❝Listen, Ethan, this was a mistake, okay? She's gone, we need to move on. It's hard, I agree but that's life. Everything happens for a reason and most of the time we'll never find the reason, but now, we have already found the conclusion. Please?❞ I somewhat whispered, looking over towards him; tears we're brimming both of our eyes.
❝That's the only thing we can do: move on. But, first, I need to do something,❞ He stated, I gave him a strange look, confused as to what he was going to do.
He leaned closer, as did I. It felt like somebody else was controlling my body, as though there was a magnetic force pulling the two of us together. His soft, plump lips touched mine; it was magical, the feeling I had only dreamt of, it's now reality.
His tongue flicked my bottom lip, asking for permission, I gratefully accepted.
