Perhaps I felt threatened by Jasmine's presence. Or perhaps I finally came to terms with my feelings. Or maybe the ambiance was just right.
Giving myself to my probational boyfriend was a leap of faith, to say the least. Yet I was well aware of what I was doing. I did not resist it.
No, it had to be because I fell in love with Colin. And this love ran deep in me. It was rooted in my heart. Perhaps I took it for granted because it was Colin.
And tonight, I would give myself to him. I would become his. It felt rather romantic but nerve-racking. My heart was pounding so loudly.
Slowly, the urge to flee waned. Replacing it was the feeling of anticipation.
The main lights in the room had been switched off. Only two bed lights remained. The dim room was shrouded in mystery.
When I left the bathroom, Colin was looking at his phone, topless. His muscular body continued to entice me. Maybe he was born to seduce humans.
When he heard me, he lifted his head, and his flawless face flashed me a gentle smile. His eyes could illuminate the night sky. Within them, I saw love and passion.
My heart began to beat even faster. I froze as we locked eyes. Something was brewing in the dark. For a moment, I thought Colin was the Big Bad Wolf. And I was the Red Riding Hood who came knocking on his door innocently. I was walking into a trap.
He put away his phone and sat upright. Then, he patted the space next to him and beckoned, "Come, babe."
Bewitched, my legs moved on their own. I stood next to the bed. Following his instructions, I climbed onto the mattress and lay in his arms. My head rested on his shoulder. If I lifted my head, my lips would meet his.
