Bound To You For A Lifetime

Seeing her this way, Frank pinched her nose. She snapped out of his and looked at him accusingly. Before she could scold him, he sealed her lips with his.

Fireworks went off in both of their minds!

Before he could dive in deeper, the crowd burst out laughing causing both of their frenzied minds to freeze.

Frank stood up hurriedly. He picked up her bag and drew her out of the room. Flora turned back to look at the snacks they were leaving behind and somehow felt reluctant. The popcorn was really good.

He helped her get into the car, then went in after her. As she tried to speak up against his actions, he sealed her lips once more, and this time around, he went deeper, seizing her breath.

As beginners-in-love, their kiss was done clumsily but were still able to feel the connection and sparks. After what felt like forever, he finally let her go, but hugged her to calm down.

"The popcorn was just right," he said with a victorious smile on his face.

"I thought so too," Flora replied as she gasped for air.

Obviously, Frank had lost his interest in the movie, so they decided to take a walk around the area. It was unusually quiet, but the atmosphere was cozy.

"You need to buy a meal for my girlfriends," Flora said in a small voice, shattering the silence.

"You know my schedule. Pick a date."

"Hmmn. I'll check when I'm home."

They went silent again.

"Why did you go out with me?" Frank stopped under the streetlight to ask.

Not expecting him to ask that, she didn't know what to say.

He continued, "did you only go out with me because I said to? I mean, you could have called me crazy and poured coffee on my face."

"Coffee is to expensive to be wasted that way," she laughed at him.

"I did because I wanted to. I didn't take your words to mind, but I was expecting the next meeting and the meeting after that. If I didn't go after you, I felt like I'd regret it."

He stared at her for a while. Then pulled her in for a hug. "I'll try my best to make you happy. You'll never regret choosing me."

He kissed her forehead. Her heart thumped repeatedly.

Then both her eyes. Her lashes fluttered beautifully.

Then the tip of her nose. Her nose itched.

Then both her cheeks. Her cheeks blushed.

Then her chin. Her heart thumped heavier.

Then he made eye contact with her. She stared back unwaveringly.

He once again sealed her lips for the nth time that night.

This time something was different.

It felt more vulnerable.

He passed all his feelings to her through that kiss.

She did the same.

Past life, this life, next life... you're mine.

That was a promise they both made in their hearts.

...

While the couple was busy taking their relationship to the next level, Clara was busy being a good daughter-in-law to Frank's parents.
