Without me realizing, maybe because of the booze, my lips got much closer to Mark's. We got so close our shoulders and our legs touched, and I felt his hand touching my leg… It made my heart beat so fast I felt like I was about to die!
"A-Am I really precious to you?" I wondered, feeling all enamored.
"Of course you are… You've always been… my sun." He said while looking dizzy and adorable.
Ahhh, he was so cute and handsome I wanted to eat him whole!
I quickly approached my lips to his and felt his warmth lips touching mine.
It was… so nice. Kissing someone I like. I haven't done that for so long.
It was so passionate… it filled me with fuzzy feelings.
I ended holding his warm hand tightly, as if I didn't wanted to let him go.
I didn't wanted to let go of this moment, of his warmth, of his love.
Once our lips separated, he felt surprised.
"E-Elayne…? Y-You k-kissed me…"
I quickly snapped back to my senses, suddenly realizing how bold I was.
I cried like a little girl.. and covered my face with my hands.
"I-I'm sorry Mark! I'm sorryyyy!" I cried, feeling all embarrassed.
"A-Ah, no, don't be sorry…" He sighed. "It was so good… I-I…"
"OH. MY. GOSH. You actually kissed! YOOOOOOO!!!" Rita began making a fuss, hitting the table with her hands. "SEGS!"
"Ugh, Rita, cut it out!" I sighed, feeling slightly tired. "W-We're better going back home now… We are too drunk, to be honest."
"Right." Mark nodded, still blushing while touching his lips. His eyes were shining brightly, he seemed very happy.
As we made our way back home, I had to help Rita move because she was barely standing. Because we were drunk we couldn't just go on Mark's car. Well, our house wasn't so far away.
"Zzzzz… Gaaah… Borgar… Cheemsurger… Frenchfry…"
"She's asleep already?" I sighed, having to carrying her over my back.
"S-She's seriously something…" Mark laughed a bit.
"Yeah." I sighed. "A-About the kiss…"
"Y-Yes?" He wondered.
"Did it not felt… weird?" I wondered.
"O-Oh, not at all…" Mark sighed. "It was… it was really good. I think it was my first kiss."
"First kiss?!" I asked. "M-Mark you're…?"
"Yeah…" He said. "Is it bad?"
"O-Of course not! But you're so handsome I thought you might have had a lot of girlfriends…" I said, panicking a bit. "I-I can't believe I stole your first kiss, oh dear…"
"Hahaha, you're overexaggerating." He said without feeling worried at all. "I am happy my first kiss was with you… Elayne I…"
Suddenly, we stopped walking as he looked at me.
Rita, however, was too annoying.
"Ah, I'll tell you later." He sighed.
"S-Sure…" I said with a nod.
We kept talking about whatever for a little while, until we reached back home. Everybody was sleeping by now, I left Rita over her bed and then walked to the terrace with Mark.
"So what did you wanted to say?" I wondered.
I quickly noticed the full moon atop the starry skies looked almost romantic.
"I know it is… A bit obvious at this point." He said, slowly trying to boost his courage. "But…"
He held my hands, looking into my eyes.
"Elayne, I really… I really love you."
Mark sighed a bit, feeling relieved to have said it at long last.
"Hehe, I noticed it for a while now…"
"Hahh~ I knew it was obvious but… God, that much?"
"Yep! Though it took me a while to accept it because… Well, I was dummy."
Mark sighed, suddenly caressing my head.
"You're really smart, and passionate, and so hardworking…"
Mark's compliments were like love arrows piercing my heart.
Gosh stop it! I am going to die out of all your cuteness!
"Mark…" I sighed; I looked back into his eyes. "I do… I also love you, for a while now too."
There I said it! Agh! It was so embarrassing! I-I can't believe it.
"I'm so happy… T-This is like a dream come true…" He sighed.
"A-Are you really okay… with me though?" I asked. "I am not as young as you are… I am a widow too… I even have a daughter."
"That never really stopped me from falling for you." He said with a charming, sweet smile. "I think those things are what made you in who you are, in the woman I love."
"Mark…" I couldn't help but hug him tightly.
He was so warm, and his arms wrapped around my body, and they felt so nice.
It felt so good and comforting to be embraced… and loved again.
"Y-You're crying?" He wondered, seeing as tears were flowing from my eyes.
"A-Ah, s-sorry…" I sighed. "I just felt… so happy I cried a bit…" I cleaned my eyes.
"It's fine." He said, cleaning my tears. "You're so cute…"
He gently held my chin and then gave me another kiss.
This was much longer and lovely, and rather confident too.
His lips were so soft and warm…
Once we separated our lips, my heart was about to explode from beating so fast…
"Mark I… Do you want to…?" I wondered.
"Like… You know." I said while feeling embarrassed.
"Oh, right…" Mark quickly realized what I meant. "I-I, it is a bit embarrassing but… Do you want to… well, be boyfriends for now?"
"A-Ahh!" I felt slightly surprised. "Y-You meant that…"
"Huh? What did you meant then?" He wondered.
Aahh, I felt like a pervert! I was the only one that actually wanted sex…
He's much more innocent than I thought.
But I kind of like that too…
"N-Nothing! Never mind! Let's do this slowly then!" I nodded, giving him a little kiss on his nose. "I would gladly… become your girlfriend."
"Elayne…" Mark smiled, giving me many more kisses.
We kissed like a couple of teenagers for a while, until we finally went to bed.
It was so lovely; I may never forget this night…
Well, after my daughter that's it!
