eight // you & me

A/N
soooo after a two year break because I've been unbelievably busy, I have decided to continue this. I hope you all enjoy this :)

Rowan (Mal)-

I'm shaking inside right now. i didn't think I'd be into Peyton like this. he looks so cute right now, and I'm freaking out.

"I'm sorry that I don't have a proper ride for us. I have my motorcycle, but don't you worry, you can hold onto me," Peyton mentions.

"Um that's totally fine," I blush. I put on the black helmet, hop onto the bike, and hold his waist, and off we go. I laugh uncontrollably because my hair was flying everywhere, and I was having the time of my life.

"I can tell you're having so much fun," Peyton says with a huge smile on his face.

Peyton (Ben)-

we finally arrive. it was this beautiful spot that had a gorgeous pond, flowers everywhere, and the sky is perfectly blue. I had a picnic set up because I want this to be perfect. she is the one i want to be with.

"You ready to go?" I ask Rowan. she takes off the helmet and the wind perfectly swoops her hair. she looked stunning. i had never seen anything like her.

"Whatcha staring at Pey?" she smirks.

i completely blush and laugh it off. i am being way too obvious that i like her. i reach my hand to hers. this is all I've wanted to do since I've seen her. i could almost hear her squeal, and she immediately squeezes back. my heart was beating so fast.

"You've been a little qui- Peyton you did this all for me? I can't believe you did this. i think I'm falling in love." she whispers that last part, and i felt like I was on cloud nine. i didn't want to get my hopes up so i play it cool.

"Rowan, anything for you. let's dig in. i have some salads, fruit, and drinks," i mention.

her eyes completely light up at the sight of the food.

"I've never had these before," she says as she picks up a strawberry.

"How about we keep these for last because they are in season and are sweet. these are strawberries and are an amazing fruit. my favorite actually. only the best for you."

Rowan (Mal)-

my pulse was speeding up. he was everything right now. he created this phenomenal picnic for me. we sit down and start eating. i made sure to be as proper as i can.

"You know Rowan, you are the first girl who i am truly interested in. my parents would always set me up with these lovely girls, but you are the one. i really think you have my heart."

"Wow Peyton," i cup his cheek in my hand, "that is so sweet," i add. a huge smile comes onto my face. i look into his green eyes, and i know he really meant it. we just sit there, falling in love. he breaks the silence.

"How about we go for a swim." he starts to take off his shirt and pants.

"Are those crowns on your swim trunks?" i ask with a slight chuckle. i thought it was adorable.

"duh! what else would i be wearing?" his laugh was contagious, and i couldn't help but join in. he climbs all the way up these rocks.

"ROWAAANNNN!!!!!" he yells while jumping off the rocks. he creates the biggest splash and gets me wet.

"Peyton! you got me all wet," i say while laughing. i decide to get a little rowdy, and i jump in. i don't see him, and i start to worry. all of a sudden, someone grabs me from behind. i scream and turn around.

"Pey! you scared me!"

"Rowan, this has been the most memorable moments I've ever experienced. thank you for coming here. this really means a lot to me. also..." he leaves me hanging.

"What? Come on Peyton tell me," i say. I'm so curious about what he has to say to me.

he leans in for a kiss. i stopped him.

"Woah woah woah Peyton. what are you doing?"

"I'm so sorry. i shouldn't have done that Row. how about we get out and get back?" he asks, while he starts to get out.

i quickly grab his arm.

"Peyton wait." i stare deep into his eyes. i kiss him. there were sparks for sure. i never wanted this moment to end.
