They walked side by side down the sidewalk, close enough that their arms brushed and sent a thrill through Kate every time. The evening was warm and sticky, the sky almost dark, and they were quiet as they walked. It wasn’t an uncomfortable silence, more pregnant with possibilities. Ones that Kate couldn’t even begin to fathom.

“So, what’s the verdict?”

“Hm?”

“On the date,” Nat said. “Did you have fun? Fun enough to try again maybe?”

The evening had been fun. After a while, after they’d both settled into themselves a little. Once talk had turned to things they enjoyed, movies, music. Once Nat had admitted to knowing all the words to Fame, and proceeding to recite them until Kate was practically screaming with laughter. Once Kate had talked about her grandfather, his passing, how lonely she sometimes felt without him, and Nat had taken her hand and not said sorry, not spoken cliches, but just held it until she felt better.

“I had a lovely evening,” Kate said, honestly.

Nat slipped her hand into Kate’s, and Kate let it happen, unable still to believe that she was walking hand-in-hand with Nat Lee.

“So did I,” said Nat. “In fact, I’d like to do this again.”

“We’re not even done with the first date,” Kate said. “And you’re already planning a second.”

She was teasing, joking, but Nat stopped and turned and suddenly they were face to face. And Kate was looking down into those eyes and almost disappearing into them and her heartbeat pulsed and her hands quivered and she could barely breathe.

“We’re not finished with this date?” Nat said, stepping a little closer. “Are you planning something else? Some other activity?”

The words were soft and sultry and Kate could feel her control slipping away, sliding out across the sidewalk and trickling into the gutter. Nat’s warmth was so close, those eyes were so close, those lips were too close. The night faded around them. The traffic noises dulled, the streetlights dimmed. All it would take would be one movement. One of them to move just an inch. But it couldn’t be her, it couldn’t be Kate. For all her controlling instincts, this was one thing that she just couldn’t start. She was still so afraid that it wasn’t what it seemed, that Nat was just waiting for her to make a move so that she could laugh, say that she’d never been interested, say that it was all some evil prank.

Nat untangled her fingers from Kate’s. Kate missed their touch. But the hand came up, stroked against her upper arm. And suddenly Kate knew. She knew this was real, knew that Nat felt exactly the same as she did. She allowed her eyes to half close, her head to start to tilt so that when Nat moved forwards she was ready and their lips met perfectly.

And that kiss. A swirling of heat and softness, a matching of lips and tongues and pulses that turned two entities into one creature. It went on and on and Kate had no sense of time, no sense of what was right or wrong, it was all simply this.
