Chapter 9: Close the Space

Sophia's P.O.V

I woke up to the chirping of the birds and the sunlight seeping through the tent flaps. I tossed off my blanket and got up to get dressed. I throw on an army green tank top, brown pants, and combat boots. I put my hair in a French braid and walk out of my tent.

James is serving breakfast and all of the lost boys are getting some food and sitting down to eat. I walk up to James and he hands me some fruit.

"Good morning," I say.

"Good morning Sophia," James says back.

"Do you know what I am doing today at training?" I ask him.

"Peter was talking about hand-on-hand combat with Dylan for you last night," James replies.

"Oh so he was talking about me last night," I say with a smirk.

"Yes, he never shuts up about you. 'Sophia does this' 'Sophia does that'. I think he has a crush on you." He says with a chuckle. "Well, all the lost boys have a crush on you. But if anyone is going to get you, it's Pan. He always gets what he wants."

"Wait, hold on. You have a crush on me?" I ask, surprised. James is so cute, so nice, such a gentlemen. Any girl would be lucky to have him as a boyfriend.

"Um. Yea. Just look at you, you're gorgeous," he says smiling shyly.

"Aww, James. Thank you. You're not too bad yourself," I say with a smirk walking away, whiling eating my fruit.

I end up sitting down next to Peter. "So what's the plan for today?" I ask.

"I was going to have you do some hand-on-hand combat with Dylan, but he already told some of the younger boys he would go hunting with them today. So I was thinking I could do that with you. I don't have any business to take care of, so it's your lucky day." He says.

"Ok cool, when do we start?"

"Right now," Peter says. He stands up on the log and shouts" Boys!! Head down to the training area!!"

I get up off the log and follow them to the training area. Hand-on-hand combat is my best fighting skill, so I hope today goes well.

❥❥❥

"Ugh!" I say as I am thrown to the floor for the 10 millionth time today. I am drenched in sweat, my clothes have dust and dirt all over them and I have no open wounds, yet. "Peterrrrrr," I moan as I am lying on the forest floor. We walked a bit away from the training area so we could have silence while fighting.

"Come on, get up. I didn't even throw you that hard." Peter said as he held out his hand for me to grab to help me up. I gladly take it. "OK, now you come at me this time," Peter says.

"Ok," I say quietly. I take a running start and try to tackle him. Let's emphasize the word "try". He ends up throwing me on the ground again. But he starts to walk away and I grab his ankle and pull him down. Well, he lands right on top of me. Both of his arms are holding him up on the dirt next to my arm. I can feel his arm slightly brush up against mine and a feeling I cannot explain shoots through my arm. You can see the little bit of sweat on his forehead and how he is lightly breathing. I can feel his breath on my face. Our faces are so close to each other. I am holding everything not to close the little amount of space between us to kiss him.

His face looks so perfect and I am just staring into those forest green eyes. We have been like this for some time now. We are both staring into each other's eyes, admiring everything about each other. I knew we were both thinking the same thing by now. So I say it, "Just kiss me already." He smirks leaning down to close the little space between us.

Peter's P.O.V.

I throw her to the ground as she tries to tackle me. She is so adorable when she is frustrated. I start to walk away to get some water, but she grabs my ankle by surprise and I fall right on top of her. My quick reflexes come in handy in times like this. I put both of my arms on either side of her body. Her arm rubs against me the tiniest bit, but it feels like lightning shooting through my arm. On her face, there is dirt smudged on her cheeks and forehead and her big brown eyes are sparkling back at me. I am only focusing on her right now; I don't care what the lost boys are doing. I just want to stay like this forever, with her.

I am doing my best not to stare at her lips because then I won't be able to help myself. I will then need to kiss this beautiful girl. We are just staring into each other's eyes now, not looking at anything else. I want her to want to kiss me; I don't want to make any assumptions. But she finally says the words I have been wanting to hear: "Just kiss me already," she says with a smile. I lean down to close any space between us. As soon as our lips connect, I knew she is the girl for me. At first it is sweet and soft but the longer we kiss, the more intense it becomes. It is now vigorous and hot; there is absolutely no space in between us now.

Sophia pulls back to take a breath. "I don't want to go to fast," she says panting.

"Okay, we can go as slow as you want," I say. "It starting to get dark, do you want to go back to camp?" She nods her head and smiles at me.

I can't believe I am falling for a lost girl.
