Charlie’s fading grin slowly came back. “You love me?” he asked. “I thought you could never love a conceited cold jerk..” he grinned widely at his reference to his attempted kidnap in NYC .
Amanda looked back up at him. She replied, “Things change.. but this hasn’t come full circle yet..” she sighed, studying his gorgeous green eyes.
Charlie wrapped his arm around her, and leaned closer. His lips were centimeters away from hers.
“Howbout now?” he asked, barely audible to me and Sam.
Amanda struggled to tame her loudly beating heart and rushing breath. “It’s a little closer,” she struggled to answer.
He softly kissed her. “Now?” he asked, barely not touching her lips.
I could tell that Amanda wasn’t breathing. In a few seconds, though, she caught herself. “Maybe..”
He kissed her again, slightly harder than before. Then he pulled away, even less than before.
“Amanda?” he asked.
“I love you.” she answered.
