His SisterI lie on my back wrapped up in Mina's arms with my chest rising and falling slowly while I attempt to catch my breath. Her lithe fingers graze the skin on my arms and leave a trail of goosebumps behind. I stare at the ceiling of my car, still in a daze. Our legs are tangled together and her hot skin keeps me warm from the cool air. We lie in silence as her lips occasionally brush against my forehead. Despite the euphoria that I'm feeling, I'm also a little anxious.
"What's wrong?" Mina asks quietly, her lips ghosting over my temple.
"What do you mean?" I ask, lifting an eyebrow.
Mina brings a hand up to my face and presses a thumb against the space between my eyebrows, "When you're worried about something, you get this little crease right here.. So, what's up?"
"Nothing's wrong, I just...I don't want you to think that this is moving too fast. I don't want you to feel rushed." I admit.
Mina shakes her head, "I'm old enough to make my own decisions and I decided that this is what I wanted. I would've been more than comfortable with telling you if I wanted you to stop."
"Yeah, but...I mean, we've only known each other for---"
"That doesn't matter to me, Momo. Time isn't a measurement of feelings. Okay? Don't think like that."
She's right. I don't need a certain amount of days or weeks or even months to be certain of how I feel. I'm so into Mina. I shouldn't feel like I need to put on the brakes if she's okay with going at the pace we're going. So long as she's comfortable, I'm comfortable.
"Besides...You gotta test drive the car before you buy it." Mina smirks, prompting me to groan and try to snake away from her.
She pulls me closer to her and peppers my skin with kisses. I eventually give up and just allow her to continue showering me in affection. She leaves soft pecks on my shoulders and the back of my neck, giving me chills like no other. If I've never known it before, I know that this is bliss. I close my eyes and wish that I could just stay in this very moment forever. Everything is so calm and quiet and just...Perfect. Until Mina's phone starts ringing.
So much for staying in the moment forever.
She slowly sits up
