Chapter Thirty Three - Day trip (Part 1 of 2)

Asher

Farrah and I had arrived at our destination after a three-hour drive. We left at seven-thirty this morning, rather than nine. I only found this place last night, hence why I had to change the time if we wanted to make a day of it. I had found a gorgeous Forrest. There were trails to walk, waterfalls, ones you could swim in. It was perfect and like a completely different world from home. I had brought food and drinks with me because there wasn’t any place really close by for these things.

“I am excited! I have not ever seen a waterfall in person,” She said excitedly as we get out of the car.

“You will love it, sweetness,” I reply brightly.

The waterfalls were at least half an hour walk from where the car gets parked, but plenty to see on the way. I reach for her hand, letting our fingers linked together.

“This place is beautiful,” Farrah states as she takes in our surroundings.

“It really is, completely different from our small town,” I respond.

I wanted to take her away today to spend the entire day with her, and because I know when we go back to school, she will get hassle, we both will. I can handle it, but I was worried about her. I would be right there with her, though. I wouldn’t let those assholes get to her.

“Thank you for this, Asher,” She smiles, kissing my cheek.

“You are welcome. I am glad you agreed to let me steal you for the day,” I grin.

We continue on the trail, stopping to snap some photos and take some selfies, the smile not leaving Farrah’s lips for a single second as we did. She was mesmerised by the place. I was too.

“We can go swimming in the waterfall,” I said.

“I don’t have a suit! I would have brought one if I knew that,” She whined.

“You can still go swimming. Just go in, in your underwear,” I smile, “And I brought towels with me to dry afterwards,” I added.

“I am not going in on my underwear!” She states, “What if people walk by and see?” She added.

“The place is usually quiet on a Sunday,” I said.

“I still don’t know,” She sighs.

“Baby girl, if you are don’t want to, you don’t have to,” I reply.

I removed my hand from hers and wrapped it around her. I kiss the top of her head, and she smiles widely at me. I would be going swimming, but if she doesn’t feel comfortable with it, I respect that.

The walk was peaceful, the fresh air good. We didn’t see another single person on the walk. I followed the map and finally found the waterfalls. It took longer than planned because I may have got a little lost. Farrah found the entire thing hilarious. She found it even funnier when I started getting frustrated.

“Oh my God, this is incredible!” Farrah gushes wide-eyed.

I have not ever seen anything like it. The water was crystal clear. It looked untouched. It was something else for sure. Farrah snapped some photos because you don’t see places like this much in life.

“How about we eat, have a drink and then we can go swimming?” I suggest, “Or I will go swimming, and you can watch?” I added.

“Yes. I think I will come swimming with you because it looks very inviting,” Farrah giggles.

I chuckle and nod before kissing her softly. I was happy she had decided to join me. It wouldn’t have been the same with her watching from the side-lines.

I got the food and drinks out of the bag, placing the blanket down to sit on. I have not ever made such an effort for someone. Farrah was worth it.

I stood, stripping myself down to my boxers, Farrah watching my every move. I smirk, taking my clothes off slowly, teasing her.

“Stop smirking at me, Asher,” She snickers, shaking her head.

“I don’t know what you mean, gorgeous,” I wink before heading into the water.

It was shallow to start with, but the more you go in, the deeper it becomes, deep enough to swim in. I dive under the water, swimming around for a moment. Something was freeing about the water, whether it be in the ocean or somewhere like this. I came back up, and when I did, I see Farrah standing up. I could tell she was nervous.

“Will it make you feel better if I turn away?” I ask.

“No, it isn’t you that I am worried about seeing me half-naked. It is other people,” She said.

“We can hide under the waterfall if we hear anyone. There are rocks behind it we can sit on,” I smile.

Farrah quickly looks around, and once she has checked no one is around, she strips down to her underwear. I was watching her closely. She was beautiful. She quickly ran towards the water and made her way to me.

I pulled her close, wrapping my arms around and holding her close to me. I caress the skin of her hips, and she presses her lips to mine, letting her hands wander over my chest and stomach as our lips danced perfectly.

“You are so beautiful, baby girl,” I breathed out, moving to kiss her neck.

She moans deeply, tugging at my hair, her entire body responding to me. I took a step back from her, only because I don’t want to get carried away.

“Let’s swim,” She said, diving under the water.

And that is what we did. We swam around, splashing each other and just messing around. It was fun until she suddenly disappeared. I went into a panic mood, frantically looking around, and then I hear her laugh loudly. I see her silhouette behind the waterfall. I dive under the water, swimming under the fall and coming up to meet her.

“Were you trying to scare me?” I pout.

“Of course not,” She laughs, “I thought you would have realised where I went,” She added, shaking her head.

I pushed her knees apart, standing between them and rested my hand on her thighs.

“Hmm, you are lucky I am kind of crazy about you or I may have got mad,” I said honestly.

“You are?” Farrah asks brightly, and I nod, “Me too!” She added.

I smiled like a dork when she said that. I am glad we are on the same page. I brought her lips to mine, kissing her again, but a little harder this time. She groans, slipping her legs around me and closing the distance between us. Things were quickly becoming heated. My hormones were taking control, and I believe it was the same for Farrah.

“We should stop,” I mumbled into her lips.

“Yes,” She replies.

I hesitate but pull away from her and sit next to her. She rests her head on my shoulder.

“This place is something else, isn’t it?” She whispers.

“Yes, all of this is perfect,” I reply, kissing her forehead.

I would stay here all day and night with her if I could. There was something about having her close that put me at ease. I wonder, is this what falling in love feels like? Surely, I can’t be falling in love this quickly?
