Hey! I'm new here, so I'm still trying to get the hang of this website. Obviously, this is my first story. I don't exactly care if people are gonna read/review it. I'm gonna keep writing and posting it regardless of any feedbacks. I just felt like trying to write a fictional story in English, 'cause it's not my first language, but I should get used to its literary 'rules', expressions and blah (for academic reasons). Don't get me wrong - any word from anyone will be welcomed, but not required in order for the story to go on. So just seat back and enjoy :)

Intro

I stared into her brown eyes and couldn't figure out what they were showing. But of one thing I was certain: I had definitely left her with a lot of thinking to do.

I smiled slightly and cupped her face with one of my hands before attaching my lips gently to her forehead, letting them linger on for a while. I closed my eyes and sighed... There was just not where I wanted to kiss her.

"Alex?" I barely heard her voice.

"Yes?" I answered. My lips still against her skin.

She pushed me slightly, just enough so our eyes were again staring into each other.

"I'm gonna break up with him."

I held my breath for a second.

"I'm sorry. For a moment I thought you said you were gonna break up with Nate. What did you say?"

Her chuckle made the hair in the back of my neck stand up.

"You heard it well. I'll break up with Nate." The spark in her eyes made it even harder for me to keep myself from leaning in and kissing her lips. "I love him. He is still the best guy I've ever been with. And he will always be an important part of my life. But I wanna be with you. And I'm not scared anymore." I couldn't move my gaze from her eyes, but I knew she had a smile on when their corners slightly touched. "Because I don't care about anything or anyone anymore. Except you."

Now it was my turn to smile big. I tucked her dark hair behind her ear and pulled her into a tight hug, just to make sure it wasn't another dream.

By the way, the description is a few lines from the song "Try" by The XX. I don't like their new album as I like their first one - which was amazing -, but I thought the lyrics fit into the story and kinda described it in a succint but accurate way. The title is inspired by a lyric from the song "Teardrops", also by The XX.
Also, I rated it T, but I'm not completely sure if that's appropriate. There won't be any sex scenes 'cause I'm not really comfortable writing its details - also, if you want detailed sex you might as well just go get some, right? Hehe. But the characters do enjoy some dirty, sex talk every now and then... Should I rate it M? It's not anything very explicit, but still.
Anyway, I'm just asking because this website scared me a little. It has some pretty strict rules and I don't feel like gettign banned or shit.
