“I agree that assuming isn’t the best thing to do, and perhaps I’m at fault for that too. So I apologize. When it comes to me though, you don’t have to hold back. At all. Trust me.” There was the smile he couldn’t quite hold back. “Better keep thoughts in your head. If you want everything, why not go for it?”
“You said you didn’t want to rush,” she pointed out. “I did go for it, remember, and you turned me down.” She bit at her lip. “Does that mean I can have a kiss now?”
Now he was losing his mind. His old age must be catching up with him. “Yes, yes I did. I’m thinking I’m starting to lose my mind, or something along those lines.” The actor hummed to himself for a moment before replying. “I don’t see why not.” Without waiting for a response, he leaned forward, capturing Summer’s lips in a small kiss; not too quick, or too passionate, just something good to start off with to at least express his feelings correctly.
Summer tried to chase his mouth for a second when he pulled away, before dropping back off her toes. She gave him a shy, very pleased smile, and wormed her way into his arms.
