❝The past can't hurt you anymore, not unless you let it.❞
– Alan Moore
Okay, so Ella kissed me. Well, I kissed Ella. Who kissed who doesn't matter, we kissed each other. Now I need to make sure I don't do anything stupid. Ella's getting ready right now, and I'm just sitting on the couch figuring out what Ella and I should talk about before taking the kiss any step further.
Suddenly, I got a text from Ella.
I got up and looked for the package. Surprisingly, I found it really quickly. I was on the eighth letter when I heard Ella coming down the stairs, "Did you finish reading the letters?"
"I'm almost done," I answered.
"Okay," She responded, barely above a whisper.
Reading these letters made we want to kiss her so badly and hit myself so badly. I had gone out with a girl named Allison for literally no reason, and Ella was hurt in the process. I never meant to hurt her. Unfortunately, I make some very stupid decisions.
Once I finished the letters, I looked at Ella, and asked, "Do you really love me that much?"
"Yes Aiden, I really do. I never stopped. Even when you left me alone, I couldn't stop loving you," Her eyes softened.
I couldn't stop myself. I kissed her desperately, but still gently and carefully. I could feel her body giving into mine. I wanted to kiss every inch of her. I wanted her to know how much I loved her as well. And then, she pulled away.
"Aiden, we need to discuss this before making any other decisions," She said calmly.
"Okay. What do you want to discuss?" I asked. I wanted her to take control of the conversation, so that way I know what her limits are.
"Well first, I want you to understand that I've changed a little bit. I'm much more independent than before. I want you to understand this because I don't want you to think that you have to protect me at all times. If there's a problem, just tell me and we'll work it out."
"Okay, I'm always going to try to protect you. I don't think I stop myself from doing that. Also, I'll make sure to communicate with you whenever necessary. What else do you have on your mind?"
"Why didn't you say anything when I told you I loved you?" She asked the question I was dreading to answer.
"I don't know. I guess I was just shocked that you felt that way. I was speechless. I wanted to say that I loved you too, but I just physically couldn't. I'm really sorry Ella," I felt so ashamed. Even though, I'm trying so hard to be a better person, I keep taking actions that I shouldn't have taken.
"I accept your apology. I can't really think of anything to talk about right now, but if you think of anything at all, remember to just communicate with me," She stated.
"Okay," I responded.
"Do you want to make out?" I found it so hot that she was being utterly direct with me.
"Are you sure?" I just wanted to make sure before creating a mess.
"Yes," She whispered while kissing my earlobe, and then she kissed me with such passion. I couldn't compare any kiss to that kiss. It was beautiful. I kissed her back with everything I had in me.
Damn, I'm madly in love with Ella.
Nothing can keep me away from her. I promise.
