(Marco's POV)

Suddenly two strong hands grabbed me and pulled me up before I hit the ground. Reed had caught me just before I hit the sand and rocks. He held my arms and looked into my eyes.

I blushed a bit and he tugged my arm, as if he wanted something. "Uhm do you need anything?" I muttered, still flustered.

He put one of his his soft hands on my jaw. "Agh! Reed stop it!" I yelled. He pulled my face to make me look at him. His eyes gazed into mine, they were almost hypnotising....

I pulled his hand away. He looked angry. "Oh is this about me seeing you dance at the river?" I chuckled. He blushed slightly and looked away. I giggled.

He pouted and walked away towards the river. "Hey, where you going?" I asked. He sat at the riverbed and prepared to swim away. I walked over to him and grabbed his arm. "Sorry about that, river-boy."

He looked at me and pulled me towards him. His face got closer to my face. His soft lips almost touching mine. I was too stunned to move. His lips touched my lips and lightly brushed them with a beautiful kiss. His tongue licked at my lips until I opened them and he explored my mouth. He tasted like coconuts and lemon-grass....

The moon glistened above us. He opened his eyes and stopped for a second.

I pulled away and ran from the beach. Leaving Reed confused. I was too flustered to continue that wonderful feeling.

Blush crossed every inch of my face as I reached the river. I ran inside the orphanage and up the stairs, being careful not too creak them.

I stayed up all night thinking about the kiss. Why did I run away? Why did I just do nothing? The next morning I decided that I should go back and see what happens.

I didn't talk to Yuni or Inni, they did try and spark conversation but could tell I wasn't in the mood.

Once I had finished my toast and juice I went straight to the river. Reed was waiting there for me.

I walked through the reeds and Reed crawled up too me and put his head on my shoulders. He fiddled with my hair a bit and then I pulled him up to me, right up too my face. He blushed slightly and smirked.

He licked my lips and I opened my mouth again letting him explore my mouth again. He sat down on my lap and wrapped his legs around me as we kissed. Then I leant backwards and lay down.
