Chapter 10 delivers a big shock, one I was not expecting. Daniel and Ali's first kiss.
Chapter 10, page 45
Through a crack in the curtain, he looked around the gym until he saw Ali dressed as a harem girl. The costume showed off some of her best features. Carefully, Daniel maneuvered the shower to her side, quickly opened the curtain, enveloped her and closed the curtain. Ali was startled, but smiled when she recognized her captor.
"Want to dance?" he asked, putting his arms around her waist.
"I never danced with a shower before," she said, putting her arms around his neck.
"Well, don't you think it's time to test the water?" he joked.
Ali nodded, smiling. "Where have you been hiding? I haven't seen you for weeks.'
"I've been busy."
"I'm glad you got unbusy," Ali said.
"Me, too."
Daniel looked into Ali's eyes, then pulled her softly toward his racing heart. She looked up at him and tilted her head. Gently, he leaned toward her and they kissed. And kissed again.
