Thread: Best Friends Make The Best Lovers [XxMoonlightRomancexX & last_true_romantic]

Roxanne was the perfect girl for Leo. She was everything he dreamed of and more. Not to mention that he also loved her family and they were quite fond of him too. Leo smiled a little as she answered his first question. At least she knew that, but he wished she knew just how much he did. In his mind as he waited for her answer, questions raced. Would she say yes or no? Would she be upset that he hadn't done this sooner? Would she be creeped out? Would she be mad and kick him out? Would she be happy? His heart raced and pounded in his chest until she spoke. His heart stopped as she told Leo that she wanted to tell him now. He looked down at her and waited for her to push away and scream at him...but that didn't happen. When he opened his mouth to say something, Roxanne interrupted him with a kiss. His heart stopped and his breath caught in his throat. His eyes closed softly and his whole body relaxed as the feeling of the warmness from her tender kiss washed over his body. When she pulled away, his eyes were watery, his cheeks were red, but he had the goofiest and happiest smile on his face. One hand went to her face and caressed her cheek. He leaned closer and gave her lips a soft peck. He couldn't possibly begin to tell her how happy this made him. How it made Leo's heart soar, how it was the only thing that he could have ever wished for. He was silent for a few minutes longer, just staring into Roxy's eyes, his eyes shining with happiness and joy. When he finally came back to the world, off the high from the kiss, Leo didn't hesitate to kiss her forehead. I'll always want you to be my Phoenix. And I'll be your lion forever and always. He promised her with a charming smile and another gentle and sweet peck to her lips. When he pulled away from the kiss, his hand kept up its gentle stroking of her cheek. He leaned up on his elbow so that he could get a better look at the girl in his arms. I do have to admit something... Leo told her, a blush appearing on his cheeks once more and biting his lip. ...I hope you don't mind that I asked your parents first.... He confessed, feeling a little guilty that he did that. Its just, I wanted to make sure that your parents would be okay with it. I didn't want you to have to fight with your parents about it. And I wanted to stay on their good side. Leo explained, feeling a little less guilty. When he had asked her parents, the only thing they had to say was why he hadn't asked sooner? Keep in mind, he had asked her parents last week and they had been bothering him about it since then. They were thrilled and responded that as long as it was Roxy wanted, they would be more than happy to see the two of them together. Leo knew that getting their permission would be a piece of cake. He wasn't really worried about them saying no. It was Roxy that he had been unsure about, even though her parents insisted that she would be crazy to reject him. It had taken him a week to work up the guts to ask, and now, he was wishing that he had asked sooner. If he had known that Roxanne would have reacted this way, he would have asked years ago. But it didn't matter anymore. Now their love for one another was out in the open, he didn't have to hide his feelings, he didn't have to lie about why he did certain things. Now he could hold her close, kiss her, take her on real dates, everything that he had always wanted to. He would always remember this day. He made a mental note of the date, Leo was really good about remembering dates when it concerned Roxy. He always remembered her birthday, when they first met, and even the first time he had come over to her house and had dinner. However, this date would be one that he would always look forward to...their anniversary. Leo began to plot in his head. Where was he going to take her on a date first? When and where would he get the promise ring for her? Did he have enough money saved up to do all this, yes, he did. He couldn't stop smiling as his mind was a buzz with ideas of wonderful dates and ways of showering his beloved Phoenix with gifts and love. His eyes didn't leave hers as he began to daydream about what a wonderful and loving relationship he and Roxanne would have, looking into and dreaming of the future they would have together.
