Love is in the Air

Bookstore Love Part 2

Leo's POV

I find myself staring at him sleeping. His head is on my shoulder. I always thought it would be creepy watching someone sleep, but I can't tear my eyes away. Santiago is adorable. His lashes are even more prominent on his light skin. I wonder what he is dreaming. His lips turn into a smile. I don't want to move him, but I don't want to scare him either. Does he feel the same way about me as I do about him? My fingers itch to caress his cheek. I tear my eyes away from him when I see the end credits from the corner of my eyes. There's no need to wake him. He'll be fine sleeping on the bed. I think as I get more comfortable and move him so that he is lying next to me. I smile as he moves closer to me and doesn't wake up. I wonder how he'll react in the morning. I drift off to sleep with a smile on my face loving having him this near to me.

Santiago's POV

I curl closer to the warmth with a smile on my face. It's comfy. Why is it moving? I wonder as I feel my arm rising. I listen. It sounds like someone is breathing. Someone that is not me. I open my eyes and see Leo lying next to me. What is he doing here? Then, I remember that we were watching a movie in his bed. I fell asleep? I slept next to him! I can feel my face burn at the thought that crosses that mind. I shake my mind. I take my arm away from where it was lying on his body.

I sit up beside him wondering if I should get out of the bed or wait for him to wake up. I turn to look at him. He has a smile on his face. I wonder what he is dreaming about. He moves his arm, seeking something before I feel myself being pulled down. I hold my breath wondering if he is awake or asleep. His arm tightens around my waist. I let out my breath when I see he's asleep. A smile forms on my lips. I move to get more comfortable. I find myself staring at him.

I feel the warmth moving away. I move closer to it. I hear a chuckle before I open my eyes to see Leo staring at me. I feel my face heating up at realizing that he saw I was moving closer to him.

"What?" I ask.

"Good morning, snuggler." Leo teases.

"You're mean." Did I just say that? I ask myself.

"You're cute."

My face heats up more. "I'm not."

"I hope you slept comfortably." He smirks.

"Y-yeah." I reply. He hasn't broken eye contact.

"Do you want breakfast?"

I nod.

He leans closer.

What is he going to do? I run my tongue over my lips.

He learns closer not breaking the eye contact. He gets closer. At the same time his arm gives way causing

He brings his lips to mine brushing them over mine.

Leo's POV

He lets out a gasp. I press my lips against his. His eyes are half close and he brings his hand to my neck. His tongue runs over my lips before he closes his eyes. I don't think he realizes he did it. I take the opportunity to slip my tongue into his mouth. He pulls my hair as the kiss gets more heated. My hand grips his side. I graze his bottom lip before I break the kiss gasping for air. He slowly opens his eyes. I can see when he realizes what happened; his eyes go wide and his hand falls from my body. If I wasn't over him, he might have ran out.

"I--I'm--"

"I kissed you. You kissed me back. I like it. I like you. You like it."

"I--"

He's panicking. There's only one thing that will keep him here. "Will you be my boyfriend?"

"What?" He asks unbelieving.

"Be my boyfriend."

Slowly, his expression changes. His kissable lips from a smile. "Yes!" His dimples show on his face.

"Yes." I state before leaning down to kiss his dimples and then his lips. Both of his arms go around my neck. "Now, I'm never letting you go." I whisper against his lips.

He starts laughing, "I'll be going wherever I want." He teases pecking my lips.

"You never answer my other question." I smile.

"What other question?"

"Do you want breakfast?"

He starts laughing, "That's a dangerous question. I did answer. Yes, I do." He replies.

"Let's make breakfast together." I say picking him up.

"I can walk you know."

"I know." I say.

He lays his head on my shoulder. I smile thinking of where I could take him on a date. "I'm taking you on a date."

He smiles my favorite smile. "When?"

"Tonight."

"Didn't you have to finish work?"

"It can wait. Now that you accepted to be my boyfriend I have to spoil you."

"Work is important."

"It will never be more important that you."

He responds by giving me a kiss that has me wanting to pin him against a wall to show him how strong my feelings are for him, but I'm afraid he'll get scared if he knew.
