The Other Me

The incident

He winked at me and I smiled back!

(We were there for a while and
I finally got the lock open after being on his shoulders and him swaying me back and forth and side by side almost tipping me off!

"Alrighty, I got it open" I said.

"Hooray for the wonderful Ashley!" he said.

I laughed.

"Hey can I ask you something?" I asked as he put me down, his hands on my waist. They were gentle but firm.

"Sure" he said, his hands still on my waist.

"Why are you so comfortable with me? Like you just met me."

"Well I think I can pick my girls from good or bad right?" He answered, his hands still on my waist but this time he pulled me closer.

"Then what am I?" I asked, putting my hands on his shoulders.

"You are most definitely a good girl" he said and pulled me so close that I could feel his warmth. And with that he smiled at me.

I smiled back.
His hands were still on my waist and mine still on his shoulders.
He looked me in the eyes, then my lips, and back up to my eyes.

"Go ahead" I said very softly.

He smiled lightly, so did I.

Then something magical happened.
My eyes were closed the whole time.
I felt his lips touch mine. I felt his hands wrap around me. I felt his lips connect with mine even more. I felt myself let my lips do the work. Our lips then moved in sync and we were locked together. He hugged me tight and his chest was so warm I felt like I could be next to him and hug him everyday. I wrapped my arms around his neck. We stayed there for about 15-20 seconds.
We pulled apart.
I slowly opened my eyes.
He let go of my waist and I let go of his shoulders.
I started blushing immediately.

"Awww how cute you're blushing" he said.

"Yea" I said shyly.
He cupped his hand on my cheek and smiled at me.
I smiled back.

"You are so beautiful you know, and I like you, but not just because you're pretty or something, but because I see something special in you. I don't know what it is but I'm gonna figure it out!" He said.

"I like you too" I said

All of a sudden, my phone buzzed.

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry, I have to go" I said in such an astonished voice.

"Ok then, see you at school?" He asked.

"I guess so" I said
And with that I waved goodbye and turned around and left.
