It took me a moment, to realize the hand on my cheek was being gentle and not rough. The next thing I knew, my lips were encased in the moment or passion I had been hoping for, dreaming about for months. As the kiss was deepened, my hands found their way immediately into Kevin's beautiful hair; he had smaller curls compared to my own, but they were still just as soft, just a beautiful as ever.

We kissed on the blacktop parking lot for a while till Kevin and I parted. He loved me…he loved me; just as I loved him, love. My heart began to beat extraordinarily fast as Kevin called me beautiful…the red in my cheeks tinting the pale color of my skin.

"A-are we like…a couple now?" I asked, almost hesitantly.

"Yeah…I guess…" I smiled, as he looked fidgety. "I mean. If you want to…"

"I do." I smiled wider, another small tear cascading down my cheek.

"So, still want to go bowling?"

"Do I ever." Do I ever? …Okay MAYBE I should rethink my sentence vocabulary sometime. I let out a small laugh at myself, catching Kevin's eye as we walked into the bowling alley.

"What's funny?" Kevin grinned curiously as we got our shoes and our lane. I had pulled out my wallet, but Kevin insisted on paying, he looked so cute… so I just let him.

"Nothing, just never thought I'd ever…" I looked down at my bowling shoes I was tying up next to Kevin and bit my lip. "Be with you."

"I know how that feels." He sighed, but his face brightened as I took his hand. "But we don't have that to worry about now…do we?"

"No…" I smiled.

As always Kevin won, I caught him trying to let me win once, but we settled it by me tackling him to the ground and us sliding down the waxed lane.

"Hey, we should probably head out…" I said a few hours later, looking at a nearby clock.

"Yeah I guess."

"We can come back another time, come on Kev." I pulled him to the counter and we returned the old shoes for our own and left the Bowling alley, getting into Kevin's Jeep.

Silence.

"Um…are we…going home?" I asked slowly, Kevin was transfixed on the steering wheel of the Jeep Commander leaving me in a small state of perplexity.

"K-Kevin?" I feared he was rethinking this whole relationship and my heart thumped vociferously through my muscular torso.

"Did I do something wrong?" I was afraid to ask.

"No!" Kevin seemed to come back to reality as I moved my hand over the door handle. "No, Nicky, I'm sorry I was just thinking what I…" I watched his eyes catch mine and they began to glisten. "I don't know what you want for your birthday."

That was it? He was worrying this much over that? I lifted my hand from the eject handle and placed it over Kevin's hand.

"Dummy…I have you."

"That's no present…I ruined everything."

"Kevin…even so…you just made my day…my life." I leaned over and placed a kiss to Kevin's hand. "And I hope…you know…I've made your day…I mean…even the slightest?"

I smiled hopefully, awaiting that smile that was assured to spring off of those lips.

"I love you Kevin Jonas…even if you're my brother…even if you're a man…you are beautiful…and if you cut your hair off, I'll have Joe sew it back onto your head." I chuckled, jokingly of course, I would never purposely cause harm to him. Ever.
