Kiss the Girl
Susannah's friend Gina has finally left, and when my querida gets back from the airport it will be just the two of us again. The way it's always been, and the way I'd like it to stay.
I hear a sound outside. Susannah is back already.
"Hello," I say as she enters the room.
"Oh. Hi," She replies brightly.
I have not seen Susannah since that day in the hospital. I thought I'd leave her alone for a while to enjoy her last few days with Gina before she leaves. She is still covered in cuts and bruises but looks a lot better than when I last saw her.
"How are you feeling?" I ask.
"Me? I'm great!" She smiles.
That smile is so amazing. No matter how bruised her face is. And those eyes: Two beautiful emeralds, beaming at me. Suddenly, I'm out of words. Susannah doesn't say anything either. She takes out her homework and sits on her bed.
She looks down at her work so I can't see her eyes anymore. But I don't look away. I look at her lips.
I have wanted to kiss her before now but every time I have either been interrupted or decided against it. What would happen if I did kiss her? Would she like it and return the kiss? Or would she pull away and never speak to me again? Is it worth the risk?
Should I?
I really do not know.
I look at her. It's so quiet. She's concentrating very hard on her work. She looks so beautiful.
I start to go over to her bed then change my mind and sit back down on the window seat. What if she did decide not to speak to me again? I don't think I could stand that. I have loved her almost since the day I met her. Do I really want to risk our friendship?
I put my feet up on the window seat and lean against my knees. I hear a thud as spike enters through the window. I begin to pet him and see that Susannah has looked up from her work, giving me another glimpse of those emeralds. Then she looks back down at her homework.
I am still wondering what I should do. There is nothing I want more at this moment more than to feel her lips on mine. Just do it, part of me is saying, Gina is gone ant there is no one else here. I might not get another chance. It has to be now.
I go over and sit next to her. She looks up at me and smiles but doesn't say anything. Then she looks back at her work.
I look over her shoulder. She has not got much work done. She stops writing for a minute and waits for me to stop looking at her. I smile and gently brush some hair out of her face. She looks up at me. And this time she does not look away.
She smiles at me, her eyes lighting up. I am not sure if I can do this.
She stops smiling and just looks into my eyes. I could not look away now if I wanted to.
As if in a trance I start to inch forward unable to stop myself.
Susannah moves forward too and I forget all the consequences of what I am about to do. This is just too wonderful. Her lips are only inches from mine now.
We move closer and closer until we're almost touching.
There is a knock at the door and we spring apart. David comes in and I curse under my breath then dematerialise.
A/N: So what did you think? Did you like it? Don't kill me for the ending please. I was trying to make it fit in with the books.
Review please?
