"Innova and Sierra" Romances...By Me! (Emeraude!)

"Irene," Innova called to the lady at the counter, "I'm going now!"

"All right, young boss," she smiled at him. "I guess I'll see you tomorrow morning then."

Young boss? Sierra pondered. What did that lady mean by that? As the two left the food court, Sierra couldn't help it any longer. "What did that lady mean when she said "young boss"?"

Innova laughed. He got these questions pretty often when people didn't know his father owned the food court. They got a shock out of it, too. "Actually, my dad owns the food court."

Sierra's eyes widened in surprise as she said, "Really? No wonder you're always there. I thought you just worked as a part-time waiter."

"Yep," Innova responded with a large grin. "Usually, that's what they think…but the shock is fun."

Innova's grin slowly withered as he started to squirm. "Uh…Sierra?"

"Yeah?"

"Are you…are you, by any chance, going to the dance?"

Is he? Is he going to ask me? Sierra thought willing it to be true. "I might. I don't have a date, though," she added, being careful not too sound too desperate.

Innova smiled. Is that the bait? "How bout I take you?"

"I don't know…" Sierra smirked mockingly, "I mean, don't you think I should get to know you first?"

"Sure," Innova smirked back, "Be my guest."

The two walked towards a nearby lake. It was frozen as it ought to be from the cold, but lakes and sunsets were usually a good pair. Watching a sunset sounded good…for "getting to know" someone.

"Wow," Sierra exclaimed, looking at the sunset, "this is beautiful!"

"Yeah," Innova responded, "beautiful." But he wasn't looking at the sunset…he was looking at her. "You're beautiful."

Sierra didn't know what to say. She's never really been called beautiful before. Maybe it's because she'd been a tomboy most of her life. An athlete. "Me?" she managed to squeak out.

Innova's cerulean colored eyes looked into her dangerous brown ones. Sierra saw his sincerity, more than that, she saw…something else. She couldn't explain it. Something in his purely blue eyes wanted to tell her something. But what?

"Sierra," he whispered as it brought chills down her spine, "do you mind if I kiss you?"

What took you so long? Sierra wanted to say. She'd never ever felt like this before. At first, there were chills down her spine, now she felt like her heart was going to explode. How can all this be happening to her? It was a warm feeling, she didn't know whether it was good or not that she felt it. But she didn't care...

Instead of answering Innova's question, she kissed him. It was a moment unlike any other when their lips melted into one.
