Alex

Oh wow, this is amazing. Feeling her body pressed against mine, my arms around her like I've dreamed of doing. Her smell is awakening my senses and I'm in bliss. This is unbelievable. I feel so warm, so safe, so comfortable. I absolutely love the feeling of having her in my arms. I love the warm sensations tingling through my body. I love the beat of my heart as it races through my chest. I love that I can feel her heart racing too. I love her.

We're lying on my bed, our arms wrapped tightly around eachother. Her head is resting in the crook of my neck. I can feel her warmth. Our bodies are pressed together and I am in heaven.

We got back from the Halloween party and sat and laughed on my bed for a while. Marissa started it,

"I can't believe just a few months ago we didn't even know eachother!"

"I know it's so wrong, I can't imagine not knowing you."

"Me neither. You have to be in my life, you just have to be!"

That's when she leaned in for a hug and half an hour and many sweet words later, here we are. Tangled together in ecstacy.

Marissa

Oh wow this is so comfortable. So comfortable. We've been lying here for ages. Ah I don't care, this feels so nice. She's so warm. My head on her chest, it fits. Perfectly. I love it. I love having her this close. I want her closer. How could I want her closer? I've never felt anything like this before. What's this? I can't be falling for her. But I am. But I can't. She's a girl. So? So? She's a girl, it's not right. Why does it feel so right? Stop thinking. It's too nice. Enjoy it. Worry about it later. It feels so good, so just do it. Nothing wrong with a hug. No. Nothing wrong with a hug.

Alex

Her heart really is beating fast. I can feel it. Or is that just mine? No, I think it's hers. Why's hers beating fast? Maybe she likes me. Maybe. What if I just move my head. What if our noses touch? What if I just brush my lips with hers?

I slowly move my head. We're facing each other. I swear I feel her heart speed up a couple of beats. I lean my head towards hers and our cheeks brush. I feel her warm, smooth, gorgeous skin and it sends familiar tingles through my body. Our faces continue to press against one another. I tilt my head and relax it on the pillow. Our lips are millimetres apart now, I can feel her breath on my lips. I close my eyes and bask in the smell, the feel, the essence of her.

She's not pulling away. She's not pulling away. Graze, go on, graze…

I very carefully move my head just an inch. Our lips touch for a brief moment, so softly. My heart is pounding.

This is it. This is it. She's actually going to kiss you. Oh my god.

She's turned her head. She's turned her head away. My lips are now resting on the side of her face.

Oh shit I've freaked her out. Oh God why could I be so stupid to think she actually likes me!! Alex!!! I hope she didn't notice anything I hope to god she didn't notice anything!! You idiot, Alex. You idiot.

Marissa

Did she just try to kiss me? What that a graze? What was that? Why did I turn away? What if it wasn't what I thought. I couldn't just go and kiss her, although it might be nice…my head is so confused. Would I kiss her? Would I kiss her? Maybe…I want to see what it's like. Maybe I've blown it. She tried to kiss me and I didn't do anything. Maybe she didn't try to kiss me at all. Maybe she doesn't even like me. I don't know what to think, it's easier to lie here and not think. Maybe she will try again…I know I care more about her than any friend I've ever had. Even Summer. I care about Summer, but I feel differently about Alex. Somehow. In a way. Yeah, I'm falling for her. I really think I am. God this is so confusing.
