9|"my wish came true"

| Ethan |

I woke up to the sound of Iris talking on the phone. I sit up on the couch and she's sitting on top of the kitchen island, smiling.

I collapsed back into the couch assuming it was Luke again, and I rolled my eyes.

"No, Dad don't come home early. I'll be fi-" she stopped talking as if she got interrupted.

I was relieved, it was just her dad. I sat up again getting up fully this time.

Her elbow was on her thigh while her arm was placed on her forehead, she was looking at the floor.

"Okay, I love you. I'm safe. Bye." she ended the call sighing, putting her hands to her face.

I walk up to her and put myself between her legs and take her hands away from her face holding them.

"Did you sleep well?" I say looking at her faded black nail polish.

"That was actually the best I've slept in awhile. Having you here makes me feel safe. I always stay up late dreading something would happen." she sighs.

Knowing that I make her feel safe makes me feel good.

I slowly go in for a hug, and wrap my arms around hers, and she does the same. She dug her head into my shoulder sighing.

She wrapped her legs around my waist, still sitting on the counter. I lift her up. We weren't kissing, we were just...hugging.

She looks up at me with her big blue dough eyes.

I wanted to kiss her so bad, more than anything. If I had one wish at this very moment I'd choose to kiss her.

Then, my wish came true.

She leaned in and kissed me.

I didn't hesitate to kiss her back.

I push her against the wall, letting her go, she was on her feet again.

Our lips moved so well together. She tugged on my hair, while I caressed her waist.

She was an amazing kisser.

God, this girl is perf-

She's only kissing me because she's sad, she's lost and feels lonely right now.

I let our lips part. But, our faces were inches away from each other. Fuck, I wanted to kiss her again so bad, but this isn't right.

I stared at her lips. "I think I should go", I say as I let go of her waist.

She slightly nods, gently touching her lips.

I put my hand on the knob.

"Wait, do you maybe want to hangout later?" I say rubbing my head.

"I-I actually have plans with Luke, I'm sorry." She said crossing her arms.

Oh.
