Breathing Again

Drive-in

Rob's POV:

The actor who played one of the other main characters called in sick on Monday aka the first day of shooting, which forced David to improvise. We shot a scene that wouldn't need many props and could be shot at the location we were in but it was a rather short one so we were done at around 3pm already. On the way back to the hotel we passed a drive-in cinema. After the wonderful hours we had spent together this weekend I couldn't stop myself from asking Kristen if she wanted to go. "Uhm, sure, we could watch Avatar 2!", she said while we were on our way to our rooms. We met at 6 and bought a few snacks at the hotel's grocery store before taking the car we had rented last Saturday.

Kristen's POV:

The sun set while the movie progressed and there was a tingle in the air. I caught Rob looking at me from the side, all the snacks were long gone and I couldn't resist any longer. I looked at his eyes and leaned in to kiss him. I was counting on him to be the responsible one to stop me but he didn't. The moment our lips touched for the first time in nine and a half years, it felt like I was finally breathing again after being under water for all this time.

Rob's POV:

When I saw what she was going for after she looked at me like I was still her one and only, all my willpower to stop us from crossing that line vanished in a heartbeat. When her lips met mine after nine and a half years it felt like, like....... breathing again. My whole being came back to life. I pulled her closer to me and eagerly explored her precious body with my hands, my mouth never leaving hers. All the passion, all the love I felt for her was back- or still there. I lifted her up out of her seat and pulled her onto my lap, never breaking away from our kiss.

Kristen's POV:

I had forgotton how it felt to be kissed by him. My body was instantly filled with what felt like a trillion endorphins. I couldn't remember ever being this happy in my entire life. Not even our first kiss could compare to this one. His longing touches, his caresses, his insatiable mouth.... I never wanted it to end, never wanted to go back to reality........ Eventually, we needed to catch our breaths - so we broke apart. "Oh my God", he panted. "What just happened?" I mumbled, still sitting on his lap. "I'm so sor-" I started, but he immediately cut me off: "Don't you dare apologize now. Just don't." He tried to catch my eye, continuing "unless you feel differently about it than I do....".
"How do you feel about it?" I whispered. Instead of replying, he lifted his hand to stroke my hair, he tucked my lose strand behind my ear. His eyes told me what he didn't say out loud, his adoring gaze from back in the days was back. I caught his hand, which was lingering on my cheek and kissed it, enjoying our little bubble. We smiled at each other without saying anything, I leaned my head on his chest and just reveled in the moment.

Rob's POV:

Kristen leaned her head against my chest and I closed my eyes, hugging her tight and stroking her back. The credits rolled by the screen at this point. "I hate to ruin the moment, but I guess we need to get going." I noted. "Right.", she said. I pulled her face to me once again and after a minute of sharing another tender kiss, she climbed back to her seat. The ride back to the hotel was silent, but we both enjoyed it. When we pulled into the parking spot, she asked me if I wanted to come to her room so we could talk. I guess it had to happen it some point, so I accepted and we went up to her suite.
