"You shouldn't kiss me like this
Unless you mean it like that
'Cause I'll just close my eyes
And I won't know where I'm at."
I kissed her tenderly, her arms around my neck. This was so sudden… so unbelievable could only feel. Emotions sun around in side of me, giving a high.
When I regained my mind and ability to think, I pulled away. "What does this mean, Fred?" I asked her.
"I'm not good with words," said Fred. "What do you think it means?"
"I hope it means that you want all the same things I do." I told her. "That you want to be with me. That you care about me as more than just a friend. That you can see yourself loving me."
"All of those things," said Fred. "I want to be with you. I care about you so much, Wesley. I can see myself loving you. I can see us being happy together."
I was thrilled. An electric sensation went through me as she spoke these words. The words I wanted to hear for so long were finally filling my ears.
"You still want those things, right?" she asked nervously.
The fact that she even had to ask told me that I hadn't been doing my job. I took her in my arms and kissed her again.
"When you kiss me like this
I think you mean it like that
If you do, then kiss me again."
I kissed her again, and again, and again. I wanted to tell her I loved her, but it was too soon. I didn't want to scare her away by smothering her. That was the last thing I wanted. What did I want? I just wanted her.
