Chapter 2

All day, Peter couldn't stop thinking about Carol. He had to find out if there was a possibility of there being something more than mere friendship between them.

When night came, he found Carol reading a book in the base's lounge. Nobody else was in the room. This seemed like a perfect opportunity to talk to her.

"Hi", said Peter nervously.

"Hey, Peter", said Carol. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah! I'm fine. I was wondering if we could talk."

"Of coarse." Peter sat next to her. "What's up?"

"About our talk earlier. You said something about how my heart will let me know the right one for me when I meet her. Well, there is someone that I feel a spark with every time I'm around her. I can't stop thinking about her afterwards. I just hope those sparks are my imagination."

"Well, uh. Why don't you ask her", asked Carol.

"Carol, it's you."

Carol didn't say a word. She looked away with a blank expression.

"I'm sorry", said Peter. "This was a big mistake. I just made things super, super awk..." Peter was interrupted when Carol suddenly kissed him. Surprised at first, Peter soon gave in.

After pulling away, they just looked at each other.

"Good night, Peter", said Carol as she got up and left the room.

Peter laid on the bed in his assigned room and stared at the ceiling. He couldn't go to sleep. He thought the kiss he shared with Carol was amazing. The fact that she kissed him had to indicate that Carol feel something as well.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

'Who could that be' thought Peter. He opened the door to find Carol on the other side.

"Can I come in?"

"Sure." Carol stepped into the room.

"I'm sorry for walking away from you", said Carol. "I know that I don't look very old, but my Kree biology has slowed down the aging process. Peter, you should be with someone your own age. You're just feeling physical attraction."

"Carol, the feelings I have for you aren't just physical. I really do like you. There is something between us. After that kiss, are you going to tell me that there isn't. Please tell me I'm not imagining things."

She moved slowly towards him. Their lips soon met again. The sparks were even more present.

"You aren't imagining things, Peter", whispered Carol.

Peter couldn't believe what he was hearing. Carol felt the same way about him. He just stood still as Carol took off her jacket and unzipped her boots. She came towards him to give a another fiery kiss. Peter and Carol fell on the bed as they continued to make-out. As things kept getting heated, they both knew they had a lot to talk about the next day.
