"Woah, it's hot out." Cole declared, staring across at the shimmering blue lake.
Cole dove into the lake, swinging like a pro on the piece of rope as he flung his shirt off midway.
He looked so hot shirtless- especially since he was so muscular.
"Jump in!" Cole yelled, swimming a few laps as he drenched himself from head to toe.
It looks like he was sparkling or something now, and weirdly enough I found myself blushing.
"No way!" I called, half grinning, "This t-shirt is new."
Cole raised an eyebrow. "Spiderman? Nice going."
I rolled my eyes. "Still not going in."
"Fine, fine. Look, I can spot a turtle down there!" He beckoned, asking me to lean closer.
I was still slightly suspicious, since Cole barely ever gave up this easily, but still leant over and stared into the water.
"What?" I began, "I don't see any- ARGHHHH!"
Cole grabbed my hand and pulled me into the water, watching me stare closely at the surface.
I splashed and spluttered, trying to get out of Cole's amazingly strong grip.
"Help! Cole! Cole! I lost my earring!" I said worriedly, and he let me go instantly.
"Where is it?" he asked anxiously.
I pointed to a clump of rocks down below, and Cole swam quickly to the  exact spot.
"Where is it-" I dunked his head under the bubbly, clean water for about 20 seconds, until I finally let him go. "That's what you get for getting me wet!" I cried, half-laughing.
"Oh, really?" Cole smirked, grabbing me and locking his lips with mine.
It was so passionate, my arms went limp as he sucked my bottom lip gently.
I deepened the kiss, and could feel Cole grinning against my lips.
He gently kiss me on the forehead before dragging me underwater.
I interwined my fingers with Cole's as he ran his fingers through my wet hair.
"I love you." I whispered, smiling slightly.
"Love you too, Alex."
Our lips connected beautifully, as the sun shone brightly on the lake's surface, the breeze creating ripples......
The sun set soon, and when we had gotten ourselves dried off Cole started on the fire.
He constantly rubbed two sticks of wood together, but it didn't work.
"Damn fire!" he muttered, throwing his hands up in defeat.
I smiled teasingly, lighting a match and throwing it on the stack of logs as they burst into fire.
"Or you could do that." Cole chuckled. "Marshmallow?"
I nodded eagerly, and he handed me a stick with a few fluffy marshmallows speared on top.
"It'd be better with chocolate dip, though!" I exclaimed, taking a bite out of Cole's stick.
"Picky Alex." he smirked, taking out a bowl full of delicious-smelling chocolate dip. "Thank god I know what you're like."
I roasted my marshmallows carefully, munching on the particularly chocolate-y parts.
"Wow, I forgot how good they tasted!" I breathed, staring up at the shimmering stars in the midnight blue sky.
The fire crackled merrily, a deep hue of crimsons, cantaloupes and golds.
"Remember when I used to carry you to sleep every night?" Cole laughed, his twinkling emerald green eyes matching the stars.
"Yeah....." I smiled faintly, resting my head on his warm shoulders.
"Come on." Cole called, "I wanna show you something."
I got up, my hand wrapped tightly round his.
Soon, we stopped and a faint little flicker of gold lit up in the black sky.
I gasped. "Fire.....flies?"
More and more gathered around us, flying in and out as they glowed gorgeously like a thousand sparkling lights.
"You know what?" I said, looking up at Cole seriously, "There isn't anyone else in the world who I would want to be with right now."

The breeze blew in from some unknown crack in the floorboards as a few specks of light began to fill the room, and I found myself sleeping inside Cole's warm arms.
I blushed at remembering last night as Cole stirred slightly.
"Mornin', sunshine." he smiled, wrapping his arm around my shoulder and giving me a small peck on the cheek.
A sharp click sounded in the air and the emergency exit door opened.
"Well, time to open up the- HOLY MOLY MACARONI!" the old man yelped in surprise, dropping his keys.
"Um, we kinda got trapped here after yesterday- did you lock the door? The cellphone connection was down and so we had to spend the night here...Sorry." I explained.
"You stayed here all night? Dang....Come on, you kids should get out before the manager fires me!" the caretaker said, showing us the way out.
"I suppose you kids were fine, especially with you two being so lovey-dovey!" he winked, before strolling back into the haunted house.
I bit the inside of my cheeks as I saw Cole go red, convincing myself that he was not blushing.
"What's next?" I asked, glancing over Cole's shoulder to look at his list.
"Camping in the woods near Brockwood lake." Cole grinned, taking my hand.
"When do we go?" I questioned.
"As soon as we can."

"You ready?" Cole asked, helping me with my insanely heavy Batman rucksack.
"Geez, what've you got in here?"
"Stuff." I muttered, staring at Cole.
How could he be so damn perfect without even trying?
His shaggy blonde hair and striking emerald green eyes made my heart race everytime- especially since I was his girlfriend now....or something like that.
"Let's go, gorgeous." he smiled, wiping a crumb of toast off my chin with a wet thumb.
It sent sparks exploding in my heart as I still felt the lingering touch of his gentle fingertips.
Cole started up his Ferrari as the wind flew in our faces and my hair went flying into the sky. "WHEEEEEEEEE!" I whooped, like a little child, as Cole flashed an amused smile.
"Cherry or Lemon?" he asked, producing two lollipops from his pocket.
"Cherry! Duh!" I laughed, as I leaned over and locked lips for a while.
"You do know I licked that one, right?" Cole smirked, easing the plastic wrapper off his.
"Ewwww! Have it back!" I squealed, throwing it in his face as I flushed red.
"Just kidding," Cole said teasingly, "Although it was really cute to see you all flustered."
"Shut up!" I cried, trying not to turn beetroot red.
He twiddle my light blonde lock around his finger for a while, like he usually did.
It was an uncontrollable habit of his, and Cole said I should never cut my hair short, because it looked beautiful long.
I remembered 7th grade when Cole mentioned that.
Finally, we pulled at a stop to look at an amazing forest covered with huge green trees and a wide, crystal clear lake with a piece of rope hanging off a random tree branch.
"We're here- remember that night we promised eachother that if we were 40 and single as pringles that we would marry eachother?" Cole smiled, reminscing at memories.
"Yeah," I giggled, "That was also the day you lost the arm-wrestling bet and I made you give my Barbie dolls makeovers for the whole day!"
"Psh! That was only because I had sprained my arm that day...." he lied badly.
"Seems like a long time since we came here!" I beamed, climbing on top of Cole's back.
"Let's make today better than that time, then." he grinned, pressing his tender lips against my forehead.
 

"Come on, Alex!" Cole pleaded, grabbing my arm and jerking me back.
"OH NO, I-I'm not going into tha-that pig.....fart!" I refused, standing my ground.
Cole smirked at me with an amused smile. "Pig fart? It's just a haunted house, Alex. Look, even that little girl is going in!"
I bit my lower lip nervously.
"Face your fears! I thought it was you and me against the world...." Cole smiled gently, taking my hand and wrapping his big fingers around mine.
"Fine." I mumbled, "But you're buying me a lollipop after this."
Cole brushed his lips against my cheek softly, and I noticed the butterflies that fluttered in my tummy.
"Anything you want, princess."
As soon as we reached the entrance, a skeleton popped up right in front of me, knocking me backwards. I screamed. "OK, I'VE FACED MY FEARS, NUMBER 2 OF THE BUCKET LIST IS DONE, LET'S GO!"
Cole took my hand and held me inside his arms- thank god he didn't see me blushing because the lights has been turned off and the whole room was pitch black.
My heart thudded inside my chest erractically- all because of Cole.
"It's fine." he muttered into my ear, "Take my hand."
I clenched onto his hand like my life depended on it.
"I didn't mean make me get surgery!" he winced, ruffling my hair.
"Since when did you get so buff?" I asked, running my fingers up and down his arm.
"Ewww, stop, paedo!" Cole laughed, as a scream pierced the air and some creepy cut up doll sprang up from the creaking floorboards.
"Cole!" I yelped, trying to find him.
He wasn't anywhere to be found.
"This is isn't funny....." I muttered, tears springing to my eyes.
"BOO!" an all-too-familiar voice screeched, and I jumped.
"Hell! You stupid b*stard!" I shouted. "I'm going home."
"Wait, Alex! It was only a joke!" Cole protested.
I strode over to the door, and turned the grimy door handle.
It was locked.
"Cole?" I whispered, trying to find him in the darkness.
"I'm here. What's the matter?" he asked, as we sat on the floor and let me rest my head on his lap till I calmed down.
"I-I think we may be trapped here."
He tried smashing the door open but it didn't work- we were confined till the next morning.
I was trembling all over, and wanted Cole to hold me in his arms.
It was like he had read my mind, and I threw my arms around him as he held me for what seemed like a blissful century.
"We'll get out of here, Alex. I promise; just keep close to me." he reassured, tilting my head up a little so that his eyes met mine.
Cole leant in for a kiss and he did it beautifully- the kiss was just perfect.
Passionate, loving, gentle, enchanting and romantic. Just how I liked it.
It was like my lips had a mind of their own and I deepened the kiss, my knees went weak at his touch.
Cole tried to pulled up my shirt but I smacked his hand away punching him lightly.
"Perv!" I squealed, rolling onto him so that he was pinned down.
"Well, aren't you cute. Blushing over a little thing like that!" Cole chuckled, twirling my hair round his finger.
"Shut up- it's your fault we're stuck here!" I pouted, trying to hold him down as he squirmed like a little girl.
"Sorry, beautiful. Maybe it's just because I love being alone with you." he smiled in the darkness, as our lips connected lightly.

"So, summer vacation, huh?" Cole grinned, ruffling my hair. "Get into the car, kid."
"Ugh, Cole, don't call me that. We're only 3 months apart, anyway!" I moaned, settling myself onto the familiar front seat of his shiny red Ferrari.
"Hey! You got knew seats!" I noticed, stroking the furry leopard material.
"OHMIGOD, you're right!" Cole laughed sarcastically, starting the engine.
Cole.
My best friend since I was 3.
"Where to, Alex?" he asked, raising his eyebrows. "The beach?"
I shrugged. "Like I care."
He rolled his eyes and began driving down the road. "Well, guess who's period it is." Cole muttered, clearly annoyed at the fact that I wasn't talking properly.
"Alright, alright." I said, forcing a huge grin on my face as I stretched my mouth upwards. "Smiling, see?"
"Better." Cole smirked.
We parked on a deserted beach, the smooth white sand sinking in betweem my toes.
The sun had just risen, setting the mood.
Tinges of sunset orange, salmon pink and lemon yellow filled the sky lika huge painting.
Cole put his arm round as we sat down and munched on yummy poptarts.
"The beach is empty, huh?" he pointed out, staring at the frothy turquoise waves.
"No sh*t, sherlock." I chuckled, snuggling into his chest.
I smelt the faint scent of axe as I nuzzled into his body and he braided my hair.
After a while, I got bored and started flicking pieces or sand everywhere.
One landed right on Cole's nose, and I couldn't help but snigger at his dumbstruck face.
He soon had a mischeivous smile on his face and the glint in his eye that always showed that he was up to no good.
"Oh that's it, Alex." Cole smirked, scooping up a handful of water and throwing it right at my face.
"You idiot!" I screamed, pelting him with a mouldy banana from the picnic basket.
Cole football-tackled me to the ground and started ticking my neck.
I squealed in extreme laughter- that was my ultimate weak spot.
"I've been your best friend for 13 years, buddy!" he shouted through my protests, "Don't think I haven't done my research."
Before we knew it, it was like we were 7 again, building forts and throwing random objects in eachothers' faces.
Soon, Cole got bored and dragged me onto the rug again.
"Hey Alex, hey Alex, hey Alex, hey Alex, hey Alex, hey Alex, hey Alex, hey Alex, hey Alex, hey-"
"What?!" I interrupted, smacking my palm in his face.
"Do you love me?" Cole asked, with an extremely serious face- his emerald green eyes froze me everytime.
"Of course I do, doofus!" I laughed.
Cole didn't even hesitate as he grabbed me near him and gently pressed his soft lips- against mine.
The kiss was warm and sweet.
"W-what was that for....?" I asked, astounded. Sure, me and Cole had kissed plenty of times, but never this meaningfully.
"I love you, Alex." he said quietly, with a whole new glow around him.
"I love you too." I whispered, and then he pulled me in for a long, long, long hug.
When we finally broke free, he rummaged in his pockets and pulled out a scrunched-up piece of paper.
"It's summer," he announced in an incredibly dramatic voice. "And in my hand is a bucket list."
"Wow..." I said, in a totally flat voice.
"We have exactly two months to complete all 20 things that I have planned for us," Cole grinned, "And kissing you was the first. It starts now."
