Chapter 6:
Steffy could feel herself give in to the kiss. To her, it was amazing.
However, as soon as their lips parted, she felt terrible. She didn't want the kiss to end.
Carter, however, felt guilty. He knew that kissing Steffy was what he wanted, but knowing what she had gone through with Liam, he didn't want to push her.
"I'm sorry, Steff," said Carter sadly. "For what? I liked it," she said. "I just don't want to push you, that's all," said Carter. Steffy then looked down sadly.
However, feeling her feelings for him grow, Steffy put down her plate on the coffeetable & gently lifted Carter's face so that she could look into his eyes. She then made her move.
Steffy kissed him, & he responded by taking her in his arms.
They made out for what seemed like forever, each enjoying the other.
However, Carter freaked out.
"Wait a minute..." he began to say. "Carter, what's wrong?" said Steffy. "Don't you think we're going a little too fast here?" he asked. Steffy looked at him in surprise.
"Why do you ask that? Do you think I'm not over Liam?" asked Steffy. "I don't know. Are you?" asked Carter who was feeling very uncertain. Steffy simply took his hand in hers.
"Yes, I am," said Steffy. "When I left for Paris, I wanted Liam to move on. I finally took some time for myself. I got to know myself a lot better. Sure, I still loved him & hated myself for allowing Quinn Fuller to manipulate the situation, but I knew that I couldn't be with Liam again. I knew that I couldn't risk having him break my heart again. So, yes, I am over him."
Carter simply nodded his head. He understood where Steffy was coming from. Sometimes it took getting to know yourself as a person in order to move on.
"Do you want to finish this before it gets cold?" asked Carter with a smile. "Yeah," said Steffy. He then kissed her hand, & they went back to enjoying their dinner.
