I wish you loved me in the ways I did.
I didn't want someone else, not him, not her.
You
So why couldn't that happen? Why couldn't you love me?
Was I really that bad?
Was it that easy to let go of what we had?
I don't know..and that's the problem.

After the beach, Leo and I decided to walk around. The amount of shops around the beach were endless. Us being the indecisive people we were, it took us forever to pick something. But in the end, a book store caught our eye. Right when I walked in my jaw almost dropped. It was the kind of book store you'd see in movies. The walls had built in shelves that went up to the ceiling. Leo was smiling ear to ear at the sight, and honestly so was I.
"Wow." Is all that I could muster out.
It was absolutely beautiful. Many people seemed to agree as the store has a lot of others inside. Leo took my hand, leading me through each part of the store. I wish I could say we didn't spend too much money, but we both did. I got all kinds of books. Romance, horror, mysteries. Everything you could ever think of was here. Including free coffee. I'm not much of a coffee person, but Leo is.
So when he saw the stand, his eyes lit up with excitement. I watched in awe as he went to work making coffee for the both of us. "I know you don't like coffee." He says, turning around. "But you will love this." He adds, looking at me. My hand meets the warm cup, staring at it hesitantly. He just sat patiently, waiting for me to drink it.
I finally did, tasting the whipped cream and hazelnut flavor. It was amazing, and Leo could see that. "Yes!" He said standing up in victory. "I knew you'd like it." He smiled, his green eyes swirling with happiness. I couldn't help but smile too, I loved to see him so at peace. So okay with the world, and what it offers.
"Thank you Lee." I said as I took his hand. He grabbed his cup of coffee with the other as I led him around. I took him to the back of the store, where all the older books laid. I stared at each one, dust accumulated on the covers. Not a single soul was in the back, which came with its perks. We were alone, and It was quiet. I loved quiet, and so did he.
Suddenly, he took my coffee cup. Placing it down on the table, as well as his own. Arms wrap around me, covering my body like a blanket. I return the gesture, holding on tight as he backed me against the table. I close my eyes, feeling his hands push my hair away.
His lips meet my neck, kissing lightly. I smile, hugging tighter. He just laughs, kissing further down to my collarbone. I can feel his smile against my skin, spreading emotions through the both of us. "Do I make you nervous Kenna?" He asks, clearly being a tease.
I want to push him away for that statement, to show he wasn't getting to me. But he was, he was driving me insane. It's crazy how just the simple things he does brings me over the edge. My hands meet his face, leading him back up. I don't wait for him to look up at me, I just kiss him. My body presses against his, causing a heavy moment. I could have kissed him much longer, and enjoyed the alone time. But after that comment, I was gonna show him who won this.
Just as he was about to deepen the kiss. I pulled away, walking away with my cup of coffee. I could feel his eyes on me, so I turned around. Keeping a distance as he reeled in shock. "Why are you walking away?" He asks, coming further. "Just wanted to mess with you." I smiled. He took that as a challenge, because within seconds he was storming over to me.
I didn't even get a chance to think, it all just happened so fast. First his hand was dragging me toward the very, very back. And now he was pinning me against a bookshelf. I was expecting just a peck, but he doesn't pull back at all. Instead, the tip of his tongue slides across my lips parting them slowly. His mouth was warm, and that made me lose it.
♥
I felt everything, his hands running up my thighs all the way to my back, and soon digging into my waist. His lips killing me. I hate how easy he makes me lose all self control. Lee, no one kisses me like you do, not a single person. I never want to feel this way with anyone else, just you.
♥
Five minutes pass, and we finally part. I open my eyes to see his. Heavy breaths collide, and hands leave. But just for a second, because soon I'm being pulled into his arms again. I immediately hugged back, smelling his cologne. "I love you Kenna." His smiles, leaning further into the hug. "I love you too."
I wish we could have stayed there forever, surrounded by books and nice coffee. Holding each other like this for way too long, But we had to leave the store sadly. Luckily, the fun didn't end there. Whenever he drove me home we blasted music, singing our hearts out. It was just a really fun night, and even when we got to my door it didn't end there.
Well It was going to, but my mom is how she is and insisted on him coming inside for dinner. She talked to him about all sorts of things. I loved the fact that my family liked him, it made things a lot easier since they trusted him. But man could they be chaotic. Darren and Charlotte were playing just-dance. My dad was yelling at the tv because his football team lost, and everyone was talking.
I guess that's my family so, It is what it is. I'm just glad that they like him. Today was a fun day, and I'm glad I got to spend it with Leo.
