If You Ever Wanna Fall In Love

11. THE KISS OF A LIFETIME

[SONG: TOUCH by Daughter]

We both burst into laughter. Suddenly my eyes met his eyes. It's a different feeling. The butterflies in my stomach start growing rapidly.

My breath catches my throat as a realization how close he is. Just how much closer I want him to be. As we stood there, my heart pounding with anticipation, Adrian gently brushed his fingers against my cheek. His touch is heavenly. His eyes looked straight into mine. He is gazing at me with such intensity, I might melt down right here, right now.  He leaned in closer, his lips hovering just inches away from mine. At that moment, time seemed to stand still as our breaths mingled. Finally, unable to resist any longer, I closed the remaining distance between us. Slowly he slides his tongue along my lips sharing q passionate and unforgettable kiss. He slowly pulls away for a little moment, enough for me to feel his breath ghosting over my face and closes the distance again though his lips barely brushing over mine. The world around them faded away, and all that mattered was the intensity of this moment.

Our lips moved in perfect harmony, deepening the kiss with every passing second. Adrian's hands caressed my back, pulling me closer as if he never wanted to let me go. The electricity between us was palpable, igniting a fire inside my soul. I lost myself in the moment, our bodies pressed against each other, our hearts beating as one.

As we slowly pulled away, our eyes locked, filled with a mix of desire and vulnerability. 

THE KISS OF A LIFETIME. THIS IS HEAVEN.

He breaks his eyes from mine and looks at my forehead, planting a small tender peck.

Adrian cupped my face in his hands, his voice barely a whisper, 'Iylah, you have no idea how much you mean to me. You have no idea how much that kiss meant to me. Being with you feels like a dream. '

My eyes sparkled with emotion as I replied in a whisper, 'I feel the same way, Adrian. It was magical.'

My heart swelled with joy, knowing that this was just the beginning of a beautiful story.

We stood there, basking in the afterglow. The world seemed brighter, and more vibrant as if it had been painted with new colours.

Adrian gently brushed a strand of hair behind my ear, his touch filled with tenderness.  He gently clasped my hand in his, his fingers intertwining with mine. It was tender and comforting, a silent reassurance of his presence. Our hands fit together perfectly as if they were made to hold each other. In that simple act, Adrian conveyed a sense of warmth and affection that spoke volumes without the need for words.

I felt a rush of emotions flood through me as Adrian held my hand. It made me feel cherished, safe and loved. The touch of his hand brought a sense of comfort and reassurance. My heart fluttered with happiness, knowing that at that moment we were connected in such a simple yet profound way.

I couldn't help but feel a sense of vulnerability. Past experiences had taught me the importance of taking things slow, of allowing love to unfold at its own pace. I want to savour every moment, to build a foundation of trust and genuine connection before diving headfirst into something more intense. Taking things slow will allow us to truly appreciate wherever this is going, and to let it grow naturally without the pressure of expectations. This is a choice that came from a place of self-care and the desire to create something lasting and meaningful. I've seen my parents slowly growing apart and I know I'm not strong enough to handle that kind of pain.

Without thinking too much I look at him.

'Adrian, I've been thinking about something and I wanted to talk to you about it.'

He look straight into my eyes as if he was looking through me.

'Of course, Iylah. What's on your mind?'

'I've been feeling like we should take things slow. I enjoy being with you, and I want us to have a strong foundation before we rush into anything.'

'Iylah, I'm so glad you brought this up. I've been feeling the same way too. I think it's important for us to take our time and let our connection grow naturally. I want us to build something meaningful and lasting.'

'Thank you for understanding, Adrian. I'm grateful to have you by my side.'

In those moments of heartfelt conversation, I knew that this unexpected kiss had not only sparked a connection but had also brought me closer to him on an emotional level. We were building a foundation of friendship and trust, and maybe setting the stage for something beautiful.

As we sat there, Adrian turned to me with a gentle smile. His eyes, filled with warmth and understanding, met mine, and I could tell that he truly comprehended how I felt. Without saying a word, he squeezed my hand ever so slightly, as if to say, "I understand."

At that moment, it was as if he had peered into the depths of my heart and grasped the essence of my desires. Adrian knew that I valued the beauty of taking things slow, of allowing this bond to unfold naturally. He respected my need for time, for building a strong foundation based on trust and genuine connection.

It was in his actions, in the way he held my hand and looked at me, that I found solace. Adrian's ability to understand and empathize with my feelings made me feel seen and heard. It was a silent affirmation that he was willing to embark on this journey with me, at a pace that felt right for both of us. And at that moment, I knew that I had found someone truly special, someone, who respected and cherished the depths of my heart.
