~Missed Kiss~He walked to ward me slowly, his leather shoes pressing down the long grasses. I could feel his breath on my cheek as he leaned forward. My eyes fluttered shut, but I forced them open again. His breath was hot against my lips, and his face blotted out the sky, so I could see nothing but his eyes and the pores of his skin.“Because,” he said in tones of honey and velvet, “I’ve always had to push away people I care about. You’re the only one who ever pushed back.”The words brushed against my lips and sent the butterflies tumbling again. He’s going to kiss me, he’s going to—He leaned back and patted me on the head. My cheeks turned tomato-red as I glared at him.He blinked and stared back, looking completely innocent. “What?” he said. He took another look at me and burst out laughing. “Did you think I was going to…?” He folded his arms, pressing his fingertips against the insides of his elbows as he laughed.“I’m glad you think it’s so funny,” I fumed. Why the hell could he always pull one over on me?
