Song - About You (The 1975)

"What can I do to make you stay?" He asked, his hold on my wrist firm but gentle.

I could feel my heart thumping against my chest and my cheeks heating up because of the proximity between us.

"Just...kiss me like you mean it," I chuckled and said. I was trying to act cool about it. He'd never do that, I said to myself.

"Just that?"

I looked into his eyes and realised he wasn't playing. He'd do it.

He waited for my reply and I slowly gave him a hesitant nod, still wondering if I'm reading him wrong.

He took two steps towards me, held my face between his palms, gently peeked into my soul, pushed some hair from my face aside, and slowly captured my lips with his.

My heart stopped for a split second.

What was that...

I followed his lead and merged into his rhythm. I had always wondered what having his lips on mine would feel like.

This.

Is this what it feels like to be desired?

One of his hands slid across my back and wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer to him. I felt my knees buckling and his grip tightening. He grazed his fingers through my hair as he deepened the kiss.

This is...something else.

He slowly parted from me, still holding me close to him and asked,

"Will you stay now?"
