We rented a cabin in Deep Creek NC. It had a great view of the Smokey Mountains and had a small creek that ran right behind the cabin. I would find myself sitting outside wrapped in a blanket watching the fog come off the top of the mountains. It was absolutely beautiful. I love it here. The last time I was here was right before my grandfather died of cancer. I hated watching him die slowly. Wiping a few tears from eyes from the thoughts of my grandfather. I wondered if he would of accepted me being gay, or would he have been like the rest of them. I was brought out of my thoughts by the door opening.

"Hey. What are you doing out her?" It was Ash. She looks so cute with bed head. Smiling I told her I was just thinking about things. She sat down beside me and leaned her head on my shoulder "want to talk about it?"

"Yes and no" She looked confused so I figured I better explain better. "Yes, I want to tell you everything about me and no because I don’t want to think about sad things right now."

"Oh"

Changing the subject "like would you like to do today?"

"Nice avoidance skills there Spence" She caught me. Damn. "Lets just…" She stood up and straddled my lap and wrapped her arms around the back of my neck. Kissing me gentle on the forehead first, she worked her way down to my nose giving me butterfly kissing until she got to me lips. She locked eyes with me as she slowly leaned in so close I could feel her breath on my lips. I ended up closing the distance between us. Our lips meet in a slow passionate kiss that held everything we felt for each other. I wanted her to feel my love with that kiss because I felt hers.

Pulling back a little so I could look her in the eyes I smiled at her. I ran my hand through her hair before cupping her cheek while rubbing my thumb over her bruised lips. She is the most gorgeous person I have ever meet inside and out. I’m so glad she chose me to love. I must of been smiling because she asked me what I was thinking about. I simply replied "you".

"You are such a sappy romantic Spence"

" But you love it"

"That I do. I love you too"

"Aw now who is being a romantic" smiling.

"At least I’m not sappy" she said smacking my arm.

Smiling and laughing a little I gave her a quick peck on the lips before standing up.

"Where are you going?"

"I’m gonna get dressed Ash. I want to explore and maybe drive into Tennessee to go to Dolly Wood today."

"Ok" She looked a little upset "I just thought we could spend the day indoors doing other things" wiggling her eyebrows to make a point.

"Later. Come on lets get dressed but first I say we take a shower"

"Together or alone?" she had hope in her voice

"Um…" tapping my chin in thought I finally relied

"Together"
