The sudden embrace… it almost caused her to drop the basket in her surprise, though she did her best to keep it held tightly within her hands. His hug… it was so warm, so comforting, so-… so needy..? Leaning her body over and placing the basket down beside them, Syleste once more righted herself in front of him, her hands (albeit with but a moments of hesitation) both lifting up until she was able to rest them gently against his chest, her touch so soft… so delicate as she slid them up, following the natural curve of his pectorals… his collar bone… until eventually, she brought them to a stop against his shoulders.

That tone of his voice; the way that he was speaking to her… she didn’t like it. This wasn’t him- this wasn’t [i]her[/i] Gage. He was always so cool, so confident, so outgoing; and right now, he was none of that. He almost sounded-… He almost sounded scared…

Something was most definitely wrong…

Her voice was soft… almost inaudible as she called out his name, her own tone worried and giving way that she already knew that something was off as she lifted her right hand up from where it was rested on his shoulder, placing it gently against his cheek, her thumb brushing lightly back and forth over the skin just under his eye for what felt like a lifetime before she finally seemed to make up her mind, her cheeks turning a bright shade of pink as she leant in, her thumb seeking out and coming to a rest at the corner of his mouth as she closed the gap between them, her soft pink lips eventually ending up pressed against his own in a soft and loving kiss.

It was as though her cheeks were on fire, her heart beating wildly within her chest but really, she didn’t care. He needed her- Gage needed her right now, and she was going to be there for him no matter what happened. Her eyes fluttered to a close, her hand slipping from his cheek to instead once more rest against his neck, her fingers curling to match the natural curve as she slid it back, holding him close and causing her cheeks to burn brighter than ever before.

It was only the second time they had kissed… but by God, it felt so nice. If this was what it was like to be in a relationship- what it was like to be in love, then she definitely couldn’t wait for what was coming next for the both of them.

Slowly and rather reluctantly pulling herself back from him, Syleste kept her body encircled within the comfort of his arms, her soft pink lips parting ever so slightly and unseeing eyes opening so that she could look up in the direction she could feel his warm breath fanning out over her face- oh, he was so perfect… Gage was everything that she had ever wanted; and thanks to their forced time together the day before (she would both have to go through, and thank Cassie for it later) she now knew that she was something that he wanted as well.

[color=LightPink]“..it-… it was her, wasn’t it..?”[/color] Shaking her head and causing her hair to fly back and forth over her back, she leant closer into him again, her eyes closing as she buried her head lightly into the nape of his neck, gently nuzzling up against him in an attempt to comfort him as best as she possibly could, [color=LightPink]“..I-I never liked her; I’m sorry, Gage… I just-… she makes me so mad..! She’s just so mean to you...”[/color]

Lowering her gaze slightly, she let her sentence trail off into nothing, unsure of what it was she was supposed to say, or really do now that she had just gone and blurted out the fact that she didn’t like her boyfriend’s mother… And how could she..? The woman was nothing more than a meanie..! Always pushing both of the boys around; just like she had done the day before when they had been in the café.
