Sitting (open)

[Atticus Kaine]

"Oh scared of staying out after curfew it's not the end of the world come on live a little " he laughed goading her to see what sort of reply he would get

"Yeah would definetly advise a jacket up here in future"

[Rachel White]

She smiled sheepishly.

"Hufflepuffs don't tend to break curfew, and I got this far in life without doing so. I'm not going to change for no reason." She said slightly defensively, turning to face him slightly and putting a hand on her hip, she raised an eyebrow.

She may be a hufflepuff, but she wasn't a pushover.

[Atticus Kaine]

"Oh you sound like you need some thing to stay out for " he turned to face and placed his hand on her other hip and leant in and kissed her very gently then leant back

"Maybe that will make you stay out" he said jokingly as he looked her in the eyes

[Rachel White]

"Do I r..." she started but was silenced when he placed his hand on her hip and kissed her gently on the lips. When he moved back she was frozen in surprise, her mouth forming a small 'o' as she stared at him, barely hearing what he said next.

She blinked a couple of times and cleared her throat.

"I... um..." she couldn't work out what to say in reply, she'd never been kissed before. She felt her tongue licking her lips as she closed her mouth and the shocked expression faded into an innocent smile. "I've never been kissed before." she said quietly.

[Atticus Kaine]

Atticus smiled back at her "doesn't mean it has to be the only time" he said his hand still resting on her hip as he looked her in the eyes

"I'm sorry if its not what you wanted ?" He waited for her response the wind whistles around them chilling them slightly

[Rachel White]

She could feel his hand still resting on her hip and he held her gaze as she she looked up at him when he spoke.

"Well I certainly don't like the idea of never kissing the first person to kiss me again." she said, reflecting more on her ideals and moral compass than how she actually felt about Atticus, but she supposed you couldn't tell how you felt about someone from such a quick kiss.

"You just surprised me is all." she said with a smile.

[Atticus Kaine]

"Ok well how about this time I don't surprise you so much" he places his other hand on her other hip and looked at her straight in the eyes and leant in slowly to see what would happen next

The moon started to shine down on them

[Rachel White]

She smiled, what she imagined must have been coyly, no that she'd ever had a reason to use such a smile before. She licked her lips.

"I reckon I can deal with that." she said as he put his other hand on her other hip. She looked into his eyes as she tilted her head back. Just before their lips touched she paused, feeling the sense of anticipation building in her stomach. She placed one of her hands on his chest and her eyes slid closed as she closed the gap between them.
