"Are you done staring? "Kyle turns back to face me with a teasing smirk on his pretty face as he tosses his shirt to the ground leaving his well sculpted chest down to the v of his pants on display. "i know I'm gorgeous and all, but if you keep staring at me like that babe i might have to do something about it " he winks.

I turn away with an eye roll cursing myself for getting caught.

I'm currently sitting close to the edge of the cliff on the little blanket Kyle had taken from our small cabin and spread on the grass with my knees to my chest. Kyle sits back down beside me, opening up the small bag he'd been carrying with him since we got here and pulls out a take out box of i think pies.

My brows shoot up. I've been wondering why he'd been carrying that bag around but now watching him pick out all the goods one by one and set them down, i finally get it,... I think.

"you brought more food? " i ask "we just had breakfast."

"and i brought deserts "he uses his hands to point at them each before explaining. "cranberry and coconut chip pie, red velvet sponge cake, your favorite strawberry smoothie "he says picking up the drink, "i don't think it's as cold anymore but if you still want it" he hands it over to me and i can't wipe away the wide grin on my face. "plus your special pack of peanuts of course "

God i love this boy! Did i ever tell you that before? Probably, but I'm still going to say it again.

"thanks Kay "

he snorts "i probably shouldn't let you eat this much sweets considering how much you take them -" the truth is, i used to take them a lot, especially when mom used to take us to her bakery every day, Kyle and i would raid the whole place and hide at the back while glunching down the whole store. or rather i would. He was just a chocolate freak. But since the bakery got shut down the only thing I've been taking are my regular peanuts and gummy bears. "-but i figured, why not spoil you a little just for one day? People don't get diabetes in a matter of a day right? "

I shrug dipping a fork into the cranberry and coconut chip pie, holding back a moan. Oh, this is heavenly.

"what about you? " every thing laied on the blankets are all my sweets. The boy hates peanuts and cranberry.

He grins at me and pulls out his double chocolate cake with raisins "i never come unprepared. "

I chuckle lightly, taking the last sip of my smoothie.

It doesn't take long till we are both done filling our stomachs with excess sugar that I'm very sure would send us to the loo later in the day.

Kyle jumps to his feet and pulls down his pants leaving him in nothing but his plain black boxers. "come here " he motions for me to come with his hands.

"huh? " i eye him up carefully in suspicion "what are you doing? "

"going swimming. And you are coming with me "

I throw my head back and i laugh, i laugh so hard my stomach hurts and he's just standing there staring at me with a lifted brow. "yeah, no " i manage to choke out once my laughter dies down.

He pouts "but it'll be fun! "

"don't be a baby and sit Kay "

"i hate it when you get bossy on me "he steps closer and pulls my hands "at least come sit at the edge with me"

I think about it for a few seconds. I used to have a huge fear of heights when i was a kid, but haven spent a lot of time here by the cliff and with Kyle and his wildness in general I've gotten over that fear. But i haven't been anywhere that high in a long time.

"okay " i take his hands in mine and let him lead me to the edge and we both sit with our legs hanging out.

I lean my head on his shoulder and let him rap his arm around me as silence consumes us and the only sound to be heard is the heavy pouring water, drowning every other sound of the trees and birds.

"Kyle? "

"hmm? "

I shift so I'm facing him and staring at him dead in the eye so he can see clearly through all my transparent emotions. "thank you. For everything"

"anything for you lexa "by the look in his eyes i can tell that he means every word of it and it makes tears well up in my eyes again.

When did i become such a cry baby! I've been crying way too much today and i hate to feel vulnerable like this. I hate that he can bring out all the vulnrebility in me. I hate that he has to do so much for me but there is not a thing i can do for him.

So i try to force the tears to stop pouring, but it's no use, they just keep flooding out the more i try. Fucking shit!

"it's okay, just let it out babe, let it out" as if he can hear my thoughts he pulls me to him and let's me cry on his chest and i hate it. I hate that i have to be so week whenever I'm around him. I hate that he always knows when I'm having a hard time and how to make me feel better. I hate that he can always see right through me and still smile and make a sly comment about everything.

My eyes are pretty much red and swollen by the time I'm done and i probably look like i was run over by a truck with my messed up ponytail but he doesn't say anything about it. He simply presses a lingering kiss to my forehead and places his with mine. His thumbs wiping away my remaining tears.

"i probably don't say this enough but I'm always going to be here for you lexa "he doesn't even have to say it, i already know. He pulls back a little to stare into my eyes. Golden brown locks with pale grey ones holding so much emotion "i love you, in more ways than you know. "

My brain goes nub. Before i can process the meaning of his last statement, he pulls me up with him so we are both standing.

"you want to try something dangerous? "

"huh? "

"close your eyes lex "

I was still trying to process his words. It's like my brain suddenly shut down. "Kyle what are you... "

I don't get to finish my statement, because the next thing i know I'm falling, and holding on tightly to my best friend, screaming on top my lungs and my eyes automatically squeeze shut, until we both land on the wet bed rest with a huge splash sound of water around us.

Fucking shit!
