You Can Open Your Eyes Now

"But I do. Wanna know why? Because it makes me wanna do this." His words rang inside her mind as he pulled her body closer to his. 

His thumb and index finger kept her chin in place as he brought his lips closer to hers. His deep brown eyes never left her forest green ones; they kept holding her gaze in place, keeping her in a trance.

Lillian could feel his warm breath brushing against her lips as he inched closer. She wanted to pull away from him, but she found it too hard to even blink. It felt like her body had refused to listen to her mind. Hence, she chose to shut her eyes, hoping it would make time tick by faster.

He could only smile to himself when he saw her closing her eyes. She looked ethereal. Especially when her eyelashes fluttered like the wings of a butterfly.
