Chapter 11

My heart nearly jumped. "Wh-What? Are... Are you serious?" I stuttered, my lips already pulling up into a relieved smile. I was so happy to hear those words come from him. As soon as he nodded with the confirmation I sought out for, I pulled him towards me and went in for a kiss.

"Never lay a hand on me unless I say so."

I found myself remembering that phrase. I stopped any further movements and stared at him with uncertainty. Of course, I was undeniablly joyful but he made me promise that I won't touch him without permission.

His eyes were half-lidded and his gaze was pointed down towards my lips. Growing self conscious, I stuck my tongue out and licked said lips. "May I..?" I asked quietly.

"Yeah..."

I then tugged him closer and connected our lips. Oh how I missed them... How I missed him. Now we're dating? It's like a miracle foud it's way to me... Like good karma. I'm extremely grateful for this since I'll finally be able to kiss him in public! We'll be together officially!

His lips moved in sync with mine, still chapped yet irresistibly supple. The kiss wasn't sexual at all either. It felt more intimate and lively. I could tell he was putting his all into it and that alone made me giddy with more joy.

I pulled away from him and sighed with relief. "So we can be together now?" I asked, silently asking for him to confirm my inquiry. He just nodded like he did last time and I smashed our lips together again. I am so happy I can't explain how rapid my heart is pumping...

We remained there for another minute, kissing in each other's arms before I pulled away with a string of saliva connecting us. "What would your father think?" I softly whispered, raising a hand to stroke his hair. It was less curly when untamed and it was more wavy and straight. I liked it this way... It's easier to fumble around with.

"I... I think he'd be proud of me, finding someone as charming and as caring as you." Harvey replied, looking up to me with a glint of sadness in his eyes. But, besides that sadness was hope for our new relationship. He's so cute... I just want to be his forever..

"Please be mine." I requested softly, watching as his face heated up with a blush.

He looked away stubbornly with said blush growing by the second. He asked almost inaudibly, "Which way..?" I just chuckled, realizing what he meant by that. I leaned over and grazed my teeth along his earlobe. He obviously shuddered at the contact and drew closer to me.

"Whichever way you want. Technically we are the legal age for that kind of thing but along with that comes a few annoying obstacles." I explained, deliberately stating it broadly. He looked up to me with confusion laced within his upturned gaze.

"What are the obstacles then?"

Yeah, I knew he'd ask that. "Well, the main one is that you father died recently... Doesn't that make you feel depressed? I'm not sure if sex will help with that." I told him, a bit unwillingly since I pulled up a highly senstive subject. He just quietly glanced to the side as if he were thinking about it.

"But it's a good distraction, which means it'll easily get my mind off of dad.." he protested, almost as if he wanted to actually... No. He couldn't. I don't see him as that kind of person. Good thing the mentioned route or "distraction" has more obstacles than one.

"And there's the fact that you live with your eight year old sister and if she hears what we're doing, we'll be in a pretty tight situation." I added, watching him huff stubbornly. He didn't seem irritated, just rather impatient. I felt my lips twitch upwards into a small smile.

"There's always your house.." he mumbled, to which I just playfully rolled my eyes at. Wow... So he's really determined on this, huh. "Besides... Audrie is fine being home alone. She knows to lock the doors and protect herself when I'm gone."

"What, do you really want to? Why are you getting so defensive?" I laughed, leaning forward and purring softly into his ear. I felt his hands clutch the fabric of my shirt as I did so.

"I want to." he confirmed, a raging blush rising to his cheeks. I pressed my forehead against his and leaned in until our breaths were overlapping and our noses were just barely brushing. His eyes avoided mine, probably from embarrassment.

"But if we do come to it, I want you to know that, uh..." He paused and seemed to take a short mental note for himself. "I'm still a virgin." he clarified in one breath, the previous blush now spreading to his neck and ears. Well, I kind of expected it to be that way. His reactions and innocence were pretty much hinting at his well-kept virginity.

"That's okay... Me too." I remarked, looking straight forward and into the eyes that were now gazing at me nervously. I smiled and caressed his burning hot cheek. "Frankly, I'm a little anxious as well." whispering softly in reassurance, I found my smile only growing wider.

"Ashton..." he mumbled, leaning forward and pressing our lips together. He moved over so that he was straddling my lap. "I need a distraction and... Nn.." he let out a shy whine when I leaned up and began to softly suck at the side of his neck.

"Are you sure it's only used as a distraction? Don't you like me?" I asked with a teasing tone, looking up at him and nuzzling my cheek against his collarbone. He held his lower lip firmly between his teeth as I noticed a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

"Well, of course I do, but..." he sighed, closing said glistening Hazel eyes. I raised my hands and cupped his face in them, like they were perfectly fitting puzzle pieces. I then gently pulled his face down and left a soft kiss on his lips.

"Then let's wait until we're both ready."

End Of Chapter 11

Will they ever be ready for that?
