"Our eyes met and our souls caught on fire."

It has been two weeks since the sleepover. Since then something changed. She was avoiding me. I didn't know why. But I did know I wanted to be alone with her. She and I needed to talk about what happened.

We still texted, but not as much as before. Had I gone to far? Had I done something wrong? I didn't think so. She had kissed me with her own free will. I didn't pressure her into anything.

I knew she wasn't ready for a relationship. She was still grieving. But I couldn't deny the attraction between us. And I knew she couldn't either. I don't know what it was, but there was something special between us.

Our kisses had been so intense. I've never had had the same feeling with someone else. When we kissed it was like fireworks were going off. And then she confused me again.

"It was after our Bella rehearsal. Only four of us were still there. She grabbed my arm and dragged me out the room. I followed her as she walked into an empty classroom. She slammed the door shut behind us. She pushed me against the door and kissed me. Confused as I was, I responded to her."

I don't know what happened to me. After the sleepover I avoided being alone with Ashley. But it made me crazy. I wanted to be with her and at the same time I was afraid of losing her. She had awakened a fire in my soul. So after rehearsals I dragged her into an empty classroom and kissed her. After that kiss I asked her to bring me home. She did and when we were at my house I asked her to come in.

We went straight to my room. I didn't know where I found the strength but I pushed her onto my bed. I lay on top of her and kissed her again. I looked at her and I knew she immediately understood me.

I wanted her to make me hers and I wanted to make her mine. Without saying a word we undressed each other. And then we made love. It was my first time, but she was so gentle and caring when she entered me. I had never been with a woman before but my instincts took over. I knew exactly what I had to do to pleasure her.

Our love making had been so passionate and beautiful. I imagined that being in heaven must feel like this. When we were both satisfied and tired we lay under the covers. Laying naked in her arms felt so natural.

"I love you baby" I whispered to her.

"I love you too beautiful" was the last thing I heard before falling asleep in her arms.

I don't know how long we slept, but a soft knock on the door woke me up. I opened my eyes and saw Jessica's mom smiling at us before she left. Lazily I turned on my side to look at the beautiful girl next to me.

And then realisation hit me. Holy shit! She and I had sex! I still couldn't believe it. This beautiful broken girl had chose me. I never expected that my first time would be with a girl. Or that I wasn't the one that took the initiative to do it. But I didn't regret it.

I couldn't stop smiling while looking at the sleeping beauty next to me. Carefully not to wake her up I untangled myself from her. I grabbed my phone to look at the time. It was past dinner time. I had six missed calls from my mother. I didn't want to wake up Jess, so I texted my mom. I explained where I was and that I fell asleep.

Lucky for me, my mom wasn't angry. And she told me it was okay if I spent the night there. I put down my phone and rolled on my side so I could look at Jess. Even when she was asleep she was adorable. I could lay like this forever.

She started to stir and opened her eyes. Silent tears rolled on her cheeks when she looked at me.

"Hey beautiful" I said while wiping away her tears.

"Hey" answered softly.

I wrapped my arms around her and we just lay there in comfortable silence. Words weren't needed.

When I opened my eyes I saw Ash looking at me. And then I remembered what we had done before we fell asleep. I couldn't help it but to cry. So much emotions ran through me. I didn't plan on letting anyone getting close to me. But how hard I tried to fight it, I couldn't resist Ash. From the beginning she had smashed down my walls like they didn't exist. She gently wiped down my tears. She didn't ask me why I cried.

We just lay there in a silent embrace. Neither of us had words to express out feelings. But it wasn't needed. I was overwhelmed but I was glad she still was there. She didn't run or leave me when she woke up. Right in that moment I knew we were destined to be together.

My stomach began to growl and then I realised we must have slept so long that we missed dinner.

"Somebody needs food" I heard her say.

I didn't want to break our contact but I really needed to eat. We got up and got dressed. I kissed her again before we got downstairs.
