His face was purple like a grape when she leaned in like that, looking at him like that and how he felt her lips and breath brushing against his partly open mouth. When had she become this bold? Was it him doing this? No, surely not. He couldn’t inspire this kind of a change in her surely.
But he still smiled for her; she said she liked seeing it after all, so why would he deny her something so simple to do?
“I.. I just love you so much.” was all he could say, as his hands found hers, before their lips found one another and he kissed her softly.
Her heart fluttered when his lips descended upon hers, having missed the contact after so many days of being behind that oxygen mask. Her eyes slid closed, feeling a warmth spreading through her chest. She tried showing him through the kiss how much he meant to her, how she needed him and how she offered herself to him, hoping he’d understand it all.
But could lips communicate together like words and even simple hand holding could?
His hands left hers slowly, and she felt his fingers slowly, still hesitantly, as they trailed up her arms to rest on her shoulders as they still held the kiss. They hadn’t kissed this long before, feeling each others lips pressing so closely. Their noses brushed against one another, and she could feel his breath just against her cheeks as he shifted his head slightly.
Jack’s goatee, as well, tickled against her chin as he still kissed her.
Words had never really been his strong point. Once upon a time, maybe, back when he was young and naive to how the world worked. How boastful he’d once been, about how smart he thought he was. How different and unique, before the world in the form of his school mates made him know he wasn’t special. He had become so quiet, so withdrawn. Now a days, thanks to Katelynn he did so much better but sometimes he so easily became that quiet little boy time and time again.
He didn’t want to be that little boy any more. Especially when she was with him. He had to be strong. He had to be. For her. If not her, than who?
Then his mouth opened against hers, and for a fleeting moment it seemed as if he was about to deepen it…
