She gripped his waist coat a little tighter as the kiss continued. She wanted more. There was a tiny little voice telling her they should stop but it was drowned out by the pounding of her heart. And then he broke the kiss and she was just about to catch her breath when he spoke. Ashley smiled and she was almost positive that she had tears in her eyes.
"I love you, too." And she meant it with everything that she was. She knew he wouldn't have said it without truly meaning it and she wanted to scream it for everyone to hear. Instead she put her hand on the back of his head and pulled him into another kiss, the hand on his knee moving just a tiny but higher.
