I grinned at her and pulled her leg just to catch her in time before she gets hurt. She was now in my arms, completely wet while both of us were laughing like a madman.

He was holding me tightly still I managed to stand on my toes in the water. We both were breathing heavily after our short mischief filled fun session.

Having him this close to me made me want him more. I was craving him and I couldn't control anymore.

I cupped his face and pushed myself closer to him, our bodies uniting. I laid my lips on his cheeks and kissed him while he laid his hands on my hips slightly squeezing them.

I left a chain of kisses ranging from his cheeks to his neck. I nibbled on the soft skin of his ear earning a moan from him.

I just smiled at the reaction of his body upon my touch. I was panting hard.

I wanted to taste him. As if he could read my mind, in the blink of a second he laid his lips on mine while pushing his tongue in my mouth.

I was not able to catch a glimpse of that devilishly handsome face as that tongue demanded urgency on my part. He kissed me gently, carefully but it was not gentleness that I needed, not after after all those times when my hands just wanted to grab his angel like face and kiss him hungrily, outlining every sweet feature of his face with my tongue that I was afraid would surely ditch me on contact with his.

I knotted my fists in his T-shirt pulling him harder against me. I heard his soft groan which just made me back away once to realize this was really happening before he pulled me back in his arms, his fingers now making way under my T-shirt.

There was no way I would stop later if not now. I wanted him badly and it made me so happy to see that he wanted me too.

I bit his lip before parting my lips from his. "Ouch. You are wild", he said while touching his now swollen lip.

"You bet. You haven't seen my wild side yet baby. I am sure you'll enjoy it", I said while poking his chest. "Come now, lets dry ourselves before the cold catches us", I said while grabbing his hand and climbing out of the water.

"Where is it that we are going now?", he asked me while I took him further into the winds. "Have patience my boy. I am not kidnapping you", I said while winking at him.

"What is with you calling me by all these names?" he asked me waiting patiently for an answer. "Don't pretend that you don't like to be called by such names. In fact you are enthralled to be addressed as my darling", I said with an amused face.

"Don't be too cocky", he said while he had a shy smile on his face.

After walking for five minutes we reached to a clearing again. There was a big treehouse in front of me.

It was surrounded by mangroves and the vines framed it adding to it's exquisite beauty. It was a small treehouse but the serene surroundings definitely proved it to be place of peace from the city life.

"What the hell?", I muttered. She looked at me and asked with great hopes,"Do you like it?"

"Are you kidding me? Obviously I like it. Did you built it?", I asked her while taking a step closer to appreciate the beauty of the house. "Yes, I built this house after I discovered the lake side place. Some children who used to play near the lake helped me out with it. Now come let's go up", she said while leading my way.
