Love on the road

I watch as the scenery in front of me breezes past.

And I only have one word to say: Beautiful.

The green rolling hills really complement the clear crystalline lake.

"James. This is so pretty!"

"Yeah I know. We are so lucky to have passed here. Shall we stop for a picnic?"

"Omg yes. Definitely!"

James pulls the car over and I rush to grab the picnic basket and mat from the boot.

"Here, let me get that for you."

"Thanks!" After dumping the heavy basket with James, I run towards the grassland beside the lake. It seemed endless, stretching to where the hills were.

"It's so big!" I spin round and round, hands outstretched.

"Watch your ste-"

Before James had a chance to finish his words, I trip, falling flat on my face.

I roll on my back to meet James's worried hazel eyes bearing into mine.

"Need help?" He asks.

"Nope!" Upon saying that, I got up, dusting the grass and wild flowers trapped on my clothes and skin.

"You missed a part here." James carefully inches in. I close my eyes and feel the light touch of his fingers on my cheek.

My eyelids flutter open and I stare at James.

"Were you expecting something?" A smug look forms on James's face.

"N-no. Of course not." I frown slightly.

"Awww...Don't be mad princess..." James cups my face in his hands and stares into my eyes.

I find myself flustered.

He moves closer. And closer.

Then, I feel his soft lips against mine and I melt under his kiss.
