This is love

"Why are you crying?" she asks curiously.

"My-my grandpa is dead." He stutters, and she pulls him into a hug. She hugged him as if her life depended on it, Steve was just crying on her shoulder as she hugged him and started stroking his hair.

"I feel your pain, I felt the same way when my mum died. I was devastated." She muttered, and he pulled away from the hug.

"Rachael do you like me?" he asks softly.                                                  

"Of course I do; why are you bothering to ask me such a silly question?"She muttered.

"I mean love." He muttered, and she looked away shyly.

"I don’t know if what I feel for you is…….he didn’t let her complete her sentence. He pulled her by the waist and removed the mask from her face. He crash-landed his lips on hers, kissing her as if his life depended on it, and she broke the kiss. He looks at her, slowly catching his breath.

"Am sorry." He muttered and she grabbed his shirt and pulled him closer, kissing him without preamble. He was amazed, so he gave in to the kiss. Kissing her slowly and deeply was like bitting into cotton candy as he allowed his lips to dance vividly with Rachael's. His lips were sweet and tasted like honey. He pulled away from the kiss and cupped her cheek.

"Rachael Ray, will you be my girlfriend?" He inquired, and she blushed and looked at him in the eyes. Her eyes were sparkling with joy.

"I will be more than happy to be your girlfriend." She beamed. Hearing this, Steve was overwhelmed with joy.  He grabbed her hand, feeling a tingling sensation as he held her hand and looked into her eyes.

"I love you." He muttered.

"I love you too." She mumbled, avoiding his gaze, and he smiled.

"Who knew you could be the shy type," he teased, and she smiled and looked at him.

"Are we going to make our relationship public?" he inquired, looking keenly at her. And she nods negatively.

"No, for now, I forgot to tell you Lisa came looking for me today." She muttered, and Steve's eyes lit up.

"Did she see you?" he inquired.

"Yes she did, and that time I wasn’t wearing the mask." She declared.

"I don’t know how she found out I was living here." She added.

"I think the FBI must have told them, it’s only a matter of time till your parents come knocking at the door." He muttered and he look at him.

"I don’t want to go back here." She stated with pouted lips.

"You will have to go but I will protect you and tell them not to harm a hair in your head." He stated and she smiled widely at him and rest her head on his shoulder. He smiles and kisses her forehead.

The next day 

Steve and Rachael walk out of the rooms when they sighted Mr Davis and Mrs Bianca walking into the house.
