He thought he saw the slight wetness of her eyes, the telltale signs of her tears, once he reached her at the door. If anything, that had strengthen his resolve as he closed the space between them and their lips. He felt arms wrap around him, and realizing how new he was at this--his second kiss in his entire life--he felt a moment of uncertainty. But, he did not dwell on it as he reached up and held her face gently between his hands. All his mind could manage to think was the feeling that washed over him and consumed him and the girl facing him. Everything was happening so fast, but neither of them missed a beat.
To an outsider’s retrospect, this was a long time coming, this kiss. It could only happen sooner or later. He looked down at her, not quite looking into her eyes, as she parted from him, only to tackle him with a hug, which he greeted back with one of his own. He felt her words loud and clear as she pressed against him, and Robert somehow knew that she would know what he was saying as well as he held her closer and kissed aimlessly on top of her head, taking in the scent of the herbs she would cook with and the woods she would hunt in--the scent that became almost as familiar as his own.
He could not remember a moment before this that he wanted her more than ever. He always wanted to tell ever, but he never knew the words, like an artist or writer never finding their muse. But, with his touches being his brush and pen, he managed to create a picture he had been wanting to show for a long time. He never thought he would feel like this for someone before, always thinking there was more to life than this, and he was, once upon a time, dead wrong. But, everything was different now, and he could not find any more meaning in his life except for the thing he held in his hands.
He looked down at her finally, and met the eyes that had been looking at him for a couple of moments. A moment passed, and his flashed his trademark grin, meek and awkward but now joyous and caring. He pressed forward again and kissed her once more, now a bit more emotional, yet still retaining that gentleness. Now he wanted to show how much he loved her, but he would not do anything that she was not comfortable with, and could settle with sharing kisses and touches for a couple more moments.
