Chapter 137. First Kiss!
I stared at Mina in shock. I replayed her question in my head. I then replayed it again… And again. I kept replaying the question in my mind. The more I heard it in my mind, the more my body was becoming embarrassed and fearful. My face turned as scarlet as Mina was, my breathing became shaky, and my hair stood on end while sparking. The sparking was causing a small light show in the darkened room, allowing Mina to see I was as embarrassed as she was. She gained a small smile, seeing me in the state I was in. I looked away from her to try and calm myself down.
It didn’t help much. My mind couldn’t let go of what situation I was in, and how close I was to Mina right now. My hand that was still on her head, and me sitting on her bed. I tried to move away to clear my thoughts, but Mina was still holding on to me tightly. I looked into her eyes with my embarrassed and fearful gaze. She had one very similar to that, except with one more emotion added; sadness. I then realized how much courage it took for her to ask, and how I was about to run away from her.
I sighed defeatedly, sat back down, and put my hand back on her head. I smiled lovingly at her, even as my blushing face still gave away how embarrassed I was right now, but I had to show as much courage as she had. I took a deep breath to steady myself. I then looked back down at Mina just staring at me with her big black eyes. My smile grew, and I felt less scared while looking into her black almost glowing yellow eyes. I could feel myself getting sucked into those eyes.
She was a girl I was in love with, and would do anything for. I didn’t know why I was so scared of moving on to the next step. Looking at Mina, I could see that she was ready for this. I could see the look of determination, and love that encompassed her blackened eyes. I placed my right hand on the side of her neck and wrapped my fingers toward the base of her head. She jumped a bit from my hand and just stared into my eyes. I gazed back at her with a loving smile and slowly moved my head closer towards hers.
She almost looked to be in a trance as she stared at me with unblinking eyes. I was the same way. I wanted to take in as much of her cuteness as I could while I was this close. I moved slowly, until I stopped just a hair's breadth from her. I could feel her breath against my neck, and her face took up my vision. There was nothing else in the world. Just her. I could see her face brightening up as she stared at me while I was this close to her.
Both of our hearts were pounding from anticipation and angst. I gulped to try and calm myself. I then let my lips relax and brought them together with Mina’s. I heard her squeak a bit while she used both of her hands to grab onto my head and neck. We both held each other and refused to let go. We stayed in each other's embrace for what felt like an instant. We both had to stop to take a breath. We both did and then just looked at each other with feverish gazes.
Our breathing was heavy, our faces were red, and we both were holding ourselves back. I wiped my mouth of the extra saliva I had. We both sat in silence gazing at the other. Mina was in a similar state that I was in. Her covers were disheveled, she was panting while laying down, and her blackened eyes were glossed over. She was just staring at me while in this state. We then heard that it was time for me to go. We both didn’t want me to leave, but we both knew I had to be fair to the others. She was still laying down, so I reached my arms under her, and gave her a hug.
She froze in my arms and I chuckled a little at how adorable she was right now. I moved over to her ear and whispered. “I love you so much. You always bring happiness in my life whenever you are with me... Goodnight.” She melted and just stared at me while I let her go. I moved the covers over her and matched her gaze. I smiled lovingly at her and gave her a kiss on top of her head. She then pulled the covers over her face to hide her blushing. ‘I love her so much.’ I thought to myself as I moved to the door. I looked back at her squirming self under the covers and smiled. Everything she did, just made me want to stay, but I had to show my love to the other girls. I left her room, and moved to the next door I had to go to.
Making my way towards the door, I blushed just thinking about what I did with Mina. I shook those thoughts away, and began to focus on the girl behind that door. I knocked on the door gently. I heard some stirring from the other side, and then silence. After a bit of time, I heard Momo talk. “You may enter.”
