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

Despite Leo seeing her as the perfect girl for him Roxanne didn't see it that way. In fact, she was so hard on herself that the few girlfriends she could remember Leo having over the years Roxy would compare herself to, telling herself all the ways each one of them were the right girl for him and why she wasn't. But, clearly she had been wrong because he had just asked her to be his Phoenix and he said that he would be her lion forever and always. Sure, Roxanne knew that Leo loved her, but in all honesty she would probably never truly understand just like he would probably completely understand just how much she meant to him. As if she was reading his mind before she spoke to tell him that she wanted to give him an answer now she seemed to know all the questions he was asking himself, but she didn't say anything in regard to those questions just yet and as they looked at each other as she told him Roxanne smiled when she saw a look of shock on his face. Clearly she could tell he hadn't gotten the answer he had been expecting. After she stated her answer and it had time to sink it she could tell that Leo was about to say something and that was when she leaned in to kiss him, silencing anything he was about to say for now. Even with her eyes closed as the the two of them kissed she could feel his heart stop and also could tell when the breath got caught in his throat. What made her smile against his lips was when she felt his whole body relax as the warmth of her kissed washed over his body. When she ended the kiss by pulling back to look at him she smiled at him and just like Leo's her cheeks were red, too. I love when you smile that goofy smile at me. Roxanne said in a whisper and when she felt his hand go to her face and begin to caress her cheek she smiled, loving the feel of his skin against her's. When Leo leaned in to give her a soft peck she didn't pull away, in fact, she met him half way and just like him, there was no way she could start to try and explain how happy she was. This was one of the things she had been wishing for, for as long as she could remember and as they starred into each others eyes in the silence her Emerald eyes mirrored the happiness and joy in his. Roxanne looked up at Leo as he kissed her forehead after coming back to the world after the high from the kiss faded. You always have been my lion and I will always be your phoenix. I think we have always known that, but for some reason we were both fighting it by telling ourselves that the other would never feel the same way and that we were meant to be with other people. She said and her heart melted when he flashed her one of his charming smiles before kissing her again, this time on the lips. When he pulled away she looked up into his eyes as he kept up the gentle stroking of her cheek. When he said he had to admit something to her as he was leaning up on his elbow to get a better look at her she wandered if what he had to tell her was good or bad. She watched as during his pause his cheeks turned red and he bit at his lips and as she awaited an answer the silence seemed to drag on forever. When he finally spoke again she was relieved to hear him asking if it was okay that he asked her parents permission to date her before actually asking her. Of course it's okay, but I don't see why you felt you needed to when you already knew their answer. They had been waiting forever for use to get together. She said smiled, hoping to ease his guilt. They are definatly okay with it, Leo. Hell, when they find out about us they will be congratulating us. She added, hoping to ease the rest of his guilt completely. Leo, I love you. She said softly before kissing him, moving one of her hands to the back of his head as she did. One thing Roxanne didn't realize aside from just how much Leo loved her and how long he had been wanting her to be his girl was just how long it had taken him to build up the courage to tell her about his feelings for her. Even if she did, though, none of that mattered mow. What mattered now was that they were finally done hiding their feelings for each other and done lying about reasons why they wanted to spend so much time together. What she liked most about their feelings being out in the open, though, was that she could tell him she loved him and he would know exactly the way she meant it and they could now kiss each other and she could lay in his arms and both of them were completely sure of what it meant. As Leo did Roxanne made a mental note of the date, too. Also, just like him she was good at dates that involved him and she would always remember today as it would be their anniversary and day she would consider one of the most important in her life. It was almost as if she had read his mind when she spoke. For our first date why don't we figure out something here? She asked before kissing him. We could cook something and then watch movies or something. Roxanne suggested. Just like Leo, her eyes didn't leave his as she wandered about their future.
