If only I could speak

When Gunther first kissed me I was beyond surprised.

We were at school, I had just been waiting for him to finish his training. when he ran over to me, I grinned, expecting a chirpy 'hi' or something.

I handed him his water bottle. As he took it he muttered a quick 'thanks' then before I could blink, he had swooped down and pecked my left cheek.

I felt my cheeks burning and the spot where his lips had touched my skin tingled, and sent shivers rippling through my body.

I honestly didn't know what to think in the course of those three seconds.

It was the aftermath, a surge in my chest, I can barely describe how this fire climbed from my heart, through some artery that takes it to the lungs.

From my lungs this sudden rush, seemed to gush up to my throat. Don't ask me what happened next, but this surge lit up my mouth.

I let out a startled, "argh!"

I had just uttered something!

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't frightened, I was a little shocked, but I didn't mind the kiss.

This all occurred within another three seconds.

"Ebony!" Gunther gapped at me.

I gave him a look of shock, much like the one his face portrayed also.

"You?" He gasped, "you... you didn't speak, but you made a noise!"

I felt like screaming.

Out of shock? Pure joy? Happiness?

I don't know.

I had just uttered something when doctors, surgeons medic staff told me, that my voice box would be inaudible for the rest of my life.

"Try to say something," Gunther gave a shocked grin, "again."

I tried I honestly did.

But it seemed that the flame had died, there was no surge, no rush of... of something?

I can't. I simply wrote.

"We have to call your mum, tell her, she can get a doctor, surely there's something they can do right?" Gunther spoke in excited, jumbled sentences.

I typed in the passcode, for my phone, clicked on my mums contact and handed the phone to Gunther.

He looked at me, his eyes searching mines. As if to silently say, "are you sure?"

I nodded solemnly.

I felt tears prick my eyes, as I heard Gunther, say "hello?"

I wasn't sad, maybe a little overwhelmed?

I had uttered something...

The first something in a long, long time...
