Chevonne smiled at me and it took me straight back to when we were onstage together. I never got a chance to tell her how much I enjoyed playing opposite her.
The last time I remember seeing her, it was our first kiss. Technically, it was our eighth first kiss on the stage, but who was counting? If I hadn’t gone away to school when I did, who knows what would have happened. Maybe we’d be happily married by now.
All I knew for sure in that moment was I wanted that first kiss. The real one. Just for us.
I unplugged the phone, then walked around the table and knelt on the floor at Chevonne’s feet. She knew what was coming, but she waited. Hell, she’d been waiting for years, and so had I. But now? The wait was over.
“Chevonne?”
“Yes, Brevin?”
“Can I kiss you?”
Chevonne smiled and gently cupped my cheek. I placed mine over hers, finding it warm. I’d done more than one thing right today.
“I would love that,” she whispered.
