“You may kiss me.”

“Sure?”

“Sure.”

“Ask me, Ciara. Ask me to kiss you and I’ll do it and I promise you it’ll be alright.”

“Kiss me, Aaron.”

With tremendous anxiety that threatens to drop me to my knees on the sand, I touch her lips.

I am shy, careful…

I’m fucking petrified.

Ciara lets me taste her lips slowly and sweetly as she caresses my nape with her hand and pulls me closer to her. I know I’m never going to be able to pull myself away from these lips, from this body.

From this woman.

I never believed in anything and never wanted anything. I was living in a world made up of crude reality with no dreams or expectations, closed in my safe haven.

Now I do believe in this dream. In this fairy tale.

She is my fairy tale.

And I am her prince.
