Sydneys POV
It was one of those long days, when everything that could go wrong actually did go wrong.
It had started with me oversleeping, something that never had happened to me in my life.
Stressed out by being in a hurry to get to class in time I had forgotton a book in my dorm that I needed for english literature.
I had been a complete mess even after first periode.
I was now on my way back from a libary that Miss Terwillinger had recommended to me. I was supposed to find a book for her research but even that had turned out as a failure.
I hadn´t found the book she wanted and eventhough I loved libaries, that one had almost left me frustrated.
It hadn´t been organized well and was way shorter than I had been expecting.
Now on my way back my tyre had busted, leaving me stranded on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere.
Normally that wouldn't have been a problem. Changing a tire was an easy fix for me.
If only I had an extra tyre in my trunk.
I didn't. Why you might ask?
The other day I had to help out Adrian with my extra tyre because for him on the other hand, having an extra tyre would have been more than unexpected.
I hadn't been able to pick up a new one yet. They had to order the one I specifically asked for and I was supposed to pick it up after school tomorrow.
Now, checking up on my car with a closer look I was almost sure that something with the axis was wrong, too.
I sighed frustrated.
It must probably have happened when the tyre had busted and the car awkwardly had come to a stop on the side of the road.
Saying I was annoyed was an understatement.
My curfew was moving closer and closer and it already had been difficult, if not even impossible, to make it to Amberwood in time.
Now I had to call AAA and wait for them. Than follow them to the mechanics place, see if something really was wrong with Latte and still had to get back to Amberwood.
It was impossible to even make it there an hour after curfew.
I called AAA and they confirmed to send someone within the next hour.
I was only 30 minutes away from Amberwood, but since it was the weekend I was guessing they had a lot of work.
I called Miss Terwillinger, asking her to call the school for me to excuse me and she agreed, she sounded apologetic for my bad luck and promised to call the school immediatelly.
Since I wouldn't be able to make it back to Amberwood in time, I had decided to find a hotel room for the night. It would be easier.
I was about the press the calling button when my phone rang.
It was Adrian. What an coincidence I thought.
it wasn´t like we talked on the phone all the time, but from time to time he checked in with me.
I appreciated it. Not many people in my life did.
Of course I saw Jill and the gang at school every day, but people on the outside rarely did.
"Hey Sage, what's up?" he asked in a light tone.
"Hey Adrian" I said a bit exhausted.
"You don't sound so good. Everything okay?" he asked.
"Not really. Today is cursed" I replied with a sigh.
"Cursed?" he asked with a chuckle "Do you even believe in those kind of things?" he asked in disbelief.
I explained my current situation to him and told him what else had gone wrong today and he listened attentively.
"You want me to come Sage?" he asked when I finished.
"No, it´s fine, AAA is on it's way. They`ll be here in the next hour and I was just about to make a call to book a hotel room for the night" I replied.
"So what? You are telling me you are on the roadside alone for the next hour? Nah Sage, that doesn't sound safe. I`m coming. Besides, if it wasn't for me, you would have fixed the new tyre already" he argued.
A hint of seriousness was in his voice eventhough he was trying to sound nonchalant, like it wasn´t a big deal at all.
"I am capable of taking care of myself Adrian. I have been doing that my whole life" I responded, still touched by his concern, not that I would let him know that.
"I know you are, but a little help never hurt anyone" he paused.
"And a hotel room? Really? What about Casa Ivashkov? Tu case es mi casa" he said and I laughed.
"It's mi case es su casa. My house is your house" I corrected him.
He chuckled "Exactly what I was saying. So stop this nonesense. I'm coming to get you" he said and I was about to say something again but he already had hung up.
I watched my phone and shook my head. Typical Adrian.
He didn't even know where I was.
My phone rang again. Adrian. I nodded and smiled, rolling my eyes.
"Yes Adrian?" I asked.
"Send me your location, okay?"
"Okay but..."
He must already be in his car according to the background noises and I was about to give him a lecture on using the phone while driving when he spoke again.
"I'm hanging up no. It's dangerous to be on the phone while driving, so send me your location quick please. I'm already on my way".
The line went dead and I did as he said. It was getting dark quickly now and knowing I wouldn't have to wait all by myself actually was a good feeling.
I wasn't exactly scared, but knowing Adrian would be here soon still made me feel better.
20 minutes later he parked his car behind mine and knocked on my car window.
I let him in and he sat down.
"Hi" I said, giving him a smile.
"Hi yourself" he replied. He smellt amazing, like always, and the scent quickly filled my car, wrapping me up in Adrian.
"You were quick. Did u speed?" I asked with an arched eyebrow.
He put a hand on his chest "Never" he replied.
I didn't believe him but let it go.
"I am serious about that hotel room" he than said.
"You can crash at my place anytime. You know that, right?"
The car seemed to shrink and I was hyper aware of him sitting next to me.
Of course I knew that. I just wasn't sure if I trusted myself spending so much time with him alone.
Still insisting to spent the night in at a hotel would have been professional and the right thing to do.
I knew that. But on the other hand, him being here was already unprofessional so why not take that offer.
It would be rude to refuse it, right? Besides it wasn't what I wanted to do. I was confusing myself with all those thoughts, so I just nodded.
"Thanks" I said and he gave me warm smile.
AAA arrived almost 40 minutes later. After a few minutes they loaded my car up and we made arrangements that they would call me the next morning with details.
I handed my carkeys over and watched Latte disappear into the night.
"Ready?" Adrian asked. He was already standing next to his car and had opened the passenger door for me.
"Ready" I said and walked over to him.
He closed the door when I was on the seat and quickly went around the car and got in, too.
We drove to his place in silence, but my mind was anything else but silent.
I was going to spent the night at Adrians place. Nervousness was slowly creeping up on me.
I shouldn't be nervous I told myself.
It was already late, I was just going to sleep and in the morning I would hopefully get my car back.
That was it. No need to be nervous.
It was just Adrian.
Just Adrian. Who was I kidding.
Even sitting next to him in this car was overwhelming me at this moment.
I knew I wasn't supposed to think like that. I knew I wasn't supposed to have any kind of feelings for him.
This was business . Palm Springs was business.
But being completely honest to myself, which I didn't allow myself to be most of the time, I knew I was playing with fire.
He parked his car in front of his apartment and gestured me inside and so I did.
It was pretty tidy and I was a bit surprised by that. I had been here a couple of times before, but never unannounced.
"Are you hungry? Do you want something to drink?" he asked when he closed the door behind him.
I shook my head "No thank you" I said and he tilted his head.
"Are you sure? I might even have diet pop in the fridge" he went on and I chuckled.
"Well, how can I say no to that" I replied and he smiled at me, rummaging around in the fridge and than handing me a can.
"So it's friday" he stated and I nodded.
"What would you normally do on a friday evenig?" he asked.
"Sleep" I said with a chuckle.
"How about you? I'm even shocked you are not at a party or anything" I went on.
He wiggled his eyebrows.
"Well we could bring the party here" he said and a frowned.
"What do you mean?" I asked carefully.
He shrugged "I don't know, maybe we could do something... different today"he finished.
"Well that depends. What is something different?" I asked still cautious.
He watched me for a moment.
"Have you ever heard of the game Never have I ever" he asked.
I laughed "Actually I have" I replied and he raised an eyebrow.
I was almost feeling a bit proud to know what he was talking about. Julia and Kristin had explained it to me a while back. It had come up in one their stories and they always loved to educate me on things like that.
"Really? Intersting" he said, a wide grin on his face.
"Wait, you want to play a drinking game with me?" I asked when I finally understood where this was going.
"Depends. Do you want to?" he replied, leaning against the fridge.
I watched him for some seconds.
"I don't drink Adrian" I than said.
"I know. Maybe you want to make an exception tonight? Since it's the weekend and all?" he asked innocently.
Did I want to do that?
A part of me was excited, the other part was reminding myself, that I was in the apartment of a vampire and that I had no business hanging out with him like that. And alcohol? I really shouldn't.
But on the other hand he made me feel bold. Why shouldn't I let loose only one time in my life.
Didn't I deserve a bit of freedom for once? Or maybe even fun?
I almost laughed at myself. Did I just compare alcohol to fun?
Who was I?
Than, ignoring everything that was holding me back I smiled at him and nodded.
"You know what, why not?" I said and was rewarded with a completely dumbstruck Adrian, something that didn't acure too often.
"Are you serious?" he asked studying me.
I nodded "You keep surprising me" he said chuckling.
He turned around and took two shot glasses out of his pantry.
Than he opened the fridge again and presented a bottle filled with a creamy liquid to me.
"Kahlua" he said "tastes like coffee".
I doubted that but followed him to the couch anyways.
We sat down and he placed the glasses and the bottle on the table in front of us.
He shook his head again.
"I can't believe we are doing this" he said watching me with his green eyes that always seemed to be to green.
"You better believe it, cause it's happening" I said, taking my mind of his eyes and he filled up both glasses, still chuckling.
He pushed one glass in front of me and put the second one in front of him.
"Never have I ever named my car" he said, a wide grin on his face.
I rolled my eyes "Really? This is how you are going to play?" I said laughing.
"It is not strange. For your information, your car will get a name after tonight, too" I said and he joined my laughter.
"If you say so, but for now, I think it's time for you to drink" he said pointing at the shot glass in front of me.
I took the glass and chugged it.
I grimaced "That is not coffee" I exclaimed and he laughed.
"You'll get used to it" he said watching me expectantly.
"Your turn Sage" he said with a grin.
I was still tasting the Kahlua in my mouth but pushed it aside.
"Never have I ever... cheated on a test" I said at last and he twisted his mouth.
"Okay that's fair" he said chugging his drink, while I was watching him in delight.
He filled up our glasses again.
"Never have I ever kissed someone" he than said and I watched him for a moment.
His eyes were on me, but I couldn't read his expression.
I had. I had kissed Brayden, obviously and Adrian had kissed me before as well, I had kissed him back.
It was something we didn't talk about. A dangerous topic.
I slowly took my glass and so did he. We didn't take our eyes off each other for seconds and than we both downed the Kahlua and to my surprise it wasn't as aweful as the first one.
Adrian filled up our glasses again.
"Never have I ever been to college" I than said.
He chugged his glass and filled it up again.
"Never have I ever drank Kahlua" he said with a wink.
I laughed "You are doing this on purpose" I said and he shrugged.
"Are you not doing the same?" he asked with smile leaning back on the couch watching me.
God he was gorgeous.
I emptied my glass and so did he.
I was sure I could already feel the Kahlua. Or was it just nerves? Who knew.
He filled up our glasses again.
"Never have I ever... been in love" I said and he watched me surprised.
I instantly regretted my sentence. What was I doing?
Was I sabotaging myself?
And was I supposed to drink now?
He chugged his glass and kept watching me.
"Well, have you?" he asked after a few seconds.
My hand reached for the glass and I was holding it, watching it like the answer was hidden somwhere inside.
Than I watched him again.
"I think so" I muttered, slowly bringing the glass up to my lips.
"Brayden?" he asked when I was done gulping.
I immediately shook my head "definitely not" I said.
"Interesting" he said studying me for some time.
He had one of his unreadable expressions again. And I could definitely feel the Kahlua now.
I shouldn't have skipped dinner tonight.
But who would have thought I would end up playing a drinking game with Adrian.
Not even in my wildest dreams had that possibility popped up in my mind.
No. If I dreamed of him, what actually had happened a few times in the last weeks, my dreams had been more physical.
I blushed even thinking about it.
I suddenly felt warm and removed my blazer, making myself more comfortable on the couch.
I tried to relax and put on a neutral face.
"Never have I ever lied about my feelings torwards someone" he than said and it completely caught me off guard.
He gave me time to process the question whilst he was filling up our glasses again.
I couldn't be sure, but it seemed like he took his time doing it.
To me it felt like an eternity while this sentence was lingering between us and yet it was still too little time to form a response.
He handed me my glass and put his in front of him on the table.
He clearly wasn't going to drink but obviously thought I should.
"Hmm" I said, taking the glass from his hand.
"Hmm" he replied.
I chugged the glass quickly and put it back on the table.
"I'm not lying Adrian" I finally said.
"Didn't you just drink?" he asked with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
I nodded "Yes, because that is what you think" I said.
"Those are not the rules" he said "you are only supposed to drink if you..."
"I just... we can't..." I interrupted him. I was avoiding his eyes.
"It's all good Sage" he than said after a few moments of silence.
I wasn't sure if he had been waiting for me to continue talking but even if so, I didn't know what else to say.
Deep down I knew he was right. I was lying to myself and to him.
Of course there was something between us. And of course I wouldn't dream of him like I did if I didn't feel attracted to him or well, had some kind of feelings for him.
But it was also true, that we couldn't be like that. I was human, he was a vampire.
"Let's continue the game. I'm sorry, okay?!" he went on.
His voice was gentle now almost pleading.
Our eyes met and once again his expression was hard to read. He definitely looked disappointed but what else was there? Anger? Was he mad at me?
I didn't know.
But I knew I was mad at myself.
We sat like that for some time and he finally filled up my glass again.
"Your turn" he said and I gave him a weak smile.
"Never have I ever made a girl uncomfortable" I said and was happy to see a smile appear on his face.
"Good one Sage" he said, chugging his glass.
And I laughed, happy to see the tension between us slowly fading away.
"Truth or dare" he asked than out of the blue.
I looked at him in confusion.
"I don't get it" I admitted.
"I think it's enough Kahlua for you for today" he explained.
I was kind of agreeing with him on that but I still didn't understand what he wanted from me now.
He chuckled "you can choose to answer one question truthfully or dare to do something I'm telling you to do" he explained.
"Well what are you going to ask?" I asked.
"That's the beauty of it. You won't know until you choose" he said happily.
"Did you just make this game up?" I asked.
He laughed "No. It is a common game. Trust me" he said filling up his glas again but not drinking it yet.
"So what is it going to be Sage. Truth or dare?" his eyes were sparkling while he was watching me and his mood was infectious.
"Truth" I than said smiling.
He nodded and thought for a moment.
"Tell me about your first kiss" he than said.
Back to kissing again. I tilted my head.
"Why do you want to know that?" I asked.
"Those are the rules, so please, I really want to know. Tell me. In details please" he said, leaning back on the couch.
I rolled my eyes.
"It's a boring story" I said but he just shrugged.
"It was not what I had expected to be honest. Lips on lips but nothing more than that" I said, remembering my first kiss with Brayden.
He nodded "what were you expecting than?" he asked.
"I don't know. I mean you read about love and kisses in books, you see it in movies, so my expectations were high. But the reality..." I shook my head.
My thoughts came back to our kiss and how explosive it had been. How good it had felt, how he had made me feel.
"I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you had better experiences since than?" he interrupted my thoughts.
"You know I don't know this game, but didn't you say one question?" I said evasively.
"You are very observant" he said with a grin."You are right. I only get one question, so please, your turn" he said, watching me expectantly.
"Truth or dare" I asked him.
"Dare" he said actually looking daring at me.
"Dance for me" I said and he laughed.
"Without music?" he asked but was already getting up.
"No problem, let me find something for you on the internet" I said, my phone already in my hands.
"Okay" he said, waiting for me to find a song.
I didn't really keep up with music, so I just googled dance song and started to play the first song that showed up.
"Will you join me?" he asked.
I thought about it for a moment and than feeling bold and in the moment took my remaining Kahlua glass, chugged it and got up.
"Okay" I said.
He held his hands over his heart in acted shock "Just like that? We should drink together more often" he said.
I gently pushed him and he caught my hands. I looked up into his eyes and he smiled at me.
"Okay, let's do this" he said.
I suddenly felt self-concious. I had never danced to music like that.
Hell I never danced at all.
But Adrian turned me around in his arms and placed his hands on my hips.
My body responded with goosebumps and a fastened heartbeat.
His body was flush against me and he started to move his hips rhythmically.
I tried to meet his movements and to my surprise it actually wasn't that hard.
His hands rolled my hips gently and than suddenly he turned me around so I was facing him. His hands where placed on the small of my back and the skin underneath my blouse burned.
Our bodies were so close together now and our eyes were still locked.
We kept moving together like that for some time until the song ended and with a bow he released me.
I blushed and dropped a curtsy.
"Okay, drinking and dancing. Definitely both. We should put it on our todo list. Maybe we can synchronize our calendars and..."
"Stop it" I interrupted him laughing.
"Like you have a calendar" I continued.
"I get one if that's what it takes" he said quickly.
We were still laughing and sat down on the couch again.
My body was still feeling tingly and in that moment drinking and dancing with Adrian sounded like an awesome idea.
"So I think it is my turn again" Adrian said when we were both comfortably sitting on the couch again.
I was surprised how comfortable I actually was feeling here with him.
Maybe it was the Kahlua or maybe it was just him, but I was seriously wondering why we hadn't done this before.
Than I remembered that I was an Alchemist and before I let myself change my own mood I took his full glas of Kahlua and drank it.
He raised an eyebrow but didn't question me furter about it.
"Truth or dare?" he asked me.
"Dare" I said bravely.
"Mess up your hair" he said with a smirk and I looked at him in disbelief.
"Is that your dare? You think I won't do it?" I asked.
"Prove it" he just said and so I did.
"Impressive" he said laughing "maybe this one was too easy" he admitted.
"You still look beautiful though" he added and I blushed.
"Am not" I murmured.
"You do, if only you could see yourself through my eyes" he continued and his gaze suddenly was more intense than before.
I didn't know what to say so we just looked at eachother for some time.
I didn't know how much time had passed, but it felt like he was looking into my soul, like I was looking into his soul.
It wasn't awkward it was a beautiful thing actually.
"Anyways..." he finally broke the silence.
"Are you hungry? Maybe we should eat? I can cook something for us if you want to"
he said.
Food actually sounded good.
"Cook for me? Well Adrian, I thought your hands don't do manual labor" I teased him.
He cracked a smile.
"Well, mark it in your calendar Sage, an oportunity like this only comes once in a lifetime" he responded witty, getting up.
"Okay, I play along. What are you cooking?" I asked carefully.
"Hmm..." he opened different cupboards and the fridge and turned to me again.
"I wasn't expecting company, so the menu is kind of limited" he said, leaning onto the cooking island.
I got up, too and joined him in the kitchen.
"Let me see" I said and checked the same cupboards he had opened before.
There really wasn't a lot. I found some pasta and tomatoes but that was basically it.
"How do you survive?" I asked dumbstruck.
"Food delivery" he said with an innocent face.
I sighed.
"Okay, sit. Let me try to do some magic here" I said ordering him to sit on one of the chairs on the other side of the cooking island.
Adrians POV
I watched her in comfortable silence while she was boiling water and was cutting the tomatoes. To my own surprise she found some more ingredients in the freezer.
She looked confident in what she was doing.
Cooking wasn't really my forte and once again I was impressed.
Another thing I didn't know she could do.
If she really had taken me up on the offer to cook for her I wasn't sure if the results actually would have been eatable.
I would have tried though. For her I would have tried.
This night had been more than interesting already.
Sydney drinking was something else. I still couldn't believe I got to spent so much time with her and that she was here with me and more open and relaxed than I had ever seen her.
I had always known it was in her.
There had been a few occasions where she had allowed herself to be her, but they were always too short and most of the times she had put up her guard again quickly when she noticed it.
Especially after our kiss she had been more guarded than before.
And up till tonight I had been afraid, that that just was how she would be with me from now on.
Seeing her like this now gave me hope.
There definitely was something between us. I hadn't imagined it.
I know she was scared. But my feelings for her were strong and I was patient. At least with her. She was worth it.
Sydneys POV
I handed him a plate and he looked impressed.
"That looks good" he said and a warm feeling spread through my body.
"I hope you like it" I said and joined him on the chair next to him.
Normally I didn't endulge in pasta but since I already had drank alcohol today I would just treat this day like it didn't happen at all. At least caloriewise.
"It's delicious" Adrian said after his first bite.
"How did you do that? This really is magic" he said and I blushed.
"Thank you. Happy you like it" I replied. I had to admit the food really tasted good. Especially keeping in mind I didn't have many options.
When we were done eating, Adrian cleaned the plates and I was surprised about that. So he had been doing some manual labor after all.
"Are you tired?" he asked when he was done.
"Not yet" I said.
It wasn't a complete lie.
I was actually having more fun than I could remember ever having.
I felt normal for once. I felt my age.
Plus I wasn't ready to end this night with Adrian yet.
"Good" Adrian said and extended his hand.
I looked at it, than looked up into his face and than took it without thinking further about it.
My hand felt small in his hand but it fit perfectly.
He pulled me down from my chair and pulled me back to the couch.
We sat down and he didn't release my hand.
I watched our hands and watched how his thumb carefully caressed my skin.
There they were again. Goosebumps. I just couldn't help it.
Way to soon he slowly released my hand after all and the physical loss was almost painful.
"Truth or dare?" he asked and I laughed.
"Truth" I replied.
"What was the scariest dream you ever had?" he asked.
"Probably that spirit dream with you" I replied.
He frowned "Really?" he asked.
I nodded "The magic is just something I really had to get used to" I admitted.
"Does that mean it isn't scary for you anymore?" he asked.
I thought about it.
"I wouldn't say not scary at all...but I'm not terrified anymore. And I... I'm not scared of you" I said.
He smiled "That is good" he stated.
"Truth or dare?" I asked him.
"Truth" he said and I smiled.
"Have you ever cooked in your life?" I asked and he laughed out loud.
"Well, I tried. It never went that well. Maybe you can teach me sometime" he said.
"Maybe" I agreed mirroring his smile.
"Let's put it that way, I'm happy you cooked. The last thing I would have wanted, is one of us in the emergency room, because of food poisoning" he continued and I laughed at that.
We were exchanging a few more questions and after some time I couldn't suppress a yarn anymore.
"Do you want to sleep? I can get the bed ready. I will sleep on the coach" he offered.
"You don't have to do that" I replied. "Your bed is enormous. There is enough space for both of us" I went on without thinking. "Or you know. I'll sleep on the couch" I said quickly.
"It really isn't a problem. You didn't expect company" I finished.
He gave me a look that said no way in hell was that going to happen.
"You are my guest. It's either I sleep on the couch or we share the bed. Hands above the blanket, no funny business" he added and it made me smile.
I believed him.
"Okay" I said.
"Okay I sleep on the couch?" he asked.
"Okay Let's go to bed" I replied.
He smiled at me and my heart skipped a beat.
"Do you need anything?" he asked me. "Like I don't know. A shirt or something?"
"That would be nice" I said and he quickly got up.
He returned a few moments later with a T-shirt and sweatshorts.
I took them and went to the bathroom.
I inhaled deeply when I closed the door behind me.
I was going to share a bed with Adrian.
My heartbeat quickened and I took another deep breath.
I slipped out my clothes and dressed myself with the items he had given me.
The shorts were too big on me, but I manage to make them a bit tighter around my waist.
The shirt was reaching my upper thigh and I wasn't happy with my appearance at all.
It didn't matter.
I was just going to sleep. I shouldn't concern myslef thinking about how he would see me.
It wasn't important I told myself.
When I came out of the bathroom Adrian was already in the bedroom and I stopped in the doorframe.
"I know, I look ridiculous" I said blushing.
"You look adorable" he said and there was no humor in his voice. He sounded completely honest.
"Which side do you want?" he asked pointing to the bed and I shrugged.
"On which side do you normally sleep?" I asked.
He pointed to the right side.
I nodded and tiptoed to the bed quickly. I slipped under the cover and he joined me soon therafter.
He turned out the light and now the room only was dimly lit by a streetlight outside of the window.
He only had one blanket and I could feel the warmth of his body radiating torwards me.
It was a thrilling feeling. He was so close.
If I moved our legs would touch.
I suddenly wanted to feel him, so I turned a bit. Only a few inches and my leg touched his.
Barely, but it was like electricity was shooting through my body.
I opened my eyes and found him already looking at me.
This time his expression wasn't hard to read. He was surprised. And so was I.
"I can't believe you are in my bed" he whispered.
"A once in a lifetime opportunity" I repeated his words from earlier.
He muttered something that sounded like I hope not but I couldn't be sure.
He extended his hand and caressed my cheek. So gentle, that I could hardly feel it.
"Is that okay?" he asked and I nodded.
It was. It felt good.
"So pretty" he mumbled.
He brushed a strand of hair behind my ear and than followed the edge of my face with his fingertips.
I closed my eyes involuntarily and got lost in the feeling of his fingertips on my skin.
"Truth or dare" I whispered into the silence after a while and his fingers stopped moving.
"Are we still playing?" he asked.
I nodded.
"Dare" he said, intently watching me.
"Kiss me" I whispered and he blinked.
"What?" he asked. His features a mix of confusion and surprise.
"Kiss me" I repeated.
He slid closer to me, his hand now slowly brushing down my arm.
"Kiss you?" he asked, his face only inches away from mine.
I could feel his breath on my lips and gasped.
"Yes" I whispered and than he closed the gap between us.
His lips touched mine for a nanosecond and my eyes closed.
"Are you sure this is not the Kaluha talking?" he asked.
I nodded. "I'm sure. Kiss me...please" I said again.
Maybe the Kahlua had given me the last push to actually admit what I really wanted. But the rest was all me.
He pulled me even closer to him, his hand cupped my face and my body instantly was on fire.
Our lips met and he kissed me.
There were so many emotions in this kiss.
Passion, affection and relief. So much relief. The tension had been there since the last time he had kissed me I realized now and I actually had done a good job in ignoring it the best I could.
But releasing it now was like a huge weight had been lifted from me.
I slung my hands around his neck, pulling him even closer to me and his lips answered with more pressure.
The kiss was warm and gentle yet almost rough at the same time.
I didn't mind. I didn't care who he was. I didn't care who I was.
In this moment we didn't exist as seperate persons anymore.
We were one and I felt complete.
And than my mind went blank and I completely stopped thinking.
