Chapter 2
Jason and Gia just stood staring into each other's eyes. He decided to take a chance, he leaned over and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips. Gia was startled by the unexpected kiss, but she didn't pull away. She wrapped her arms around his neck. When Jason realized that she wasn't going to try to stop him, he put his arms around her. His hand moved up and down her back as his tongue slowly traced her lips. Gia's lips parted slightly and Jason slipped his tongue between them. The kiss lasted for several minutes before Gia finally pulled away.
"Um… the soup is hot," she said staring at the floor.
"The what?" he asked breathing hard. "Oh, yeah the soup," he said remembering where they were. "Do you want some help?"
"No, I can handle it."
Gia poured some of the tomato soup into the Styrofoam cups that Jason had bought. She handed him a cup and they sat on the floor slowly sipping the soup. They ate in silence. Every now and then they glanced at each other.
Half an hour later they finished their soup. Jason looked at his watch. "It's getting late. We should try to get some sleep."
Gia looked at the bed and swallowed hard. She turned back to Jason and nodded. "Which… um… which side of the bed do you want?" she asked nervously.
"It doesn't matter," he said staring at her.
Gia walked to the bed and turned down the blankets. Jason watched as she picked the pillows up off the floor and carried them to the bed. She walked back over to Jason. She took a deep breath before she spoke. "The bed is ready," she said at last.
Jason leaned towards her until their faces were only inches apart. "Goodnight," he said. He leaned towards her and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
Gia smiled shyly at him as her hand went to her cheek. "Goodnight," she whispered breathlessly. She turned and started to walk back to the bed.
Jason reached out and caught her by the arm. "Gia?"
Gia turned to face him. Jason placed his lips on hers and kissed her. The kiss was really tender at first, but quickly became more passionate. Gia wrapped her arms around his neck as she kissed him back. Jason slowly traced her lips with his tongue. Gia's lips parted and Jason accepted the invitation and slipped his tongue into her mouth. She moaned against his lips as the kiss deepened.
Jason lowered his hands until he found the bottom of Gia's sweater. Jason ran his hands up the back of the sweater, his fingers pressing into the soft skin of her back. He pulled the sweater up over her head, and threw it to the floor.
His right hand caressed her cheek and then moved down her neck. Soon his lips followed the path his hand had made. Jason moved his lips back up to her mouth. "I love you," he whispered against her lips.
"Gia, tell me you want me," he whispered.
"Yes. I want you. Jason, I want you to make love to me," she whispered.
He kissed her again. Jason picked Gia up and carried her to the bed, laid her down and made love to her. Afterwards they fell asleep in each other's arms.
