Part 4

They reached the video store. Morgan pulled into a parking spot and shut the car off. She looked at Kira…and didn’t want to look away. Her mind was racing. She was still in complete disbelief that Kira was right there in front of her. She couldn’t tear her eyes away. Suddenly, Kira’s voice broke through her daze.

“Um….Morgan……Morgan!” Kira had a tone of concern in her voice.

“Huh? What? What’s wrong?”

“Hon….Um…I don’t know how to tell you this…but uh…..the car is….well it’s rolling backwards.”

“What! Oh shit!!!” Morgan exclaimed.

The car was indeed rolling backwards. Morgan had been so wrapped up in staring at Kira and lost in thought that she had forgotten to put the car in park.

Oh my God. You must think…..jeez. I can’t believe I just did that.” Morgan laughed nervously.

Kira turned serious. “Are you ok? I mean…with my being here. You seem pretty…preoccupied.”

Morgan looked at Kira in utter surprise. “Are you kidding? To be honest….I think I forgot just because I was so caught up in looking at you and thinking that you’re so beautiful…and that you came all this way…..that I didn’t pay attention to what I was doing.”

Now it was Kira’s turn to be shocked. “Oh!” she said quietly. “Wow.”

“You must think I’m this big geek now huh?”

Kira looked deep into Morgan’s eyes. “I don’t think you’re a geek at all.”

“Really? You’re not just saying that are you?”

Kira smiled gently. “No, I’m not just saying that. I’ve never had anyone forget something like that just because they were looking at me.” She blushed. “I think it’s pretty neat actually.”

Morgan laughed as she visibly relaxed. “Yeah?”

“Yeah.”

“Come on. I’ve got the damn car in park now…let’s go in.”

Kira giggled. “Ok let’s go.”

_____________________________________________________________________________________

The videos got returned and they headed back to Morgan’s place. As they walked in the door, Kira’s stomach decided to make itself heard. She had been pretty nervous all day and hadn’t taken the time to eat.

“Um…..” Kira grinned sheepishly.

Morgan started laughing. “Was that you or do we have a tiger in the house? You must be hungry!”

Kira giggled, “Nope no tiger…just me. I really didn’t eat anything today.” Her tone got more serious as she caught Morgan‘s eyes. “I guess I was a little nervous about the drive and meeting you and didn’t take the time to eat.” Another sheepish grin and blush followed.

Morgan flashed her a big smile. “Let’s get you something to munch on then.”

They entered the kitchen. “Close your eyes.” Morgan said suddenly.

“Huh? What?” What is she up to?

“Just close your eyes for me ok.” Morgan had forgotten about what she had placed in the kitchen earlier. She grinned. Hope she likes these.

Kira closed her eyes. Morgan took her hands and carefully lead her over to the kitchen table.

“Ok. You can open your eyes now.”

Kira slowly opened her eyes and couldn’t believe what greeted her. There stood Morgan….with two roses in her hand. Her heart melted. She barely form a coherent thought let alone a sentence. Her eyes glistened with tears that threatened to come sliding down her face and it took everything she had to keep them from falling.

“They’re beautiful.” She finally managed to get out. “Just like you….” she added softly. “Thank you.”

She took the roses from Morgan’s hand and brought them close to her face. She inhaled deeply.

Morgan was blushing furiously. She could’ve sworn she was red all the way to her toes. “You’re welcome.” It was all she could say.

Kira looked up and found herself locked in Morgan’s eyes. She couldn’t tear herself away. She felt as if she was drowning in those twin pools of blue. The two stayed that way for a long quiet moment and then suddenly Kira’s stomach decided to protest loudly that it was still empty.

They both blinked and started laughing. “Guess we should get you something to eat huh?”

“Yeah, I guess we should.” She said in between giggles.

Morgan started for the fridge. “Let’s see what we got here. What are you hungry for?”

Kira’s eyes followed Morgan’s every move. Morgan’s body was lean and very much in shape. She was definitely a feast for the eyes. What am I hungry for indeed?

“Kira…..Hey you in there?” Morgan had turned from the fridge and was standing there waiting for Kira to answer.

“Huh? What?” Kira felt the heat rising from her neck to encompass her entire face. She looked up and met Morgan‘s gaze. “Oh…sorry. Spaced out there for a minute. What did you ask?”

“I asked you what you were hungry for.” Morgan grinned.

“Uh….anything’s fine.” She sputtered out. “I like just about everything.” She was still blushing furiously. She felt as if Morgan could see her glowing face from across the room. Come on girl…shake yourself out of it. Pay attention!!!

Morgan turned back to the fridge. “How about something quick? You must be tired from driving all day.”

“No.” Kira grinned. “Not tired,” she said as her stomach once again made it’s presence known. “Just hungry.”

“Well I got something here that’ll fix you right up then. Sandwiches ok? It’s quick….and something tells me whatever it is we eat should be quick….before we get anymore grumbles from the source there.” Morgan said with a smartass grin.

“Very funny.” Kira said with a smile. “A sandwich would be” Her stomach rumbled yet again. “fine.”

They both burst out laughing. “I’ll make two for you!”

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Sandwiches made and quickly eaten, they headed upstairs and into Morgan’s bedroom. The nervousness had returned. Neither one sure of what the other was thinking and both too afraid to ask.

Morgan walked over to the bed and sat down. Kira didn’t know what to do with herself. She wandered around the room taking everything in.

“You can sit here on the bed.” Morgan said quietly. “I don’t bite.”

“Um….Ok.” She grinned a nervous grin. “You don’t bite huh?” The words escaping her mouth before she had a chance to stop them. Oh my God, did I just say that.

Morgan swallowed hard. Did she just say that? What do I say? “Not on the first date.” the words just tumbled out.

Kira sat down on the bed. “Well in that case, I’ll take a seat.” She giggled.

Morgan felt the weight of the bed shift slightly as Kira sat down. She couldn’t believe she was so nervous. What was about Kira that had her so tied up in knots? What do I say? How do I? She sighed. She knew what she wanted to do but was unsure how Kira would take it. After all she hadn’t been here but a couple of hours.

Kira looked around the room. She avoided Morgan’s eyes. She knew that if she got locked in them again, she’d be lost.

Morgan’s voice broke the awkward silence. “So……Um…..” She heard her own voice shaking. “What would you like to do? Are you tired? Want to watch some TV…..”

Kira felt Morgan’s gaze. Almost as if she had no will of her own she looked up. All she saw were those two spectacular ice blue eyes and they were peering right into her soul.

Morgan was gone. She had lost all reason and didn’t care. She locked her gaze on the dazzling green eyes in front of her. “Or we could….just…..” She moved in closer to Kira, never breaking her eye contact with the beautiful vision before her. “Um…..” She moved a little closer. “get the….” She was directly in front of Kira now. “hard part….” She leaned in towards Kira. “over with.”

Kira couldn’t move. She felt like she was outside herself. She felt and saw Morgan moving closer to her. She went numb. Yes….please. Before she knew it she was leaning in towards Morgan and felt the softness of Morgan’s lips lightly brush her own.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Morgan leaned back slightly, her eyes still locked on Kira. Oh my God. She’s so beautiful. She reached up and laid a gentle hand on the side of Kira’s face and then slowly worked her way down to Kira’s neck. Morgan couldn’t tear her eyes away. She gently used her hand to gently guide Kira in for another kiss. She brushed Kira’s lips again. Oh God…her skin is so soft…..I’ve never felt….

Kira saw Morgan’s hand come up. When she touched her it was all Kira could do to stay coherent. Morgan’s touch electrified her. Every nerve was singing, her skin burning from Morgan’s touch. She stayed lost in Morgan’s eyes and then felt Morgan’s gentle hand on her neck pulling her close yet again. Morgan’s lips founds hers. Oh God….help me. I’m lost and I don’t ever want to be found.

Morgan couldn’t believe how she was feeling. Her head was spinning. The world outside didn’t exist. The only thing that mattered was right now, this moment. She pulled away slightly. “Are you real?” she whispered.

“Are you?” came the quiet response.

Both stared at each other in utter amazement letting the moment soak in.

Suddenly Morgan pulled away and moved so that she was sitting on the other side of the bed. “Oh my God….I’m sorry.” she mumbled.

Kira was stunned. What had just happened here? “Sorry? For what?” she asked cautiously.

“I…I shouldn’t have done that.” Morgan sadly responded.

“You….” Kira was confused as hell. “shouldn’t have done that? Why not?”

Morgan looked down at the bed. “Um…well….you just got here….and …..I don’t…..” God this is hard. All I want to do is touch her again.

“You don’t what hon?”

“I don’t want you to think I’m just out to….” Morgan blurted out.

Ahhhh so that’s it. Ok we can do this…can’t we? Kira’s mind shut down and her heart took over. “Look at me.”

Morgan continued to look down at the bed. I can’t. God help me I can’t…..can I? “Morgan…..look at me….please?”

Morgan could feel the tears threatening. I can’t do this……I can’t be hurt again. I’m falling in love and it’s too fast….I just can’t.

Realization dawned. “Morgan…..hon……” Kira’s voice pleaded. “Look at me……” Oh God please let her look at me. I know she’s been hurt before but I had no idea. I’m scared too….please just let her look at me.

Morgan heard the near desperate tone in Kira’s voice and slowly lifted her head. “I can’t.” she said in a voice that could barely be heard even in the dead quiet of the room.

Kira felt tears rising up into her own eyes. God…look at the two of us. Both of us so scared…..help us. She felt her inner instincts take over. She slid over until she was once again sitting directly in front of Morgan. She placed a gentle hand under Morgan’s chin and slowly lifted until Morgan had no choice but to look at her. She sat quietly looking into Morgan’s eyes. They were so full of fear…so full of questions. She knew they mirrored her own.

Morgan went to lower her head again and Kira just as quickly brought her hands back up to softly cup Morgan’s face. A tear escaped Kira’s eye. “I’m scared too.” she said gently.

“Are you?” Morgan asked.

“Yes.” It was all Kira could say. Another tear fell.

Morgan finally found the courage to look deeply into Kira’s eyes once more and was surprised to find them glistening with tears. “Why are you crying?” She asked softly.

“I don’t know.” came the honest reply. “I just…..I’ve never….I’ve never felt….this close to someone so fast.”

She can’t possibly feel this. No…it’s just not possible. I know how I feel. I’m falling in love with her. I’ve FALLEN in love with her. She doesn’t feel that way for me…does she? I’ve never felt this way for anyone before…and definitely not this fast. It’s so frightening. Look at her Morgan…she’s beautiful. Look into her eyes and ask yourself what you see there. She took a long moment and did just that.

Morgan’s mind had nothing to do with what happened next. It shut down and her heart left it behind in the dust. She raised her hand and wiped the tear that had escaped from Kira’s eye. “I am scared.” she said quietly. “Will you be patient with me?”

Relief flooded Kira’s eyes. She smiled. “I will be with you…..and…..I ask the same of you.”

It was Morgan’s turn to smile. “We’re some pair huh?”

“Yeah…” Kira chuckled slightly.

Morgan never let Kira finish her sentence. She leaned over and tasted Kira’s lips again and felt Kira‘s ready response. Morgan pulled back slightly. I love you….and I’m never going to let you go.

Kira’s lips were tingling from her contact with Morgan’s. She needed to feel them on her again. She put her hands behind Morgan’s head and pulled her close. Their lips met again, more intensely. Mouths parted and they spent a long leisure time exploring each other. Somehow Kira had managed to crawl into Morgan’s lap, straddling her, without breaking contact. Morgan’s arms were now wrapped tightly around Kira’s body, pulling her closer. Kira felt Morgan’s kisses move from her lips and slide down her neck. She bent her head back giving Morgan easier access. Her body was on fire.

Morgan gently kissed and nibbled her way down Kira’s neck and then slowly up to take her earlobe gently between her teeth. She felt Kira’s body shiver. Her hands now caressing Kira’s back….then her sides. God help me but I want this woman.

She suddenly shifted her body and before they both knew it, they were laying on the bed, Morgan on top of Kira.

Kira reached up and used her fingertips to gently trace the features of Morgan’s face. She’s so beautiful…..I love you Morgan…..God I can’t help it. I love you. She smiled softly and then proceed to lift her head up slightly to capture Morgan’s lips for another searing kiss. Her hands then slid around Morgan’s body and pulled her in as tightly as she could….caressing her back as Morgan proceeded to kiss and nibble her way down Kira’s neck once more. Kira needed more. She gently pulled Morgan’s shirt out of the waistband of her jeans and slid her hands under the soft material and found skin.

Morgan felt Kira’s hands touch her bare skin and thought she’d go over the edge right then and there. Her head was reeling. She pulled back…..and just stared. She then shifted so that she was laying more on her left side, leaving her a free hand. She placed it on Kira’s stomach and began to make slow little circles ever so gently. She placed another kiss on Kira’s waiting lips. Morgan’s hand slowly caressed it’s way up Kira’s torso until it was almost touching her breast. She stopped for another moment. She had to be sure.

Kira looked into Morgan’s eyes. Am I sure? Do I want this to happen? She gave a slight nod. Morgan smiled and leaned in for another kiss.

The world outside the two of them didn’t exist for a while.
