Matthew gulped. His throat suddenly felt dry. And… he had the urge to kiss her.
His heart drummed in his chest as he anticipated and imagined what it would be like.
Before he knew it, he cupped her face and gently caressed her cheek with his thumb.
Her skin was smooth, soft, and squishy.
There was another gulp as his hand went to her chin.
His hand shook as he gently brushed his thumb over her lips.
Her lips felt so soft under his touch.
What more if he kissed her?
Wouldn't it feel even better? He licked his lips and gulped.
Matthew wanted to know what her lips would feel like against his.
He could at least get a goodbye kiss, right?
But would it be alright? He debated in his mind and for who knows how long.
'Are you an idiot? She's already right here in front of you, what the hell are you waiting for?' one part of his mind said.
