"They're coming for you," an all too familiar voice called in the rain, "They're coming for you and I would never forgive myself if something bad happened to you."
His voice cracked.
"What did you just say? You CARE about me? A few seconds ago, I was pretty certain you hated me." I was facing him, arms crossed.
He was was now getting closer to me. So close in fact that his forehead touched mine, making me feel butterflies in my stomach.
"It's just as they say, "Passion is a disguise for attachment -""
"-sometimes as hate and other times in love." We both finished together.
"Kitten, nothing you could ever say or do could make me hate you." He whispered gently in my ear. When he retracted, his eyes darted from my eyes to my lips.
And without hesitating, he kissed me.
