Chapter 25 - The Kiss

I kissed her. I held Zierra's face in my hands and when your lips met I could feel something in me begin to break though I wasn't sure what it was. Her hands entwined in my hair and I pulled her as close to me as I could get her without us becoming one person but it still wasn't close enough. I wanted more. I wanted her. Romance was never high on my list of things to occupy my time with. I had fleeting flings and steamy one night stands but romance always seemed out of my reach. However, standing on the balcony with Zierra made me think that maybe I could start making room in my life for something more with her.
