"Phew." I signed with relief. "I can't believe how hard it was to get you to my house."

A terrible thought struck me. Ho-How would I get her past, Liz and Patti? They were impossible, those 2.

"Thanks Kidd, but I was wondering why we're going in the back door?" Maka asked curiously.

"Ohh... You see, I guess... Well..." I trailed off.

Maka smiled, "It's fine Kidd, you don't have to tell me right away." and patted me on the back.

"No, it's nothing really. I... I'm curious on how i'll get you in the house without Liz and Patti finding out." I said sheepishly.

"Don't worry Kidd, you don't have to worry about it. You don't have to hide it." Maka softly touched my arm, and smiled.

"Ok, I can do this, I can do this." I muttered. "Follow me inside, Miss Maka."

I marched right through the front door. Unluckly for me, Liz was doing her nails on the living room sofa, right where we were. Her mouth dropped wide open. Her eyes widdened. Then I saw her crazy "I'm trying to process this, but I really don't get it" look.

"Kidd-kun? Liz processed. "What's going on?

I aigned. "I guess what you said to me is true. I do like Maka." I gestured to Maka, and my eyes buldged. Maka had knocked over a vase.

"No, no, you bastard! You have to do it on thr other side too!"

"Oh Kidd... always vunerable when it comes to symmetry." Liz rolled her eyes. "Don't worry this is normal Maka."

Of course Patti chose this moment to walk in. "Ooooooooo Kidd! Who's thatt? Is she from our school? Or is she your lost lost sister I read about on FanFiction?"

"No Patti, she's the girl from this morning." I groaned, what would she say?

"Ooooo you made her come over?" Patti grinned then started humming loudly.

"Patti, I just want to be alone with Maka for now, ok?"

"Okkkkkkk Kidd! Come on sis!" Patti dragged her sister out of the room.

"So," I paused for a dramatic effect "Where were we?"

I walked over to her, took her face in my hands and kissed her, on the cheek.

There was an awkward silence, when Maka was deciding to kiss me back or not. Then she did. I got slapped by her. Maka slapped me.

I watched her run away in tears, she's afraid, I realized.
