Rather Be

Adrian continues to stare at Cassidy before leaning down slowly to capture her lips, but she beats him to it as she suddenly closes the gap between them and kisses him. 

His heart leaps out of his chest right then - or maybe even set aflame. Either way, he feels like everything in him is just reaching out for her now. He shuts his eyes closed the moment his lips touch hers softly - like ash. It seems to him that this firecracker of a woman has caused his entire being to erupt into fire.

And this kiss is the aftermath.

Adrian smiles at the thought. He wants to etch every single detail of this moment into his memory. He wants to remember what it feels like. With that, he opens up his heart once more, deepens their kiss.
