Open Question: This is my third draft kiss scene?
Chapter 4
ADELAIDE OPENED HER EYES, AWAKENING FROM HER coma. She was clueless to where she was. Her eyes met Antonio?s. He had been sitting on the chair next to her bed.
?Adelaide,? he breathed. Adelaide was confused. She pulled her eyebrows together, and shut her eyes.
?What?s wrong?? Antonio stroked her cheek.
?Who are you?? Adelaide tried to sit up.
He didn?t answer.
?Who are you?? she repeated.
?I?m Antonio,? he laid her back down. He was hurt that she didn?t remember who he was.
?Are you my brother??
Antonio brushed a lock of hair from her eyes. His fingers trailed down her face, and down her pale cheek. ?No, I?m your best friend,? he chuckled.
Antonio smiled and took her hand. ?Do you remember anything??
Adelaide shook her head, ?No.?
?Maybe if I explain how you got here?? he smiled.
?Okay.?
He braced himself, he was nervous, ?You came to my house after school about a month and a half ago. We went on a car ride with my little sister. Three cars hit us, and we went over the railing on the road. My sister, Brigida, died. We went into comas. You just woke up from yours.?
?Wait, you?re my best friend. Your parents left for the United States a few weeks after you turned eighteen, right??
?Yes.?
He leaned in, and kissed Adelaide?s forehead. More memories came back to her.
He ran his fingers through her hair, sighing happily.
?Wait, you just told me you?re my best friend, not my boyfriend.?
Adelaide pushed him away from her, frightened.
He sat back down, his heart aching. He looked at the floor guiltily. ?Sorry,? he mumbled.
?But, I?ve always loved you.?
He looked up in surprise. ?What??
?I?ve always loved you,? she repeated. ?Yes, that?s what my memories tell me.?
Antonio gently started taking out the machines that were connected to Adelaide. He turned off the heart monitor, and smiled.
?Thanks, those things were irritating,? she chuckled.
?Your welcome. But I?m not sure I should have taken those out,? Antonio reached over to put her IV back in.
They fought it out, and Adelaide won, he wasn?t going to put the machines back in.
She placed a hand on his cheek, and came closer to him. He backed away, and bit his lip.
She hunched her shoulders, and looked away. ?What?s wrong??
Antonio wasn?t sure about this, he wondered aloud if she was.
?I, I don?t know. If I love you, shouldn?t this be easy?? she swallowed.
?I don?t know. I?ve never been in love.?
?Kiss me.?
He came closer to her face, and cupped her cheek in his hand. She stroked his arm, and looked into his beautiful eyes. He was wearing ax, it made the young Italian girl slightly dizzy.
A knock sounded at the door. Antonio dived under her bed, and curled up, trying to stay hidden.
?Adelaide?? Carlo came in.
The patient pulled her eyebrows together and questioned who he was.
?I?m your father,? his face lit up with happiness.
?Hi,? she smiled and eyed the end of her bed. She wanted Antonio.
Carlo kissed his daughter?s forehead, ?I have to go home honey, but I?ll be back tomorrow,? he turned around, left the room.
Antonio climbed out from under the bed, and sat on it. Throwing the blanket off of her, Adelaide wrapped her arms around Antonio?s neck.
He crushed his lips to hers.
Adelaide tasted oranges on his lips, and remembered that oranges were her favorite fruit. Antonio wrapped his arms around her shoulders, and moved one hand down to the small of her back.
She remembered that she liked being held there when being embraced. Antonio ran his fingers through her hair, and pulled her tighter against him.
At a staggering level, Adelaide?s memories of him came rushing back to her. Her heart was flying, and his mind was swirling. Antonio?s wonderful breath made her dizzy, and she started gasping.
He was gasping too, but he didn?t break the kiss. She finally ducked her head into his throat. He kissed her hair, and trailed down her face with little kisses.
?I love you,? he murmured as he kissed her neck.
Antonio mumbled her name with each kiss to her neck.
?You really love me?? she reluctantly pulled away from him.
?Yes,? he sighed.
Adelaide moved over, and let him lay down next to her. She nuzzled his collarbone softly as her heart burst within her chest. His rapid heartbeat was deafening.
Antonio grinned through his tears of joy. She wiped them away, and laid her head on his chest.
?Thanks for singing to me while I was in my coma,? she wrapped herself around him, and fell asleep.
His tears poured into her hair. ?Your welcome . . . my love,? he drifted to sleep by her side.
