Never Thought Of You

Chapter 11: The Aftermath

The drive back to Adina's apartment was filled with a comfortable silence. They held hands, occasionally glancing at each other and smiling. Adina felt like she was floating on air, her heart still reeling from the kiss.

When they arrived at her apartment, Ethan walked her to the door. "I had a great time today," he said, his eyes locked on hers. "Would you like to do it again soon?"

Adina nodded, feeling a sense of excitement. "Definitely," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.

Ethan leaned in and kissed her again, this time softer and more gentle. "I'll call you tomorrow," he said, smiling.

As Adina watched him walk back to his car, she felt a sense of wonder. She couldn't believe how natural it felt to be with Ethan. She felt like she had known him forever, not just a few weeks.

The next day, Ethan called her at work. "Hey, how's your day going?" he asked, his voice cheerful.

Adina smiled, feeling a flutter in her chest. "It's going well," she replied. "Just getting some work done."

They chatted for a bit, discussing their plans for the weekend. Adina felt like she was on cloud nine, her heart still soaring from the kiss.

As they talked, Adina realized that she was falling for Ethan hard. She couldn't believe how much she enjoyed his company, how natural it felt to be with him.

But as they wrapped up their conversation, Adina couldn't help but wonder what the future held for them. Would their relationship work? Would they be able to navigate the challenges that came with dating?
