Meant To Be

Chapter 7

Sophie's POV

Fitz and I still hadn't moved and it only seemed for our faces to be closer and closer.

We both leaned in, and I could now feel his warm breath on my cheeks.

And soon, our lips touched. His lips were soft, it was as if I was kissing a cloud and I reached to run a  hand through his hair, the other one resting on his shoulder. He placed his hands around my waist and we had unfortunately broken apart. We moved our hands so they now rested in our laps.

Fitz stayed silent.

"I shouldn't have done that," he whispered.

"Why not?"

"Sophie, you're going through a lot right now. Kissing you is the last thing you need at the moment." I looked at the ground. I felt so dumb. Of course Fitz didn't like someone like me.

He grabbed my hand and tilted my head so I would face him.

"That doesn't mean I don't like you. Because I do, a lot, but I think that you need some time. You're in a relationship and a really bad one. I think you would need some time before getting with someone else after going through something like that." Why did Fitz have to be so sweet? But I understood him.

"Thank you for being understanding." He pulled me in another hug and I now wanted to cry even more.

"I'm sorry Sophie." I shook my head.

"Don't be sorry, you're doing this to look out for me. Thank you." Fitz kissed the top of my head and continued holding me in his warm embrace. After a few minutes of that I broke away and rubbed my eyes.

"I think I should probably get going." I say standing up.

"Can I drive you home?"

"No, I can walk. Thanks though." He smiled.

"Of course, and if anything happens with Steve, come to me, or I'll come to you if you'd like."

"Thanks. I'll see you some other time." He had kindly walked me out of the apartment building and I soon made my walk home.

Fitz's POV

I headed back upstairs and thought about everything that happened. I know it was for the best but why did I kind of feel guilty about it?

I liked Sophie a lot. And by the kiss, I know that she likes me too. But it felt so wrong to wait. But with a boyfriend that she has, she needs time to recover. And I was going to wait. Whatever it took. However long it takes. I'll wait.
