I sighed. "You're so damn talented. I feel so insufficient compared to you. You sing beautifully, you were hitting the high and low notes naturally. You play football and you're captain of the team. And Lacey said that you even write your own music. Oh, and let's not forget your perfect grades too. Is there anything that you can't do?"
I was complimenting him, but instead of him relishing in my praises, it was as if I embarrassed him as he got up.
"You make me sound like I'm some kind of God or something. I'm not perfect, and don’t worry about tonight, it was good you followed me and came to the club. We really need to clear the air.”
I stood up, as I helped him clear up. "Well, to me you are a God. Perfect like.”
He shook his head, as we stood so close. "I'm human like you. You think I’m something that I’m not, because like you I have a heart, lungs…"
He stopped as he dropped the plates in the sink, and his hand moved to my lips. "Lips, soft gentle lips…"
Then he kissed me and I returned the kiss, knowing at this moment, my effort to stalk him wasn’t in vain. I’d been paranoid for nothing, he wanted me as much as I wanted him. I’d made a fool of myself, but that didn’t mean anything to me right now. Being in his arms, meant everything.
