Summer in China
Part IV: Good Night Kiss

By: Michelle



Their walk home was a quiet one. Neither of them said a word or even looked at each other. When they arrived home, they went their separate ways. Leo went to the corner to meditate and Venus went to her room. Dinner was no different either. Just total silence between them.

*************************************************************************

That night, neither of them could sleep. Venus knew she hurt Leonardo. She did not know what to do. The day before, she wanted to be with someone, but now she did not know if she was ready. Leo was a good kisser, but why did she push him away.

He was hurt and confused. He wandered if he should talk to her and apologized for his behavior. He did not understand what he did wrong. Leo took a deep breath and looked at Venus door. She was awake. Maybe he should talk to her. He rose from his bed on the floor and walked to her door.

ôVenus!ö She looked towards the door. She did not know anyone was up. ôVenus!ö It was Leo, she took a deep breath and let him in.

ôWe need to talk.ö His heart raced. She was wearing a light blue nightgown that April bought for her. Since Venus arrived, Splinter preferred he and his brothers to wear boxers and Venus wear a nightgown to bed. Raph was the only one who usually did not listen to this request. He looked more closely at her. Damn she was beautiful. He felt himself bulging inside of his shell.

ôLeo, I...I am sorry about early. I did not mean to hurt you. I...ö

ôNo. I am sorry. I should not have kissed you. I did not mean to upset you.ö

ôLeo.ö She took his hand in hers. ôI was just nervous and scared. I did not mean to hurt you. It is just that I have never been kissed before and I did not know how to react and...I liked that you kissed me.ö

ôYou did.ö She nodded her head and moved closer to him. She leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek as a signal of him to kiss her again. He pulled her close and kissed her on the lips. She responded by parting her lips and letting his tongue slip inside. He hungrily caressed her tongue and was surprised when she caressed his in return. When she parted from him, she gave him a devilish grin. ôGood night Leo.ö She opened the door and he walked out.

Leo returned to his bed with a huge smile on his face. He laid down and drifted to sleep dreaming away about their future together.
