Chapter 22
Kisses
We were halfway to the lake when Star fell asleep in my arms. I gave a sigh and laid her down on the ground in the most comfortable way I could.
"Looks like she'll have to wait to go to the island after all!" Shadow said with a laugh.
"Lets let her sleep." Iggy advised.
I shot a glare at him and was shot with a sudden inspiration, "I think we should get her some water for when she wakes up, I bet she is pretty dehydrated by now… Shadow why don't you come with me?"
"Umm, sure." Shadow said without much hesitation.
I shot a glance at Iggy and the look on his face made me smirk.
"Actually, why don't you stay here Nova, watch Star for us?" Iggy interrupted as we started to walk off.
"Why? You worried that if danger comes you would be too weak to protect her?" I shot back, grabbing Shadow's hand and taking off into the sky before Iggy could think of another argument.
We landed near the water and I sat on the sand pulling her with me.
"Nova? What are you doing?" she asked suddenly.
I just smiled and pulled her into a hug. She was too stunned to move so for a few minutes she just sat there in my arms. "You seem really stressed, you should really relax every once and awhile." I said as she started to get a hold of herself again. I saw her getting ready to unleash her anger upon me, but I did not want this moment to end. So before she could start I pulled her closer to me, locking her arms at my side. I pushed my lips against hers, stopping all chances of attacks. I knew that I would get it when she was finally able to break free (or even more likely someone found us and forced me to let go) but I would not regret this.
I wrapped one arm around her waist, still locking her arms so she couldn't break free, and I ran my other hand through her hair. I pulled her hair free of the elastic band she always held it up with and let her Knee-length locks fall down. Still running my hands through her hair I started to kiss her more passionately, knowing that the others would come looking soon.
