Green Eyes ch.4-The Get Together

Owen wasn't sure of his feelings for Emerick. He liked her. She was pretty. Very, very pretty, but there was more.... Something... More substance to her. He could tell while he was watching her sleep that this wasn't going to be last night he got to fall asleep beside her, and that made him happy. His dog walked in the room and jumped on the bed, shaking Emerick. "Get off you smelly dog," he whispered, hoping she didn't wake up. He figured she'd jump up and run home and be in trouble for a few weeks for staying out all night, so he wanted to take in every detail of her.1

Emerick started to wake up, but kept her eyes closed. She could feel him beside her and got kind of nervous. She slowly looked up to see Owen staring at her. She jumped up but stayed beside him. He said he was glad she was awake, and that he wanted to talk to her. So they went downstairs and got some coffee and he started off the conversation.2

"Emerick.... yesterday, when you asked me how I felt about you, it really made me think, and well, you see...um... well, the thing is, I think I love you."3

"Oh!" She gasped barley believing what he was saying. She'd never even had a boyfriend, much less someone who loved her. 4

"Now, I know it seems so soon, but I think there really something here, if we can just go with it, ya know?"5

"Yeah, yeah I think so too."6

"Really? So then we are together?"7

"Absolutely."8

Owen laughed out of relief and leaned in for the sweetest kiss he'd ever tasted. 9

Emerick was so happy she thought it might kill her, and as he kissed her, all she could think about was him, and how good it felt to be touched. 10
