Date: Fri, 13 Aug 2010 23:47:01 -0700 (PDT) From: Over Rated Subject: Loving Kyle - Chapter Seven Chapter Seven I wanted to stay up for hours and just talk with Kyle about anything and everything, but I was getting tired and from the look on Kyle's face, so was he. "I'm really tired." Kyle said. "Okay, good." I replied smiling. "I was gonna say that I want to go to sleep, but I didn't want you to think that I just didn't want to stay up with you." "I wouldn't think that anyway." Kyle smiled and I hugged him again for looking so cute. Kyle went under the covers and I turned on my side to turn off the light. When I got under the covers, I turned to face Kyle as he did the same toward me. It was dark, but we could both tell that we were just smiling while we looked at each other. Twenty minutes went by before I realized I wasn't going to be able to get to sleep without holding him. "Turn around." I said to Kyle. "Why?" He asked. "Just trust me. I think this will help us get to sleep faster." "Okay." Kyle said as turned around. I moved up closer to him and put my arm across his abdomen in between his side and his arm and I rested my face against the back of his shoulder. "I like this." Kyle said. I too loved lying like that. Every time I inhaled I could smell Kyle's scent. It was sort of a mix of clean clothes, deodorant and his natural smell. It made me tingle in my chest whenever I inhaled. Kyle then held the hand of mine that was wrapped around him. I was so happy and felt so good. I could feel Kyle's body move from breathing. It was nice to feel the response his body had from doing what it needed to in order to survive. Kyle then moved his feet back and they nestled with mine. It was just a pile of our feet keeping each other's warm. "I love you, Spencer." Kyle said to me. That sentence almost made me cry. I loved hearing him say that. The boy I loved saying that he loved me was the best thing I could ever hear. "I love you, Kyle." I replied as I squeezed him closer to me and kissed his head. It was so intoxicating sleeping with Kyle having our bodies entangled. It was strange, though. I thought that I would get hot from doing this, but I wasn't. I guess from the fact that I loved him so much, it sort of made my sexual feelings for Kyle just sort of disappear from this moment. I just kept thinking about what it would be like from now on with Kyle. Before I could realize it, I had fallen asleep. I woke up in the middle of the night; no real reason. I just did. And when I woke up, I was still in the exact same position I was in when I had fallen asleep. My arm was still wrapped around Kyle holding his hand and my face was resting on the back of his shoulder. I was so relieved that everything that happened wasn't a dream. I normally am never able to do anything when I'm tired, but this was obviously different. I smiled and lifted my head to look at Kyle's face. He was still asleep and I could see parts of his face from where the light shined in from outside. The cutest noise ever came from his nose; it was a type of snore, but it was unique to Kyle. I leaned over and kissed him on the cheek and went back into the position I was in moments before. I was so thankful for everything that had happened to me all of a sudden. Morning had arrived. My eyes flickered open from the daylight and I saw Kyle looking at me smiling. I guess he had turned around to face me when he woke up. "What are you doing?" I asked. "Watching you sleep." "Why?" "Because you looked so cute and peaceful." He said smiling, showing me those crystal white teeth. Kyle then began playing with my hand. He was tracing my wrinkles with his fingertips and it was tickling me. "Stop." I laughed as I pulled my hand away. "That tickles." "Sorry." He smiled. Kyle then moved closer to me and kissed me lightly. It was so great. When he broke the kiss, we rested our foreheads on each other's. I loved sharing any type of contact with Kyle, even if it was via foreheads. "What's gonna happen?" Kyle asked me. "What do you mean?" "I mean, like what's gonna happen with the two of us now? I mean now that we're... you know." "Now that we're what?" "I mean, I think we are, or at least I'd like us to be... boyfriends." My heart almost melted away when I heard him say that. "I think we are too." I told him. Kyle smiled and grabbed me into a hug. "So what is gonna happen with us?" He asked. "I don't know. I guess nothing really has to change. We're the same we were yesterday, except now we're more than friends." "I know. It's so awesome." Kyle said right before kissing my forehead. "What time is it?" I asked. "Almost 9:30. What should we do today?" "I don't know. I really just wanna spend it with you." I said as I squeezed Kyle harder. "Same." Kyle replied. When we had it in us to actually get up, we did so, but we were still sitting in bed with the TV on some movie channel. "Kyle, I wanna ask you something." I said to him. "Okay. What?" "When I told you I was gay..." "Yeah?" "Did you already like me, or did you like me before I told you? Because I don't want you to just tell me that you like me because you're gay too." Kyle was silent for a moment. "Kyle?" "I don't really know. I think I liked you before you told me, but when you told me that you were, I think I was sort of so happy that you were gay too, that I knew then that I did like you." "Okay." I said trying to understand what that exactly meant. Then Kyle grabbed me into a hug and pulled me down to the bed again. "But, I know like you now." Kyle said. "I love you." I shoved my face into the crook of his neck and hugged him back.
