Chapter 13 - Keefe

I sat down on the grassy field, but I wasn't looking at the garden. I was looking at Sophie. The way her smile lit up her whole face, especially her golden flecked chocolate eyes, just made me practically melt - especially when the smile was for me. So, I couldn't help but stare as she took in her surroundings and made a cute little gasp. When she noticed I was staring at her, her cheeks turned a light shade of pink. I thought she would step back, or turn away from me as normal, but instead, she laid down on the grass next to me. I let out a breath I didn't know I'd been holding when she came even closer to me and rested her head on my shoulder. I hoped she didn't notice how much my heart raced from that little point of contact. I forced myself to look her in the eye. 

"Sooo..." I said, dragging out the word, "What should we do now?"

"I've got an idea," she smiled softly. And before I knew it, we were both leaning towards each other. In one second, her lips were on mine, and fireworks were exploding through my body. That kiss was everything, and it was right. I felt her heart thudding just as hard as mine, which encouraged me to deepen the kiss. She moved her hands up to my hair, running her soft hands through it. I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her closer, as close as we needed each other to be. Unfortunutely, humans need air to survive, so we pulled away, lungs burning.

 "Wow," was all I managed to whisper. She simply smiled and leaned towards me again. Even the second time, I felt sparks racing through my veins as our lips made contact. This time, neither of us pulled away. We just laid there, being together, because that was enough. It was enough to know that even though others might push us down, we'd be there to pull each other up again. Way too soon, I was yanked away from Sophie. I looked up to see who had done it, expecting an annoyed teacher. Instead, I was faced by a fuming Fitz.

"What. Are. You. Doing."
