Veronica sighs and looks me in the eye, “I should be running from you…”

I hold my breath as she takes a step forward - towards me.

“You have trouble stamped all over you…”

Another step forward. She’s in my personal space now, only inches between us.

“And yet.” Her hand placed on my chest, her head tilted back, her eyes locked on mine. The temptation is real. I manage to wait, holding myself in place. I need to hear her words; more than I think I need my next breath. “I don’t wanna leave.”

I’ll make sure she never regrets giving me those words.

I wrap her in my arms and back her up against my car. She’s now trapped between me and a giant heap of metal, she has nowhere to go and no way to escape.

Lowering myself to her level, our lips meet in a heated kiss.

“I told you that you were the girl of my dreams.”

“I didn’t believe you.”

“I know, but now’s the time I start convincing you.” I wink and start backing away. I’m afraid if I don’t get away from her fast enough, I might do something I might later regret. Like, get arrested for indecent exposure.
