Starting Over

"Mason, what are you doing here?" I questioned him, sounding a little more breathy than I would have liked. We were so close at this point that I could feel his warm, minty breath on my lips. He had one hand on the small of my back and the other cupping my cheek. I wanted nothing more than to close the small gap between us. "Arianna," he whispered "I need you in my life." With that he closed the gap between us himself. I felt his soft lips brush up against mine once, then twice, as if giving me a chance to pull away. The only sound between us was the beating of our hearts.
