“Honestly,” Ernie said with a bit of a playful scoff, “someone needs to be watching over me to make sure I’m not doing anything dumb, and we all know that it can’t be me.” He gave her a bright smirk. It was almost normal, to be standing there with Ellie, almost like nothing had ever happened.
And then she was kissing him. He’d never thought that he wanted to kiss Ellie, but now that it was happening, well, Ernie didn’t know why he’d never thought about it before. Her lips were soft and tasty and brilliant. He gave into her demanding lips, kissing her back with as much force, and pressing her back against the counters gently.
