Even with the sneaking it would require, the prospect of a date, proper
one with Chris, made her feel giddy. With some first dates, there was the
worrying. ‘Will I actually like this person? Will I enjoy their company?’
There was none of that with him. She was sure, even if the date itself
turned into a disaster, they would still enjoy their time together. But, deep
down, she wanted the date to go well. She wanted it more than anything.
Beth return the kiss, lips soft against his, her mind turning over his words
in her thoughts. His words, all of them, made her heart race, as if it hadn’t
been already. If it wasn’t for the kiss, her entire face would have been
warm with a blush. “If you keep saying those things,” she whispered against
his lips when she pulled away slightly, “I might fall for you.”
It felt like his heart might never slow down. The beating echoed in his ears
with each gentle touch and soft kiss they shared. The sweetness of her lips
had already become addictive and he didn’t want to pull away, even for a
second. Her words didn’t just heat up his cheeks. The warmth radiated from
his chest, spreading throughout his entire body. He dropped his gaze for a
moment, biting on his bottom lip to hide his smile before he looked up again.
“Then I’ll have to make sure I catch you.”
He wasn’t worthy of someone like Beth. She deserved great things, and people,
who matched her in every way. If she was willing to lower her standards for
the likes of him, who was he to deny her. The part Chris was looking forward
to the most was just getting to know her on a level he hadn’t before. He found
himself wanting to know everything she liked and every detail from her quirks
to her pet peeves. He wanted to know it all. “If you can’t tell me about your
favourite music, we could play the question game. I’ll even start, what’s your
favourite time of day?”
