Learning To Trust Again

It was a long, sweet kiss and Rebecca sank into it, lost before she knew what was happening. She couldn’t help herself and despite her earlier anger, as his hands moved down her back and he pulled her against him, she wrapped her arms around his waist and held him tight.

Easing back after a minute but retaining his hold on her he looked down into her eyes. His gaze was intense as he said ‘better?’

Swallowing hard, Rebecca searched his eyes and nodded ‘much better.’

‘I’m sorry’ he said, contrition visible in his eyes, ‘I never regretted it and it won’t happen again.’

Rebecca nodded, but then frowned. She was confused. After that kiss her brain was refusing to work in the normal manner. What wasn’t going to happen again? Did he mean he wasn’t going to kiss her again or that he wasn’t going to pull away like he’d done in the past. She hoped it wasn’t the former because she didn’t think she’d survive if she wasn’t able to kiss him again but at the moment she couldn’t tell. Her eyes dropping of their own accord from his eyes to his lips, she decided she couldn’t stand not knowing. She needed to find out straight away and reaching up she met his mouth again in a searing kiss.

Moving back a short time later he smiled ‘testing me?’ he said.

‘Yes’ Rebecca replied and blushing as she realised what she’d said she looked away and amended ‘I mean no.’

He laughed. ‘Don’t worry, I don’t blame you, but I promise you I won’t pull back like that anymore.’

She had her answer and looking up, she smiled.

‘You eaten yet?’ he asked pushing some hair behind her ear, ‘I was hoping we could get some dinner.’

Rebecca shook her head ‘no I haven’t eaten. Dinner sounds good.’

‘So do you need some time to get ready?’

Her mind still slow to function, Rebecca looked around and said ‘umm…’

Smiling he asked ‘do you want me to come back?’
