Calebs POV I let go of her hands, and let mine go to her waist, making her breath hitch. Taking a step closer, we were almost touching. I looked in her eyes which were wide with surprise. There was only a few inches of space between our lips, "if you don't like me, then why haven't you pulled back?" "I don't like-" I cut her off by pressing my lips to hers. She tensed up, then relax into the kiss, her arms sliding around my sides as she closed the gap between us. ------- What happens when the boy who always teased you growing up, suddenly, well, grew up. And what happens when you find yourself falling for him? Will it's spiral out of control? or can Kira manage to tame the player inside of him?
