Lonely Boy

Oh, oh-oh I got a love that keeps me waiting

Rhett pulls away and steps back. I think he's going to yell at me, but instead he smiles. I've never seen him smile so big, and I feel like crying. He puts his forehead against mine and we just stare at each other for what feels like an eternity. His breath is hot and smells like peppermint.

The goosebumps come back, and I can't help but feel nervous. This is a lot different than holding hands. I like it though. I really, really like it.

His cheeks are flushed pink, and I think mine are too.

"Mila," he breathes, cupping my face with his hands.

"Rhett, I–,"

He stops me with a kiss.
