Chapter 5: Close
"Oh, she knows what I think about,
and what I think about,
One love, two mouths.
One love, one house."

Just as before at my house, he leaned closer, except I had different feelings before. Then it was just loneliness and he was good-looking, but now I felt a small string of connection between me and him. We were so close I could see each individual eyelash and how if you looked close enough, you could see a few freckles graced his cheeks.
His tight, but careful grip around me assured that this time there was no knife. My mind was no longer in control of my body as I wrapped my arms tighter around his shoulders. I closed my eyes hoping this time it wasn't a game. "It was never a game," I swear I heard the breeze whisper.
In what felt like hours, but was only seconds, the smoothness of his lips met mine. My mind freaked out, I couldn't tell if it was good or bad, but the blossoming feeling in my stomach had me going in the "good" direction. I felt a twinge of pain in my stomach, then it was gone.
Everything felt right, so right. I was frozen in place, his lips kissed me but for some reason, I couldn't kiss him back. This was all new to me and so many emotions and feelings were dashing through my heart and mind. He stopped and took a step back, looking at me questioningly. A small spark in his eyes faded and they returned to their dull color, which was strangely growing on me.
Finally getting control over myself, I cautiously eased forward. The grass sending tingles along my feet. When I stood as close to him as before, I breathed in and took his hand. Then I carefully kissed him. My lips lightly touched his mouth, as if I was scared to kiss him like he had kissed me just now. A feather could not have been lighter as I was in this moment.
That moment was the first step to finding out the truth, I just didn't know it. I stepped back and his hand dropped, then reality came back with a slam, higher and harder thanfalling off the cliff.
The enemy had just held me close and kissed me. Not only had I let it happen, but I had kissed him back.
