Feedback more than welcomed. Should I continue this?

"Chantel you up?" I asked just above a whisper. I was lying on my back and she had her head on my chest, while I caressed her back. I couldn't sleep, I was so lost in my thoughts. What had we done? Had we gone too far? What happens next? Where do we go from here? Will this fuck everything up? So many questions.
"No I am just laying here basking in the moment. Just taking it all in."
"Hmph." See this is where I would normal insert a dirty ass joke, but I'm not sure how this would go over now.
"Why you hmph me like that? What's wrong?"
"Nothing is wrong."
"Nigga now you know that I know you too damn well for you to try me like that." Tel had valid point, I mean no one knew me better.
"I mean you right, but I'm just thinking that's all."
"So I'm listening."
"I mean we turned a big ass corner tonight. I just have a million and one questions going thru my head right now. Like did we do the right thing? Will this change everything? Like hell, I want to know how you really feel about me shit? It's so much to take in.
"I feel you, but enjoy this blissful moment. Don't over think it. Let's just live life, everything happens for a reason and to honest Mally shit has never felt more right for me than it has tonight." She grabbed me tight and dug her head deeper into my chest.
A tear dropped from the bridge of nose onto my left pect, right to where my heart pumps life into my body. I held her tight as I fought back my own tears. My best friend had my heart in her hands and I could say I had hers equally. Our bond was special beyond comprehension how we got here was crazy but really boggled my mind is how we kept these feelings from each other for so long.
I kissed her on the forehead. "No more tears baby girl, I'm here for you as I've always been."
Chantel sat up on the bed, so I did the same with my against the head board. "Jamal" she started. "Jamal, you're everything to me. I never told you this because I was scared that I didn't mean half as much as you mean to me. I dreamed of a day we could possibly be more to each other. I just didn't want to be alone if I took that leap. Every guy I ever dated fell short because he wasn't you."
"Damn." Was all that came out of my mouth.
"What, why damn?"
