A Different Night

Slowly, the face of the man she loved drew closer. So close that you can feel his breath. I don't know what got into him, he could have pushed Ashnard away because he wasn't ready. But, he remained silent until finally, his lips and Ashnard's lips pressed against each other. Nina didn't respond at all, she even closed her eyes when Ashnard pressed his lips against hers. Her heart was beating faster and faster, there was a feeling of fear and anxiety, but also a feeling of love. Maybe because of that one feeling he didn't immediately dodge.

Knowing that Nina wasn't kissing him back, Ashnard pulled back his lips. "Sorry," he said.
