☠ Chapter Seventeen ☠

[Sam's p.o.v]
As we were walking, I kept glancing at Colby. Only this time i decided to look longer and my eyes immediately went down to his lips.
Dang. I can't remember the last time I've kissed him.

I sighed sort of sadly as I looked forwards again.

"What's wrong?" Colby asked in a mellow tone. I could tell he tried to keep his voice low.

"Nothing, don't worry about it" i whisper and smile.

He hesitantly nods and sighs as well.

We soon made it home and he walked to the kitchen.

I stayed by the door.

"You alright?" Colby asked me.

I took a breath. "C-can I kiss you?" I asked quietly, but loud enough for him to hear.

"Sam-" Colby started but I cut him off.
"Please?" I ask, almost sounding desperate.

Colby sighed. "I'm scared" he admitted.

"But, why?" I ask.

"Because I am" he said a bit more stern than he meant to sound. He took a deep breath.  "I meant, because I'm afraid I'll hurt you in some way"

I sighed. "Please?" I asked again.

He walked over to me slowly.
"Okay"he said quietly.

It almost felt as if my heart was going to pound out of my chest. I tried hiding how happy I was because it was pathetic, getting excited over a kiss, well at least from your boyfriend, because to be quite frank, you shouldn't have to beg for a simple kiss that'll only last 5 seconds, and there's no way you can take those five seconds back.

He slowly started to lean in, and I did the same.

He finally firmly placed his lips on mine.

He pulled away after a few seconds.

"Better?" He asked.

I nodded.

He smiled sadly. "I wish I could kiss you without worrying" he whispered.
