“We best get back not that she thinks you abandoned her”. “How do you know?” I ask confused. He looks down to me, as he towers quite a bit over me and smirks at me - “I got my ways” He holds my hand all the way back and just before we re-join the group, he pulls me in for a hug and whispers in my ear “I don’t want to share you at all with anyone now that I finally got you close to me” His closeness is driving me insane. The heat, up and down my body is unreal. I feel this energy, I feel stronger than ever with him here. He runs his fingers through my hair pulling my face close to his and I can feel his breath on my skin. I start to shake. He licks his lips before kissing me very slowly. He pulls away ever so slightly “and here she comes” he whispers. Allison comes out of the big tent with a smaller fire inside. “There you are Summer, I wondered where you had gone and if you abandoned me with your errrmm … new friend?” she smiles. I sigh quietly as I didn’t want the kiss to end. I look up at Damian then I look at Allison. “Yes erm... we was just taking a bit time for ourselves Allison, this is Damian. Damian, this is Allison my best friend” Damian holds on to my hand and I look back at him smiling. “So, are you two an Item now?” Allison asks straight forward. Damian pulls me back in “Yes – she is mine now” I lean my head on his chest and really don’t have a care in the world what anyone thinks about it. “Aw Girl, I am so happy you got your knight in shining armour now” now come in let’s have some smores and some pitta bread on sticks the Guys got for us” she pulls on my arm. We turn around and walk in the Tent, it’s amazing in here, it’s so bright and warm from the fire, everyone is enjoying themselves. I noticed Jack and Rose aren’t here.
Damian sits down and pats next to him, just as I was sitting down, he pulled me right in front of him, so I was sitting between his legs with my back right on his chest, not even a sheet of paper would fit between us. Allison is sitting next to Rick and they are feeding each other food, which is quite cute but messy too. Every time she accidentally, on purpose, gets chocolate on her face he will lick it off her then carries on kissing her. They are lovely with each other. Silvia is sitting with James and next to him is Thomas. Aiden and Jo are sitting next to us, she is leaning on Aiden and she looks tired. Just then Damian runs his hands along my sides then wraps them around me and whispers in my ear “you know I wasn’t going to say this yet, but it’s been a while since I been this happy. Thank you for coming here today and spending time with us” I smile looking into the flames. Then the Tipi opens, and Jack and Rose walk in, he looks stern at me not a smile in sight. Rose sits next to Aiden and Jo, then pulls on Jacks arm for him to sit down too. Aiden clears his throat “Sorry folks, Jo isn’t feeling quite well anymore I’m going to get her home in her bed. Was lovely seeing you Allison and Summer, hopefully see you soon again.” He excuses the both of them then carries Jo out the Tipi, she has her head on his shoulder and is almost asleep. The rest of us is still going strong, we are just chatting and Damian asks how it came that we moved town, so I do a short version of , my Mom died , needed new start and moved. Jack didn’t talk at all he just looked at me and Damian … literally never looked anywhere but us.
Allison gets up after her and Rick been whispering for the past 20 minutes giggling and she was all over him constantly, she holds her hand out pulling Rick up “Sorry guys we are going somewhere more private… don’t wait up for me Summer, I reckon you will want to stay here too” she says with the biggest smile. They walk out the Tipi into a smaller one a bit further from the main one. My cheeks go all red. Damian explains that they extra build those tents up if any of the loved-up ones want to be alone and that they often stay here at the Lake on weekends. I think it’s lovely if you have a good friend’s group who hangs out together. “So, you finally talked to her now yes? Glad you found your mate Damian, but you know that he won’t allow it” Jack says and I turn my head to look at him, even Rose looks with a rather confused look at him. Damian growls. “Jack it’s not the place or time to talk about this, so let it go” Rose says. With some power in his voice Damian says “I do not care what he says, she is my mate end off. Now drop it or leave” Jack gets up and walks out of the Tent. I just sit there wondering what Mate means. Girlfriend? Mate? … Rose walks after him. Thomas, Silvia and James excuse themselves “Sorry Damian, it’s getting late we are heading back too. See you tomorrow.” I gasp, oh rubbish, it’s late I better text Dad telling him me and Allison are staying late not to worry it’s all well. Damian gets up kneeling next to me “would you like to stay here, or would you like me to bring you home?” I got so many questions and things I need to ask him. What the hell did just happen for example and really, I don’t just want to leave Allison alone here. “I would like to stay with you. Please.” I say with a slightly shaky voice. Right let me get some blankets from the Jeep, I will be back in a second” I just nod at him.
