JAYDEN:
Her eyes flutter shut cutting off my view into her deep irises. I feel myself closing the distance between us as if pulled by some imaginary force. As much as I want to see how her lips would feel against mine it's too soon to do such a thing. I place my hands against her shoulders only to feel a current hit me. It was only small but an electric shock the same.

She gasps as I drop my hold on her.
"You felt that too right?" She wonders aloud almost disbelieving.
"You gave me a shock!" I accuse playful; I wonder how that happened I mean I've only experienced this before on a trampoline.

"N-No I didn't, y-you shocked me!" She returns, her little stutter makes it almost seem as though she is lying, maybe she's flustered?

I use the opportunity to pull her into me. Wrapping my arms around her effectively silencing her before she can say any thing else.

"We got interrupted. I was going to hug you and you shocked me you evil woman!" I explain. She responds with a simple "oh." Yet I sense an underlying disappointment.

"Did you want me to kiss you?" I blurt out. 'Because I do' my mind finishes
She tenses before pushing me away while taking care not to brush my freshly bandaged wound, courtesy of my Secret.

"N-no!" She scoffs adamant that I take it back yet I refuse to. The blood pools in her cheeks as she drops her gaze to her lap. All the tell tale signs of embarrassment and her possibly lying. Perhaps I'm just being hopeful that she may have wanted, really wanted me to kiss her?

She huffs as she pulls herself off the ground and stomps towards the window. For some reason I doubt she's actually going to go in without me there.

"Is my secret embarrassed?" I call laughing as she mumbles to herself. "You know my name and it's not secret!" She adds as I catch up to her.

"Your name isn't but you are and always will be my secret because that's how I first met you... When I think about it it's more to it than just that."

"What is it?" She responds. Her curiosity overriding her previous anger at me?

I find myself lean in closer to tell her. Her scent now completely surrounding me and mixing with mine. A light feminine perfume combined with the fresh appley scent of her hair and an undertone only describable as being her scent makes me want to just stay there as I ramble on about secrets.

"We all have secrets... Our personal demons but why do most secrets have to be so negative why can't they be beautiful or make you happy or just be something positive? That's why you're my secret because of all the bad and scary ones I have... it makes me feel better to know that I have one positive secret amongst them that can almost outweigh all the awful ones."

Maybe I said to much. Maybe I didn't but I feel relief as my own words register in my mind. I didn't give too much away so she won't be hurt or in danger... For now at least. Although me having just told her what wanders in my mind  and almost having made her a part of what's hidden from most I feel calm. Almost content with myself.

She pulls away allowing me to look directly into her eyes as the corners of her mouth pull up into a small smile. It's like she's reflecting the same peace back at me.
"Is that a compliment?" She mumbles.
