Silas

You know when you get sucker punched, and you can’t breathe?

Ainsley sucker punched me right in the gut. I had expected her to say anything else but that.

“Lee, I don’t…I just…” Yup, the woman I loved eight years ago, and still loved, asked me to kiss her and I’m a stuttering jackass trying to talk her out of it.

She slowly opened her eyes. “I’m not going to make the same mistakes we did before. You asked me what I wanted, and I told you. Now, are you going to give me what I want, or am I going to have to take it?”

“So if I don’t kiss you, you’re going to tackle me and take your kiss?”

She tilted her head to the right and smiled. “I hadn’t planned on tackling you, but if that’s what you want, I’m not opposed to it.”

“Fuck it,” I growled. I wasn’t going to be a fool anymore. I grabbed her around the waist and pulled her to me. She wound her arms around my neck, and I couldn’t help feel like the clueless seventeen year old who wanted everything the world had to give, including this girl. “If I kiss you, I can’t promise I’ll let you go. Ever.”

“Then it’s a good thing I like being in your arms,” she whispered against my lips.

I kissed her. I kissed her with everything I had been hiding for the past eight years. Her soft lips beneath mine yielded to my need and gave, while all I could do was take. Her hands delved into my hair, holding me close with the unspoken promise she wasn’t going to let me go either.

“Holy crap,” she gasped. Her deep brown eyes looked up at me, and she sighed. “That was way better than I remembered.”

I brushed her hair back from her face and pressed a kiss to her forehead. “I think that had something to do with the fact that neither of us are inexperienced teenagers anymore.”

“Thank God for that,” she giggled.

I glanced at the clock on the wall. “So how long are you supposed to wait for your flowers and shit to show up?” It was half past nine, and as nice as the flower shop was, I was hoping that we would be able to move our reunion upstairs.

She sighed and rested her head on my shoulder. “Ugh, I’m pretty sure my flowers aren’t going to show up tonight. I’m going to need a Christmas miracle for those damn things to make it here before Melonie’s wedding tomorrow.”

“Is there anything I can do?” I asked. I would move Heaven and Earth at this point just to make her happy.

“Unless you have a semi in your pocket, nothing is going to help.”

“Well, that is one thing I don’t have. Can you make it work with the flowers and trees that you dropped off today?” If you asked me, there was more than enough plants at Mother’s for a wedding, but I wasn’t a florist like Ainsley, who actually knew what she was doing.
