Recap:
He looked at me seriously. He looked directly in my eyes, and he drew me in. He slowly leaned in closer, and closer. He lightly grazed my left cheek with his lips, and made his way to my ear. His light breath tickled me.

And what he said ignited me.

"Babe, yes you do."

Mark's hand slowly made his hand to my thigh, and lightly squeezed it. He seemed unsure with his actions. He was testing the waters to see if I'd mind. I'm in shock, and I don't want to pull away.

He drew light circles on my thighs, and looked in my eyes for the second time that night. He slowly moved his head closer to mine. His hand moved a tiny bit up once again testing his limits.

He was so close to my face I could take in his scent. His Cologne smelled wonderful. I wish I could smell it every day. He slowly leaned in even more, and his lips ghosted mine. Not touching them, but it so close to doing it. His hand drew light circles on my thigh.

Then it hit me. I put my hand on Mark's chest, and lightly pushed him.

"I can't do this..." I said looking away.

"I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable Mali." Mark said sadly.

"You didn't...it's just..."I thought of a good way to word what I was trying to say.

"We just met each other, and I'd like to get to know each other better." I looked at him.

"I understand. I'm sorry." He sadly smiled.

"Don't be. It's ok." I reassured him.

"I know it's early, but do you have any type of feelings for me?" He asked.

"To be completely honest...yes I do, but I don't want to rush things." My cheeks started to heat up.

"Good, because I feel the same way...babe." He smirked at me.

I smiled lightly. I'm really happy at the moment.

He handed his phone to me, and I added my number to his phone.

"I'm going to text you every day, I hope you know! In the Morning even at night." He said sweetly.

"Alright Mark." I smirked a bit.

"It's getting late Mali, I think I should go home now." He said sadly.

"It's already late..." I jokingly corrected
him.

"But I do agree. Thank you for staying for a while." I sweetly smiled at him.

He got up and opened his arms. I stood up, and he embraced me. His head lightly sat on the top of my head.
