Loving Rose (A Scorpose fanfic)

Chapter 4---First day, First "Kiss"

[Scorpius's POV]

It is the first day on the beach, on the beach with my Rose. She is walking deeper into the woods to find breakfast. I want to walk closer to her and hug her so madly, but I can't. No. Not yet. I quickened my pace and walked besides her.

Then, she squatted down to fiddle with some bushes, picking up a berry and munched on it. She plucked another and gave it to me. I smirked, and plopped it into my mouth.

I turned to look at my Rose, who was observing me eat the fruit. Then, I realized, that our faces were so close together, that I just had to move an inch, then our lips will touch. I could smell the fresh, sweet scent of her. This time, she did not look away, I was slightly taller than her, so she was looking at my lips.

I caught her eyes, and I felt the urge to kiss her. I moved closer to her, narrowing the gap, and hesitating with every move. My lips touched the corner of her mouth, it was beautiful, the kiss. I do not have the bravery to kiss her on the mouth, so I decided to kiss the corner.

I held my position for a few long seconds, hoping to let the moment last as long as possible. Then, Rose shrunk back, her eyes full of fear and shock. She turned and walked away, back to the shore, half running, half walking.

Oh no, I must have messed up. I lingered around the bushes where we kissed for a while. Not just letting Rose calm down, but also to let myself think over it.
