Broken Wings

Chapter thirteen

I sat looking out the window for a little while longer. Levi had started doing paper work, i figured it was time I left. I got up when his voice stopped me.

"Come over here," he said quietly, placing his hands over his eyes and leaning back in his chair.

"Is everything alright sir?" I asked quietly.

"Come over here," he motioned to the side of the desk he was on.

"But.. sir i have to-," i tried saying i had to go before he cut me off.

"Stop being stubborn.." he muttered, looking at me whilst resting his chin on his hand.

"Yes sir.." i walked around the desk to stand in front of where he was sitting.

"We have done a lot together.. been through a lot together.. but there is one thing I haven't done yet.." he mutters, standing up.

"What might that be sit?" I ask, looking up at him now.

"I haven't kissed you yet," he says quietly and simply. "I guess we have to change that."

I look away from him, embarrassed that he would think anything like that about me. Im just to stupid and ugly..

"Look at me.." he says, trying to see my face. "You've never kissed a boy before, have you?"

I shake my head, no one had ever seen me pretty enough.

"Perhaps I should correct myself, you've never kissed a man before, have you?" He said it in a way that made my heart pound faster. I felt my cheeks go red. Why would he think of me, of all people, like that?

"Thats fine, it doesn't last long. Its over in the blink if an eye.." he whispers, stepping closer to me. He brushed his hand through my hair, gently turning my head to face him. "All I have to do is lean forward.. and all you have to do is stay put.." he whispers, tilting my face up towards his.

I felt his warm breath on my face, i felt his heart beating, and suddenly, his lips were on mine. It lasted less than a second, it was warm. Soft. Comfortable. He let me go but i wished he would continue to hold on, for just a little longer.

"There you go, I was your first." He said, sitting back down. He continued his work, all i could do was turn and leave. I didn't want to, i wanted to stay in his arms i was happy there i felt happiness there. "Are you going to keep watching me, or do you want something else?"

"Ah.. no sir I'm sorry.."  I muttered, trying to think of how I could stay longer. I thought if nothing, so i left. I walked down the corridor to my room and when i got there I closes the door and sighed. With joy and with sadness. I curled up on my bed, and fell asleep. There was nothing more i could do at that point.
