Travis

"Hey." Travis brings Mary's hand up to rest on his cheek. "I promise you that I have never done that before today. Ever. You are my only."

Her expression softens and her lip quirks up to form a slight smile. She sniffles as she tries to regulate her breathing.

"Breathe, baby, just breathe."
"Wh-who is she? Please tell me."
"Tracey.."
"I cant" Mary chokes on her sobs. "Why? My best friend?"
"I told her to leave. Shes gone okay?"
"How can you do that to me?"

Mary looks up at Travis, into his dark brown eyes. The longer she stared, the harder it was for her to feel angry.

He was so beautiful; his long brown hair that was parted in the middle, his chiseled face which was soft in all the right places, his plump pink lips. 

Mary's tears began to dry up.
"I'm truly sorry. You are the funniest, most beautiful person I know. I made a mistake but I will never hurt you again." said Travis.

As he said this, his hand cupped around her chin and tilted it upward. His thumb circled her bottom lip and pulled it down.

Their eyes met. They stared at each other for a second, something in Travis' eyes seemed genuine, like he really cared. Maybe it was just because she was tired, or maybe it was the compelling smile creeping up his face, but soon Mary pulled him in.

Their lips collided into a passionate kiss which seemed like it lasted forever. Once they pulled apart, a split second lingered before they were on each other again. 

But with each kiss they grew more wanting and hungry for each other. Travis' hand moved from cupping her cheek down to her lower back, squeezing and pulling her closer as if she was a mile away.

Mary instantly melted into the kiss. She felt Travis' soft exhales from his nose on her upper lip.
"We should go inside." Travis said in between breaths.
"Yeah."
