Just A Kiss…
By Kayla West
"Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight, just a touch of the fire burning so bright. I don't wanna mess this thing up, I don't wanna push too far. Just a shot in the dark that you just might be the one I've been waiting for my whole life, so baby I'm alright, with just a kiss goodnight…"
Demi and I lay on a grassy hill above Gotham Fair Park, watching the stars and waiting for the fireworks to start. My heart was beating frantically in my chest, but why? I was the freaking boy wonder for crying out loud! Why was I so nervous about hanging with Demi? She was my best friend! "Maybe because you have feelings for her, like Alfred and Wally told you?" my brain yelled at me. I guess it was true. I did have a crush on Demi… I just didn't want to act on it yet. Or, couldn't get the damn courage to do anything about it.
All of a sudden, she sighed, shivering in the cool fall air. She shifted closer to me, trying to stay somewhat warm, her right leg tangling with mine. I froze for a second, before moving my arm to act as a pillow for her. She made a sound of contentment, and I'm sure my face was the color of her deep red hair. I moved my head to rest on hers, my lips barely brushing her hair.
Her deep red hair was sprawled around her head and over my arm. She looked perfectly normal, except for a blinking blue light by her ankle and her knee that shone through her skin toned tights. She wore her favorite sapphire converse with a white above the knee length skirt, and a white baby doll top with long sleeves under it and sapphire accents. The blue matched her big eyes perfectly, and contrasted beautifully with her scarlet hair. I slowly sat up, and removed my leather jacket, laying it over our legs, as her left leg, which was unable to feel warmth, stuck out oddly. The fireworks started, and I looked down at her, and my heart melted. A sudden courage surged through me, and I couldn't hide it any longer. I quickly leaned down pressing my lips to her soft ones. I felt her inhale sharply, before accepting it, and wrapping her arms around my neck lightly. This was our first kiss, and so we were both nervous, we had been best friends, but drowning in the sensations, the warmth the other provided, and the friction, glorious friction.
We parted after a few seconds, and were both breathing heavier. She grinned up at me, and said, much to my surprise "I thought you would never figure it out…." I looked at her, shocked. "You… you knew? Or…" she laughed, and pulled me down, stroking my hair. "I think I knew before you realized it… It took me a month or so to get used to the idea, and I realized…. I am happy with it. With you. That's why I broke it off with Travis 2 months ago." "TWO MONTHS? Like… when that little girl at the auto shop..?" she nodded, giggling and kissing my cheek.
Unfortunately the night had to end, and Demi had to go back to Star City. Dick looked nervous when Demi walked over to wish him good night before getting in the car. She put her hands on his shoulders, and blue eyes clashed, "Baby, I'm alright with just a kiss goodnight…" she whispered. They leaned in, and touched lips, freely, lovingly, sweetly. They then hugged tenderly, and Demi disappeared into the dark Gotham night. This was the beginning of something special; Dick could feel it, as his fingers brushed his lips where she had been moments before.
