Just A Kiss

(A/N)

Second one! Whoo! Written for one of my BFFs. :)

"I had a really great time today, Zayn."

"Yeah, me too. We should do this again sometime."

I stood outside on my doorstep, saying goodnight to Zayn. We had spent the whole afternoon lying on my couch, watching movies that he brought over. It was our third date, and probably one of my favourite dates ever. It was simple, sweet, and with him.

It just felt right, having him beside me.

When Love Actually finished, we spent an hour just talking. About absolutely anything and everything, from our hair to Liam's phobia of spoons. With anyone else, I would've never been able to hold a conversation for that long, but with him, I never ran out things to say.

When we decided to watch the next movie he brought with him, The Vow, we made popcorn. Keeping the popcorn between us on the small sofa, we both ate, our hands touching as we both reached in the bowl. Somewhere in the middle of the movie, he grabbed hold of my pinkie, entwining it with his among the popcorn. For the rest of the movie, we stayed like that.

For the last movie we watched, Titanic, Zayn pulled me into his chest, holding me tightly. I'm glad he didn't do the cliché yawn-and-put-your-hand-over-the-shoulder move. He didn't have to.

As Titanic finished, we ate dinner, seeing as how it was already dinner time. I had some pasta from yesterday left over, and we decided to heat that up and eat.

Which is how we ended up outside, on my doorstep, neither of us ready to say our goodnights just yet.

We stood there for a little while, in utter silence, under the moonlight, just looking at each other, each of us deep in our own thoughts.

"I don't want to rush this, Leslie. Us," he said, quite out of the blue.

"I-I.. What do you mean?" was all I managed. I wasn't quite getting where he was going with this.

He took a deep breath, continuing. "I really like you, Leslie. I think you're a great person. And, that's why I don't want to rush into anything with you. I want to take it slow. This was our third date, and normally, on a third date, we would've done.. other things."

I giggled, knowing exactly what 'other things' he was talking about.

"I don't want to ruin this."

I got what he was saying, and gave him a little smirk, staring into his chocolate brown eyes.

"So does that sound good to you?" Zayn asked, a worried look on his face.

"It sounds perfect."

He smiled, walking up ad giving me a tight hug. I took in his scent, savouring the cologne he wore and the natural odour he gave off. It was a perfect moment.

He pulled away from me, and gently placed his soft lips on mine. 

Our first kiss.

Who knew such a small move could ignite such a spark?

"Goodnight, Leslie," he whispered as we pulled apart.

"'Night, Zayn."

I waved as he went to his car, then went back into my house.

I knew I wasn't going to sleep tonight.
