City by the Sea 2

Alexis

I sigh and look up at him. "I want you." I tell him. I sit up a little and face him. "I want not to be turned down when I say what I am about to say."

"What?" He asks.

"I think I am in love with you." I say. I close my eyes and wait for rejection like the last time."

Elijah

I study her before setting a hand on the side of her face. Was I in love with her? Is that what this is? "I-I think I'm in love with you too, Alexis."

Alexis

I let out a sigh of relief and place my hand on top of his.

Elijah

I flash a smile and study her.

Alexis

I watch as he studies me. "What?" I ask.

Elijah

I shake my head and flash a smile, "Nothing.'

Alexis

I smile and lean up against him again. I still look up at him though, not really wanting to look away.

Elijah

I smile back and glance up at the ocean, sighing.

Alexis

When he turns away, I turn it back to mine and pull him in for a kiss.

Elijah

She turns me back to her and pulls me into a kiss. Smiling, I let her and close my eyes.

Alexis

I press my lips strongly against his and place my hand on the back of his neck.

Elijah

I kiss her back and keep my arms tight around her.

Alexis

I smile as he kisses and and let he judge when it should end.

Elijah

I pull back after a while, not wanting to take things too far, and keep her close.

"I am so glad I have some one who does not keep anything from me. I do not think I could have a relationship with lies. I am so glad you are honest with me," she sighs, leaning against me.

Oh...

"Um... about that..."

Alexis

I sit up and look at him. "What?" I say.
