Four Months Earlier...
“Happy 22nd monthsary babe” I wrap my hands around his neck and he kissed my forehead.
“Happy 22nd monthsary too babe” he murmurs in my ears and the way his warm breath touches my skin, sent chills to my body.
Time really flies so fast, who would have known that my relationship with Marcus will get this far? We were only in high school when we started hanging out as a couple, now that we're in college I never thought that it will still be us though we go to different universities.
My hands are still wrapped around his neck and his eyes are staring mine. I feel like he's giving me a come-on-kiss-me-now look but just like before, I feel like I'm not really ready, besides we're only seventeen. It's the age where teenagers are being so adventurous with things. I don't want to cross over the line that my parents have given me.
I immediately drape my hands on my side I don't want to go too far with him, not now, not tonight, not tomorrow, will do it in the right time. I grin to ease the tension but I can see the disappointment in his eyes.
“Don't tell me you're still not into it Kate” he said upset.
The grin in my face slowly fades. I thought of this day to be perfect but now I guess I just ruined it with that stupid kiss that I can't give him.
He runs his hands through his hair in exasperation.
"My God Kate it's been a long time since we've been hanging out as a couple but all we do is hold hands. “ He stopped.
“Oh no wait! You don't even want me to hold your hands in public”.
I rolled my eyes at him. He's so insatiable and that thing on him makes me feel so irritated. I don't get him, what's the definition of love for him? Pure physical attraction? That if you both don't touch each other then you're not an official couple?
I tried to be calm. “If you really love me you can wait for those things right? Besides you know my reasons.” I mutter meekly.
“Yeah, I know. I'm sorry, I love you Kate” He kissed my forehead then leaves. I could hardly understand him today. What brought him the act?
