Better Late Than Never

As Celeste and I sat down to watch a movie, the only light in the room came from the TV. Richard left to party with some friends of his. -So, which movie are we watching?- she asked, I lent her one of my pajamas since she was staying. -I got a lot of them from the rental store down the street, which one would you like? Have any favourites?- She let out a small chuckle as I showed her the pile of DVDs. -I'm more of a book girl, so I'll trust your choice.- I checked the pile for something to my liking. -Scarface seems like an odd choice for a date, right?- -What's it about?- -Oh, it's about this cuban crimelord that gets addicted to coke and becomes a huge douche later on.- Celeste grabbed my shoulders and whispered very quietly. -We're just looking for an excuse to kiss, you don't really need to think that hard about a film.- I blushed, pulling the DVD pile away to a nearby coffee table, and after that putting the movie in the DVD player. -If you say so...-

We both didn't mind much about the movie, we were too busy holding under the blanket. As our eyes met, our lips were halfway there. When they touched I felt a surge of inner peace, my whole body relaxed, it felt like all the insecurity and doubt inside me went away as her arms surrounded me. -Please never go away...- I whispered as I close my eyes while our lips stood close. -I will hold you close, don't worry.- She kissed my forehead and crossed her fingers with mine's. We started kissing again, however, my fingers started slipping somewhere else in the moment. She quickly put my hand aside and got a bit far away from me. -I...I'm sorry...- She quickly moved her head from side to side. -I just... don't wanna go this quick.- I nodded. -I understand... I'm really sorry.- I felt really flustered, I didn't want to make her uncomfortable. -Could you wait...?- I forced a smile despite feeling bad. -Better late than never, I don't want you to feel bad or uncomfortable... I'm really sorry.- She kissed the back of my right hand, smiling widely. -I get it, it was just a slip, you don't have to apologize like a broken record.- She quickly slipped back under my arms. -Look at that, the film ended.- I joked. -I didn't really get it... maybe you could hit the repeat?- As I was raising from the blanket I felt a hand get me back inside. -Not if it means you're gonna leave my side.- I blushed as I slipped under the blanket again, real close to her.
