Excerpt #1 –
Because of my
anxiety, I perceived the world differently. The medicine helped, but when it
wore off, it wasn't like Cinderella's carriage turning back into a pumpkin at
precisely midnight.
It was more subtle, more gradual. It was a whole
different way of reacting to the world, and it took a little more
concentration. Something I couldn't do with him studying me.
But then he rubbed his hand up my arm and he licked
his lips and leaned into me and the world slowed down.
"Hey, you okay?"
I concentrated on his voice but couldn't stop staring
at his lips. I tried to pull my gaze away from them, from him, but I couldn't.
His facial expressions made me feel adored, and I didn't want to miss a thing.
I leaned in further to get a better look, but my eyes
closed and the next thing I knew, his lips touched mine. I pulled back a little
and opened my eyes. The world caught up to whatever dimension we were in. It
was much too abrupt for the moment, and I felt on the verge of a panic attack,
but then I thought, maybe ...
I closed my eyes, leaned in, and kissed him again. My
lips parted and I licked them, but my tongue rubbed against his lips and
retreated. We were so close. His lips shifted into a grin, and I parted my lips
in surprise. He reached his hand behind my neck and pulled me closer as his
tongue entered between mine.
A muffled giggled escaped, and I was surprised to
find it came from me. It disappeared into his mouth, which made him grin and
pull back. The world stayed calm as I thought about how his lips felt on mine.
His tongue swiped against my tongue with confidence. I opened my eyes and peered
into his. They were no longer light; they had a definite dark hue and the color
swarmed as if wondering how to take in the person they saw before them.
Is it possible that I found something else to balance
me?
I leaned back, but as his hand slipped away from my
cheek, I placed my hand on it to keep him firmly in place. I looked off to my
right and the streetcar clinked by and people were strolling down St. Charles
Avenue. I turned to my left and watched a group of kids cut across the park on
their way home from school.
I turned back to Ryan and smiled. He smiled back, and
to thank him, I kissed him.
I removed my hand from his, satisfied it would stay
where I wanted it. My hand reached out to touch his chest. I wanted to confirm
it was as solid as I imagined. My brief hug a few nights before had only hinted
at it.
I touched his skin peeking out the top of his t-shirt
and ran my knuckle across the top. It was his turn to shiver, but it deepened
the kiss as his tongue pressed into my mouth. I flatted my head on his chest
and pressed back; he was solid, unmovable. He laid a soft little kiss on my
mouth before pulling back and looking down at my hand splayed across his chest.
His face tilted and he stared with a sexy grin.
"Did you just kiss me?" he asked in a whispered tone.
