"What do you mean?" He looks me in the eyes, with a slight blush to his cheeks. " I mean that I..." I wait for him to finish but he doesn't. "Zach? What's wrong? Is it your mom?" I ask. He didn't say anything. He slowly leans in. Shortly after, he closes his eyes, while I close mine. Our lips were inches away. I could feel his breathe on my lips. I could smell him. Our lips touched and they felt so soft. At first I thought he was going to kiss me for a minute or two, but it felt like hours. It was first just a slow, soft kiss then it turns into a passionate make out session. I was so into the kiss that I didn't realized how fast we got to my bed. We were heavily making out like there's no tomorrow. His hands are under my shirt, unbuckling my bra. Even though we are just friends and soon to be siblings. Well step-siblings... was this okay?
