Chapter two
Knowing you is just the start of something beautiful
Two months later Melissa and Lucas are getting closer. They go to the movies, Starbucks. Everywhere.
But just as friends.
They both see each other as more but afraid of the consequences.
Today, Lucas is taking that jump.
They are at Lucas' house just hanging out like normal.
Melissa stares at him from the corner of her eye. He notices. He looks back. They stare at each other for a moment. Lucas looks away.
There goes that moment of opportunity. Lucas thought to himself.
What's wrong with Lucas today? Melissa thought.
She took her moment to speak up.
"Lucas? What's wrong?"
"What do you mean, there's nothing wrong."
She turns to him. "Yes there is. You haven't said a word to me since I came to your house."
"Oh." He said. Unsure of what to say next.
"Lucas. You know you can tell me, anything."
"I know." He looks at her. "Okay. Here is the truth."
"Yes?"
"The truth is Melissa, that I really like you. As more than a friend. You are so pretty. I know we have only know each other for a short while. But I can't hold this in much longer. I understand if you don't feel the same way."
She smiles at him.
"Lucas. The truth is that I really like you too."
"Really?" He asks.
"Yes." She says with a smile.
He leans in closer to her. "Good."
Their lips touch, A soft, sweet kiss at first then Melissa kisses him back. It turns into a long kiss.
They pull back with smiles on their faces.
"You know what?" He asks her while looking into her eyes.
"What?"
"Knowing you is the start of something beautiful."
She smiles at him. "That's so sweet."
"I try." He smiles at her.
She giggles and hits him playfully.
"Hey!" He said with a puppy face.
"I'm sorry. Is there something I could do to make you feel better?" She says all flirty.
"Yeah." He points to his lips.
She giggles. "Okay." She kisses him slowly.
A minute later.
"Better?" She says with a smile.
"Yes." He smiles and wraps his arms around her. They continue to watch tv with smiles on their faces.
