The train ride home was spent trying to unravel the knots in my stomach as he pressed butterfly kisses to my neck. I melted under his touch. I wanted to turn around kiss him until I couldn't breathe but I didn't. I didn't know where that would go, and I was terrified.
The scenery we passed was cloaked in darkness until we came to the Erudite headquarters, and up until that point I had felt like Tobias and I were all alone in the world.
He shifted and suddenly his legs were on either side of me. My heart jumped and I felt heat spreading across my cheeks. My brain felt like it was moving through honey making my though process slow as he pressed his lips to my jaw.
The wind was blowing hard and we couldn't hear each other. We didn't talk until we were back in his room.
I hesitated at the door. I really should be over this fear by now, I thought.
My hands shook as I took off my shoes and I had to shove them in my pocket so he didn't see.
Shit, I'm bad at this, I thought.
Tobias still hadn't said anything, but he looked at me and tilted his head towards the bed. Maybe he didn't need to say anything. I already knew what he was thinking.
He moved to the other side of the room and took off his jacket. The edge of his shirt slid up and I saw a thin sliver of skin above the waistband of his jeans. My heart beat picked up and I looked away.
I took off my jacket and made my way over to his bed. I sat on the blue blanket that I woke up on the first time I was ever in his room. It comforted me to run my hand across it feeling the rough fabric under my fingers.
Tobias noticed. He walked over and knelt in front of me.
"Hey," he whispered slipping his hand over my cheek so his thumb rested under my chin and his finger behind my ear. "If you want, and it will make you less nervous, all I will do is kiss you. Okay?"
I smiled and he pressed his lips to mine, lightly at first, making sure I was okay with it. The weight in my chest released. I kissed him harder, tasting chocolate frosting. We were still covered in it. I doubted that would last for long. His hand slipped up my back and he guided me onto the bed.
The only thought that ran through my mind was, best first date ever.
That's it! That's the end! Let me know what you think!
