Chapter Eleven: Kiss & Tell

It was almost one in the morning in Banora, Genesis and Rose were still awake, "Aren't you going to sleep any time soon?" he asked her as he looked at her pale figure, she shook her head, "I'm not sleepy yet." He laughed lowly and said, "Really?" she nodded and he stood up, pulling her behind him and said, "When I was a kid, I used to go to the roof when I couldn't sleep." He opened his window and stepped on the ledge, "You can follow, right?" she nodded, he stepped on the flower box and hopped to the roof. He offered her his hand and she took it, they were both on the roof now. He looked up at the sky with scarce stars, "There were more stars back then." Rose looked up and smiled.

He sat down there and she stared at the dark village. There very few open lights now.

"You want to risk falling?" he asked her.

She looked at him and he laughed quietly, he patted the spot beside him and said, "The roof isn't actually the best place to practice your balance and fight gravity, Rose." She laughed and said, "Oh alright Mr. Graceful." she sat beside him, her heart beating fast… why was her heart beating this fast now? She sighed and he looked at her.

"Did I ever tell you that you are the most beautiful girl that I have met?"

She looked at him and said, "Really or you just saying that, Genesis?"

He smiled genuinely at her and said, "I mean it."

She looked away, her face was crimson again! "Is there something wrong, Rose?" he asked her after five minutes, "N-nothing's wrong…" she answered, he touched her shoulder and said, "Then would you stop looking away from me? Do I look like the witch from Hansel and Gretel?!" "What's Hansel and Gretel?" she asked, "They're really old bed time story characters now will you look?"

She whipped around to see that he was inches away from her.

"What?" she asked him.

"…I love you. I think I've fallen for you." he said, "I don't care if you're a stripper in your past, Rose, all that I care about is now, all that I care about is you, all that I can think of is you!" he searched her eyes for a reaction, "and I just can't bottle it all up anymore." His hand dropped from her shoulder and into her hand, "Say you…"

"I love you too." she told him.

He looked at her and said, "What did you say?"

"I love you too." she repeated with a wide smile.

He stared wide eyed at her and said, "You do? No kidding?" he wasn't stupid not to know the differences of her tone but he was just so surprised… "I really do, Genesis." She touched his cheek and said, "I love you very much but… I'm afraid that if this feeling gets the best of me…" he shushed her and kissed her lips. Rose didn't know what to do, all that she knew was that her wish was coming true at that moment… she kissed back slowly. Sure, she did not know where the noses went and what the lips should do yet but all she knew was that she enjoys this.

They parted to take in some air.

Genesis looked at her and said, "I love you."

Rose looked at the sky and said, "Look."

He looked up and saw that the smog had cleared up a little bit and allowed the stars to twinkle a bit. "They're beautiful." He looked at her with a sexy look on his face, "But they're nothing compared to you." She blushed, he grabbed her and embraced her, "Let me… be your lover." he whispered, she buried her face in his chest and laughed.

He looked at the bundle in his arms and said, "What are you laughing at?"

"Do you think that I'll just say yes to that?" she asked him.

He looked at her questioningly she looked straight back to him.

Genesis 'humph'ed and said, "Women usually lose their consciousness when I tell them that I like what they're wearing and yet you refuse me." he smiled, "That's what I love about you." Rose couldn't make a witty reply to him, she only stared.

She looked down at the village again, it was completely dark now. She looked at him, she was getting sleepy… really, really sleepy. Genesis looked at her and said, "Hey, Rose, what if you remember everything- would you still love me?" she looked at him and said, "Even if my mind forgets, my heart won't forget that it beat for you." Genesis smiled and said, "I hope you never remember your past then."

"That's mean, Genesis."

She began to tip toe down the room.

"My friend, do you fly away now? To a world that abhors you and I? All that awaits you is a somber morrow. No matter where the winds may blow." he suddenly said, she looked at him.

He laughed and stood up, "I bet you're sleepy, huh?" he offered his hand again and she took it as if they did not confess and have a petty fight at all, like nothing special happened. They entered the room again, Genesis walked to the door and said, "Don't wait up."

Rose climbed onto bed and smiled dreamily.

Yes, I would not care if I never remember anything. I'd be fine with that, she thought with a sleepy smile.

Genesis stood there at the hallway, holding his lips to prevent an outbreak of grins that would lead to laughing again, he looked at his feet and held his breath. Yes, he has finally fallen in love.

He looked at the door and opened it, he walked in and joined her to sleep.
