Chapter 4:
Just then Kay stepped into her room, dropping her bags on the floor. She looks up to
see her best friend sitting on her bed with her journal in his lap! A smile creeps through her
lips for a brief second as she remembers how he used to do this before when they were kids.
The smile fades when she realizes that this time, it's different. She has confidential stuff
written in there about her secret love for Miguel! If he read that, she might as well die! Oh my
God, what if he knows the truth? she asks herself in a panicky fashion.
"Miguel?" she asks softly, a trace of hysteria evident in her voice, even though she
tried to be calm, cool and collected.
He stands up, his eyes never leaving hers. The journal that was in his lap falls to the
floor, still open to the page that he was reading - her most recent entry.
She looked down at the floor where her journal lay, with the words, "I love Miguel!"
written all throughout the margins of the pages.
She looks up at Miguel and notices him attentively gazing back at her. They stare at
each other in stunned silence.
Does she really love me? thought Miguel.
Does he know? Kay wondered.
"Kay," he says after what seems like an eternity, her name smoothly escaping his lips.
He takes a few steps closer to her.
She closes her eyes, worried. She had to do something. He couldn't think that she
loves him! If he knew then she would lose him forever. "Miguel," she says laughing
nervously, "you found my joke! I knew you'd be here, trying to read my diary while I was out
and I framed you in the act. Isn't that funny?! I wrote all those entries as a joke just to make
you think that I love you! That's hilarious, right? Now you know never to read -"
But Miguel was no fool. He knew Kay well enough. She wasn't lying to herself about
the feelings she had for him, so why should he? In one fluid motion, he advanced towards her,
grabbed her by the shoulders and gave her a tantalizing kiss on the lips. A kiss that her lips
had been thirsting for for the past five years.
That was the way a perfect kiss should be. All those emotions that were pent-up inside
the two of them were finally being released. They had been hiding their feelings from each
other for a while now. But no more. Now they knew. Miguel was happy to discover that Kay
felt the same way he did. Their heart's were now content. THIS was the way things should
have been.
At first, Kay was VERY surprised by the kiss. But that didn't stop her from kissing
him back. Her previous frustrations of not having Miguel left her mind and body as his lips
tickled and caressed hers. She couldn't believe this was happening! Miguel is actually kissing
me! She thought to herself. He feels the same way I do!
They finally parted away from their kiss.
Kay looked at Miguel, searching his eyes for an answer to how he felt. She was afraid
that he would think this kiss they had just shared was a mistake.
He gave her a smile and she relaxed.
He does want me! she told herself. I can see it in his eyes. It's glowing with happiness.
Just like mine. This is LOVE.
"I couldn't stop thinking about you lately," Miguel tells her.
"Really?" Kay asked hoping he'd say yes.
"Of course," he answered. "I think I'm falling for you."
They held onto each other for a few more moments, each one lost in their own
thoughts.
"Wait," Kay asked, breaking away from Miguel's hold on her. "What about Charity? I
mean you ARE gonna marry her soon." She backed away from his touch.
"Well," Miguel began slowly, "I can't deny that I love her."
Kay flinched. She was expecting to hear that, but it still hurt. She looked away.
"But," Miguel continued, grabbing her face and making her look at him, "I also can't
deny that I love you. And I know that Charity and I have never shared a kiss that magical or
beautiful. Besides, you should know that I haven't placed that ring on her finger yet for a
reason!"
Kay looked at him, hope shining through her eyes. "I love you, too, Miguel." She tried
to push thoughts of Miguel's love for Charity out of her mind. He wantes ME. It didn't matter
if Charity was still in his heart, she wasn't here sharing this moment with him. "So tell me why
you haven't placed that ring on her finger yet, Miguel," Kay said.
"Because like I told you earlier, I couldn't stop thinking about YOU. I was unsure
about who I loved more. And I didn't want to make the biggest mistake of my life."
"Hmm, good answer," she told him, bringing his face near hers.
"Thank you," he managed to mumble through Kay's raindrop kisses.
He leaned towards her again, drawing her into another kiss. But this kiss was different
from the last. It was more powerful, more familiar and definitely more of a kiss shared
between lovers.
Miguel kept on kissing Kay, not able to let go. This was his heart's content. He felt
like he was at peace. All those suppressed emotions were finally let loose. He was finally
being true to himself, and to Kay.
They stopped kissing after a while.
"Miguel," Kay said, breathing heavily, "remember that day when we were eleven
years old and Simone and Reese dared me to kiss you?"
"How could I forget?" Miguel asked, laughing.
"That was the first time we kissed," Kay continued. "And I was just a kid then but I
swear I looked at you differently from that day on. I've been hiding my feelings for you ever
since."
"Oh, Kay," Miguel replied regretfully, pulling her close. "I'm so sorry."
She held onto him. "It doesn't matter," she said. "As long as you're here with me now.
That's what's important."
He gazed deeply into her blue cerulean eyes, unable to look away. God she's so
beautiful, he told himself. How come I never noticed it before? Never noticed the woman my
best friend had become?
She had such an intrinsic beauty. He couldn't explain it to himself how he had fallen in
love with Charity instead of her. But now the tables were turning. He was finally opening his
eyes to the truth. The truth was that Kay and Miguel were deeply and truly in love with each
other.
