Chapter 9

Coming of Age

They couldn't even tell how much time had passed inside the game. It had seemed like forever. It had been long enough that Enzo had gotten a little bit taller, she noticed. How could she not notice, she pretty much just stared at him all day. He had been distant with her, not mean, but most surely distant. She wondered if she had angered him, or if he was just missing home. He had changed so much since they had left Mainframe. Currently, he was laying next to Frisket, they were both eating apples from the one tree.

She walked up towards them she smiled, hoping today Enzo would actually talk to her for more than a second. "Enzo, are you mad at me?" She asked looking at him, her eyes full of question.

"Mad at you? Why would I be mad at you?" He scoffed, he wasn't mad at her, he was mad at himself. He wished that he could control himself better. He was constantly thinking about what it would be like to see her naked and much, much more. He wondered if she had any thoughts like that. Were game sprite even interested in sex? She looked at him a lot with admiration, but he had a feeling it was more a brotherly love admiration. He was positive she wasn't interested.

"You seemed to be avoiding me Enzo." She said, her eyes now beginning to feel with tears. "I just do not know what I have done." Her body began to tremble.

Enzo leaped up, "No! You haven't done anything AndrAIa. I promise." He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into his chest. He couldn't believe that he had made her cry. He was such a tool. She tucked her face into his shoulder, and seemed to being trying to borrow into him. He looked down at her teal hair and raised a hand to stroke his finger through it. "I have just been going through some stuff. "

"Then why do you not talk to me about it! Like you use to!" She shouted her hand balled into little first and she gave him a pound on her chest.

He let her punch his chest, "Because I don't think you would understand it." He whispered.

"Try me." She whimpered. She decide to stop pounding on his chest and sat down on the ground and patted the spot next to her. She currently tried to stop her tears.

He sighed and sat down next to her, his body seemed to make the ground move when he hit the ground. He had to of put on at least 20 pounds of muscle while they had been living in this game. "Do you remember how I would say that Dot and," He choked on his name for a second, "Bob were going to get married one day?"

"Yes." She wrapped her hand around his, poor Enzo, he was missing Bob and his sister. That was why he had been behaving like this.

"Well, I always figured that was because they loved each other. Even though they never said it." He felt himself blushing when she grabbed his hand.

"Then are we going to get married? We love each other right?" She asked. She knew that she loved Enzo more than anything else in the whole world. It would only make sense if people that loved each other got married that they would get married.

"Well," His voice went a little bit higher than his now low register, "Maybe. You see AndrAIa there are different kinds of love." He began to stumble on his words. Was he really about to give AndrAIa a sex talk. She looked at him, appearing to be intently listening. "People that get married feel romantic love towards each other. People that feeling other types of love just stay very good friends."

"What is romantic love?" She asked curiously.

"Romantic love involves wanting to have a life together and wanting to have children with each other." He stammered nervously.

"Oh, I want those things with you." She said matter of factly.

Enzo gulped, "You do?"

"Of course I do."

"I guess I should explain that those people do other stuff. Like kiss and other things." He said his green face was probably now red.

With that AndrAIa's hands went to the side of his face and she gave him a peck on the lips. Ones like Dot gave them when they would get out of a game. "Well, I've kissed you before and I just did again."

"It's a different kind of kissing Andi." He laughed nervously.

"Show me." She said happily.

Enzo's eyes went wide. Should he do this? What if she hated it or even worse what if she hated him for it. "I'm waiting Sparky." She said teasingly to him.

"Okay." He had never really kissed before, so he was nervous. 'Ah Crap! What do I do?' He thought to himself. He leaned towards AndrAIa and one of his palms went to the back of her neck to pull her to him. When their lips met, he moved his over hers and let out a groan. He was going to go crazy, he was sure. Then she started mimicking his motion and he lost it. All the while still kissing her, he pushed her body to the ground gently. He found himself lying on top of her kissing her with everything in him. He slid his tongue in between her teeth and this time she let out a moan. AndrAIa was willingly kissing him, no eagerly kissing him, and he couldn't believe he was so stupid to avoid her before.

Her hands went up into his hair, her fingers running through it, then she pushed his head down. She wanted more kissing. She couldn't believe how good this felt, and she couldn't explain to how her body was reacting. She want to exploded, nothing had ever felt so good. "Enzo!" She moaned into his mouth. She received an excited to groan and more intense kissing. His tongue seemed to be searching for something in her mouth, so she decided to find it with her tongue.

All the sudden the ground beneath them began to glow, at first they didn't notice until the siren's went off. "Warning! Game about to start!" It was weird to hear it from the inside of the game.

"AndrAIa we could end up in Mainframe!" Enzo smiled as he looked down at her and kissed her once more. She stared up at him with lovely teal eyes and her cheeks flushed with passion. "We could be going home."

"Can we kiss more at home?" She asked panting.

"There will surely be more kissing." He smiled, "That was pixelatious!"

"I'll say!" She said. She found her self feeling empty when he removed his big body from hers. "Let's go beat this user!"
