That One Summer | Jason Waud & Joe Waud

Part 8: Citrus and Spice

His hand still holding yours, he leaned in. As he started to lean closer into you, you could smell him. Jason smelled like a fresh afternoon breeze with a hint of citrus and spice. Jason's soft lips made contact and connected to yours and in that moment, all your senses were activated and you felt something you have never felt before. He let go of your hand and slid his arms under yours and wrapped them around your body, while you put your arms around his neck and shoulders. You felt his strong shoulders, his arms wrapped around you, and his hands on your back, and you felt the safest you have ever felt. Before you both were able to continue, you heard door slams and voices nearby. "I think we should head back home now, its getting kinda late.", he said. You agreed and you both started heading back to his house. Seeing that a car was in his driveway, Jason said "I guess my familys back from their trip". You followed Jason through the front door and before you both could say anything, you heard a woman's voice coming from the kitchen. "Hey sweetie!", but before she was able to finish, her volume slowly died down once she saw you.
