It's the passion in a kiss that gives to it its sweetness; it is the affection in a kiss that sanctifies it.

~Chaper 6b~



My room was dark as I stepped inside, sighing blissfully as I just left Valentine’s place. I told Lydia and my mother that I’d be home for dinner and I also remembered that Jill would probably more than likely call me. But after work I went with Val back to her place where we picked out a few movies for tomorrow night. I honestly couldn’t wait until tomorrow night... sitting on the couch with possible snuggles as we watch the movies.



Sure, Val and I made out, but I think snuggling can be more intimate on some level. Sitting there, holding someone in silence, allowing your silence and subtle touches and glances to speak volumes. It’s probably just me thinking that way, but what can I say? Being with Valentine has changed my life entirely. I now look forward to work, I look forward to those late nights and early mornings. I want to work and get my own place, have her over for a private dinner. I want her.



I thought I heard the phone ring, but I wasn’t sure...until Lydia knocked on my door. "Serene, phone!"



Sighing, I picked up the phone in my dark room. "Hello?"



"Serene, it’s Jill," the familiar voice said over the other end.



I took a deep breath and smiled politely as if she were right in front of me. "Jill, how are you?"



"Good, I thought for sure you wouldn’t be home...trying to skip out on me," her laugh was still the same, very sweet.



"And why would I do that?" I asked with some humour in my voice.



"Oh I don’t know, that little brunette of yours could have one over me," Jill laughed like it was a joke, but I knew her well enough to know that she was only laughing to hide her hint of jealousy.



"Well, she is, kind of my girlfriend," I bit my lip nervously. I had no idea why I was getting nervous, this is the girl who really broke my heart and here I was, trying to walk lightly over hers? God Serene, get a grip!



"She doesn’t... I mean, how close are you two?"



I cringed. She was about to judge Valentine. Our relationship. "It’s a budding romance," I smiled, "we really have a lot in common."



Jill breathed over the other end of the phone, "well, I’m only in for a couple of more days, did you want to get together?"



"I don’t know, Jilly," I sighed and I heard her sigh as well. Jilly was a name I always called her when we were together, I guess it just slipped out naturally. "Val and I are actually doing a movie night at her place Friday night, and I’m not sure what I’m doing after work tomorrow."



"Call me then, if you have any free time for an old...friend," Jill paused the last word and hung up.



I knew she was upset, maybe she realized she lost someone that she knew she couldn’t have back.



I hung up the phone and settled onto my bed comfortably. Was life to good to be true that the Lord has thrown in an obstacle to balance out the finer things in life? Valentine was it. I knew that I had to have her, treat her like a Queen in hopes that I could be her...King? No, that didn’t sound right. I would treat her like a Princess and I could be her...Prince? Whatever. As long as we were meant to be.



****



I stumbled down the stairs, the early morning sun blinding my eyes. I shuffled myself into the kitchen and groaned when I heard her voice, "sleepy head, welcome to the breakfast table." God, what a cat screech.



"Morning, Lydia," I grumbled, sliding into the chair beside her. "Don’t you have a home?"



"I do, but mom was making her famous french toast and called me over for breakfast," she smugly said.



"Oh," I smiled and poured myself a glass of milk.



"Oh, by the way, I ran into Valentine on my way here, she was outside her home and I was going to see Steve..."



I froze. She didn’t, did she? "Oh yea?"



"Yea, she should be here any minute...joining us-"



I didn’t even give her a chance to finish her sentence as I bolted out of my seat and upstairs. Rushing in my room, I stripped my clothes and looked for something to wear. God, I loved Lydia, she was my sister, but she really gets under my skin often. Now, I have to make sure I don’t have a grumpy voice.



After I fought with my closet, I managed to find a nice top and clean jeans, washed up and made it back to the table before Valentine showed up.



"Wow, you clean up well," Lydia snickered.



"Bite me," I grumbled, running my fingers through my hair, getting the last of the tangles out.



"Valentine, come in," I heard my mother say in the other room.



Lydia shot a look at me and smirked. "Well, be a lady and go meet her at the door!"



Just as I was about to get up, Valentine was in the kitchen, smiling at me. I felt my breath escape as her long hair cascaded over her bare shoulders. "Morning," I smiled and got up, pulling out the seat beside me.



Valentine leaned over and brushed her lips over mine slowly before pulling back and smiling, "It’s a very good morning," she whispered.



"PG breakfast table," Lydia cleared her throat, smirking at me.



I scowled at her and laced my fingers with Valentine’s for a moment before we all settled in for a good breakfast.



"This is very good, Ms. Tayes," Valentine smiled over at my mom.



"Oh please, call me Evelyn."



Val nodded and blushed a bit with shyness. God, I was falling so in love with her. She was polite and caring, beautiful and sexy and she was a freaking amazing kisser.



Amazing Valentine.

Woo-Hoo! An Update! update dance!



Awesome update, by the way. And I don't like Jill. She's trouble and I know it! That's pretty much it... Except for an 'UPDATE SOON PLEASE!'



Take care

I definitely agree with that sentiment.



I'm a bit worried about Jill. Will she accept that she lost her chance with Serene or will she try to sabotage things between Serene and Val?



The image of Serene rushing upstairs to clean herself up for Val was sweet.



I'm looking forward to more
