A love worth the wait

1

He sits on the counter like always, just watching me with that look in his eyes... For the 5 years I've known him he's always done that... but I didn't think it was romantic seeing it started when I was 14. I had just turned 19... and gone through a nasty break up... I cried after class last week and that was the first time he hugged me. His warm body warmed my ice cold body. I wanted him... more than he, or I knew.

I looked up at him, and he smiled. It was adorable. He wasn't what most girls would find attractive... but he was all I wanted... and a bit more. I stared into his eyes... and for the first time I saw something new in them. I liked looking into his eyes, I felt like it showed me who he thought I was. I normally saw a little girl. A best friend. But now... I saw a woman. As I stared into his eyes I noticed he started breathing harder. I felt my heart pounding. I wanted to kiss him...

I slowly stood up, his eyes still glued to me. I stepped close to him. He was still sitting, legs crossed, until I was inches away from his body he un crossed them. I stopped. I looked him in his eyes, then his lips, then back at his eyes. I slowly moved closer to his face

"Kristine... i..."

Before he could finish what he was saying I reached my hand out to cover his mouth, I cupped his head in my hands, and I lightly kissed his lips slightly brushing against them. I quickly moved away. Tears filling my eyes.

"I'm so SO sorry! I- i shouldn't hav-"

He grabbed my waist and pulled me into his body. He was standing up now. He turned me around with a quick motion and his lips crashed into mine. His arms pulled me into him tighter. I rested my hands on his neck as he passionately kissed me. I had never felt this... this passion. I'd had many kisses before... with lots of other guys. But none like this. Not even close, I wanted more. I never wanted it to end.

He slowly pulled away and rested his forehead against mine. I moved my hand too rest on his chest.

"you have no clue how long ive waited..." he said

"i think i do..."

"well we can discuss it over dinner, im taking you out. ill drive us over to your apartment to change out of your Gee."

before i could protest he garbed my bag flung it over his shoulder and took my wrist and we stared walking out the door to his car.
