Kiss

`hi amy, how r u?' Anton typed into the chat program.

`hi anton, i am fine. what are you up to?' Amy replied

Anton looked at the reply in the chat program and his heart lifted, the tedium of the work day instantaneously released at that one instant. He couldn't help it---he had known Amy since his days in college, but since graduation, he had been working back in his home country while Amy was pursuing her PhD at another college. The only time they could ever meet and talk with each other was over the Internet, the ansible of the times.

`thinking of u. ;-)' Anton typed, his face breaking out into a small smile.

`aww... that's so sweet. a little creepy, but still sweet. so, when are you coming over to visit again?'

`next month.' Anton replied before thinking quietly to himself of the things that he wanted to do with her when he could finally meet her once again, face-to-face, heart-to-heart. `can't wait to meet u once again!'

`i know! i am excited too! we should do something interesting together.'

`definitely!' Anton typed, his mind suddenly running through all the interesting things that they could do. Go out for a meal, watch the sun setting over the vast corn fields that spread all the way to the horizon, visit the nearby arboretum.

Or kiss.

That thought suddenly emerged in Anton's head, and he blushed a deep red, feeling his cheeks flushing from sheer embarrassment, even though he wasn't actually seeing Amy while chatting. Kiss. It was definitely something interesting, and he knew that they hadn't... done it. He felt a little weak in his knees, and was thankful that he was seated. It took him some guts to finally reveal his feelings for her, but by then, he was already overseas, and she was gave a lukewarm response that he took to be a somewhat positive outcome.

But to kiss her, an overt display of an intimacy that was so pure, sublime. To kiss upon her rosy lips, to sneak a taste of her sweetness through the most innocent yet most deepest of ways of showing love. Was it in the realm of possibility?

`are you still there? you've suddenly gone quiet.' Amy typed through the chat program.

`oops, sorry i was distacted.'

`for fifteen minutes? it must have been a good distraction!'

`hahahaha yes it was. wanna know what it was?'

`sure!'

`u <3'

Anton leant back on his chair and stared at the exchange between he and Amy. The kiss was definitely going to happen, he was very sure of it.
