"What does this mean?" he asked still not quite believing Fiona Coyne actually kissed him.

"It means whatever we want it to mean," she said definitively. Her heart was beating so fast, yet her words came out calm. It surprised her, but felt right.

Emboldened, Adam reached forward and captured her lips with his. This time there was no questioning what they felt.

Adam Torres had a huge smile on his face. He couldn't lose it if he tried. It was 7am and he was heading to school. His brother Drew had morning football practice. Usually he spent the time reading comic books on the front steps. Today he was joining Fiona Coyne for breakfast. Yesterday they had kissed. Repeatedly. He could safely say they were more than friends now.

Every time he replayed their kisses his insides grew warm. He hadn't been doing it for long, but he already knew kissing Fiona was his favorite activity.

"Adam, we're here," Drew told him. His mother looked at him expectantly and he knew his name had been called more than once. He grinned sheepishly and opened the car door.

"Have a good day at school, honey," she told him.

He nodded and left the car. Drew turned to him as they watched the car drive away.

"So you're meeting her for breakfast?" he asked with a knowing smile. Adam told him everything yesterday, but Drew couldn't resist the chance to tease information out of him.

Adam nodded proudly. "I mean, maybe it counts as a date but it is the morning."

"Doesn't matter what you call it. Hanging out with a girl after you made out is always a milestone," Drew said proud of his little brother.

Adam shrugged. "Guess you're right."

"Have a good time," Drew said as they bumped fists. He then headed towards the school.

Adam nodded and turned in the opposite direction.

Fiona took another sip of her soy latte. She was at a bistro, not far from her condo. On the table she had a croissant with jam and her math textbook. She was doing some light reviewing while waiting for Adam. Her boyfriend? No, it was too soon to concern herself with titles. She could say they were officially more than platonic.

Yesterday Adam admitted that he had feelings for her. She kissed him. Then he kissed her. They had spent the afternoon making out & occasionally eating Tapas at her condo. She was excited to explore this new aspect of their relationship. She and Adam already had a strong connection. Perhaps they would work well together romantically as well.

At least she thought so. Her best friend Holly J was less than thrilled to her about this recent development with Adam. They ended up getting into a fight about it. Holly J had brought up some valid points – they have a 2 year age difference and Fiona is slated to return to New York City at the end of the school year. However, Fiona thought she crossed the line by questioning her decision to date a transman.

"Hey!" Adam said as he approached her with a bright smile. He wore his school uniform, purple polo shirt with khaki slacks, and had a baseball cap on. He pulled her into a hug. Thoughts of her argument with Holly J vanished as the feeling of butterflies in her stomach took hold.

"Morning Fi," he said softly as they pulled away. He kept his eyes on hers.

She smiled flirtatiously. "Morning Torres," she said and then flicked his hat.

He laughed and then moved closer to her. He stopped a few inches shy of touching her lips and asked, "So what's good here?"

Just like that all her nervousness melted away. The Adam she knew stood before her, playful and as sure of himself as ever. 'Two can play that game,' she thought.

She leaned in and whispered into his ear, "I would suggest taking a look at the menu."

She pulled away and was satisfied to see her effect on him. He grinned, deciding to forfeit this round. He reached up and gently rested his hand on her cheek.

"I'm really glad we're dating," Adam said sincerely. Fiona let the warm feeling of joy, relief, and happiness wash over her. She played with the collar of his shirt.

"So that's what this is?" she teased. He nodded as she pulled him closer. Their lips met in a soft, yet powerful kiss.
