|Missing Love|

Chapter 18

*Shelby's P.O.V*

Alden carefully laid me down on his bed as he started to take off his shirt. Then when it was on the floor, he was on top of me and then pressed his lips onto mine.

I kissed his lips back as my hands started to play with his hair. His hands on my waist as they softly touched the bare skin. My shirt was slightly up but not completely off. Our lips touching together felt like fireworks.

I could feel the sparks between us.

It sent this feeling down my spine but I couldn't get enough of it. I craved his touch and his body against mine. Just when his bare chest was touching part of bare body, I could feel the electricity.

It was like lightning. But lightning I couldn't get enough of. He slowly took off the shirt that I was wearing before he moved his hands from my waist to my hair and he started to play with the long strands that were over my shoulder.

His lips kept kissing mine and I still craved the feeling of his lips still there. His lips were soft and it kind of tasted like strawberries.

Then he slowly lifted me up where we were sitting on his bed but still had our lips attached.

We didn't want to let go and hell, I didn't want to.

His hands roamed my body as my hands were on his chest. I could tell that he loved feeling my hands on his body because he would let out a breath even when his lips were against mine.

The sparks that were flickering around us as we were kissing on his bed had made me feel like we were the only two people in this world.

And that we weren't living in a zombie apocalypse.

It felt normal and it felt quite nice.

This feeling between us had made me crave so much more and I had a feeling that he was craving more as well. We both were loving this even if we were just making out.

He pulled away from the kiss and stared right at me. "You're beautiful."

I smiled. "And you're very handsome."

He smiled back at me before he planted his lips right back on mine. We both smiled into the kiss and my hands were right back at playing with his hair and his hands were roaming my back.

We were close to each other and I'm sure we could get even closer.

There was this connection that the both of us had and we didn't want to let go of that connection.

We wanted it forever.

Forever is a long time but he's the only person that I wanna be with. I can't imagine my life without him and I know he's feeling the exact same way.

What we have is special and I wanna feel this special feeling for the rest of my life.

|The Next Morning|

I was currently with Alden, Earl, and Eugene. Everyone here is still trying to figure out how we're going to fix what has happened at Hilltop.

"Do you think that will work?" Alden asked Eugene.

Eugene shrugged. "We won't know unless we try."

I felt a bit uneasy about what Eugene was trying to say. I'm not good at construction at all, that was Alden and Earl's thing. Not mine.

Alden was wearing a grey shirt with what looked like a denim jacket over it with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He looked really good.

"Normally, my chief concern would be the hidden beauty of the grain, but with quantity being of the essence, rift and quarter sawing it'll be." Eugene said.
