Perspective

I nod softly, trying to calm myself down and I tried to focus on his words. "You're okay, I'm not going to hurt you." He gently rubs my waist and I feel myself coming down from the painful feeling in my stomach.

He gives me a small nod of appreciation, looking down between us with a sigh.

He looks up at me, "Did you feel that too?" He asks, still holding onto my waist firmly with his body hesitantly pressing against me more.

I know what he means and I did. I'm not one to lie even though he thinks that's all I do.

I softly nod, syncing my breathing with his as we both stare into each other's eyes. I focused on how beautifully colored they were, bits and pieces of his eyes were a delicate grey while others were an intoxicating blue.

His heart shaped lips were a light shade of pink as peppermint spilled out of them, a slit of black ran down the corner of his bottom that pushed right through the skin, curving around the perfect art.

"Prove it," he demands, keeping his voice low but firm.
