Chapter 2 - Ch. 2 A Strong Grasp

He offers me to sit on his bed instead of standing in the doorway.

"I'm okay standing here, I prom-"

Suddenly, a strong, warm embrace hugs my body.

It squeezes me tighter and tighter until I almost can't breath.

"Let me go." I struggle to say, but all he does is pick me up and walk me over to his bed and sits down-- placing me in his lap. His arms wrap around my body tightly still.

I clutch my chest. A feeling grabs at my heart as I try to look up at him.

Our eyes meet. I lean into him. He takes his hand and gently holds my face up to his.

Suddenly, his face was so close to mine I didn't know what to do. I close my eyes and something warm touches my lips.

I shrink back a little and open my eyes, the warmth still on my lips.

Lucas is kissing me.

Kissing me?! Why?

He stops and hugs me close.

He starts kissing my neck and my ears. My body shivers at the tingly feeling.

I push him back slowly. "Why?" I ask.

He says nothing and smiles, looking directly into my eyes. Then he wraps his arms around me tightly once more.

At that, my body relaxes. I hug him back smiling.

Who needs a reason?
