"It is nice," I said softly.
We watched the movie like that for a while, and I couldn't help but wish the movie would go on forever. It was so hard to think of Kate as being too young for me, because in my arms right then she didn't feel too young. She felt like a grown woman. A woman who had slowly snatched my heart through the years.
Aiden had always given me a hard time for being so willing to help Kate with her films, but I never minded. I was impressed with her ambition and talent. None of the other girls I'd dated seemed to know what they wanted to do with their lives, but this eighteen-year-old had been chasing after her dreams for years. She was smart and talented and beautiful. She had everything I'd ever looked for in a girlfriend…just not the right amount of years.
At least that's what Aiden thought.
Kate had been quiet for a while, her breathing slow. Had she fallen asleep?
I looked down to check, but her eyes were still open. She must have noticed me looking at her because she tilted her face up. And when our eyes met, I was hyper aware that her lips were only inches away from mine, her breath warm on my face.
I looked down at her soft lips which were slightly parted. Her gaze seemed to do the same.
Just the slight dip of my head and I could know, instead of simply wonder what she tasted like.
She was just right there.
Her gaze lifted from my mouth to my eyes and in a voice so quiet she murmured, ”You want to know something else I've always wondered about?”
”What?" My chest was tight, and I could barely draw in a breath.
"I've always wondered what it would feel like to kiss Drew Burrows."
My whole body instantly went weak.
She lifted her head and moved her face so her nose brushed against mine. And my heart doubled its speed.
"Kiss me," she whispered, her face so vulnerable yet strong at the same time.
And I melted. Molten lava seemed to pour out all over my body, and then I was tilting my head down and kissing her. Kissing those soft lips that had taunted me one too many times.
I meant to only kiss her for a second, just to see if she tasted as good as I'd always imagined. But one kiss led to another, and another, until I could no longer tell where one kiss started and the other ended.
