London Nights

Four: Fate

Taron looked away before meeting my eyes again "We kissed"

He looked at me, his brows furrowed and it was as if time stood still.

I gasped "We did?" my voice was barely above a whisper.

"Yeah" Taron still looked sad.

"I'm so sorry" How could I have forgotten I had kissed him?

"Do you regret it?" he looked so vulnerable I wanted to hug him. Even though I wanted to kill him a few minutes ago. But his revelation changed everything.

I stared into his green eyes and couldn't think straight "I don't know" I sighed "I don't remember any of it"

"Want me to remind you?" he smirked.

I laughed and felt myself starting to blush. "What happened?"

"Well" he shrugged "we danced and kissed eventually"

"That's it?" It didn't sound that bad. How did I forget this?

"Yeah" he frowned again. "Seemed pretty natural to me"

"I'm sorry I don't remember" I sighed.

"And you're saying Gary might become your boyfriend?" he grinned.

I looked down "Well I don't think the two of us should be together"

"Why are you saying that?" Taron whispered as he put his hand under my chin and forced me to look into his eyes.

I snorted "You're an actor, I'm a waitress. You're successful, I'm not. You are hot, I am not" I laughed "I could go on like this-"

Taron tugged me to him hard, pressing his lips on mine to shut me up. Before I realized what had happened he pulled away again. I gaped at him, overwhelmed.

"Sorry, Marie. I-" he muttered, looking at me tenderly before staring at my lips and into my eyes again.

I lightly shook my head, smiling, as I pulled him down to me again. His lips met mine, softly this time and suddenly images flickered through my mind of that night a few days ago. My whole body was tingling as we deepened the kiss. I felt like crying of happiness right then and there. I was meant to be with him, and nobody else.

We broke the kiss eventually and I bit my lip looking into his beautiful eyes that bored into mine. It was as if he was searching for something.

"I remember some bits" I smiled at him, giggling.

"You do?" he smiled at me like a little school boy.

I nodded, too lost for words. He seemed so happy it made me lose my mind. He put his arms around me and excitement ran through me.

"Come on, I will take you home" he said and we walked to the Tube station together. We were walking side by side and I just wanted to grab and kiss him again. I kept my hands to myself but I glanced over to Taron every now and again and he seemed to struggle too.

After what felt like ages we reached my Tube station and walked over to my flat.

Taron walked in behind me in silent understanding and shut the door behind us. We were standing there, in the small hallway of my flat and stared at each other. Damn, the man was beautiful. I couldn't handle it.

I brushed my fingers over his cheeks down his neck and he closed his eyes and groaned so lightly I almost didn't hear it. Then he wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me to him. I was drowning in his gorgeous eyes that were pitch black now.
