I'm sitting here counting the green specks in his beautiful eyes while he looks into mine. After sitting like that for a few seconds without saying anything. Then I see his gaze flicker to my lips for a second. It was just enough to set me off.

I place my other hand behind his neck as well and I close the already very little space between us. He kisses me back almost immediately. His hand reaches the small of my back and he pushes me even closer to him. His lips are really soft somehow and I missed kissing him so bad.

We break apart to get some air. All I can do is smile. I missed him badly and this feels pretty damn good. He is smirking, and I love that smirk on him. One of his hands is still in my hair while he moves the other to one side on my waist, slightly nudging me closer to him. I move so I'm sitting on his lap, both legs on one side.

He slightly pushes me closer to him with the hand that's behind my hair and we kiss again. The fireworks that seemed to be stored inside of my stomach have just been put on fire. I can feel them exploding in my stomach. In a good way. It doesn't physically hurt. Would be weird. 

After a few seconds, I pull back again. I look into his eyes for about three seconds with a smile on my face and then I lay my head on his chest. I can't look into his eyes for much longer or I'll surely drown. 

I feel Tal kiss the top of my head softly and I internally melt. He's too cute. I hear his heartbeat through his shirt. I notice the way he smells so good, so exactly like him. I pull my head back from his chest and place a kiss on his collarbone. I hear his breath hitch. I smile, knowing I caused that. It means he can't control his breathing when I'm with him and that drives me wild because that might mean he feels more than just a fraction of the feelings I have for him.

I place my head back on his chest and I really want to fall asleep. I slept so little in the last few days and I desperately need to catch up. That would be rude, though, considering Tal searched for me for a pretty long time. Tal starts playing with my hair and it literally felt like my heart swelled up. I get all warm inside. The things he does to me, without him even knowing...


About an hour later we arrive at my house again. We were talking a bit about stupid stuff in the park and the entire walk back. It wasn't boring, though. It was quite entertaining to hear about the stories of his cat. And our memories of the summer vacation a few years ago. This time I do tell him about how I thought he was adorable the first time I saw him.

I place my key in the lock and I open the door. I walk in, placing my bag on the ground and taking off my shoes, with Tal behind me. My parents are both sitting at the kitchen table reading something. Probably the newspaper, since it's around 11 in the morning now. So typical. 

They look up once they hear my and I see my mom's facial expression turn from worried to relieved when she sees Tal behind me. 'Hey Tal, how are you? Except spending a few days in jail, of course.' She chuckles slightly at her own little joke. I roll my eyes. Hilarious. Can we leave up to my room already?

'Except that part, I'm doing pretty good, Clara. And you? How was your trip to the mountains? I heard from my parents but I hope you had a good trip as well.' Since when does he call her by her first name? Wait... did he just ask her about her trip?

No, he didn't. He did that on purpose. I see his grin down at me and I squint my eyes back at him. He definitely did that on purpose. I make sure not to stare too long or my mom will definitely notice.

Now she'll probably be explaining every single detail of the trip. Like when she saw a cute boy my age, she decided to start talking to him and she apparently showed him a picture of me! Why? My dad told the story and said he was standing next to her trying not to laugh badly. That's just one example of a story Tal doesn't have to know.

'The trip was very nice! It was lovely weather up there, actually! But I see my daughter doesn't want to go through all these stories again, so I suggest you two go head upstairs. No funny business, though!' she says and she winks at the end. Well, that last sentence was embarrassing. 

But apart from that, I'm surprised. Wow, my mom actually read my facial expressions right for once. And on a very good occasion. I smile at her.

'Thank you for saving us your embarrassing stories mom. And we'll head upstairs. Bye mom, bye dad, love you!' I plant a kiss on their cheeks and walk upstairs so Tal will follow me. I want to grab his hand, but don't because otherwise, my parents will see. Or Mouse will and then he'll go and tell my parents. He'd do anything for his favorite cat treats. Even betray the one who gives him most of those.

When we are in my room, I softly close the door behind him. 'Weird question, but can you please smile?' I ask him. He chuckles and then his perfect teeth appear. 'Why?' he asks. 'Because your smile is so adorable and you don't smile often enough.' He smiles again. 'Better?' 'Definitely', I whisper, so he can barely hear. 

I walk closer to him, him still smiling at me. I love his smile so much. It makes me feel better, I don't know why. I cup his cheeks with both hands, and I see him looking down at me still with a smile on his face. I stand on my toes so I can reach his lips and he bends down a slight bit so he's not that tall anymore. I press my lips on his and give him a soft peck. 

I know he wants more so I just grin at the disappointment in his eyes. He shakes his head, with a smile now on his face -I should comment that more often so I can see his pretty smile every day- and sits down on my bed. I sit down next to him and study his face. He looks lost in thoughts.

'What's wrong?' He snaps back to reality and then looks into my eyes. 'Nothing.' I raise an eyebrow and pull my best I-know-something's-wrong-don't-lie-to-me face. He chuckles, probably at my weird expression right now.

'No, I was just wondering when we would tell our parents. Yours seemed pretty suspicious.' 'They seemed suspicious because they are just that.' He chuckles again. I love the sound of his chuckles. That sounded very weird. Nevermind.

'And I don't know, do you want to tell yours? Because if I tell mine, you will probably receive an hour-long lecture about how you shouldn't hurt me and you will have an official dinner with the parents. And my mom will make inappropriate jokes. A lot of them.' He grins at my last sentence.

'I could deal with that. It's worth it if it means I can be with you.' I blush slightly at his statement and then I peck his lips again. He's not that tall if he's not standing. This time he doesn't let me go. He stands up so that he's in front of me and I look up at him with my facial expression asking him what he is doing. He doesn't really give me an answer back, he just grins at me.

He comes close to me, as in really close, so close that I can feel his breath on my cheeks. I look up into his eyes and they have this playful look in them. And he's still grinning evilly. This is not good, is he going to tickle me? He doesn't know I'm very ticklish, right?

Tal then pushes me against my shoulder softly, yet firm enough so I fall back on my elbows. He keeps leaning towards me until he is hovering over me slightly. My heart is racing faster and faster with the second. What is he going to do to me? He comes really close again, so that our lips are barely apart. I lean in so that I can feel them on mine, but in that second he pulls back with an evil grin. I sit up, missing him being that close to me.

I'm disappointed. 'Now you know how I feel everytime you let me go', Tal whispers. I roll my eyes and smile at him. I can't stay mad for long at him. He's just a bundle of cuteness mixed with hotness. Don't know how he does that.
