The Kiss.
“Wangi Indomienya udah ganti jadi wangi Marlboro, kok masih belum maju dari tadi?”
The long-awaited moment has come to an end, and Brian knew he would never let this chance to lose. He held her right side of her face and immediately brushed his lips against her cheek lightly and still that light touch sent shivers through her nerves, shivers that made her whole-body tremble.
“I happen to know that you’re a big fan of Mortal Instruments series, which the series I love too by chance.” He stopped for a while and stared deeply to her ravishing eyes, and continued in low-croaky voice, “And I want to do you like what Jace did to Clary.”
Brian kemudian membelai lembut pipi gadis yang hanya terpaut jarak sepuluh senti di depannya sambil tetap menatap manik mata calon gadisnya itu dalam-dalam. ”If you want me to stop, tell me now,” He whispered.
While Stefi still being silent and said nothing, Brian landed his lips on hers. “Or now.” He was still there, traced the bottom of her lips slowly, enjoyed every second like it was the last seconds he had in his life. “Or now,” His mouth finally brushed against the hollow of her temple. “Or—”
But it is too late for Brian to finished up his sentence, because what happened in the next second is that the girl already took over the control.
They kissed like there is no tomorrow. They kissed like they were finally having a chance to sip some water after suffered a long drought. They kissed like they will die right in the next blink. They kissed like they were in love; an undying love.
Brian kissed Stefani like Perry kissed Aria in Under the Never Sky trilogy—he kissed her slowly, so he could follow her temper. It was so amazing, yet a bit devastating for him, knowing that there were not any further steps that he could take.
His lips brushed her lips, softly delicately, like butterfly wings, just long enough that he could inhale her breath. He felt the warmth of her skin and the taste of raspberry lipstick lingered far after she had gone.
Stefani has the same thing to be compared to Aria as well. Her scent, finally Brian found the right description of what Stefi smells like. Her scent was brave and strong and certain, just as right as what Perry described Aria’s.
“Ste…” Brian called her name right after he broke the kiss. The girl responded with a smile on her eyes, “Apa, Bri?”
“I… I don’t think I’ve ever been kissed like that,” Brian said, still with a croaky voice—which kinda drives her crazier as ever—and looking dazed.
“Stealing Ginny Weasley’s line, hm?” She arched her right eyebrow, causing the guy scrunched his nose and let out a tiny laugh. “Iya. Gua ga kreatif banget, ya?”
“Lo yang bilang sih...” Stefani looked at his eyes and said, “But yeah, I guess you should be kissed that way.”
“Kayaknya kebali—”
“But only by me.” She ended it with a smile which made Brian once again scrunched his nose and gave her a mischievous smile.
“Possessive now, are we?”
“Absolutely.”
