Challenging 5 || Ollie Lynch

The sunset's pretty, huh?

*Ollie's Pov*

"So what did you want to talk about?" Ami asked shyly, twirling her hair around her finger. "And are those for me?" She gestured to the bouquet in my hands. My heart was racing, as I rehearsed the words that would make or break our relationship, if you could even call it one. She watches me for a moment, a curious smile playing on her lips. God those lips. "Well, um I need to tell you something." I begin, my eyes meeting hers. "I like you Ami, I really like you. Whenever I'm around you.. everything just feels right. I can't stop thinking about you, and I don't want to. Especially the other night. You mean so much to me, more than I can put into words." I paused for a second to steady my breath, taking her hand gently in mine. "So what I'm trying to say is, can I be your boyfriend?" There, I said it. Shit there's no going back now. I search her face intently, waiting for a reaction. There was a moment of silence, then her face broke into a genuine smile. "I like you too." She replied softly, her eyes sparkling in the orange glow of the sunset. "And of course, yes I would lo-"
"Can I kiss you?" I cut in suddenly. Her pupils dilate, making her eyes appear darker; an unspoken invitation that draws me closer. "Yes, of cou-" Her words broke off when I kissed her. It was like the girl instantly melted into me, kissing me back with an insatiable hunger of her own. She wrapped her arms around my neck, mine resting on her waist with the other knotted in her hair. The daisies long forgotten, laying on the ground beside my feet. All I could see, feel, taste, touch was her. Nothing else mattered. A shiver racked through my body, mirrored within her own, as the kiss deepened, filled with passion. It meant more this time, now that I knew we were committed.
