Black-Eyed Susan

Cilia Arsu laid on the ground. She hugged and kissed her beloved miniature snouzer.

Toki sniffed her face and ears.

She smiled and laughed. "Oi! Toki! That tickles!"

The dog licked her right cheek.

She laughed harder. "Ah! Ew! Yuck! Sloppy, wet kisses!"

The dog pawed at her bangs.

"Ah, no! Not the bangs, not the bangs!"

Toki licked Cilia's lips.

Cilia grimaced. "Puh! Puh! Gross! Stop tryin' ta French kiss me!"

Suddenly, a shadow came across Cilia and her dog and someone laughed. "So, Cilia. You make out with your dog?"

Ken? She laid her arms on the ground and stared up at him. "What the heck? Why aren't you at soccer practice with Davis?"

"I couldn't practice with all the racket."

She crossed her arms over her chest. "Ch! Yeah, right. Tell the truth. You're an awful liar, you know that, Ken?"

He sighed and rolled his eyes as he laid beside her. "Fine. You want me to tell you the truth? I will." He turned over on his side. He faced her. He reached over to her. "I wanted to be with you. Why else would I be here?"

She laughed. "Ken! That tickles!"

"Ha, ha! I knew it! You shouldn't have let down your guard!"

"Oh, just you wait, Ken!"

"You're hopeless, you know that?"

"Whatever!"

He gently tugged on her thick, blonde hair.

Intense cold chills chased through her and intense heat rose from somewhere deep within her and spread along her flesh. Her heart skipped and began to pound. "E-Eeee…K-Ken…" What the heck? She gulped and began to slightly tremble. I don't understand. Why haven't I felt this way before? Why feel this way, now? Why feel this way when he touched my hair? What is this I feel? Is it right to feel this? She sat up.

Ken sat up. He stared at her with concern. "What's wrong?"

She looked at him.

"What's up with that look?"

She shook her head.

"Cilia. Tell me what's wrong."

She sighed. "I'm fine."

"What did you give me that look for? You looked at me as if you didn't know me. You looked so confused. That freaked me out."

"Heh. Sorry about that."

"It's alright. Why don't you tell me what bothers you?"

I feel so embarrassed. "I'm too embarrassed to say."

What could possibly embarrass her that much? He gently ran his fingers though her hair.

Again, intense cold chills chased through her and intense heat rose from somewhere deep within her and spread along her flesh. Her heart skipped and began to pound. He's doing it on purpose! I can tell! "Ken! Cut it out!"

Bingo! "You have a low sense of love."

"Shut up, Ken!"

She's embarrassed. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and pulled her close.

She gasped and her eyes widened. "Ken?" Her heart pounded wildly inside her chest. I don't wanna force anything on him.

"You're so cute."

"Ken. Stop tryin' ta seduce me." If he doesn't stop, he's gonna end up as my second kiss. He may not want that. She squirmed in his arms.

He let her go.

She turned around. She faced him.

He closed his eyes and placed his lips upon hers.

She blinked at him, then, closed her eyes. Again, intense cold chills chased through her and intense heat rose from somewhere deep within her and spread along her flesh. Her heart skipped and began to pound. The intense chills and heat felt stronger and stronger. Her heart pounded wilder and wilder.

When their lips parted, he told her, "I love you."

She told him, "I love you, too." I must keep a clear head. The guy doesn't always do that.

"You're a good kisser."

She giggled. "Thanks." I mustn't allow emotions to get in the way. If I wish for this relationship to last, I mustn't rush things.

"Where'd you learn to kiss?"

"I read manga and watch anime." Lame, but it's the truth.

Hikari Maiden: I thought of my boyfriend when I typed this.
