Part Fourteen
"So, have you ever watched The Princess Bride?" Iris asked. She sat in her seat with the food in her lap, the majority of it already eaten by the two.
"Who hasn't? It's a classic," he said, turning the key to turn off the engine. He sat for a moment, looking out and smiling. "Would you look at that view?" Ashton grinned, looking back and forth from Iris and the setting sun on the horizon. He had parked the car in a spot that overlooked the beach. The sun was casting a beautiful orange light across the sand.
"Oh, I'm looking at my view and I'm not complaining," Iris said. She closed the car door behind her, a bag of french fries in her hands as she walked over to the boy that couldn't help but consume her thoughts. "Fry?" She held out the bag to which Ashton took a couple.
They were in a comfortable silence for a while. Just two young people leaning against a car and watching the sun fall. Iris moved her head to rest on Ashtons shoulder. She wasn't tired or anything, but in that moment it was something that just felt right. And Ashton moved his arm around her waist and made sure that she was close to him.
"Hey, Ash," Iris spoke softly, looking up at him and finding herself trapped in his gaze. "I know we haven't known each other for that long but something about you just feels right to me. Sorry if that's weird or anything, I just needed to say that."
"I feel the same," Ashton said, quick to assure her. "Everyone I know is different in their own way and they're their own person but there's something about you... I just want to be near you because there's just something about you." Iris smiled and nuzzled into Ashton.
"This may sound odd but can I take a picture of you and the sunset? I just— a picture of something almost as pretty as you and you in it. You know?" Iris said. She wanted to stay in this moment forever. She wanted to stay this close to Ashton. She wanted to constantly smell the mixture of his leather jacket and cologne. But she knew that eventually the sun would set and the sky would turn dark, so now she would just have to settle for a photo.
Ashton took off his sunglasses, walking forward and turning around. Right as he looked at Iris he could feel his lips naturally tug upward into a smile. After she took a couple photos he pulled her towards him and took her phone to take a few photos of them both. She giggled at the weird faces he would make, eventually turning and kissing her forehead. "Come on, Irwin, you can kiss better than that," she taunted, smiling up at him. He put his arm back around her waist and pulled her into a deep kiss. It was something that they didn't want to let go of and they weren't planning on leaving it.
"Fuck," Ashton whispered. Iris moved her hands down from his neck and to his lower back, making him shiver a bit. "Iris, I can't think of a better time to finally have our long walk on the beach."
"I would love to do that," Iris said, "but I don't want the fries to go bad so let's finish those first."
Ashton nodded, "as you wish."
