It took her seconds to answer her dilemma. She sealed the answer with her soft lips over mine. This time, I decided to be bold. I decided not to settle for a peck. I wanted a smooch. So, as she locked her lips over mine, I never released them. I embraced them as gently as I could. Her top lip was enclosed between my two lips. Her lip gloss tasted like berries. She wanted to stop but decided to go with the flow. Our lips cuddled for minutes. Gradually, we separated. Our faces were still close enough to feel the essence of heightened breaths. Gently, our noses massaged each other. We stole glances at each other. We were getting high on lust. Our attraction was strong. Our chemistry was amazing. Suddenly, one of us broke the silence. She asked me, Why does it not feel wrong? Why can’t I deny the fact that I want to kiss you more? Why does my mind say to leave, but I can’t?
I did not utter a word for a while. I did not have any answers. Then I said to her, I don’t know what is correct or incorrect. I think our bodies craved this for a long time. This is just pure lust that is driving us crazy. She started sobbing. I never saw her weeping. It broke my heart. Wiping her tears off her face, I said, Shush! Are you mad? We didn’t do anything wrong. This is natural. She said, I want to carry on, but I also do not want to lose our friendship. I saw fear residing inside her eyes. It made me feel sad. We stopped everything for a moment. She sat by my side, leaning her head on my shoulder. We were holding hands. I told her I would never let you go. You were my friend, and our friendship is immortal. We will be friends forever. She tightened her grip around my head. Then suddenly, she turned her face toward me and spoke. Let’s do it. Let our bodies make this decision. Let us not stop. Do not listen to what our hearts say. Let our bodies run to their destiny, and fate will decide our future. I am ready for this to happen. Are you?
I nodded. I, too, craved this. Soon, she came closer to me.
I could feel her getting closer to my body, my hand embracing her face like a trophy, and she was lost in this moment beyond space and time. She was increasing her pace; our lips were just touching at one time, and the very next moment we were eating each other out of hunger. I never knew she felt the same hunger as me. Our bodies were losing control, our breaths were trembling, and we were asking for bail like a prisoner locked behind the bars of lust. Our tongues grew dry every time they collided, asking to quench this thirst.
We pushed each other, panting. Our lungs yelled to breathe. We looked at each other, grasping breaths. Our eyes locked, and we kissed again. We kissed till our hearts ached out of breath. It felt like forever. There was no stopping now. Her body grew closer and closer. She pushed me over the bed. She was over me. We were kissing vigorously. Soon, I slid my hands in her hair through the back of her neck and tossed her below me. She moaned at the change. I was not satisfied. Her lips alone could not relieve my senses.
