~ At Sophia's Hometown ~
Midnight...
When the clock struck 12, Sophia woke up at the feel of a soft hand caressing her face. She slowly opened her eyes only to see Matthew looking at her with a gentle smile on his face.
"Happy Birthday, Love…" Matthew softly mumbled before planting a soft kiss on Sophia's forehead.
Sophia blinked away her sleepiness. She remembered that today was the start of her birthday. Matthew became true to his words that he would be the first one to greet her.
She was about to thank him when Matthew covered her lips with his lips. He kissed her passionately as his greeting.
Sophia just followed Matthew's lead, going with the flow as she responded to his kiss. Matthew's lips were moving gently, nibbling on her lower and upper lips alternately.
She could feel the love he had for her. He was expressing his feelings through this kiss. The kiss was not demanding but reassuring.
