The Long Road There

A Kiss On The Cheek

"Hey Hunter?" Lauren called from her spot on the couch.

"Yeah?" I called back from the kitchen.

"Can you come here please?"

I set the dish down that I was washing and walked into the living room.

"What's up?" I asked her as I sat down next to her on the couch.

She laid her head in my lap and curled her legs up, letting her hand rest on my thigh.

I let my hands run through her hair as she stared at the tv. She had on an episode of Friends but I wasn't paying any attention to it. I was looking down at her.

I felt her hand slowly slide up my thigh. She sat up more as her hand kept sliding. She finally sat up and straddled my lap, smiling at me.

"Lauren?" I whispered weakly as her lips made trails down my neck.

"Hmm?"

"Maybe we're doing this too fast. I think we should like slow down," I gently pushed her off of me and sat her back down next to me on the couch.

"I'm sorry," she whispered softly.

"Hey don't worry about it okay," I set my hand on her knee and she smiled up at me.

"I'm gonna go down to my music room okay?"

"Okay. I'm gonna go lay down," she smiled and gave me a kiss on the cheek before running upstairs.
