The doors are shut, and so are the curtains, not a rustle to be seen ––– so the parentals are giving her space. That’s GOOD. Though she’s sure it’s killing her dad not to know what’s taking Betty so long to come inside, it’s not like there’s so many things she could be doing.
Her eyes dip bashfully, corner of her bottom lip tugged between her teeth. She nods. He takes a step towards her. Like a dance she knows in her bones, she takes a step towards him. When he touches her waist, pulling her CLOSER, her breath stills, only stirring when his nose brushes against hers. The tension builds like the bridge before the chorus ––– his lips touch hers and the crescendo hits and its every bit as perfect as the promise.
She tries to keep it PG-13, because her parents are only ten feet away, and she doesn’t want Mike to be murdered before their second date. But she can’t resist sinking into the kiss a little longer. She fits so nicely against him, like his chest was built as a landing pad for her fall, like Mike’s hands were made to hold her.
She savors a final taste of his lips before slowly, like a fall leaf’s soft landing, pulling away. “ I had fun, ” she breathes, still in his embrace. “ We should do this again. ” Her smile widens. “ Not just the kiss. The date thing too. ”
“CAN I KISS YOU?” || accepting
