He began to pull her closer, and her feelings, her emotions, all seemed to be sinking deeper within. As her face came inches from his, her eyes fixed to his, and she listened to what he said. The words were enough to melt a little bit of the ice that was now her heart, but his lips pressed to her own, and she felt warmth where she had been cold for so long. Slowly, lovingly, she wrapped her arms around his neck. He was right. What they had growing up had not changed. With him before her, all those old familiar feelings came rushing back in. She had been too young, too naïve, too shy to express them the way she wanted to, but now, with him her, thousands of miles away from her father and all his plans for her, she found the strength to let some of her walls down.<br/><br/>Breaking the kiss, her lips still so close to his, she whispers to him, “I wanted to do that for so long.” She kissed him without hesitation, without abandon. Her arms pulling him in tighter as the other campers passed by. Their hushed whispers meant nothing to her. The stares didn’t exist. All that mattered was the person in her arms.<br/><br/>She released him, still holding him close. “A promise? For me? For forever? Robbie,” she began. “You are….amazing.”  She looked into his eyes as her heart raced. “Tonight, can we just be together? I want to sit next to you at the bonfire. I want to be yours. Will you sit with me, hold me, kiss me goodnight when we have to part? Tonight can we be….together?” She wasn’t referring to sex. In her own sweet, innocent way, Callie was just asking him to be her boyfriend even if only for one night. What Robbie, what none of them knew, was she had never given herself to anyone. There was such a growing fear at first as she was the shy, nerd at school. As time passed, she became the bitch that had attacked Michael.<br/><br/>She reached down, taking his hand in hers’. “Come on Robbie. Say yes. Say you’ll go with me. If not, I understand,” she told him looking down and releasing his hand as her old doubts and fears crept back into her mind. “I can go by myself. I’m rather accustomed to it.”
