Chapter 18- I Promise

I rubbed my thumb in circles on her hand. This moment was so perfect. While I was dating Kye, I thought love would come with time, but while I was wrapped in her embrace I was falling. Quicker and quicker. The more seconds the clock ticks down, the further I fell. We were sat by a small fire we had made as the stars flickered like fireflies in the distance. Every breath she took, I felt her chest expand against mine. We hadn't talked that much about the kiss. The kiss... I'd never felt something more real as the feeling that erupted from my heart at that moment. I trailed my hands slowly through her thick auburn hair.
