My heart skips a beat as his grey eyes meet mine. He leans forwards and kisses me slowly, cupping my face with his free hand. His warm lips are pressed against mine tenderly, almost as if they could shatter with just one wrong movement. He pulls away slightly and traces his fingers gently over my jawline, down my neck and to my collarbone, pressing a small peck on my skin. Our breathing quickens as we kiss again. His hand travels further down my body, resting on my waist."Oh my god... What if people saw us?" I gasp, trying to catch my breath.Ezra smirks against my lips and pulls away completely to look at me. He runs a single finger down my arm and presses a gentle kiss on my shoulder."They won't." He responds confidently."You're going to get in trouble one of these days." I scold half-heartedly.He wraps his arms around my neck and lifts himself to hover above me. He stares at me intently for a second before pressing another soft kiss on my lips."I can always get in trouble an
I am glad to have found Ezra again though. As long as he's by my side I feel safe. He's such a great person. A part of me wonders whether he feels the same way about me. I'm sure he does. I know I feel the same way about him. I just hope that he feels the same about me.I don't know exactly how many times I've slept in the same bed with him. At first I'd had to take a sleeping bag down from our old attic. But then my mom had insisted on buying a new one for her spare room. I ended up sleeping on her couch for three nights before I gave up and decided to move in with Ezra. He was kind enough to let me crash at his place while I waited for a bigger apartment to come along. I felt bad about lying to him. He must have been really worried about me.But it turned out to be worth it in the end, because I got to sleep next to him more often. We usually cuddle together most evenings, just lying awake in the dark with the occasional conversation. We rarely say much, but it's fine. It's a ni
When we finally separate, Ezra rests his head against my chest and breathes heavily. I run my fingers through his hair and start rubbing circles on his back."Are you okay?" I ask quietly."Yeah, I just... I just wanted to get lost in you." He murmurs, pressing his lips to my chest.I chuckle softly, wrapping my arm around his shoulders."You always did get lost in me." I joke, nuzzling his cheek."Maybe." He agrees, giving me an amused grin. "Although maybe this time I'll find something to keep me away from you. If only for a little longer."A strange feeling comes over me. Not unpleasant, but certainly unexpected. For a moment I feel guilty. But then again why should I? That was just a joke. Right?It hasn't escaped my notice that neither of us has mentioned the previous night, not yet. I try to pretend it doesn't bother me, but it does. The whole thing was a little uncomfortable. It felt odd for both of us to go back to the way we were. Especially since it was obvious we weren't
"Wait, Ezra" I murmur."Hmm?" He responds.I sigh and lean forward, brushing his lips with mine."Thank you for telling me. But I need you to understand that nothing you say tonight is going to change how I feel. If anything, you made me fall even harder for you."I say the last part in my most reassuring voice and Ezra grins."Okay." He murmurs softly."Okay?" I repeat incredulously."Alright, I won't push anymore questions. But promise me that if you ever want to talk about it, you'll come to me. No matter what, okay?" I ask anxiously."Of course" He replies. "Now come on, let's finish this mystery story before we go to bed" He adds, pulling me closer to kiss me once more.As we read through the rest of the book, I find myself starting to relax and laugh at all the ridiculous plot points, enjoying watching Ezra's reaction. I can't believe we've spent months without each other and now we're spending two weeks together. Even though things haven't been easy lately, I've gotten used t
We walk over to his apartment building as soon as we finish walking. Once we enter the lobby, we stop and stand silently in front of the elevator. I look at the doors nervously, unsure of what I should do. Should I wait inside with him? Are we supposed to get up to our floor now? Or should I wait outside until he's ready?"Ezra? Are you alright?" I ask quietly.He glances back at me and nods slowly."Yeah. Yeah. Don't worry about it. Why don't you go ahead, I'll follow you in a second." He whispers softly, squeezing my hand.I nod hesitantly and slowly turn around, stepping into the elevator.After a few moments of waiting, the doors open and we step out onto the second floor, heading towards his apartment door. I look at his apartment number before knocking on the door."Come in." Comes a soft voice from behind the door.I hesitate for a moment before twisting the knob and pushing open the door, peeking inside. The apartment is pretty empty and looks like it hasn't been lived in for
"I'm sorry. I should go." I murmur, grabbing my purse and keys from the countertop.I walk over to the door and look at Ezra expectantly, waiting for him to say goodbye. When he doesn't, I finally turn around and raise my eyes to meet his."Why don't you come with me?" I ask in surprise, raising my eyebrows."What?" He asks confusedly."Well, why don't we go somewhere together? Like out for lunch or something. Just the two of us."Ezra stares at me with a mixture of astonishment and hope filling his beautiful blue eyes. His heart is beating rapidly beneath his pale skin. I feel my own heartbeat accelerating too. I know he doesn't like me very much, especially after our fight. He doesn't like the idea of spending time alone with me. He doesn't like being close to me and I'm aware of that, but I think I might be starting to change his mind.We're still standing in silence when Ezra finally nods his head slowly and stands up. He grabs his jacket from the coat rack near the door and put
"I love you too." he mutters in a low voice before connecting our lips once again.Our tongues dance passionately against each other's as Ezra slides his hands under my shirt, caressing my bare skin with his fingers. A shiver runs down my spine, causing goose bumps to form on my skin. I place one of my hands behind his neck while the other holds onto his hair tightly, wanting to feel Ezra's warm touch against my two feminine parts.His fingers start caressing my pink crest slowly, making me gasp loudly at the contact. His thumb gently rubs my hardened nipple, causing another shiver to run down my spine. My whole body feels hot all of a sudden. My breathing becomes labored and my body starts trembling uncontrollably. Ezra seems to notice my discomfort as he stops caressing my two feminine parts and places kisses all over my face, stopping on my lips as he presses his lips to mine briefly, then running his tongue lightly across my bottom lip. I push myself up slightly so that my bac
So instead, I keep watching him, mesmerized by his beauty. The moonlight glows softly outside my window casting an ethereal glow on his skin and making his dark brown curls shine in contrast. His lips are slightly parted as he breathes evenly. I reach out my hand and brush some strands of hair away from his face. I lean down to place a feather light kiss on the tip of his nose before closing my eyes and drifting off to sleep as well.The next morning, we finally end up staying the night.When I woke up, I was surprised to discover that I wasn't alone."Mmm…where did you go last night? You left really early." I mumble sleepily.Ezra chuckles slightly and rolls over on his side to face me."Oh, yeah." He says, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes as he sits up."Where'd you go? Didn't you wanna tell me where you went?" I ask, sitting up as well."Yeah, I did. But I had to take care of something first."He moves away from the bed slightly and reaches into one of the pockets of his jeans,
