The tingling sensation flowed through my cheeks and the rest of my face.

His warm soft lips hesitated at first but eventually kissed me back harder.

Alex's arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me closer to him, my hands moved round to the back of his neck as I held his head in placed and kissed him like there was no tomorrow.

Nothing else mattered at that moment in time.

I'd forgiven him for his mistakes and just wanted a fresh start. Once I'd made a pact with myself to forgive him I initially just wanted us to be friends and stay that way.

But after tonight I couldn't help but need more. My feelings would've erupted if I had carried on lying to myself and only stayed friends with him. I had to take matters into my own hands and try again.

I know it was probably wise of us to just stay friends and not try anything romantically again. But the tiny selfish part in me just wanted to be that person in his life who he'd go to straight away whenever he had a problem, I wanted to be the person he cradled in bed and kissed Goodnight. I wanted to wake up to his perfect face and his strong scent.

I wanted to be his again.

I love this man with the entirety of my heart inside of me, I couldn't help but fall more in love with him everyday despite our past.

I pulled back from him slowly and pecked his lips one more time as I couldn't get enough.

I breathed shakily as our faces were inches apart and I flickered my eyes open slowly.

Alex was wide eyed and it was like I'd sucked the words right out of him.

"I never stopped loving you." I breathed out as it came out quietly like a whisper.

"Neither did i." Alex sighed back.

"I can't stay away from you..romantically, us being friends won't work for me..I love you too much and it's taken my all to stop myself from just doing this with you, all night...I couldn't take it anymore I had to..." I said quickly still attached to him and our noses brushing.

"Me too.." Alex sighed smiling softly.

I leaned forward and kissed him again, it was short but soon Alex pulled me close to him, the only friction between our bodies was put pieces of clothing.

He deepened the kiss and I fell right back down the rabbit hole.

As we pulled back for breath I giggled.

"What?" Alex said grinning down at me as I removed my hands from his neck and the swung back down to my sides.

I brought my thumb up to his lip and wiped some of my lip liner that had smudged over his bottom lip.

He stared deep into my eyes and smiled softly.

"Stay?" I asked him quietly as I pulled my hand away from his face.

"You sure?" Alex said.

"I couldn't be more certain" I said smiling.

We walked up my drive and I unlocked my front door and picked up my bag.

"Why were yer bag on the floor?" Alex asked chuckling as he stepped inside.

"I kind of..dropped it once I'd decided I was gonna run back and kiss you" I said as I locked up my front door.

"Ah." He said grinning.

Alex was in my grey sweatpants that he'd always wear round mine and had a white t-shirt of mine on too.
