Owen’s eyes widened in surprise as Lila’s lips met his in a sudden, passionate kiss. For a split second, he was too stunned to react, but then his instincts took over. He dropped his pencil, the forgotten homework scattered across the bed, and wrapped his arms around Lila, pulling her closer. His heart raced as he returned the kiss with equal passion, feeling a rush of warmth and excitement.
He looked into Lila’s eyes with a mixture of surprise and delight as she got on his lap without even breaking their kiss. “Wow,” he murmured, his voice filled with admiration. He smiled, his eyes twinkling with affection. “I guess studying can wait a bit, huh?” He chuckled softly, still holding her close, savoring the moment. Owen wasn’t quite sure where this kiss would take them, but right now, being here with Lila, her taking the lead and getting so close to him, it felt different than the previous kisses they had shared.
Owen’s fingers threaded through Lila’s hair, his touch both tender and passionate. He pulled her back into the kiss, and the world around them faded. Leaving only the sensation of their lips moving together, the sound of their mingled breaths, and the electric connection they shared. Lila’s hands rested on Owen’s shoulders, her fingers tracing gentle patterns that sent shivers down his spine.
For a moment, nothing else mattered. The homework, the worries of the day, and the outside world all melted away. It was just the two of them, lost in each other’s presence, exploring a newfound depth to their relationship. However, the sound of the door opening brought Owen back to reality, back from those thoughts of what this night might bring. Their kiss broke at the shock of being walked in on, and Owen pulled back slightly.
Ethan, Owen’s roommate had walked in. Owen hadn’t spoken to Ethan too much, but they got along decently the times they had spoken. He exchanged a quick glance with Lila, silently acknowledging the awkwardness of the situation. Even if Owen felt a bit thrown off by this situation, he wanted to come across like he had it under control. “Ethan, meet Lila, my girlfriend.” these words were accompanied by a small smirk on his face, showing his pride to call her his girlfriend. He then looked over at Lila, who was still sitting close by, “Lila, meet Ethan, my roommate.”
He then addressed Ethan, “I thought you weren’t supposed to be back for another 2 hours?” His tone was casual, but with a slight undertone of annoyance due to them being interrupted, especially during this moment that had been quite special for Owen. His expression shifted slightly at Ethan’s words about how Lila wasn’t supposed to be there, a mixture of surprise and mild annoyance crossing his features. “Thanks, Ethan,” Owen replied, his tone polite but tinged with a hint of sarcasm. He couldn’t help but roll his eyes inwardly at Ethan’s know-it-all attitude. Still, he kept his composure, not wanting to escalate the situation further, “I’ll make sure she gets back to her dorm safely. Enjoy your shower.”
As Ethan retreated to the bathroom, Owen felt a sense of relief. His attention turned back to Lila, his expression apologetic. “I’m sorry about that,” he said, running a hand through his hair nervously. “I didn’t expect him to barge in like that. I hope he didn’t make you feel uncomfortable or anything.” This hadn’t been too bad of an experience for Owen, he was not embarrassed to be seen by Lila. Honestly, at most he regretted how the interruption had broken the intimacy of the moment. He just didn’t know how she would cope with this, and how she would feel about their private moment being invaded like that. Especially with everything she had been through…
