“But so much time has…”
I shake my head as she stops talking. “You keep talking about time, but all we ever have is right now. This very moment.” Maybe I don’t want to waste it anymore. Maybe a bigger part of me wants to know what it’s like with her again. “You must think about it?”
“Lately I have been,” she admits.
“And you kissed me…” I trail off.
“Well, seeing you again, it brought everything back,” she says.
I reach out and brush a strand of her hair away. “It does do that.” I sigh.
She glances up at me, probably wondering what I’m going to come out with next.
“I liked kissing you, Em.”
She smiles. “I liked it too.”
I step in a little closer. “It’s been hard without you.”
“It’s been hard without you too.” She steps into me and breathes into my chest.
I wrap my arms around her and kiss her on top of her head.
A part of me would love to finish what we started, but I don’t think now is the time or the place. It takes all my strength to eventually pull away.
“I have dinner with my Dad tonight,” I tell her. “We’ll talk tomorrow?”
She pulls back to look at me and nods. “I’d like that.”
Maybe I’m acting hot and cold with her. I love being near her again, but I’m fucking afraid to get burned. And throwing statements around about us in bed together probably isn’t helping matters. Is it just my imagination that she seems a little disappointed?
Regardless. I need to get my head straight for tonight with my dad, and get ready.
We say our goodbyes and I head back to my car. She waves me off as I take off down the street.
I don’t even make it to the end of the row of houses before I slam the brakes on and sit for a moment. I bang my hands on the steering wheel.
I am trying to stay away from her. I’m trying to protect myself.
But we’re like magnets when we’re together. The pull is so strong, I find myself doing a u-turn in the middle of the street and driving back to her house. Swinging into the driveway, I jump out and jog on up to the front door. I knock a couple of times and wait until she answers.
She looks a little bewildered when she sees me.
“Anyone else here?” I ask her.
She shakes her head.
“I think we need to finish what we started,” I say, reaching for her and tilting her chin up with my hand.
The bigger part of me is tired of fucking around.
I reach down to kiss her, brushing my lips past hers.
What I’m not prepared for is her reaction. She wraps her arms around me and pulls me close to her. Our mouths join, her lips warm and inviting.
Maybe I shouldn’t be kissing her on her front doorstep for all to see… but I no longer care. The intensity I feel to touch her overwhelms me.
This has been a long time coming, and I’m quickly a volcano about to erupt.
