At least not in front of people...
"Yeah," she finally said, looking up. "My dad started it when I was little, and now he and my mom both call me Si. Well, you, too..." She laughed that whole 'girl crushing on guy and getting nervous' laugh.
When he said he wanted to 'talk about us' it just sort of confirmed what Sierra had thought all alone. She shifted her weight from one foot to the other and looked down. "I know," she said, nodding but still looking down.
She looked up when she felt him grab a hold of her hand. It made her feel like he was feeling sorry for her, and she almost jerked her hand away. Almost. "Kennedy, you don't have to do this if you don't--..."
"What?" she asked, her eyes growing wide. "You're asking if I want to make things official?" That...was completely unexpected, and...she'd built herself up to believe he was calling things off. Seconds passed by when she just looked at him in disbelief. Then finally, she crashed into his arms and hugged him tightly. "Yes, Kennedy," she said. "I'll be your girlfriend."
Kennedy chuckled then smiled at her, though, he noticed that bit of nervousness in her laugh. He wondered what was getting her nervous. He was the one declaring everything right now...so?... Then she said she knew. Sierra knew what he was up to? Was he that easy to read? Kennedy Escalante always thought of himself as the type that was hard to read as a rock.
Wait...
Did she think he...Oh, no, heh. Kennedy nodded. He wanted them to be official and that was what he had been trying to ask her during the summer, but thing after thing happened.
He waited for an answer, his legs feeling like they were going to lose some feeling because of his nerves, but then Sierra crashed into him. A smile stretched his lips as Kennedy automatically wrapped his arms around her and spun them....
...and now he couldn't stop smiling. For the first time in months, his green eyes were shining with joy and...
...boy, he wanted to kiss her.
Kennedy glanced down at Sierra, one hand on her waist and the other going to her cheek. Her lips have always tempted him and now he could kiss them (not that he didn't want to before).
"You don't know how happy you've just made me," he said, moving his hand to the back of her neck, pulling he closer and kissing her.
