Maria

Chapter 5

We had seen each other almost every day for about 3 weeks. She knew everything about me, and I knew next to nothing about her. We were having coffee on my blue, stained suede couch. She grimaced after every sip at the pure strength of it, but she drank every drop anyway.

It just felt so natural that I just did it.I held her face softly in my hand. I leant in so close that I could feel her sweet, hot breath on my face. I touched my lips to her full, red, rosebud mouth and kissed her softly and tenderly, like a china doll that's precious face could shatter at any moment. She felt so fragile in my hands, and I was so afraid that this moment would shatter into a million pieces, or the paint would run and the whole scene would melt, and I'd be sitting on the couch alone forever.

Then she kissed me again, and again, and again. I loved her, I loved her so much. I loved her too much.
