"What is it?" he asked.

She blushed deeply, "D-do you, l-l-l-like m-m-m-me?"

He looked a little confused, "What do you mean?"

"L-l-l-like...you know...do you, l-l-like me?" she stuttered.

He knelt next to her, "I care about you Kayla, and I guess you could say that I like you."

She brightened, "Really?"

"Yes."

She blushed, "Oh."

"What about you?"

"M-me? O-of course. Why else would I ask?"

He held her chin and forced her to look at him, "You don't have too."

She gazed into the bloodred eyes, "But i-i-I do."

He looked at her and chills ran down her spine. She was blushing fiercely and wanted nothing more than to look away. He held her steady though and looked at her curiously.

"W-what is it?" she asked nervously.

He didn't answer, but instead began to lean forward.

She jumped back, "Sh-shadow..."

He grabbed her chin again, "If you're not ready we can stop."

She blushed, "W-well...i-i-I just..."

"It's fine," he assured her.

"I just thought w-we should go somewhere more...private," she said.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

She nodded and they stood up. They went inside and up to her room.

"Wait, do you want to go in my room?"

"S-sure," she said.

They walked into his room, "Why did you want to come inside?"

"I just f-f-felt...awkward," she blushed.

He held her face in one hand, "Are you sure about this?"

She bit her lip and nodded. He grabbed her chin and began to lean forward. She felt his lips against hers and they kissed. After a few seconds he pulled back and she felt her heart soar. His hand still remained on her cheek and she looked up shyly.

"That was...nice," she admitted.

He smirked, "Wasn't so bad?"

She smiled and kissed him again, "It was great."

With that, she stood up, and practically skipped into her room. She flopped down on her bed and sighed happily. Best...day...EVER! She squealed and everything was perfect.
