Darcy and her father return back to their old stomping grounds of New York City. With her, Darcy brings habits of being reclusive. She is perfectly content spending most of her time within the walls of her father's café and sees nothing wrong with t...
"Is that me?" Darcy asked, reaching out to trace a finger over the figure that was, indeed, her. Instead of catching any sleep last night, I took the picture from the contest last weekend and fixed it up. Cleaned the lines, made some adjustments, added the colors. I put Darcy right in the middle, positioned with her arms bracing the roof's edge as she gazed out into the city she called home. From this position, it was as if someone had snapped a picture from behind her.
"I had you wear that dress your aunt sent you. The black one that used to be Evellyn's."
"It's absolutely perfect," she whispered, shaking her head. "You're perfect. And... you've made it extremely hard not to fall in love with you."
"R-really?"
My heart was thundering against my chest as Darcy placed the paper down and stepped closer. This time, it was me leaning into her touch as she took my face softly into her hands. "I love you, too, Christopher Radley. Always have, always will. How could I not when there's just so much of you to love?"
The overwhelming joy mixed with this sense of relief and disbelief made for an indescribable feeling as I took Darcy into my arms and kissed her again. We practically melted. Desire and fondness coursed through my veins. My head felt so light that I grounded myself by pressing Darcy against the wall of the building's exit. I reveled in the press of her lips and body against mine. After spending weeks getting to know the way Darcy moves and feels in dance, it was electrifying to explore her in a whole different way. We kissed until not even this closest of contact could keep us warm from the evening air. The two of us were practically shivering as we collected our things.
"So..." Darcy murmured, touching her fingers to her swollen lips. "Where do we stand now?"
I considered this for a moment, then took her hand in mine and brushed a kiss against the knuckles. "Well," I said, "For right now, let's just say we're just two kids in love."
