Much More than Friends (3 page)

Lisa felt her heart flutter even more, light headed and delighted she took in every detail of Victor's face. His short black hair, his strong jawline, his deep brown eyes and the immaculately shaved glowing dark skin of his face. His lips...

"I could never forget you Victor. I've loved talking to you all week and I felt a special connection with you from the first time we met. I had put it out of my mind because I couldn't handle anymore disappointment and because I thought you were gay."

Victor squeezed her hand and she felt his warmth and strength,she listened to every word as he said, "I've never been more happy that I'm straight. You're gorgeous." Victor moved closer and hugged Lisa tight. She relaxed into his strong body and everything felt right, they fitted together just right.

His lips found her lips and they kissed softly. He caressed the back of her head and held her blonde curls in his hand as he gazed into her big blue eyes. He moved closer to kiss her again and whispered in her ear, "Lisa, I'm in love with you, you are my angel."
