Forced Love

Eight

Shawn ~
To break the tension, I turned over and went on my phone to scroll through my Twitter feed.
"So, what? Are we just going to act like that didn't just happen?" She said with an annoying tone. I looked at her and she avoided eye contact with me.
"Sorry," I put my hand at the back of my neck,"I've just never had someone like me...."
"Oh," she moved back a little,"sorry."
"Well, now we just have to accept that fact."
"Of what?"
"We're both somewhat okay with marrying each other."
"Oh yeah, right."

That Night:
Shawn ~
"You make a mean pasta, Shawn!" Alyssa said, gorging down the Alfredo pasta I made. "Well," I said, standing up and putting my plate and fork in the sink," I'd hope it would be."
She smiled and wiped the sauce off from her cheeks with a napkin.
I grabbed a Sprite can out of the fridge and sat on top of the counter. Alyssa sat next to me.
"You look really nice." I told her. Her cheeks blushed and she smiled.
Her smile alone lightened up my heart.
"Thank You." She said shyly. I've never seen her act so shy before, not even on the first day we met. She always seemed peculiar, but I could never put my finger on it.
"Follow me." She hopped of of the counter and walked onto our balcony as I followed.
She leaned against a beam and looked out onto the busy streets.
I stood next to her and did the same.
"Hey Shawn...."she said. I turned to her.
"Yeah Aly-" She cut me off by pulling me closer and kissing my lips. Well, that definitely didn't catch me off guard. I gave into her and kissed her soft lips.
I put my hands on her hips and she put hers around my neck.
She pulled back from the kiss and locked eyes with mine.
"Wow," she smiled," you're a good kisser."
She licked her lips. "Want to do that again?" Without a verbal reply, she began to kiss me once more.
