Around the Campfire

The red and orange flames flickered in the breeze as more wood got added to it. The campfire was in full swing. The sky was filled with glitter in the otherwise darkness. Nearby was the lake where they spent fishing during the day. Farther away was the cabin where they stayed. They were out for one thing: S'mores under the beautiful moonlit sky. They were both a friend of each other.

"How would you like to have another?" Jessica asked.

"I would love to make another. They are so good." Kible munched his last bite and swallowed.

"You know, I have been thinking of going out with someone. Someone special."

"That's great! Who?"

"Meglo. He's real sweet deep down."

"I'm not sure about him. He seems shady."

Suddenly Jessica's hand slipped and landed on Kible's chest. Kible chomped down on his last bite and caught her with his two muscular arms. Slowly, he let her fall on him.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes, I am."

Their lips brushed each other as she struggled to get back into her side. Then they looked at each other silently. Was it just her imagination?

"Maybe we should be more than just friends. That felt good. I'm going for the wrong person and you are single too." She played with her hair, reliving that moment.

"You're right. We known each other for a long time. We graduated together. Why not me?"

"Yes. Meglo can find someone else."
