"Who is it?" Kira's voice floated out to him. "It's Jesse," he replied tentatively.
"Come in," she said. Jesse pushed the door open and walked in. Kira was sitting, arms around her knees, on the bed. Her eyes followed him as he went over and sat at the other end of the bed. He wanted to just reach out and take her in his arms...and tell her he loved her. But something was stopping him, and it wasn't the fear of rejection.
"Kira, why have you been funny with me today? Well, ever since when you got back and snatched your stuff off me and stalked off. So come on, what was it that I 'didn't' do?"
Kira stared at her feet. When she looked up her eyes were brimming with tears. "You want to know what you didn't do Jesse? It just makes me so mad that I thought you were about to..." her voice was all choked. Jesse was confused.
"Thought I was about to what?"
Kira was silent, she had stopped crying. Then she whispered, "I thought you were about to...kiss me." Jesse couldn't believe it. The whole reason why she had been ignoring him all day was that she thought he had wanted to kiss her but then changed his mind. "I just wanted you to kiss me so much! I didn't want to kiss you in case you didn't feel the same..." her voice wavered.
Now Jesse was shocked. He had wanted to kiss her, but had restained, for the very same reason as her! It had caused all these problems, but he knew a way to fix everything.
"I want to kiss you now," he said, and with that he lent over and pulled her towards him. Then he kissed her. It was a long and passionate kiss, something the pair of them had been longingt to do for years. Jesse had never felt happier. At last, he was kissing Kira, and she was kissing him back.
When they finally broke apart there was only one thing left for them to say to eachother. "I love you Jesse," Kira breathed as she ran her fingers thorugh his thick, curly hair. "And I love you too Kira," Jesse replied as he wrapped his arms around her. Then suddenly he leant backwards so he was lying down on the bed and jerked Kira so she was lying on top of him. Kira gave a satisfied smile. "I like a guy who knows all the right moves," she giggled as she pinned him down to the bed with her body and they kissed again.
