He touches my hand softly. I feel the blood rush to my cheeks, a blush I know to well when I am around him. I glance down at our hands embracing one another so kindly. He also glances down at our entwined hands; he raises his gaze and focuses on me. I look to him but back down to our hands again. I can’t stand to look him in the eyes.

I feel so flustered; I didn’t think he would return my feelings. Who would have known? The maroon blush on his cheeks showing he didn’t know either.

His free hand comes to my face where it gently rests on my cheek. His hand smelled like the roses surrounding us as we sit on the bench inside the garden, the sweet smell entering my nose and leaving my mouth as my breathing becomes quicker paced. I close my eyes savoring the moment we are sharing, slowly I reopen them. My dark hazel eyes staring back into his deep blue pools, his wonderful so-called eyes. I’m pulled in as his body comes in closer to mine.

What is he doing? Does he know of the risks if we are together? All the people who would disapprove…he would take that risk…for me? I tell him my feeling of love towards him and this is his reply? Please…don't be using me…don't be teasing. I have felt the pain of unrequited love to many times and I do not want to feel that with…him…

His hand on my cheek motions back through my dark brunette hair. His fingers brush through and I melt to the touch, my heart races.

Oh, please…I have waited so long for this moment and it has finally come and I can’t believe it...this is to unbelievable!

I open my mouth to speak but nothing comes. His eyes and his luxurious lips…come closer to mine. His beautiful face stares back at my red face, the blush consuming my cheeks now. Everything moves slower as his luscious lips come towards mine. My racing heart feels as if it were to explode any second now. I close my eyes as he closes in, closer…closer he comes until finally our lips touch. I taste the essences of the day he has had and I love the warm soft feelings of his amorous affectionate lips.

Oh, how I love this boy. The way he talks, how he walks, and his everything. He is so refreshing from the normal life that has taken over my daily adventures that bore me but when he came into my life…I felt alive for the first time in many years. These feelings…I had to have him closer…closer to me, closer to my life, closer to my body.

Our lips slowly part, leaving me wanting more and more. He smiles kindly to me and my heart melts feeling the warmth illuminating off of him. He leans into me, his mouth right next to my ear. His hard breathing telling me of how nervous his is at this moment, he speaks to me softly.

“I love you too…”

He speaks the words I so desperately need to hear. My face turns even more crimson as a shiver runs down my spine. He pulls away with his wonderful soft smirk on his ever so delicious lips.

“But how can you love me? Where both boys!”

I look down at our entwined hands with tears welling up in my eyes.

“For the same reason you love me…You’ve made my life worth living.”

He motions his hand from my back up to my face again. He places his index finger under my chin gently and lifts my face for our eyes to look into one another’s. I leap into his arms and embrace him with all my might.

I never want to let go…
