Growing Up Isn't So Bad After All

Sexual Tension

My Pov

Numbuh 0.2-I mean, David?"

"Yeah Erika?" David said. I fumbled with my words.

"I... um... want to tell you something that's been on my mind for a while."

"Yeah, well... there's something that I want to tell you. But you go first."

"Well... I... I... really like you a lot. I think I may have a crush on you." David's expression turn into one of surprise.

"Really? Since when?"

"Truthfully? I know this is gonna sound really corny so feel free to laugh, but the first time I met you. When you saved me from jumping in front of that car." For a while David didn't say anything. I started shaking, fearing I would be rejected. Then David gripped my shoulders, causing me to look at him. First he kisses me on her cheek. I blush a deep red.

"Erika, I will care for you as a brother until you're thirteen. Then..." He kissed me on the lips. My eyes widen. "We can be together. I really like you a lot too." David said. I jumped up to David and wrapped my arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around me.

"I really do like you David. I... love you."

"I love you too."

I opened my eyes and realized I wasn't in the garden of the mansion, but in my bedroom in my apartment. I sighed at the memory. It seemed like ages ago when it was actually almost 8 years ago. From then up to now, David and me had been a couple. Of course, we couldn't be a couple until I had turned thirteen. It was sort of a rule in the KND. Even though me and my team, the legendary Sector Z, we're all above the age of thirteen we had been chosen to be part of the TND. Agents of the TND were KND members who were specially chosen to keep their memories and fight adult tyranny undercover. I shivered and clutched my blankets closer. That's when I felt something around my waist and left hand tighten. I flinched at first but then remembered it was an arm around my waist and a hand on mine. Both belonged to my boyfriend; David. He was so adorable. I kissed his cheek, causing him to stir and open his eyes.

David: "Morning Erika."

Me: "Morning David." I gave him a small peck on the lips. He smiled and crashed our lips together. Our tongues wrestled for a while before David won. He rolled us over a little so that he was on top of me. He wrapped his arms around my back and I wrapped mine around his neck. I don't know how long we made out, but it felt like forever. We finally had to breathe so we parted, leaving a thin trail of saliva connecting us. I moved one hand and first gently brushed the hair that covered David's right eye, then cupped his cheek.

David: "You seem awfully happy this morning."

Me: "I had that dream about you again."

David: "Which one?"

Me: "The one where we told each other how we felt when we were kids."

David: "Seems like ages ago, huh?" I nodded. David pulled me up and held me close. "We've come a long way, haven't we?" I nuzzled myself into his chest.

Me: "Yeah. Sometimes I flash back to that day, the day I lost you guys... it was the most horrible and terrifying day of my life." I felt tears starting to come to my eyes. David took my face in his hands and made me look at him.

David: "Erika, I'm never going to leave you alone again. I'm always going to be right here."

Me: "How can you be sure?"

David: "Because no matter what, I won't leave you. I promise." I smiled. David always did keep his promises, one way or another. I looked at the time.
