Definitely. She had a huge point there. It took too much time for him to realize that THAT was the right thing to do, but as he loved to say: better late than never. The Chicago native enjoyed the kiss from the very first moment till the last, moving his lips against hers slowly and gently. Everything turned out perfectly, just as he expected. He kinda wanted that to last forever, but his respiratory tract acted like an asshole as well, so they had to pull away. But why did he decide to kiss her at that moment? He wasn’t sure himself, they were on their way to the catering, they were having a nice conversation as usual, and suddenly he pulled her into a kiss, without even caring if someone was looking at them. The man held back for so much time, he couldn’t resist anymore, he HAD to kiss her, he HAD to leave a mark on that woman somehow. She had something special. Rubbing a thumb on his mouth, he listened to her and laughed along, Their faces were so close to each other, he stared into her big eyes as she spoke. “Hmph… ever heard of ‘waiting of the right moment’, little one? You’ve got a lot to learn…” He replied with a slight giggle on his face and a teasing tone of voice. Before she could even say a word, Phil wrapped her hips and pressed his lips against hers hungrily, again.
Perhaps he had a point. There was a very good chance that he was right. She wasn’t stubborn enough to deny that. There have been plenty of moments where they had the chance to steal a kiss from each other, but it never happened until right now and everything about this felt right. Makes her feel kind of glad they did wait until right now because who knows if it would’ve felt the same when they had other chances. She was about to speak again, about to respond when he put her lips to better use. Their lips were once again met and Mercedes rested a hand on his chest before slowly bringing it up his body and then around to rest her hand against the back of the Chicagoan’s head. Her entire body relaxed into his and the entire outside world was shut out - at least until she pulled from the kiss after it lingered on longer than it probably needed to. “I guess that felt like the right time as well, right?” Mercedes laughed as she dropped her hand from in and took in a deep breath. Her lips ached for more of him but perhaps now and right here wasn’t the best place to continue that. “We should probably stop. Someone might see us.” she added.
