Chapter 4: Goodnight Kisses

Sora drove me home in a silent drive. He occasionally shot glances at me and I'd reply by grinning at him and blushing at the same time. Plus, we were kind of beat from our double date and from school today. I'm surprised Sora was able to drive correctly considering when he's tired, he just passes out and goes soundly to sleep. As we drove, we thought about how Roxas and Namine's date went. I have a feeling it went really well and that they're together now. I just love seeing Namine and Roxas together. They're so cute! So does Sora. He thinks they're meant for each other just like we are.

After turning left on the street where we lived, we arrived at my house a minute later. Sora lived next door, so he parked on the side of the street in front of his house. He had trouble parallel parking, but I don't blame him, I can't parallel park either. When Sora finally parked correctly, he sighed and turned off his car and leaned back in his seat. He let out a deep breath as he leaned back and I did the same thing. After I did what Sora did, we both looked at each other and laughed. We both then got out of the car and Sora locked it up before grabbing my hand.

"So, I guess I'll see you tomorrow?" Sora asked.

"Yeah." I nodded. "Actually, do you want to sit down for a while?"

"Umm…sure." Sora said before plopping himself down on the grass on my front lawn. I sat next to him. "So, what do you want to talk about?"

"I don't know actually. I never know what to talk about." I replied.

"Oh! I know something!" Sora said balling his hand into a fist. "Let's tell secrets."

"What?" I asked laughing a bit.

"Yeah. Don't worry. I won't tell anybody." Sora held out his pinky. "Pinky swear?"

"Okay." I grinned and hooked my pinky with his. We then let go and locked our hands together. "Umm…I'm afraid of…butterflies. I know it's weird, but I just get…terrified when I see one!"

"That's alright. Now, here's mine." He then took a deep breath. "I'm into chick flicks." I then laughed and he laughed too. "I'm not even joking! I love them!"

"Really?" I asked. He nodded in reply. "Okay, umm…you were my first kiss." I said locking my hand with his other hand.

"Really?" Sora asked looking into my eyes. I nodded blushing. "You were my first too." Sora said that as he leaned in and kissed me on the cheek. I just blushed.

"Wow, that's hard to believe considering you're good at it." I laughed.

"I'm good at it?" Sora asked putting his arms around his head and resting his head on them.

I nodded. Wait a minute, did I just tell Sora he's a good kisser? I asked myself. He then put his arm around me and pulled me closer to him. I liked being close to Sora. I felt really safe around him. Sora then leaned into my face closer as he was going to plant a kiss on me, but then I just realized something. I gently moved him away from me a bit and took out my cell phone. It was curfew. I should be inside my house. Sora groaned as I stood up and brushed the dirt from the yard off my pants.

"Sorry, Mom's rules." I said rolling my eyes.

"No problem." He laughed locking his hands with mine.

"So, we still have plans for tomorrow?"

"Oh! I just remembered! I'm working a whole bunch tomorrow! Two jobs, but I'm getting paid $10 an hour for this. But anyway, um…yeah…I have to work almost the whole day, but tomorrow night, I'll come pick you up after work, and we'll go to a movie. Just the two of us. No double dates or friends or anything else." Sora said trying to think up of something.

"Promise?" I asked.

"Promise. In fact, the movie's your pick. What'd you want to see?"

"Well, I've always wanted to see Pride and Prejudice, but you probably wouldn't like it…" I began to say.

"Pride and Prejudice it is then!" I looked at him in shock. "Remember, I like chick flicks." I laughed then remembering what he told me.

"Okay, then it's a date." I said before brushing my lips on his own and then whispering into his ear. "You know I love you, right?" He then nodded. I then turned around and walked to my front door. "Call me tomorrow when you get off work."

"Right!" Sora agreed.

I then turned and walked into my house. My mom was sitting there watching TV. So, if she was there in the living room, then where was Namine? She couldn't have been out with Roxas still. A lot of places close at this hour. I decided to check my room since that's the only other interesting place besides the living room. I walked up the stairs into my room and found Namine in some Mickey Mouse pajamas sitting on the floor in front of my bed playing "OO7" on my PS2. Namine's into video games? Wait, she's half of me. So, whatever I'm into, she's into. I could tell she was frustrated by the way she was pushing the buttons really hard and fast and moving the analog stick everywhere.

"Namine?" I asked.

"Die! Die! Die!" Namine replied referring to the video game. "Yeah, Kai?"

"I just wanted to know how your date with Roxas went." I said as I changed out of my clothes and into my Spongebob pajamas.

"Oh!" She then paused the game and sat next to me on my bed. "It was awesome! Roxas is so sweet! And he's such a romantic!"

"Did he kiss you?" I asked getting excited.

"Yes! And he's a good kisser too."

"I'm not surprised considering the fact that Sora's a good kisser as well. What else did he say?"

"That…" Namine's face began to flush a deep shade of red. "He loves me."

"Aww, I'm so happy for you!" I hugged Namine. "You know what, tonight's such a good night that I'm not as tired as I was ten minutes ago."

"Well then let's hook up your second control and play some video games!" Namine said grabbing my second controller. I plugged it in and the two of us began playing against each other.

Sapphire's POV

Riku drove me home for a very silent fifteen minutes. Well, you couldn't really blame me because of the fact that I was nervous, and it was late at night and who knew what Riku was thinking at the moment. So, once we arrived at my house, Riku parked right in front of my driveway and turned off his car and sat for a minute. I didn't know why he just sat there. Maybe he truly was thinking of something or maybe he was just tired or something like that. I just unbuckled my seat belt and grabbed my purse before opening the door.

"Well, thanks for the ride." I grinned and thanked him. He looked at me and just grinned back simply. "I'll see you tomorrow…at the beach."

"The beach?" He asked. I nodded. "Oh yes! Right!" I shut the door and began to walk towards the front door to my house. Then I heard Riku get out of his car. "Sapphire, wait!"

"Is something wrong?" I asked.

"No, not at all. It's just that…um…" Riku stuttered. "We should probably sit down for this."

I nodded and blushed wondering what Riku was trying to say and do. Riku came up and locked his hand in mine as he led me over to the bench that was on my front porch. He let go of my hand as I sat down and he sat down next to me. Then he started tapping his feet on the ground probably trying to think of what to do next. I just asked him if anything was wrong and he said everything was fine.

"Listen, Sapphire…it's really hard to say this." Riku kept his head low. "You know how you've been through a point where you've had many boyfriends, but they never truly loved you?"

"Yeah. I felt awful about it."

"Well. I kinda had that same problem. I went out with many girls, but never felt a true bond between us. Then, one day I thought of something, what if I just found one girl who truly meant a lot to me. You know, kinda like the way Kairi means to Sora. I mean, you must've had that thought too, right?"

"Yes, but I knew it wouldn't happen." I answered getting up and walking over to the edge of the porch.

"That's not true. You'll find him someday. Who knows? He could be standing right next to you right now." Riku said as he came up behind me.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, maybe there's a guy you know who thinks you're the most amazing person that he's ever met." I felt Riku's hand tap my own. My eyes widened and my face flushed a deep shade of red.

"Thanks Riku, but I think it's just better to be alone." I said going back and sitting on the bench. "Because…no one could hurt you." Riku then came and took my hand in his as he sat down next to me and then grabbed my other hand.

"Sapphire, I promise…that I would never ever hurt you. Physically, emotionally, or sexually. I will never hurt you." Riku then began to lean in closer. "Because…I love you."

I just felt my heart stop beating in my chest, but I was still sitting up straight. Wow, this was the first time I ever heard 'I love you' from a guy before. All of the other guys I've went out with, they would just take me out like once and then we'd be in a relationship for a few months and then we'd break up. I actually liked hearing that. Riku then lifted my chin up and brushed his lips against mine. I slowly shut my eyes and leaned into the kiss more making it more enjoyable. I actually haven't gotten a decent kiss in a long time. Of course, I wouldn't say my first one was so magical. While Riku caressed my cheek with his hand, I just forgot all of those bad guys I was with once and focused on only Riku. I broke the kiss first and just grinned at Riku staring into his aqua-colored eyes.

"Thanks." I thanked him. "I should be going. But, we're still up for the beach, right?"

"Yeah." Riku agreed. I quickly pecked him on the cheek before almost opening the front door, then I turned around with a grin and blush on my face.

"By the way, I love you too." With that said, I walked into my house with the best feeling I had felt in a long time.

Author's Note: Yes, I know it was short! Don't sue me! This was just one of those kinds of chapters where you didn't feel like putting it in the previous chapter and there wasn't much to say in it! Anyway, look out for chapter 5!
