I was waiting for the bus and noticed that a boy was trying to put his arm around a girl’s shoulder. As he was half way though her shoulder he suddely stopped. I don’t know what was going through his mind that made him stop, but he lowered his hand.

I was standing just behind them, pretending not to notice.

Within a minute or so, he reached out again and slowly placed his hand on her shoulder. She shivered and smiled back at him. He picked something off her shoulder without saying a word, then drew his hand away. He looked at her, he seemed happy. He gently rested his hand on her shoulder again.
She smiled and turned to look at him. He looked at her, and their eyes remained locked for a long time.

They held each other’s gaze for so long that I started saying in my head, come on, kiss, kiss!
