Epilogue
It had been 2 months since she had said yes to being with him. Zeke felt good about the relationship but something kept nagging him. After dropping her off at her house at 7 PM from a triple date with Virgil, Stephanie, Jeanette, and Charlie, something nagged him even as he went to bed.
As he stared up at the ceiling, he couldn't help but wonder and worry. What had he done wrong to be denied it? They had been together for 2 months and in all that allotted time, they had not once kissed. Never. Not once. Sure they had held hands but that was it.
Zeke looked over at his clock which read 12 AM. That did it. He couldn't sleep, not without getting that nagging feeling out of his mind. He threw back the covers and threw on a t-shirt lying on the floor. Once fully dressed, Zeke snuck out quietly and revved up his motorcycle engine. He wasn't worried about his dad catching him at all. His dad snored like a revving engine and he was a heavy sleeper on top of that.
The wind blew sharp knives of cold air onto his face as he accelerated toward her house. As he approached the house, he looked up to see her coming out of the back door. Her eyes met his as she rushed toward him.
"Hey," he whispered breathlessly as he blushed at the sight of her pajamas. She was wearing sleep boxers with a t-shirt that hugged her slender form.
"Hey yourself," she joked lightly, "So what's up? You aren't the type to usually go out for night drives like this." Zeke flushed and thought about how he wanted to ask this.
"Something that's been bugging me lately," he began, "I've, I've been wondering why we've never kissed yet." There. He said it. Kyo stared back at him, surprised.
"You don't seem like the type who wants to be kissed," she commented. She shyly looked up at him as she continued. "Honestly Zeke, I'd never thought you'd ask." Before he could react to what she had just said, Kyo's lips gently pressed against his. Shivers went down his spine and he nervously wrapped his arms around her petite body. Whoa. As she pulled away she turned slightly pink. "Was it worth the wait?" she asked curiously.
Zeke stared back at her dazed. His hand went to his lips and he blushed a deep red. "Yeah," he mumbled shyly, "It was."
