That includes us thinking that it can't hurt to try to date each other for the summer before college. We made a promise to each other that we'll stay friends no matter what. Like I said we have nothing to lose. But what if I'm wrong?

"Do you want to know who I am?" His warm breath tickled against my ear. I held back the small moan that wanted to escape my lips. "What do you mean?" The darkness of the night was filled with our breathing as he started placing innocent kisses down my neck. My eyes involuntarily rolled back while I pushed my neck closer to his tormenting lips. A groan vibrated on my neck from him, making me realize how much he was pleased with this moment. I weakly placed my hands on his chest, ready to push him away. Before I could, his tongue dragged against my neck, making all my focus on the conversation we were having vanish. "Oh, my little vero amore, you know very well that I am not who I say to be." I did know this. I finally accepted this realization early tonight. "And you, my fire" His assault on my neck now moved to my chin, cheek, forehead, making it impossible for me to concentrate, "Are not who you think you are."
