Love You Out Loud

[Elizabeth Edison]

Elizabeth felt just slightly self-conscious when Beau started to look at her in that soul-searching way of his. Twice, she looked away, finding the weight of his stare a little unbearable. But it felt good, being looked at by the boy she was pretty damn sure she was in love with.

It didn't take long for Beau to drift and she couldn't help but be reminded of the last time she put someone to sleep with her kiss. Maybe Zoe wasn't the only one with the paralysing abilities.

With a last kiss on his lips, she tucked him in, pulling her waste basket near the edge for convenience. She walked out of the room to grab a bottle and filled it with water before returning to her room to look for some aspirin so Beau could wake up to that tomorrow.

As she climbed back into bed, she caught sight of the panties and crinkled her nose. Hmm...maybe that's one for tomorrow.
