1996

A short story I wrote in 1996:

"The kiss! The look! The pain!"

"Do you love me?" Scott asked Kristie, she turned her head from his.
"Do you love me?" He asked again.
She slowly turned back to face his green eyes, she'd looked into them more than once and had felt the love pour from them, but today, right now, the look made her want to cry and kiss him, but at the same time she wanted to run away and forget about him.
"Do you love me?" he asked for the last time, gently taking her face in his hands.
Her gaze once more met his before she looked away. "I don't know!"
Seh looked back into his eyes, the pain she saw was like a mirror from his heart. He took one last glance into her eyes, and rubbed his thumb across her cheek. He slowly let go of her, turned and walked away. As he reached the end of the trelles, he turned to her, a tear running down his face.
"I love you", he said and was gone from sight.

She stood alone, on the cold stoney walk. Her heart cried run after him but her feet wouldn't take her. Her mind screamed, cry out for him, but her voice wouldn't call. She asked herself, 'Do I love him?' Her heart cried 'Yes', but she was hesitant. Slowly the tears started flowing from her eyes. She had let go.

"Scott" she cried as her feet carried her across the stony pathway.
"Scott" she called again as she passed the trellis which had blossomed with sweet smelling flowers.
As he come into view she called out one last time. He turned around and she ran into his arms, and he kissed her, pasionatley but with the gentleness of his love. She gazed into his eyes and knew that he loveed her. And as he asked her "Do you love me?" a smile crept across her lips and she shispered, "Yes, I love you!"
