First sight~Alexander Stewart♡...(strangers to lovers)

a soft and tender kiss

Y/n's pov:

It's time again. Meeting up with Alex. I stare at my mirror blankly, thinking about what to wear. It's cold but I mean...a cute "do you want my jacket"-moment wouldn't be too bad, you know. However, I just throw on a long sleeved, black top and some dark blue jeans as usual. I know it's basic but I also know that Alex doesn't care. So I don't care either.

I amble through the town and look around a bit. A bunch of shops, posters, people, trees and stuff and at the end of the road: the park. As basic as Alex and I are, we still meet up in the park we first met. Some would call it a romantic thing but I'd rather call it: us not knowing where to meet up.

My phone ,which is currently in my pocket, lights up with a message. I pull it out and open the message, I've just recieved. The pure fact that Bella texted me already pisses me off a bit but the fact that she wants to meet up is even worse. As normally, I come up with an excuse...another lie. So I just tell her I'm a bit sick and then shove my phone back into my pocket.

Once my phone isn't in my view anymore, I look up and search for Alex. Surprisingly, I can't see him, which is wierd cause he's always on time. I look around rapidly: A bunch of trees that start to lose their leaves, some kids playing with a red ball, parents agruing...just when I'm in my trance, trying to find him, I suddenly feel two strong arms wrap around my torso from behind.

A chin rests on my shoulder and a soft breath brushes against the skin on the side of my neck. I look down to see whose arms are currently wrapped around my waist. As I see the rings they're wearing, it's clear: Alex.

I let out a tender chuckle before speaking: "Hi there." The side of his head, covered with dark curls, leans against mine as a soft giggle sounds next to my ear. Sadly, he lets go of my body and lets me stand freely. Obviously, I turn around to face him. At this point we're already so close to each other that our chests are almost touching. With a loving smile on my face I look up at him as his hands run up and down my hips gently.

Nervously, I wrap my arms around his neck, pulling him closer. Our bodies are pressed up against each other as our eyes lock. Both of our eyes are filled with affection and love as they are almost sparkling in the sun. I can feel his breath softly hit my skin as our faces begin to move closer and closer very slowly.

My eyes flutter closed as our faces are only an inch apart for the other. With one last heartbeat, his lips touch mine and create a soft and tender kiss. It's like the whole world around us has stopped and the only thing that matters is us two. His hands keep tracing along my waist as I gently press my lips against his to let some butterflies fly in my stomach. My heart is pounding and my eyes are completely shut as I forget every single thing around me besides Alex.

We hold the kiss for a moment, which feels like hours even though it was probably only a few seconds. As we slowly break apart, my eyelids slowly begin to move again, opening my eyes. My eyes meet his again and lock immediately as we just live in the moment for a second. My heart is racing in my chest as it's pressed against his.

A really tender smile forms with my lips slowly. I keep staring at those beautiful emerald green eyes before resting my head on his shoulder. We keep the warm hug and just let us hold each other.

A while after, we start to just talk like usually, walking in the park and laughing together. As we walk, we make sure to stay close to each other. While I'm talking I feel his hand gently moving closer to mine. First, I look down my hand and then up to meet his eyes again. I stop talking for a moment while our pinkies are locking...and then our whole hands holding one another.

His hands are soft and warm, which is somehow comforting. Mine are cold like usually but they warm up a bit...just like my heart. Only his pure presence brings me so much joy and comfort. I just chuckle softly and we keep walking  hand in hand along the streets...
