The Huddle House had been everything Josh had said it would be. Melly liked it, actually. It had a pretty cool atmosphere and she'd really enjoyed talking to him as they waited for their order and even as they ate. Josh wasn't the kind of guy she normally chased after. He wasn't like Mark or like Aaron. He was nice, though. And he definitely needed to lighten up a little more.

She'd actually been really surprised that he was willing to skip today. Far from complaining, though, she was really glad. She'd had to get up extra early to finish her shopping and she was going to be up so late packing for the flight to Cancun, but it would be worth it. She was really having a good time.

Full of pancakes and bacon and probably way too much coffee, Melly stretched a little as they stepped outside again. It was still a little chilly out, but the sun was out today, at least and she smiled as that slight bit of warmth hit her face. She could just imagine how much nicer it was going to feel once she got to the beach.

"So, what's next?" she asked Josh, turning towards him with a slight smirk. Melly wasn't one of those girls to just sit around and let a guy direct her all of the time, but today she was content to let Josh drive. She'd always thought of him as so serious and responsible. Now that they were out - on a day they were supposed to be in school, no less - she really wanted to see what he could come up with. He'd surprised her with his willingness to ditch school with her and she couldn't wait to see what other surprised he might have in store for her.

Melly didn't mind the way his touch lingered on her skin in the slightest. It was a nice feeling. Melly had always been a really affectionate girl and she liked those little touches, innocent or not.

She nodded when he told her to just watch him and her heart beat faster in anticipation as she watched him slide down the pull. It was a little scary, but in the good, thrilling way, like getting on a roller coaster or diving from the highest board at the pool. She couldn't wait.

She grinned at his cheesy compliment. It was a line. She knew it was a line, because she had plenty of experience with boys saying things like that. She couldn't help but like it, though.

A moment later, she'd grasped the bean and followed his lead, sliding down as he had done. When she reached the ground, it took a second to catch her footing and she found herself stumbling into him a little. Her eyes were bright with excitement, though.

"That. Was. Awesome," she informed him breathlessly as she looked up to catch his gaze with hers.

Josh smiled as he watched her slide down the bean, anticipating her movements with his arms outstretched, when she stumbled he was right there, hand lightly on her hips helping to steady her. She was so small in his arms. He wasn't a football player or anything like that, but he was tall and broad. Leslie always says he gives the best bear hugs, his arms enveloping around people that are smaller than him.

But right now they were just standing there for a moment that felt like an hour in slow motion. The wind caught her hair just right and everything seemed right. It was a great day.

Doing something completely against his character, shoving his head to the back of the room and listening just to his emotions and his body. He touched her cheek and trailed his fingers down along her jaw so he was cupping her neck in his hand and ran his thumb along the side of her jaw softly. He leaned down, not too fast but not slowly inching forward either, and took her mouth with his. At first gentle, soft, barely a whisper of a kiss, then he put a little more of himself into it and held her there with his heart racing a mile a minute yet calming and letting him enjoy the moment.

Melly didn't know what she'd expected when Josh had offered to skip school with her, but it definitely wasn't this. She wasn't expecting Mr. Serious and Responsible to be so much fun. He caught her by surprise with that, but she didn't think it was a bad thing, not at all.

She was usually good at making the first move, but when Josh caught her, hands on his hips to steady her, all she could do was stare up at him, noticing things she'd never really noticed before, like his long lashes and his gorgeous brown eyes. He was definitely cute, she decided before his hand on her cheek sent an unexpected shiver down her spine.

Melly melted into the embrace when he kissed her. Her lips parted slightly under his as she returned his kiss and she hummed a soft approval as her fingers sought to tangle in his hair. This wasn't the direction she'd expected today to take, but she wasn't complaining in the slightest.

Josh's fingers tightened slightly around the back of her neck and pulled her closer. His hand that was resting on her hip moved around her, pressing her body against his. He couldn't seem to get enough of her. Her touches, those hands in his hair. Everything about this moment was perfect.

Melly's response was all Josh needed. His kiss grew deeper, more passionate. Like they were the only two people there. He matched her motions, her mouth opened his opened. She pressed tighter he pressed tighter. His tongue played at the tip of her lips. His hand moved into her hair. His tongue slipped past her soft lips and into her mouth.

So he may have planned all of this. And he may have hoped all of this. But never in his dreams did he think it would ever work out like this. Not this... this perfect.

And for the first time in his life, his brain had shut up.
