"I suppose I should be going," Edward said, though he didn't sound particularly keen on leaving.
He'd been with me for well over an hour now. We'd mostly been talking, getting to know one another better, with a few kisses thrown in for good measure.
Behind his shyness I learnt that Edward was a really sweet guy, incredibly funny,and not to mention incredibly sexy.
And while I wanted nothing more than to spend the rest of the night with him, this evenings events were beginning to catch up on me, and I felt exhausted.
Besides, there was no need to rush anything. It had taken so long for the two of us to finally admit how we felt that I didn't want to ruin it by rushing ahead of ourselves.
Regardless of that logic I still felt incredibly disappointed when Edward gave me one more brief kiss before he told me that he really did have to go. Begrudgingly, I walked him to the door, a sense of unreasonable dread filling me.
Suddenly I was worried about what tomorrow would bring. Where would we go from here?
"Hey, don't do that," Edward says, somehow sensing my concerns. "We've been through this already. No more hiding, remember?" he said, gently taking my face in his hands.
I leaned into his touch as his lips me mine. I felt his tongue sweep across my lips asking for entrance and immediately parted them to allow him to deepen the kiss. The kiss went on and on but when we eventually parted to catch our breathe my eyes immediately met Edwards tortured gaze.
"Okay, I really should go, but I'll see you in the morning." He promised, leaning down to claim my lips in a urgent but short kiss that once again took my breathe away.
"See you in the morning," I replied smiling brightly and feeling a hope that I had never expected to feel just a few short hours ago
AN: Finally we are getting somewhere. Who else can't wait to see what the next update brings?
