Things Have Changed For Me [SEQUEL TO FORM A MOUNTAIN]

Chapter Five

Ryan and I raced ahead of Brendon and Kendall so that we could have some fun. When they were about three miles behind us we took a break on a patch of grass. I laid down to catch my breath and he laid down next to me. His fingertips brushed mine and he took my hand in his. I rolled over and smiled at him before he pulled me closer to him. I stared into his shiny brown eyes before he gently placed his lips on mine. We rolled around in the grass and somehow I ended up underneath him, our legs wrapped together while we kissed more. His body pressed against mime and pinned me down. I tried to wiggle free but it was no use. 

"If we were the only two people around , if Brendon and Kendall weren't about to catch us, I would make you moan so loud that all the trees would shake" he said as he sucked on my neck. 

"Someone's feeling naughty" I giggled. 

"I can't help it, Pey. You have this...control over me that makes me just want to..."

He massaged my hips and kept kissing my neck. Small moans escaped as his rubbing became more sensual. His hands found their way up my dress and he was about to pull down my panties slightly when he probably remembered our friends. He ran his fingers along skin of my stomach and up to my breasts. He gently cupped them in his hands and I moaned into his ear, my breathing was slow but my heart was beating fast. His fingers ran laps up and down the sides of my body. He tugged at my panties again and I moaned louder. He pushed the fabric of my dress up to actually expose my lower half and my stomach. A slight view of my bra was also made. He had this adorable smirk on his face as he took in my body. My arms were still very much pinned down so I couldn't stop him from doing this. Eventually he allowed me my freedom and we got up from the grass to keep hiking. 

We reached the top of the hike long before Kendall and Brendon. The peak looked out on the ocean and I couldn't help but be left breathless. The view was so incredible, I just couldn't believe it. Ryan stood next to me and allowed me to just be captivated. 

"Beautiful isn't it?" he asked "But not as beautiful as you"

I looked up and him and smiled "You're so cheesy"

"Peyton, I know we haven't, um...you and and I...it hasn't exactly been long since we...I love you"

I nearly fell on my ass. This boy, this amazingly wonderful and talented boy was in love with me after just a summer of knowing each other...and I was in love with him too!

"Ryan, I love you too"

We didn't hug, didn't kiss, didn't really acknowledge the moment at all. We just stood there together in silence because we knew that words didn't matter right then, everything was perfect. 

"Hey!" Kendall announced her arrival at the top, quickly followed by Brendon. 

"Kendall, Brendon, we have exciting news" Ryan said. 

"You knocked her up didn't you?" Brendon smirked. 

"NO!" I yelled "We're in love!"

"We knew that..." Kendall said. 

"No, like legit. We just told each other for the first time"

"That's...ADORABLE" Kendall squealed "My babies are in love!"

"Would you like to celebrate?" Brendon asked. 

"OH MY GOD YES!" Kendall exclaimed "Let's all go out for dinner! I'll take Pey back to my house to get ready!"

"Babe, don't you think you should let them celebrate together...on their own?" Brendon asked. 

"Hey, I didn't drive all this way to only see one of you" I said "I like the idea"

"So it's settled! Group dinner date!" Kendall said. 

We all rushed down the trail and back to the car where Kendall dropped the boys off at their houses before taking me as her prisoner.
