Maybe This Time

Chapter Nine

After the festival, Alex brought Norma back home and thanked her for coming then saying goodbye. While he was walking down the stairs, Norma dropped her blow up hammer down onto the porch and began running after him. "Alex! Wait!"

Alex immediately turned around to see her running toward him but not slowing down or stopping. He was about to slow her down but before he could, she flew into his arms and hugged him tightly. She wrapped his arms around his neck, holding on for dear life not wanting to let go. He rested his cheek on her head, wrapping his arms around her. He wasn't sure what this was all about but he wasn't complaining.

Norma was silent for a few minutes before speaking, "Thank you..for everything. Tonight was incredible. Most fun I've had in such a long time.."

Alex smiled and just listened to her soft voice while smelling the sweet scent of her blonde hair. "You don't have to thank me, its been my pleasure. I had a great time too." Norma felt this amazing feeling growing in her belly. It was like the "butterflies" but much more intense.

She pulled out of the hug with a smile, sliding her body away from his and began to walk back up to the house. "Thank you again, Alex.."

When her back was turned and she walked away, Alex felt the urge of grabbing her and just confessing his love for her. He was going to just let her walk inside but he just couldn't do that. He ran after her immediately, grabbing her left arm and pulled her into him roughly and clashed his lips with hers.

Norma was startled at first and thought about pulling away but it just felt right. She wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him harder and passionately. With his arms around her waist, the kiss became so passionate that bent her backward slightly toward the ground. She kept her arms wrapped as tight as she could around his neck.

Then next thing you knew, it started to rain heavily. They didn't even realize the sky was cloudy. But this didn't even matter to them. They both pulled away from the kiss, looking up at the rain pouring down on them. They both laughed and Norma placed her hands on his cheeks, putting her lips against his again. Norma jumped up and wrapped her legs around his waist continuing the ever so magicial yet very passionate first kiss.

Their clothes absolutely soaked, Norma's hair damp and they didn't care. During this moment, they shut the entire world out. Norma hadn't felt this happy in a very long time, while Alex was enjoying this special moment. He couldn't believe she actually went for it. Things were so different now and both of them were okay with that. It would take both of them time to get used to being in real love with someone, each other.
