“Absolutely beautiful,” he said. I couldn’t meet his eyes and instead I felt my face flushing.
His fingers lifted my chin up and, before I knew what he was doing, he was kissing me.

“There’s nothing wrong with kissing and I intend on kissing you a lot more. I just didn’t want our kiss earlier to go farther than our relationship should just yet. There is no reason why you should be embarrassed because of your kiss and invitation earlier. I want that too, just not yet, understand?”
