send “💋” for four times my muse thought about kissing yours, and the one time they actually did.
The four times Zeke thought about kissing Lucia.
001. Zeke could hear a conversation from where he stood behind the bar, hearing the words become more clear as the two women walked closer. Camila brought up going out later that evening, asking Lucia if she wanted to tag along. He wasn't looking at them, only half paying attention while drying a glass when he heard Lucia mention already having plans. “Take out and a movie.” The words had a small smile on his lips, knowing those had been their exact plans a few days ago and would be their plans again if he wasn't working late. He thought about how close they had been on the couch and couldn't help the idea of kissing her that crossed his mind then and now.
002. Lucia told him they were the best tacos around and she hadn't been wrong. After they walked around to talk for a little while, they stopped in to grab some ice cream and continued to walk a while longer, enjoying the view and the conversation. Once they neared the beach and paused, Zeke looked over to see a bit of ice cream still on her lower lip. It had a grin on his own lips with the thought to tell her as much as he wanted to reach out and clean it off with his own lips. Instead, he cleared his throat and motioned enough that Lucia let out a laugh and cleaned it off herself.
003. After serving a drink, Nyla began talking about something that caught his attention for a split second, though it didn't last long when he looked across the bar to see Lucia. She could always capture his attention with ease and didn't even realize it. There was a conversation between her and someone and he couldn't hear a word they were saying, but his eyes were focused on her lips as they moved and he couldn't stop himself from thinking about what it would be like to walk over and kiss her in that moment. “Are you even listening to me?” Nyla's words snapped him out of his thought and while he told her he heard everything she said, he hadn't been paying attention at all.
004. They upgraded from a rom-com to something with the slightest bit of action in the film, though it still remained more of a comedy than anything else. He didn't mind it, not when he enjoyed the company more than the movie. This film barely held his interest at the moment and it had nothing to do with the film and everything to do with the woman seated beside him. When she first sat down beside him, her hand brushed against his leg by accident, then she had her head resting against his shoulder on purpose to get comfortable. He didn't mind her that close, but it was entirely distracting when he couldn't stop thinking about kissing her.
And the one time he actually did.
001. There had been so many movie nights before this one and Zeke didn't know what changed or why he finally did something other than staying seated and watching the film. Maybe it was the fact that it was her first horror film and he tried saving her from it, but he knew that thought was a lie. His attention had been mostly on her as the slasher film played on and the second they both reached for popcorn, their fingers brushing for a brief moment, Zeke didn't let himself overthink it. He had done that most nights and that had him holding back, but he couldn't stop himself this time as he leaned over to kiss her and didn’t stop kissing her for the rest of the evening.
