“Can you please…? Hmmm, I don’t know. Maybe put a shirt on?!” Henry turned around to face the currently blushing blonde and smirked at her growing frustration. He didn’t have to be a telepath to know where her thoughts were going – you could read it on her face and despite the fact she kept trying to look away, she couldn’t stop looking. Maybe his crush on the blonde wasn’t as one-sided as he believed. Instead of doing as she asked, he moved closer to her, giving her plenty of time to move away if she wanted. They were alone in her bedroom, and the door was closed and they were the only ones in the house for once.

“You’re the one that wanted to train and got mud all over my shirt,” he stated softly as she glanced up to his eyes. The short blonde let out a giggle at the memory of him landing in the puddle of mud – she was quite proud of that kick. The giggle dyed slowly as she realized how close he had gotten and she glanced back down to his shirtless chest. Courtney never really expected a boy to ever be half naked in her room – and for Henry to be standing before was almost as hard to believe. She’s dreamed about it before, of course, but with his past and everything they’ve been through this year, she never expected him to do it. She studied his face, his eyes seemed to be dancing with amusement and his smirk had long since turned to a grin that she wanted to kiss off his face… Without second guessing herself, she did exactly that – she bounced up on her tiptoes and met his lips in a kiss. It wasn’t her first kiss, and it wasn’t his, but it was their first kiss. He brought his arms around her, pulling her even closer as her hand trailed up his chest and around his neck.

As they slowly broke away from the kiss, Henry leaned his forehead against hers, a large grin on his face. Courtney couldn’t wipe the grin off her face for anything. “I think the no shirt can stay as long as you put it back before my family gets back.”

“When was that again?” Henry asked, honestly trying to remember how long they have the house to themselves. Before she could answer, he brushed his lips against her as he gently lifted her causing Courtney to let out a laugh at his actions. He was just so happy that this was happening.

“I think we have another half hour or so before they get back from the movie.” The laugh dying on her lips as they kissed again. Thoughts of her family finding them like this quickly disappeared as they moved to sit on her bed. She never wanted this moment to end.


THE END.
