Chapter 1

Terry was trying to figure out how she was gonna tell her best friend and her secret love how she felt,but she couldnt find the words or the right thing to say. Terry is 17 now and she is trying to ask George to always had feeelings for George that she couldnt quite explain until they grew older. The day she realized she was in love with George was when he first defended her from a school bully in eighth grade.

* Flash Back *

It was just like any other day and Terry was walking to class as usual when disaster struck. SMACK! She wasnt watching where she was going and she ran smack into the school bully Tyrone. She realized her mistake to late and Tyrone shoved her to the floor and her books flew everywhere.

" Watch were your going NERD! " he yelled at her. She began to say she was sorry but Tyrone wouldnt have it.

" I don't wanna hear your lame apologies " he sneered and leaned down and smacked her. " I wanna hear you beg. " She began to tear up and just when she was gonna start begging like her life depended on it Tyrone was lifted and thrown to the floor. What amazed her more was that George was the one to do it.

" Dont you ever touch her again, " George threatened. " or it will be your worst mistake." George turned to Terry and gave her a brief smile which made her heart rate sky rocket.

" You alright T? " he asked " he didnt hurt you did he? " Terry managed to shake her head no and smile back. George then returned his attention to Tyrone who had rose to his feet again.

" Your gonna regret that George, " He said, " I'm gonna put you down and make her watc..." he never got to finish his sentence because George nailed him right in his face. As Tyrones head hit the floor George yelled.

" IF YOU EVER MESS WITH TERRY AGAIN I'LL END YOU " he roared in rage. Terry couldn't help but smile. George was keeping his promise to protect her. Her face grew red as she thought ' God that was hot' and then she thought ' wait no i can't think that he's my best friend'. While she was fighting with herself Tyrone got back to his feet blood soaking his face. George had broke his hand rose to his face in shock his eyes went wide.

" I'll never mess with her again" he said holding his nose," I'll stay away from her."

" Apologize to Terry for shoving her" George commanded. " Or I'll break your leg."

" Im terribly sorry for what i did, it was very wrong of me to shove you" Tyrone said.

Terry giggled as Tyrone ran to the office with a crowd behind him and when George helped her to her feet her heart swelled with something she didnt yet understand.

" You ok T. " He asked. This nickname she came to love for it was given to her by him when they were little because he couldnt say her name right when they first met. She smiled to him and gave him a big hug.

" Yea, I'm fine George I should have watched were i was going." she said. George smiled and walked her to class.

~ Later on that night

As Terry was getting ready for bed she couldnt help but think back to earlier that day. She blushed at how she remembered her best friend stand up for her. ' i wonder if he ever thinks about me? ' she stopped ' Of course he does im his best friend ' but she knew what she was really thinking to herself. ' Does he ever think of me as more then his best friend? ' She began to ponder this as she laid down on her bed. Then she thought ' I wonder if he finds me pretty? ' so she got up and walked to her bathroom mirror to examine herself in the mirror closely.

Terry wasnt very bad looking actually. She may not have the body of a popular girl but she looked strikingly beautiful. She let her aurburn hair out of its ponytail and let it fall to her shoulders. She then turned slightly to get a look at herself. She was wearing a black t-shirt that complimented her slim figure and she had on some skinny jeans that hugged her legs tightly but shown that she had thin legs. ' Well i have the body but what about my face? ' she then turned her attention to how her face looked. She had a sharp chin with slim cheeks and thin lips. Her eyes were a very light green which she loved very much. ' I do look pretty ' she thought ' but is it good enough for George? ' she then walked back to her room and plopped on her bed face first.

" He probably doesn't even see me as more than a friend " she said aloud to herself. " He probably likes someone else." but she grew more determined the more she thought about it to make him hers someday. Even if it took her all of her high school career.

* Flash back end *

Terry is standing outside of George's house and she is about to knock when the door opens before she can. When the door opens Terry catches her breath. George is standing in front of her with out a shirt on in his pajama bottoms. She couldnt help but stare at Georges trimmed but not to muscular body as her face flushed with heat. George looks at her and smiles.

" Hey," he says " My eyes are up here." As he reaches out and pushes Terrys chin up. She contained the shudder that tried to escape her. She looked in those deep sea blue eyes and almost got swept away in them.

" I know " she says changing the subject and quickly looking back down " you seem to be gaining weight ". This was an obvious lie but it threw George off.

" I am? " he asked. As he began to look down at himself Terry flushed as she couldnt help but look him over again. His arms were a little muscular but not overly so like most football players had. His sandy blonde hair was all curled and mopped out on his head. She tried not to think of his lips but God she couldnt help it. She wanted to kiss those lushes red lips of his.

" I'm just teasing," she said. " you actually look pretty nice ". ' and hansome as all of heaven ' she thought. George reddened a bit but Terry didnt notice.

" What are you doing here?" he asked trying to lose the flush in his cheeks. " its eight o'clock on a Thursday."

'It's now or never' she thought " I came to talk to you about something " She simply stated. " May i come in it's freezing out here" she said grabbing her arms in a mock shiver. George grabbed her and began to rub his arms up and down her back and arms. They both flushed crimson.

" Come in an get warmed up, " he said " have you eaten yet? My mom just made dinner."

" No, I havent eaten yet," she said. " I would love to join you."

They entered his house and he shut the door behind her. She instinctively grabbed his arm and pulled him to the kitchen. Once there she pulled into a seat next to hers just as Mrs. Corsiers brought out their dinner. Little did Terry know that George had planned the dinner for Terry so he could ask her something very important.
