In the span of a few minutes, his life had gone from only false words that could maybe pass for praise from monkeys and demons to the girl of his dreams kicking around the possibility of loving him. When Mojo was dealt with, Boomer had to go easy on him. If he hadn't sent him on that job, this would never have happened.<br/><br/>Her feelings, while they made his heart convulse, were also confusing. He didn't know what love felt like, so he couldn't say for sure if he felt it for her. He had thought of her fondly for several years, so maybe he loved her, but he wasn't positive if that was all it was. He didn't want to say he did and not mean it, but he couldn't say nothing. Bubbles had grown up surrounded by love, so it was probably simple for her to identify.<br/><br/>He took some time off from wondering what to do to enjoy the unexpected kiss. Her lips felt just as pleasing on all levels now as the first time.<br/><br/>When she had pulled away, he knew what to do. "i really like you and i want to be near you like i am now more often than not. it feels...perfect here. and i<em>really</em>like kissing you. is that what love is?"
