My Bestfriend's Brother Shouldn't Know How I Taste free chapter novel Chapter 60

Bailey's pov

The sudden whirl of words out of my lips made Kaleb pause. He peers down at me silently, shock swirling in his gaze.

Until perhaps my words had finally registered.

The confused line between his brows pull apart and a light of happiness glowed in his irises, making me catch my breath. And then a growing beam spread on his face and I knew that he had captured my heart forever then.

A gasp push out of my lips as I am suddenly in his arms, warmed by his affection as he lifts me higher with a happy cheer tumbling out of his mouth. He hugged me, shouting 'yes!' as he looked up at me with a soft gaze.

I can't help but giggle through the tears, cupping his face as a wide grin spread across his lips. His eyes sparkled with happiness and disbelief. " Please tell me this isn't a dream." He whispered, hugging me tighter as though I would disappear in any moment.

My heart thrust against my chest and I run my thumb over his cheek, smiling down at him before leaning down and kissing him on his lips. He responded instantly, softly taking my lips and sucking my bottom lip gently.

The kiss is warm and something about this one feels a bit different. I wasn't sure but it felt like a promise. And as Kaleb kissed me more tenderly that mirrored the gentle crashing of the waves in the distance, I knew what that promise meant.

It was the beginning of us. Together.

A promise that we would make things work.

A promise of us.

I sighed in the kiss, slowly pulling away to whisper on his lips. " I'm sorry it took so long for me to say yes." I opened my eyes and our eyes connected. Blue meets blue.

A jolt shot straight through my heart and in an instant I knew that he was mine and I was his.

He cupped my cheek tenderly, his eyes revealing his emotions so well. The loving gaze had me practically melting in his arms. He rest his forehead on mine, letting a soft brush of air pass through his lips.

He traced a pattern on my cheek as his eyes peered into mine as if trying to capture this moment in his memory forever. " I'm sorry it took so long to see that you were always the one I want," his words came out faint.

The world seem to just suddenly pause, as if it too wanted us to savor the moment between us. I smiled, my eyes flickering to his lips. " Well at least now you know." I teased, laughing lightly as I return my gaze to his.

He grinned, his eyes twinkling. " You know what that means right?"

I bit my lip, tilting my head and breathed out. " What?"

With a lazy smirk on his lips, he brushed our lips will whispering. " You're now stuck with me."
