Stuck in between

 It was a short kiss, one that left her hungry for more. Her hand was aching from the work she just finished but a faint sense of satisfaction lingered in her mind. Cedric broke the kiss, knowing if he didn't stop now, he would not be able to soon. 

 They reluctantly parted; it was funny how Abrielle kept on telling herself she wanted nothing to do with him, yet she hoped he didn't stop. 

 "There is no need to be so impatient, we will be stuck with each other for a long time." Cedric teased her, sensing her hesitance as he moved away. His hand held her cheek. She slowly realized what was happening since her brain always lags. 

 She jolted from his hold, hiding her face from him. What was wrong with her? She was making a mistake and she knew it. "I need to get ready for the day." She blurted, trying to change the topic.

 Despite being back from a long journey the previous day Cedric was quite energetic and in an awfully good mood that day.
