Chapter 3 love

Ben stood in front of Gwen's front door and knocked. Shortly afterwards the door swung open

"Hi Aunt Lily. Is Gwen home?"

"Hello Ben. Gwen is in her room but I think she wants to be left alone now…"

"She called me up and asked me to come over. Can I see her?"

"Gwen asked you to come over?" asked Lily slightly surprised by this

"Yeah. Can I come in?" he asked

"Sure" said the mother and let him in and closed the door behind him. Ben walked up the stairs and knocked on Gwen's bedroom door

"Yes?" said a sad Gwen as Ben opened the door

"Hi Gwen" he said and approached his cousin who sat on her bed hugging her knees

"What's wrong?" he asked sympathetically and sat down beside her and placed a hand on her shoulder. She slightly shuddered at his touch but he did not withdraw his hand

"I've been thinking a lot lately. About us…" she began

"Every time I see you or hang out with you I am overwhelmed with feelings of happiness and affection and my heart flutters with excitement. At first I thought it was just hormones but after our trip to the lake the other day I realized the truth…" she said with her face down and now faced him for the first time

"The truth is I love you Ben. I really do. I know this sounds gross but I can't hide these feelings anymore…" she said and lowered her gaze again as a single tear made its way down her pretty face. Ben reached his finger for her chin and gently lifted it up

"I love you too Gwen… with all my heart…" he said as she smiled with joy at the fact that her feelings are answered as Ben's face inched closer to hers. Slowly but surely their lips grew closer and closer to each other until…

The two cousin's lips met for the first time in their lives. They never knew that a kiss could be so enjoyable; especially when it's shared with one's true love… Ben wrapped his arms around his cousin's neck as she wrapped her arms around his waist as the kiss deepened. When they had to breathe their lips detached and they gazed into each other's green orbs, the same ones they shared. After a few seconds of gazing they embraced into a warm hug and held each other in each other's arms as the night continued…

The end…

Well that was a short one. I'm considering writing a sequel… (Something I hadn't done in a very long time…)

So keep your eyes peeled for you haven't seen the last of doc boy…
