"Sh!" He placed a finger to my lips. I gazed into his eyes. My breathing turned heavy seeing the intense look in his eyes. I curled my toes in anxiety. I could feel the butterflies fluttering in my tummy.
He sat down beside me, his thumb stroking my skin smoothly. "Beautiful Aurora…" he muttered and came closer to me. I could feel his breath on my face.
Our eyes were locked, I waited for the moment for so long and today it was just a second away.
And here Susan told me that my man was not a man!! Duh! Susan.
I closed my eyes and waited for him to kiss me. And waited...but it never came. I jerked my eyes open and what I saw made me angry to the core.
Gabe was chatting to someone over the phone.
That bloody phone!!! I want it to die a brutal death.
"Gabe.."
"Hmm!"
"Gabe, you were kissing me!"
"Hm."
I gritted my teeth and snatched his phone out of his hands. "To hell with your phone and your commitment!" I told him and placed my lips on his. His eyes broadened. It took him less than a moment to deepen the kiss and by God! I was lost. So lost in it that I forgot to breathe.
He left me only when I couldn't breathe. "That was awesome!!" I said in between breathing. He only chuckled and pulled me in his arms.
"You want to try stuff, Aurora?" He asked in his deep voice and a shiver of goosebumps ran down my whole body.
I hid my face in his chest, I couldn't speak after the daring step. "You are so naive!"
I frowned. "I am not naive. Just a little inexperienced."
"A little? You are a pure virgin Aurora. Count yourself as a fresher in this field."
I slapped his chest and hugged him even more tightly. "I love you, Gabe!" I love you back to the sun and moon."
He kissed my head and in a childlike voice spoke: " I love you more…"
I smiled and closed my eyes, hugging him. The feeling of his arms around me, the warmth of his body gave me a feeling of love and protection. How did I get so lucky!!
I didn't know when I fell asleep but I woke up with the best mouthwatering aroma of pasta.
"Wake up, sleepyhead!" I chuckled and sat on the bed… he held a fork for me to eat from it. I opened my mouth and took the piece of pasta from the fork.
That was when my phone buzzed. I checked it while Gabe started kissing my neck.
My eyes bugged open. Five missed calls!! I accepted the call immediately, "yes dad!"
