A Little Faith

We broke apart only a few moments later, and with how loud our lips smack as she drew away, Irene must have really reeled her head back at lightspeed. Kiss didn't even last that long at all, just a couple of seconds and I doubt we've even exceeded past the double digits.

It was the build-up part that felt like an eternity… the act itself, though? Gone in a literal blink of an eye… not that I even had the chance to blink if I wanted to anyway.

I slowly opened my eyes again. 

"Say what you want to say, go on..." 

The first thing I saw was the quiver of her narrow lips, on either side were her cheeks flushed to a bright rosy-red. Overall, It was a very stony-faced expression that I was being greeted by, especially with how rigid her stare was, but it was also one so badly worn.

"I'm waiting for it."
