My breath hitched as he moved his eyes back and forth from my eyes to my lips, before brushing a few strands of my hair behind my ear. He looked at me as if he was asking for permission, I slightly nodded. He grabbed my face gently before lightly brushing his lips against mine. He captivated the moment by guiding his lips slowly over mine. As he pulled away I saw his smile match mine. He kissed my forehead gently. My whole body was ignited, I was out of this world jittery. I had never felt like this before.
