Kiss Of Desire

“Are you done, babe?”

Babe? That is a good thing, right?

“I guess.”
“I would like to begin by saying you are the best. The way you approach situations is one of the many reasons I want to keep you at my side forever.” Jason stated.

“I understand your fear, and it only makes you better than me. I have wanted to tell you how much I cared about you for a while, but I was afraid. I was afraid you would leave me, not feel the same or even spite me.

You don’t just make me happy, Jeanie. You excite me. You’ve awakened parts of me that I had left cold in my heart. You are one of the Universe’s gifts to me this year, and I can’t help how I feel about you.”
He paused for a short while, searching for the right way to say it.

“I am just going to put this out here,” he continued. “I love you, Jeanie.”

My breath caught in my throat at his declaration. “You don’t know how long I have wanted to say that,” Jason said. “I fell in love with you so fast it gave me whiplash. I love you so much.”

“I love you too, Jason.”

“That’s good,” he answered. “I would need you to say that to my face in the morning, so I can respond properly with a kiss.”

“You aren’t getting a kiss that easy,” I joked, finally feeling relief.

“What if I say please?”

“Still wouldn’t do,”

“What if I tell you that I love you more than life? Would that do?”
