"Sugar and Honey?" I watched as she stirred her tea, the light brown color shimmering in the sun matching her eyes.
"Guilty, what can I say I'm a sucker for sweets," Zara gave me the softest smile, a smile as sweet as her tea. One I'd trade the world for.
Honey eyes and a sweet smile, the color to her cheeks as she held the warm tea, smiling at the steam rising from it.
A sweetness I didn't deserve. A sweetness I'd be selfish to want.
But if holding her hands in mine made me selfish, then for fucks sake I'll be the most selfish person in the world.
