Alex snorted. "Yeah. I told him that there was this girl I'd been fooling around with." He rolled his eyes. "Of course I didn't tell him, but... he just sort of knew. Gave me the lecture about being careful..." His fingers touched her hair and he leaned his forehead on his wrist, shrugging vaguely.
"He practically gave me permission," he added playfully, tugging at the edge of her shirt, then letting his fingers trail up her wrist to her arm, to her cheek. "I told him I'd kissed you though," he said softly, fingers touching her chin and lifting it a bit. "And that I liked it..." Alex pressed his lips to hers, sighing at the completely new feel of it, combined with the movement of the train.
