In this surreal moment, all I can see, all I can breathe, is Kayden.At first, surprise freezes my body to ice, keeping my eyes open, but then the firecracking sensations of Kayden's soft lips moving on mine begins to heat up every hair fiber of my skin. I flutter my eyes close, welcoming it, allowing myself to be lost in him and in this breathtaking kiss.I have waited for so long to feel this way, and now that it is happening, it is everything I have ever dreamed of it to be and more.He tastes like buttermint, just the same way he tasted the last time we kissed. His hands cup my cheeks as his lips continue to claim my mouth, tender but firm, moving expertly over each of my lips with insatiable fire and need, allowing me to also simultaneously taste his lips and not just one. I grip the soft material of his sleeveless shirt to support my stance as his heated lips continue to send zaps and bolts of electricity down my spine, nearly crippling me to the floor.God, this feels so good.

Sunlight fliters into the room from the windows, falling over Lisa's beautiful sleeping face. She lies on her back, calm and peaceful, her hair sprawled over the pillow as her chest rises up and down in steady quiet breaths.God, she is so beautiful. . . . . . She stirs beside me, her face that was once facing the ceiling now turned to me. Her eyes flutter open, her dark long lashes giving way to the beauty of her deep blue eyes.Her lips curve into a beautiful smile that stops my heart for a moment when she catches me staring down at her.God, I will give anything to be the only one who exclusively gets to watch her as she wakes up every morning. . . . . ."Hey," she mutters, sounding sleepy. "Good morning."I smile down at her. "Good morning."We stare at each other in silence, drinking each other in. I still can't believe that she is mine, that after all these years, I finally get to hold her and kiss her and stare at her like this without having to throw away my face every time sh

FOUR MONTHS LATER"Sandra, it's been twenty minutes already. Are we not there yet?" I groan, looking out the window as Sandra's car flashes by various houses and road side shops.I turn my eyes back to her. "I hope this new boutique you are taking us to is worth your explanation for dragging me out of my house."She glances at me, flashing me a smile. "Come on babe. Relax."When Sandra came to my house this morning saying that she needed my help to grab some fashion pieces from a boutique she claims to be new in town, I agreed to help her. But I never knew the drive to the so called boutique will be this far.And I am getting tired."Are you sure we haven't passed the boutique?" I ask, shifting in my seat."No." She shakes her head, her fingers tapping on the steering wheel in tune to the hip-hop music playing from the car's radio.“It feels like we have been driving around in circles.” I complain.She laughs. "We are almost there. Come on Lisa. Just a few more minutes.""Alright." I

ONE MONTH LATER"Alright everyone! It is time. Let's do this!" Maggie shouts, smiling and clutching a big notepad in her arms. She is my second favourite cousin after Jennie. She also happens to be the planner of my wedding with Lisa, and ever since she resorted to the job of carrying around that notepad, I have been having a little bit of difficulty telling apart my 'real cousin Maggie' from the 'work alcoholic Maggie.'The fresh ocean breeze whips through the back of my hair, blowing some of it forward to my face. The beach is beautiful. Just the right choice of place for our wedding tomorrow. As my hands lift to push back the hair crowding over my face, Lisa appears by my side. Her smile is as infectious as usual on me. Her hands push back the hair strands from my face, doing what my hands wanted to do. She plants a soft kiss on my lips and stares up at me like I am the only man in the world."You are so fucking handsome you know that right?"I laugh, flagging my hand over my face.
