Making History

Bonding

Viktor's hotel room was across from mine, he said if I needed anything then I could ask him, because he would always answer. I couldn't sleep that night, because I was too excited about the way my program turned out. We were to pick a theme for our programs, and I decided that mine would be about love.

I couldn't help but smile about how affectionate he was with me tonight. Something told me he wanted to kiss me. The more he held my hand, the more I didn't want him to let go. I wanted to spend more time with him, getting to know him as a person. I wondered what I had done to deserve such a sweet man in my life.

I walked to the balcony on our floor to get some fresh air so that I could relax and get to sleep. As I stared out into the night, I closed my eyes and breathed in the cool air. Six months later, so much has changed.

A few months ago, I was just an aspiring figure skater who wanted to make it into the Olympics someday, and now I was on my way and being taught by my idol. I couldn't wait to see what adventures would bring me and Viktor next.

"Couldn't sleep?" Viktor's adorable voice interrupted my thoughts. I turned around to see him smiling at me. "No, not really. I was too excited to sleep." I don't know what came over me in that moment, but I stepped forward to hug him.

He chuckled and put his arms around me, "Is everything alright, krasivaya?" "Yeah, I just needed a hug, and you give the best hugs out of anyone I know," I looked up at him with a smile. "You're the sweetest," he kissed the top of my head and continued hugging me. I was happy in his arms. "I'm always here for you, Tessa." there was a feeling of warmth and security between us. "Thank you, Viktor." I leaned my head on his chest while I was still hugging him.

He was lovingly stroking my hair, and he held me, "If this isn't too forward, I honestly feel like kissing you right now." his accent still made his words sound romantic. I looked up at him again, and my heart was starting to beat rapidly. "You can, if you want." the anxiety in my heart turned to warmth and fuzziness. It still made me happy to know that there were gentlemen like him still in the world.

Viktor brought my face up to his, and he was smiling at me again, "Moya krasota." that was when his lips met mine. It was my first kiss, because I never found the right person in the past, but I finally found Viktor.

As I kissed him back, it was one of the most incredible feelings in the world. Because it was my first kiss, I was a little nervous. It was starting to rain, but we didn't mine. We were in our own little world where the two of us were its only inhabitants.

I was on cloud nine because of how happy I was. My dream from when I was thirteen was coming true, and my idol felt the same way about me. "Viktor..." I was breathless. "Tessa... my Tessa." he whispered, stroking my face. "I'm sorry if this is too soon to say, but Viktor, I'm in love with you." I said, still in his arms. "I'm in love with you too, I love you." we shared another kiss.

I beamed happily, "Guess it'll be even easier to work together." I hadn't really flirted before, but I was enjoying it so much. "It definitely will," he smiled sweetly. I kissed him this time.

We went back to his hotel room and cuddled on the sofa. I laid against his chest and listened to the sound of his heartbeat. He was humming a song I didn't recognize. Viktor was running his fingers gently through my hair. I could fall asleep right there because I didn't want to leave his embrace.
"You're my angel," I told Viktor; I looked up at him with a sweet look. I nestled on his shoulder and kissed him on the cheek.
He chuckled and gently pulled me closer to him, "And you're mine, krasivaya." I was falling deeper into love with him. I closed my eyes blissfully and I smiled to myself. "Viktor, can I tell you something kinda embarrassing?" "You can tell me anything, Tessa." "You're my first kiss and my first relationship." I buried my face in his chest so he couldn't see my face turning red. I felt him laugh sweetly and he brought my face up to his so he could kiss me. "I consider it an honor," he caressed my face. I kissed him back and his lips smiled against mine. "I want to be your first and your last. We've only known each other for a year, but I honestly feel like you're the one." He pressed his forehead against mine and he closed his eyes. "I want to be with you forever. You're my beautiful princess." "Thank you, Viktor, you're my true love." I suddenly realized something. "Would us being a couple count as a conflict of interest?" "Thankfully, no. As long as we keep things professional then we'll be good." Viktor told me. "That's a relief," I sighed happily, snuggling closer. "I don't think I would handle not being able to kiss you," I flirted. "I wouldn't be able to not kiss you as well. You're just so beautiful and enchanting, no man can resist you." Viktor flirted back. "You're the only man I want." I initiated the kiss this time. "It was always you."  His lips soft and gentle against mine, and his fingers traced my jaw as we kissed.
