Chapter 8
------Story Continues------
It was barely 11 o'clock at night so I decided to watch some TV with Krism. She sat right next to me, leaning on me a bit as we watched Tom and Jerry. About half an hour later, I felt Krism's head slowly fall on my shoulder. She was falling asleep.
"Krism?" I asked.
"Yeah?" She answered back.
"Are you sleepy?"
"No..." She yawns. I laugh.
"Come on sleepy head. Let's go to sleep." I said as I stood up but was pulled back down.
"No I want to sit here with you and continue watching TV..." She sounded like a little girl, adorable.
I stood up again and walked to the TV to turn it off. Krism hugged me from behind and slowly pulled me back to the couch. I giggled and started to wrestle with her. She was about to lose her grip on me before I tripped over the remote control on the floor and we both fall on the couch, her on top of me.
I felt my face heat up. Krism fell on me and I was pinned down under her. We both started to blush. When she noticed me blushing, she giggled a little which brought a smile to my face. I love seeing her smile. Then I purposely gave up trying.
"Fine. You win. We can watch Tom and Jerry a little longer." I said, sighing heavily at my defeat.
She smiled and leaned in closer to my face. I held my breath, just in case I had a bad breath and watched as she leaned in closer. I felt my heart beat faster and my palms getting sweaty. I didn't know what to do about this. Then I had the idea...
Just as Krism leans in close enough for my head to lift up and meet her face, I kissed her. It was a slow and meaningful kiss. She kissed back and our fingers intertwined. I've never felt more happy in my life than that moment. When she pulls back, I asked the question that I've been meaning to ask since I met her.
"Krism..." I say, bringing her attention on me.
"Yeah?" She replies.
"I, uhh, have been meaning to ask you since I met you back in the Café. Krism, I've only known you for a day but I feel like I've known you forever. I, uhh..Will you...will you be my girlfriend?" I asked, my voice extremely shaky. I was beginning to get nervous. She didn't say anything. She stared at me for a while, with no emotion on her face. She finally answered.
"Yes. Yeah I feel the same way too..." Krism says smiling. I sighed. I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I could sense the high level of awkwardness...
"So...you want to continue watching Tom and Jerry then?" I asked her as we slowly sat back up. Being honest, I wanted to go to sleep but I stayed awake for her.
"Yeah... but we can sleep I guess.” The thought of sleeping made me even more tired but I didn't want to end the day so quickly.
"We can stay here for a little longer. It's kind of cold though. " I said, getting chills. I turned on the TV and put Tom and Jerry. I saw Krism cuddled up next to me, keeping me warm. I haven't felt this happy in long time. I slowly fell asleep, with Krism already asleep next to me...
