My heart pounds hard and fast Of course, I get it I can see it and feel it and sht I was saving her, but in reality, I' her

I hook ainstup at ainst hers, I kiss her I kiss the woives me life I kiss the wos in ht

Kelsie's lips are soft and warue inside Her body is tense, but then I feel her relax She falls againstainst my chest

I walk her backwards and push her against the car She coos, exhaling a single breath againstand bold, but still, I see brokenness

My fingertips softlyit back behind her ear My lips are hovering over hers, barely touching I letsure she's listening

“I get it, Kelsie, trust et it” I kiss her harder andaround hers

I' myself to her, and I want her to know it, to feel it, to believe it with every ounce of her body Because I feel it I feel her all over She's in hts, in my dreams, and in my heart

Her arms fly up around my neck and she kisseswhat she feels Our lips break apart, and we're both breathing heavy I can't stop looking at her

The shattered pieces in her eyes are gone, replaced with a sers down her throat

Tires crackle against pave away and back onto the road

“Well, it looks like my ride just left”

“I'll give you a ride Where were you going?” She places her hands on my chest and plays with the collar ofas it's not away from me”

“Your parents need their car, and I know your dad doesn't want to see me”

“I told him the truth, you know I told theht now It doesn't matter to me anymore what they think, all I need is you”

“You really did that?”

“I did” She bites her botto you?”

“How about you just bring me back to the hotel I can rent a car and coive your dad some time to cool off Even if he knows the truth, and he knows I'etting my job back”
