He had heard enough.He was tired of hearing what she should or shouldn’t have done.He kissed her, and this would make it their second kiss.

Anthony had never kissed another girl.The only person he had ever wanted to kiss was Daisy.Sure, there were girls at school who wanted a piece of him, but he wasn’t interested.They could flash their tits at him, shake their asses, and even try to suggest he could do anything to them.They were not who he wanted.

Some people would say his feelings for Daisy weren’t right, or stable, or even sane.Again, he didn’t give a shit, because to him, his feelings were exactly where they needed to be.He loved this girl.He had loved her from the first moment he saw her, dirty hair and clothes, the works.Anthony couldn’t understand why he felt this way, only that he did.

Breaking the kiss was hard to do, but in that moment, at the lake, it was just the two of them.

“We’re going to have to stop doing this,” Daisy said.

“Why?”

“Because ...Tabitha is ...I don’t know, always saying something.”

“You know, Tabitha doesn’t need to know everything.”

Daisy sighed.“She’s my best friend.”

“And I’m your best friend, your boyfriend, and your protector.”

She laughed, but it wasn’t a natural sound, almost forced.“Protector?I think I have proven I don’t need a protector.”

“Oh, you need one, babe,” Anthony said.

“Babe?”This time, it did make her laugh.“What are you talking about?”

“Don’t you like it?”

Daisy rolled her eyes, but the smile on her lips lit his very soul.“I didn’t say I didn’t like it.I do, I like it a lot.I think I even like it a little more than I should.”She then went on her tiptoes.“What is this?”

“You and me, for life, babe.”

“Are you teasing me right now?”

“No, I’m just stating facts as I see them.Tabitha doesn’t need to know everything.”He cupped her cheek.“Unless of course you’re ready to tell her everything, about how I kiss, how it feels to be alone with me.Are we going steady?”

“Stop,” Daisy said.

“You can tell her, or you and I can enjoy this.There is going to be time later on.”And with that, he kissed her one final time.
