Childhood friendship, Teenage romance




 * It was a sunny summer day when I went out to play with Elise again. She was my neighbour and pretty much the only kid my age around so we had been friends and playing for a long time already.


 * We had a special spot in the nearby park where we would meet. It was in the shade of a large oak, surrounded by bushes. A spot only we knew and was out of sight. Many a times we would meet there to tell stories, play games and just talk.


 * "...And he pulled and the fish was like, this big!" I said and used my hands to demonstrate the scale. Elise looked at me intently and said "Wooow!" She giggled slightly as she looked at me, then away.


 * "Josh?" she asked. I leaned back. "Yeah?"


 * "Will we be friends and meet here even when we grow up?" She asked.


 * I smiled. "Of course. We'll always be friends and play here!"


 * "YAY!" She squealed and hugged me.




 * I opened my eyes and exhaled deeply. A smile formed across my face as I recalled these events in my head, relaxed under the shade of a tree, surrounded by bushes.


 * I looked to the side and my smile widened. She was walking here, her pretty smile with her as it usually was.


 * As promised, we were still friends... And we still met in our secret place....


 * She walked next to me, sat down and smiled to me as we exchanged kisses.


 * ...Even more than friends, in fact.
