Here Comes the Sun
During a game of "5 Things" ( a bit like truth or dare in which each person needs to admit 5 things about himself, #5 being light and #1 being the doozy), Brant decides to use his #2 to tell Natalie that it was he who's had a crush on her since they arrived on British soil. He uses # 1 to......
“You?”
“Me.”
He shrugs. “Yea, sorry if I got your hopes up.” He grins and I nearly fall
against him in happiness. “I didn't know everyone then, besides, well, my
group. You just, I don't know, awakened something in me with a single look. Do
you know that I went looking for you at Conwy Castle that day, thinking of
anything to say to you that would make you talk to me?”
I
think I just died and went to heaven. Or at least was just lifted up from
Hades. Horrible place.
“Is
that your number one?”
He
looks taken aback, but quickly composes himself with a quick shake of his head.
“No. My number one, and you'll have to forgive me right now, is that I brought
you on this ferris wheel today so that,” he stops, his eyes traveling my lips
and I almost know what's coming.
Almost.
I
hear my voice, but I don't even realize I'm speaking. My heart is thwacking
hard against my chest, seemingly trying to crack my ribs. The words come out so
softly that even I find them inaudible. “So that what?”
He
pauses, just for a moment. “So that I can do this.” And before my body and mind
can react, he leans down and spreads feathery light kisses across my lips. With
his hands encircling me, he pulls me in closer, our frantic hearts beating
together. And the more he kisses me, the more I want. I follow his lead and
with my hands, I encircle his head, my hands weaving through his hair. Our kiss
deepens. He tastes like mint, his lips are warm and moist, and I give and take
as much as I can.
When
I finally run out of air we pull apart, our eyes wide in a fresh excitement and
our mouths open, gasping for more. But with no explanation needed, no words to
be spoken, I drop my head onto his chest and watch as night falls on the city
of London.
