The city lights flickered softly outside his window, casting warm shadows that danced across the room.
We were at his place, curled up together on the couch, and though the movie was still playing in the background, neither of us had been watching it for a while.
I couldn’t help but glance at him, catching little details like the way the light hit his cheekbones, or how his eyelashes curled in just the right way. My heart beat a little faster as I wondered if he could tell what I was feeling—if he felt it too.
Then, in a moment that felt like the whole world was holding its breath, he took my hand. His touch was so gentle yet so full of warmth that it almost startled me.
He looked at me, his gaze so open, so raw, as though he was looking straight into my heart. There was something so tender in the way he held my hand, like he was telling me, without words, “I’m here with you.” And that was all I needed to know.
He leaned in slowly, his fingers brushing a stray hair from my face, a soft smile playing on his lips. My heart felt like it was fluttering and steady all at once.
Then, his lips met mine, softly, tentatively, like he was savoring each second. His kiss wasn’t rushed or intense—it was gentle, like he was saying, We have all the time in the world.
As our lips parted, he looked at me, his cheeks tinged pink, and let out a quiet laugh. I laughed too, feeling a mix of excitement and relief, as though we were sharing the world’s most beautiful secret.
Our laughs melted into silence, a kind of comfortable, wordless understanding passing between us. He took my face in his hands, brushing his thumb softly against my cheek, his eyes searching mine. In that look, I felt safe, treasured. I felt loved.
The world outside slipped away, leaving only the two of us in that room, sharing soft touches and whispered words. Each touch was careful and full of intention; each kiss told a story of its own.
There was no rush, only this beautiful, steady rhythm that felt like something we both wanted to savor. I felt as if I was home, wrapped in his arms, feeling his heartbeat in time with mine.
As the night wore on, we lay together, content and warm in each other’s embrace. There was a softness to the way we drifted to sleep, his arm wrapped around me, our breaths evening out together. For the first time in my life, I felt like I was exactly where I was meant to be.
When I woke up in the early morning light, still tucked against him, I knew that this was something I would carry with me always. It wasn’t just a memory of a night—it was the beginning of something beautiful.
