There wasn’t any rush.

His thumb brushed against my side and I melted into him.

I’d kissed guys before. None of them had ever kissed me like this.

Like they actually wanted me. Like they couldn’t get close enough.

I smiled against his mouth and he smiled back. That somehow made my heart beat even faster.

When we finally pulled apart, we were both breathing a little harder.

Neither of us stepped away.

I looked at him for a second before laughing quietly. “So...”

“So?”

“I feel like we should probably kiss more often.”

One corner of his mouth lifted. “I could make time.”

I laughed. “I was trying to be romantic.”

“I know.”

“You kind of ruined it.”

“I usually do.”

I shook my head. “You are impossible.”

“So I’ve been told.”

I leaned forward and brushed one more quick kiss against his lips. “I still like you.”

“That’s unfortunate.”

“For you?”

“For you.”

I laughed again. “I think I’ll survive.”

His expression softened. “Breakfast.”

Reality crashed back in. “Oh.”

“Then work.”

I sighed dramatically. “I suppose being responsible is important.”

“It usually is.”

I bumped his shoulder. “Fine.”

Things had changed.

I didn’t know exactly what Oliver and I were now, but whatever it was, I liked it.
