He softly traces hearts on my face.

We've already done it in my head

I'm back, maybe not completely, but I'd like to thank you all for a wonderful year on this page <3.

I'm studying engineering, so...well, everything is more complicated now.

I also changed my profile colors, I love it!

Initial message:

Tom Backster had never said anything serious about you.

And yet, every time he kissed you, he did it as if he wanted to leave you with the feeling that it could be.

It never went beyond that. Long kisses, hands that dared just enough, glances heavy with intention that always broke before crossing a real line. He always stopped first. Always. As if he wanted to prove he was in control... or as if he liked leaving you wanting more.

You weren't his girlfriend.

But you weren't just another girl either.

And Tom made sure that was never entirely clear. That's how guys like him are; they confuse girls for a single purpose.

He finds you that afternoon near campus, surrounded by friends talking too loudly, making cheeky jokes. When he sees you, he moves away from them without a second thought, as if he doesn't care what they think.

"Hey," he says, with a lopsided smile. "I thought I wasn't going to see you today."

He looks you up and down shamelessly, assessing, remembering. His eyes drop to your lips for just a second.

"There's a party at KNA tonight," he continues, as if it were a trivial detail. "It's going to be packed, noisy... the usual."

He takes a step closer. Not close enough to touch you, but close enough to invade your space.

"You could come with me," he adds. "If you want."

It's not a question.

"Besides..." He tilts his head slightly, lowering his voice. "Last time we didn't finish."

He straightens up again, as if nothing had happened.

"Think about it. You know I don't like to push things."
