"Okay, what happened?" She asked, fumbling with her bag strap. Elizabeth continued staring at our intertwined hands and refused to look at me.

"You noticed a couple earlier? A younger lady with an old man," I started, I was still testing the waters as to how I was going to talk about her. Aside from my mom, the fear of getting left behind was a fear was made worse by my ex girlfriend. We were together since we were ten until we were sixteen.  Come to find out she's been fucking my basketball teammates the past couple of years and even got pregnant. She ended up having an abortion before news spread around the school. Eventually, we started dating again and silly me for thinking she would change but she left me for another guy. From that day on, I completely cut her off my life.

"Yeah I did notice, do you wanna talk about it?" I felt her tiny hands squeezing mine, her thumb caressing  mine slightly. She shot me a small, shy smile and I knew I could tell her about it. So I did and somehow she ended up kneeling on her seat and was now hugging me tightly. Her sweet scent filled my nose as her arms enveloped me. I let her hold me because I needed to be held in the moment.

"She left, they all did," I whispered to her even though I was not planning on saying it out loud. Elizabeth have the power to make anyone open about their feelings with the way she was.

"I'll stay." she whispered back after a few minutes had passed. We were still embracing each other at this point and I never wanted her to let go.

After we talked about what I felt a little more, she pulled away from me and revealed a tear-stained face. She's been crying as I told her my stories. A part of me wanted to never see her in this much pain an yet I can't help but fall in love with how vulnerable she can be. I wiped a stray tear with the pad of my thumb and hugged her but this time, I held her in my arms. I could feel her body relaxing and giving in to my embrace.

"Why did you leave earlier?" I asked, careful with my choice of words. She didn't answer me for a while but she didn't pull away. Instead she held me tighter to her small frame, I could feel her tears as she soaked my top. I couldn't care less. I just wanted to know why she was feeling terrible. With that she told me how her parents treated when they were stressed out at work and it was terrible how she wanted to run away earlier. I felt a pang of guilt in my chest and I wanted to beat myself up for bringing her so much grief at this moment.

"I'm sorry El," I stared into her gorgeous eyes. It was watery but they looked up at me with so much care and affection. She was the most precious thing in my life right now and this moment is the moment people talk about. It was the moment I told myself that she was definitely my soulmate. If I let her go, it was going to be my loss and not her. I searched her eyes for permission as we continued staring at each other. Her cheeks were turning pink at the intensity of our eye contact and she looked away only for her eyes to stare at my lips.

I couldn't help myself. Before I know it, I was cupping her chin with my right hand and holding her body close to mine despite the center console. She looked surprise but she didn't stop me. I paused, our faces inches apart, searching her eyes for any sign of refusal. There was none. I pressed my lips on her soft ones and pulled away slightly.

Her eyes were closed now and I pressed my lips on hers again, kissing her longer this time. This time she pulled away and smiled at me. She brought her hands to my face and pulled me closer to her. Elizabeth dominated our kiss but in the end I deepened it and she allowed me entrance to her sweet mouth. Her hands travelled to hair as she gently tugs them.

After a minute or so of making out with the beautiful lady in my arms, we pulled away and just held each other. Her lips were swollen and her cheeks were bright pink, a playful yet shy, smile settled on her face

"Shall we keep going to the place?"

"Yes," she grinned and we let go of each other as I started the engine. I didn't notice it but I was smiling like there was no tomorrow the rest of our drive to my surprise for her.
