I may really feel everybody’s gaze on us, my legs started to tremble when he leaned even nearer. His eyes closed and his hand gripped towards my neck as he pushed me shut sufficient to affix our lips in a kiss. 

And he kissed me, his backside lips delicately brushed on my higher lips then he slowly entered along with his tongue inside that little slit as our lips joined in a sluggish passionate dance. His hand gripped over my neck to drag me even nearer to him, as his different hand stroked my hair away from my face, earlier than setting on my cheek.

Our tongues touched, first shily after which extra eagerly to affix in a chase, every time they met I felt our craving for the opposite colliding and our our bodies calling one another.

After we departed, a noise of individuals clapping their fingers and guffawing crammed the room, we opened our eyes and all my buddies and his buddies have been observing us.

My cheeks heated up and I blushed as an harmless teenager who had simply given her first kiss.

I coated my face with my fingers for the shyness whereas Cameron laughed and grimaced at their buddies who have been clapping their fingers.

“Cameron lastly kissed a woman! It had been 29 years you guys!” Considered one of them screamed making Cameron snort and roll his eyes.

He hugged me after which rotated to elevate his glass nonetheless stuffed with gin.

“Let’s toast to the perfect girlfriend in the whole world,” Cameron stated hugging me from behind in entrance of everybody, all of the visitors lifted their glasses as properly so I rushed to slouch ahead to select my glass too.

“To Lily Waldorf.” He stated after ensuring everybody had lifted their glasses.

All of us clicked our clothes collectively in a toast after which took just a few sips, Cameron was nonetheless hugging me till he sat on a close-by chair and pulled my hand to comply with him main me to take a seat on his lap. 

We continued to speak and drink for yet another hour till John stood up, “It was a pleasure to satisfy you guys.” He stated smiling at my sister and Joanna. 

“I hope we’ll proceed seeing one another for a really very long time.” He then smiled at me, subtly saying he wished to satisfy them once more and that he wished a future for us. 

“I’m additionally glad that my pal Tom managed to maintain alcohol down to not embarrass me along with his typical drunk scenes.” He laughed gesturing to his pal who lifted his glass full of water. All of us joined in amusing. The lady who hugged me at first insisted we take an image altogether to rejoice the event so she stretched her telephone sufficient afar and clicked a selfie.

“I’m going so as to add you on Fb and tag you!” She stated as I placed on my coat.

“Thanks.” I cheered all Cameron’s buddies one final time earlier than I walked out with Cameron. 

We acquired in his automobile and he waited for everybody to go away earlier than he began the automobile.

He drove again to his home, I smiled throughout the whole automobile drive. I used to be the happiest lady in the whole world, such a easy gesture like assembly his buddies meant the whole world to me.

“You are my first girlfriend Lily, I imply actual girlfriend nonetheless my past love. They are saying once you meet your past love, you both stick with them endlessly otherwise you break up and you find yourself lacking them until the tip of your days.” 

I swallowed down, I did not need to find yourself lacking him, I used to be positive that if one thing occurred between Cameron and me it will be devastating and deleterious.

I doubt I’d ever survive such a painful break-up.

And dwelling with out him could be much more heart-wrenching. Earlier than I even discovered the best phrases to reply, he continued:

“I will not let the second possibility occur, Lily. I’m telling you this as soon as and for all. I swear on my total firm, life, and probably the most valuable issues in my life, I’m not going both to go away you or hand over on us. Ever. I’ll battle for you towards whoever will stand in the midst of our love, Lily.” 

His eyes darkened and his pupils widened, his jaw tensed and his low voice resonated within the automobile as a promise, on the identical time nearly as a threatening.

Regardless of these phrases gave the impression to be dangerously possessive to the brink of normality. I nonetheless discovered reassurance and happiness in his phrases. As a result of I may really feel the enjoyment and peace that had grown in my chest after I heard him remedy my concern of us breaking apart sooner or later.

There he was, swearing to me he won’t ever break up, and I knew very properly that each phrase which escaped from his mouth was nothing however the bare reality. 

He let the silence lay over us for some prompt after which he swallowed right down to proceed, “if sooner or later you need to depart me for no matter cause, Lily. I’ll perceive and allow you to fly away however in several instances, I’ll by no means allow you to stroll away from me.” 

His voice betrayed him for a fraction of an prompt when he sounded extra altered and anxious as if his phrases weren’t so casually spoken in spite of everything. 

I questioned if that was solely a sense I had about him or if one thing had occurred which was making him really feel that method about me.

Was somebody threatening our happiness? Was that individual Carl? Or was Cameron solely afraid that we’d find yourself like many {couples} who sooner or later notice they have been by no means made to be collectively? No matter was his cause I did not need to dig in an excessive amount of. I simply wished to carry onto him and what we had proper now and search our happiness in that. 

“I’m not going wherever, Cameron,” I stated to reassure him.

“I’ll by no means go wherever. You grew to become my secure pleased place so there may be nothing I’d do purposely or not purposely to harm you, Cameron.”

A smile grew on his lips and he tilted his head to the aspect earlier than leaning ahead. 

“Me both. Which means that we’ll be a type of {couples} who will keep collectively for the remainder of their lives.” His voice turned extra assured and sincerely pleased. As if the doubts he had earlier than have been defeated by just a few phrases of reassurance. As if our guarantees and needs could be sufficient to seal our future collectively.

Possibly our needs would develop into true.. I could not wait to seek out out.
