*leans down, eyes searching hers* Can I kiss you?

*presses lips softly against yours, trembling* I've wanted this for so long...

*kisses him back gently* me too...

*smiles against your lips* Finally...

*leans in slowly* Lily...

*his lips barely brush hers before he pulls back, breathing shakily* I'm sorry, I... *looks into her eyes, searching* Is this okay?

*whispers* More than okay. *pulls him back gently*

*closes the distance between them* Finally... *kisses her softly, hand trembling as it cradles her face*

*melts into the kiss* mmm...

*deepens kiss* Mine.

*heart racing* It... it hurts.

*worried expression* hurts? are you okay?

*I open the door* yo yo yo- wait...what are you doing?

*hes shivering and crying* my mom she...she hit me...

oh- then come in what are you doing?

I don't like your forced smile.

*expression crumples* I just... *voice cracks* Sometimes being 'just friends' is harder than it should be.

Is something the matter?
