chapter 11

It was few minutes past 11pm when James dropped me off at Drew’s place. As usual, he had got out of the car to open the door for me.

This was the second time James was kissing me tonight, but this time around, he didn’t pull back as fast as he did the first time. He started off gently but had increased the pace when I pulled on his hair and kissed him right back, resting his both hands on my waist.
