it's been a month since we got together, and you've become way more touchy.
you've started kissing me with your tongue, and i'm not complaining. i let you do what you want, giving into your sweet taste and your melodic voice. everything about you makes me want to melt, makes me want to give you the whole world. you make me have hope in everything.
your ex has stopped bothering us, and i have you pushed up against your bedroom wall. you were the one melting under my touch now, and i loved it. i love you. i love the way your eyes sparkled when i said that. i love the way you hold my hand. i love the way you let me kiss you in the hallway whenever i want to.
you pull away from me for a second, looking me up and down. a small smile dances on your lips and i can see the plan unfolding in your head.
"no way," i say under my breath. "we are too young for that."
"oh, come on, anne! we're seventeen, that's old enough," you argue back, letting me kiss you gingerly on the neck. i look at your eyes before rolling my eyes.
you've been begging me for a week now. you want us to do it, but i'm afraid. i'm afraid and not ready. "listen, i'm just. . .i'm not ready yet, babe," i comply.
you sigh and pulls away from me, and i back away so you can get away from the wall. you walks over to your bed and jump on it, and i take note on the way you slightly bounce up. your skirt flies up too, but i'm not some creep. i look away in that second.
you pat the spot next to you. "fine then, at least watch a movie and cuddle with me? i don't want to be alone."
i nod and walk over to you, sliding onto the bed and into your arms. you hold me protectively as you turn on some movie before i turn to face you.
"i'm sorry," i tell you. "i guess i'm not ready just yet." my voice is shaking and i silently curse at myself. but you smile and shake your head, letting your brown hair fall around you.
"hey, there's no need to apologize. i understand fully. we'll go as slow as you need. i'm here, and i love you."
i'm just glad you understand. you kiss me again, and i let your tongue slip inside.
you've got me addicted to your taste.
