*just a quick authors note. I’ve been playing around with writing from two different POVs for this story. But it’s always told from 216’s POV unless otherwise mentioned, hope you enjoy**

Chapter 5

His lips were soft and the sensation I felt when his lips met mine was a feeling that I didn’t want to end. I didn’t know things could feel so good, so right. But everything about him and I was just that, right.

The kiss only lasted briefly and I only know that, that was what we just did because 13 told me. It seemed to me that he knew more about this stuff than I did. I guess his Original was into that sort of thing. I’ve seen peoples lips touching, but there was never any real context behind it other than romance. I wish we were more prepared for life and taught real meaningful things. Why did we have to learn about the Original at all if we were just meant to be spare parts?

I shook myself out of my thoughts when I noticed 13 was staring at me intently.

“What are you staring at handsome?” I asked him, biting my lower lip.

“You. You’re just so beautiful. I can’t get enough of you. Come here.” He replied.

So I got up and went to him. He grabbed me and sat me down on his lap and held me there and began to stroke my face and play with my hair.

“Easily the best decision of my life was to come here and be with you.” He said to me and I just smiled. “I know we really had no say in our decisions up there but I am glad I went with my gut and followed you. I would follow you anywhere.” He continued.

“You know I wasn’t taught many things about romance… I’ve heard people speak of love, I’ve seen people embrace, I’ve seen them kiss as you call it… But never anything more. I feel like you know more about it than I do. Is there more? More to experience together? More to feel?” I asked him.

“There is more. I feel like we should take it one step at a time because this is all so new for the both of us. But I want to experience everything with you and only you.”

“Me too.”

13’s POV

She didn’t know as much about certain things as I did, but she also knew more about other things than me and I think that was good for us. I could sit here forever stroking her hair. She quickly became everything I needed to be content and I was perfectly fine with that.

“I want to kiss you again.” I said, pressing my lips gently on her forehead.

“I want you to kiss me again too.” She said, biting her lip and looking up at me with those eyes. Those beautiful hazel eyes.

I cupped her face in my hands and brought her lips to mine, kissing her gently. This time letting it last a little longer and was definitely more passionate. I pulled away from her slightly just enough for our lips to part and I felt her smile against my mouth. Her happiness doing something to me, I grabbed her waist and when I did she grabbed my shirt and pulled me back in and we were kissing again.

She was sensational and took my breath away. I could kiss her all day if she’d let me. For right now though, I was content with her laying with me. Everything is right when she is by my side.

216’s POV

Everything about him; his smile, his eyes, his lips, was perfection. How he held me was enough to make me feel at peace.

“I’m hungry.” I said pulling away from him slightly.

“Don’t move. Let me get something for us.” He said pulling me back down.

“Okay, but hurry up.” I said laughing.

With that he walked away. It was taking him a while and I was starting to grow concerned.

I got up and walked toward the waterfront and saw him sitting next to a fire making something for us to eat.

“There you are.” I said brushing my hand across his back. “I was getting worried.”

“Sorry, it just took a while to catch them.” He said pointing to the fish over the fire.

“It’s okay, maybe I just missed your company… I don’t really know how fast or slow time passes here.”

“I know what you mean.” He said pulling me down onto his lap again. It was quickly becoming my favorite place. I gave him a quick peck and then got up so he could finish what he was doing.

****************

Night fell. I went to my pack that I filled up from the space station and pulled out a sheet. The only one that I managed to shove in there and I headed to the waterfront again, laying it on the sand.

I sat down staring at the water and the stars. I heard 13 approaching me and smiled up at him.

“Sit with me.” I said to him, smiling.

“Always.” He replied.

13’s POV

I sat down with her under the stars and pulled her in between my legs. She glanced back at me and I couldn’t help but to kiss her. Our lips fit together perfectly. I turned her around and sat her on my lap facing me, kissing her again more forcefully than ever before.

I had to have her, to feel her.

“Did you mean it when you said you wanted to experience everything you wanted to with me?” I asked her.

“Yes, I did.” She said catching her breath.

“I want to too. I think I’m ready to show you what else there is.”

“What are you waiting for?

With that I pulled her into me and kissed her slowly. “Do you trust me?” I asked.

She nodded and kissed me again and I grabbed her shirt and slowly pulled it over her head.
