I looked over at Kiki. I knew what she was going through. I
had the same experience as a painter. I had comforted her, but that's
all I could do. I wish I could do more for her. I felt strange; there
was this odd feeling in my stomach.

"Thanks," she said smiling. "I have to find my own
inspiration. I release that now. If it wasn't for you, I'd...
well..."

I put my hand onto hers. I gave a reassuring smile back.

"You're welcome."

I closed my eyes and smiled again. It was nice to be with her,
to comfort her, to talk with her. She was a person who you'd want to
be with.

Then I felt something touch my lips. It was warm, soft. It had
this strange feeling to it, and yet it felt familiar. I open my eyes,
and my eyes widened.

Kiki.

Her eyes were closed tightly, her face showed a look on her
face, it was serious, but it also revealed a scared look. The feeling
I had suddenly became clearer. She opened her eyes, and her face went
blank, her emotions showed that of a scared child.

"I...I'm sorry."

Tears ran off her face.

"I didn't mean to..."

I smiled, and wiped the tears from her eyes.

"I didn't mean to..."

"It's OK, I said."

"I...I felt strange the first time I met you, like I knew you,
like I wanted to be part of you. My emotions are clearer because I'm
with you." The tears ran down her cheek again. She put her face down,
so it wouldn't face me. "It probably sounds strange to you."

"Not really.", I said, "I feel the same way too."

Her face went up to meet mine.

I turned my head towards the window.

"Sometimes, I have this feeling, this feeling of loneliness
out of nowhere, I can't explain it. Then I think of you and it
disappears."

Her eyes widened.

The feeling I had made sense now. I couldn't believe it. I had
to say it. I turned my head towards her.

"I think I'm in love with you. I mean I was going crazy. I
wanted to see you again, that's why I came. I didn't know what
happened to you, but I knew you must have been in pain. I wanted to
help you, I don't know it I did or not." The words were pouring out of
my mouth, I didn't want to stop. "I love you Kiki, ever since we first
met, this feeling I had has been bugging me."

The quietness lasted for a while. Kiki had this look on her
face I couldn't describe.

I broke the silence.

"I know this sounds strange..."

"I love you too.", she said quietly.

I reached over and she let my lips touch hers. Her eyes
closed. It lasted for several minutes. When we parted lips both of us
were smiling.

"I feel the same way."

When I woke up, Kiki was asleep next to me on the floor. I
moved my hand gently through her hair. I knew I had fallen in love
with her. No matter what happened, I would be there for her.

She was cute when she was asleep. I moved my hand to her face.
No matter what, I will protect you.

I smiled

No matter what I will love you.
