"You know you really don't have to drive
Me home," said Kate, Tony shook his head,
"After what happened in there your
In no condition to drive" he replied.
Kate shrugged and threw her keys at Tony,
Who caught them with one hand, grinning,
Might I add.
The drive to Kate's place was silent,
Both were consumed in thoughts of what had
Happened not too long ago.
Tony pulled up at Kate's apartment,
He didn't tell her he already knew
Where she lived by Kate's directions.
Kate got out of the car, checking her face in
The car mirror.
Tony walked Kate up to her apartment door,
Kate was opening her door as Tony plucked up the
Courage to do what he was about to do.
"Kate?" spoke Tony, so softly that Kate almost
Didn't hear him, she turned around, Tony took a
Step closer, filling in the gulf between them.
Kate saw in Tony's eyes, not the usual,
Obnoxious, cocky, stud he usually was,
But a, man, with caring eyes.
Tony leaned in, connecting his lips with hers.
She tasted wonderful, a mix of watermelon and
Kiwi fruit. His hands found Kate's waist, and
He pulled her closer towards him.
The moment froze, to be burned in Tony's memory
Forever, but, quick as a flash, it was over,
Tony looked into my eyes, I could see the
Uncertainty, lurking, behind his pupils.
Kate took a breath, the kiss seemed to knock
All air out of her lungs.
"Goodnight, Tony" she whispered. And with that
She pushed her door open, leaving Tony standing
On her front porch.
