9 parts Complete Liy: "I don't do relationships, I flirt, I play, I walk away before things get messy."
---------
Daniel hesitated for just a moment before his gaze flickered down to her lips, then back to her eyes. Lily's heart raced in her chest, but she didn't step back. She was ready. She wanted this.
With a gentle move, Daniel cupped her face in his hands, his thumbs brushing over her skin, and for a second, Lily thought she might melt from the tenderness of it all.
He leaned in slowly, his lips barely touching hers at first, like he was waiting for permission. Lily closed the small gap, pressing her lips against his in a kiss that was soft and sweet, the kind that made her feel like everything was going to be okay.
The kiss deepened, just slightly, and Lily's hands found their way to his chest, her fingers brushing against his shirt. Her heart fluttered with a feeling she couldn't explain-like everything was aligning, like they were meant to be here in this moment.
When they finally pulled away, their foreheads resting against each other, they both smiled, breathless, as if they were both unsure of what had just happened but knew they couldn't let it go.
Daniel looked at her with soft, romantic eyes, his hand still gently cradling her face. "Lily, I... I think I'm falling for you."
