Jess and Gabriel- First day

Jess and Gabriel-First Kiss

We had been going out for awhile now. Each goodbye to Jess just got harder and harder. She was here in LA for one more week before she headed back to Australia... Again. It had been a long and busy day today and I was worn out. I was sitting on my couch in my apartment with a blanket over me. Jess was sitting next to me on her phone. The TV was on but neither of us were really watching. I heard Jess's phone plop on the couch but I didn't bother to look at her since I was half asleep.

Suddenly I felt like something was being pulled away from me and I was cold I realized that Jess had grabbed the blanket off of me playfully. She stood up and ran to the kitchen and waited for me to follow. I really didn't want to get up. I was exhausted, but she's adorable when she gets all flirty. A boyfriend's gotta do what a boyfriend's gotta do. I looked at her with a fake annoyed face. I stood up grogily and then scared her by suddenly chasing after her. She ran around the island, then ran back around the living room and then we ended up running in circles around the island in the kitchen. I stopped to take a breath because no matter how many times I tried to go around the island and get her, she is always ahead and ends up on the other side.

I sighed and looked at her beautiful blue eyes and her playful smile. She laughed at me. I made one last effort to catch her. I ended up grabbing the blanket that was around her shoulders which pulled her backwards with it. Her back bumped into my chest and she started trying to get away but my grip was tight around her thin waist. She laughed in defeat.

She turned around and looked up at me and smiled. We ended up hugging. I don't know when or how this happened, but we stood in the kitchen with a blanket wrapped around ourselves just feeling the comfort of the other. We soon started to sway back and forth. I pulled away a little and looked at her with a smile on my face.

"Its like we're dancing" she said in her absolutely adorable accent.

"Yeah" I laughed, a brilliant idea came to mind, " hey Alexa, play slow dance music" I let out a chuckle, knowing that there was only an extremely slight chance of Alexa playing slow dance music.

After I called out to the piece of technology called Alexa it turned on and started playing an instrumental. We both laughed, knowing that it was incredible how it just happened to land on the instrumental. Coincidence? I think not. God wanted me to do something... This is my chance. I gotta make a move. 

We laughed a little more and then ended up swaying back and forth again in eachother arms.

Her head pressed against my chest was a nice warm feeling. I just want to kiss her. I felt like this was the right moment to do so, but I wanted to be respectful to her. I didn't know her stance on kissing at this time in our relationship. I had to think of something smooth to say without being to up front about it. Then the words popped into my head. I pulled my head away so that my mouth was close to her ear. I then whispered:

"I guess right now would be a good time to kiss you" I know. It was smooth. I should win an Oscar. It was lit.

At that moment she pulled away. I saw her face mixed with emotions in a split second. I saw shock, happiness, excitedness and a face expression I couldn't even name. I had never seen such an expression on her before. All that happened in a second and then I felt her lips on mine. A warm sensation went through my body, seeming to make everyone one of my body parts tingle. I moved my hands so that they were cupping her adorable cheeks. I pulled away to smile and she returned the smile. I kissed her once more on the lips and then kissed her forehead.

Gosh I love this woman. She is definitely a gift from God.

We were swaying back and forth to the instrumental music that happened to come on at the perfect moment. I loved the feeling of his embrace, I liked hugs in general, but his were special. 

I just wish he would kiss me already. I've waited patiently for awhile now and he hasn't done anything yet. I didn't know what his thoughts were on kissing yet but I know that he'll know when the time is right. I let my body relax against his firm body. My eyes were closed. Then I felt him push away a bit and I heard his soft voice in my ear.

"I guess now would be a good time to kiss you" my heart beat out of my chest. I pulled away from his embrace, shocked that he'd said that as I was thinking about it and I was so happy he had finally asked me! I couldn't contain myself.

I took my chance and pressed my lips against his. My heart was still beating fast but I was relaxed. My whole body felt warm and I had butterflies going around more than just my stomach. His hands cupped my face and we smiled. It ended when he kissed me gently on the forehead. 

"I love you" he said as he kissed my forehead again, but softer.

"I love you too" I went on my tip toes and kissed him on the cheek.

I love this man. I love him so much. I couldn't even imagine my life without him.
