Chapter 2

Sebastian woke up the next morning; his arm was still around Megan. He looked over at her, she was still asleep. She looked so peaceful and beautiful; she had a small smile on her face. He wondered what she was thinking. She opened her eyes and saw him watching her; she blushed.

"Uh… we should get downstairs before we miss breakfast" she said pulling away from him.

"Wait" he said pulling her back. He leaned in and kissed her.

She was shocked, but kissed him back. Then she realized what they were doing, she blushed deep red. "I should go" she said rushing back to her own room. She shut the door and sank to the floor against it. "Oh my god he kissed me!" she whispered to herself. She had butterflies.

Megan had a quick shower. She kept going over the moment in her mind. I can't get involved with him, she told herself; it would complicate things too much.

She was getting dressed when Sebastian knocked at the door. "Just a minute" she said. She finished dressing then went to the door.

"Ready for breakfast?" he asked.

"Yeah, lets go" she said, not able to make eye contact with him.

They didn't talk about the kiss, they avoided the subject, and talk was kept strictly about the tournament. After breakfast they went across the street to tour the stadium. Around noon they went back to the hotel for lunch. They had a court booked for some practice time that afternoon, so after lunch they changed into workout gear and went out to the courts. When their practice time was up they went back to their rooms to shower then went down to the restaurant for dinner. After dinner they went back up to their rooms. Megan made some excuse about wanting to get to bed early and disappeared into her room.

The next day went pretty much the same. They stuck to safe topics like the tournament, and the school work they had to do while they were away. That day they would play in some qualifying matches, and then the tournament matches would start two days later. They both did very well in their qualies, so they wouldn't have any matches the next day.

"Um… we should really talk about… you know… the other night" Sebastian said when they were on their way back to their rooms that evening after dinner. He opened his door and gestured for her to come in. She hesitated, but she followed him in.

"What's there to talk about?" she said. He looked a little hurt by her comment.

"It's just that… I mean… um… I like you Megan" he finally managed to get out.

"You do?" she asked, hope in her eyes.

"Yeah, I mean of course I do. I've wanted to kiss you since the first time I saw you" he confessed. "You're beautiful Meg" he added. She smiled at him.

"I like you too" she said

"Good" he said. He went over to her, and leaned down to kiss her. "Stay here tonight" he said.

"I don't know…" she said.

"Come on, we can just watch TV or something" he said.

"Well ok, I guess" she said. "I'm just going to change first." She went to her own room, brushed her teeth, and put her pajamas on then went back to Sebastian's room. He had put on pajamas too. He looks so cute, she thought examining him.

"What are you thinking?" he asked seeing her thoughtful expression.

"Nothing" she said blushing. She is so cute when she blushes, Seb thought.

Megan went and made herself comfortable on the bed next to him. She grabbed the remote away from him and changed the channel.

"Hey! I was watching that" he complained, trying to take the remote back.

"Not anymore" she laughed, holding the remote out of his reach. He lunged for it tackling her, but she got away. "Nice try" she said laughing. He went after her again, tickling her. She shrieked and giggled. They wrestled playfully over the remote, until Sebastian had her pined. He looked down at her and their eyes met, he felt the spark again. He leaned down and kissed her, she kissed him back. While she was distracted he snatched the remote out of her hand.

"Ah ha!" he said in triumph. He leaned back, and switched the TV back to what he was watching.

"Hey!" she said shoving him in the shoulder. They watched TV for a while. He kept glancing at her out of the corner of his eye. He thought she was so beautiful, and he loved that little half smile she would get when something in the show amused her.

She noticed him watching her, and it made her feel good. He had his hand on the bed beside him; she reached over and put her hand over his. She looked up at him, and he looked at her. Her hair fell in her eyes, and he reached over to brush it away. She smiled her half smile, he couldn't resist; he kissed her. They made out until really late, and fell asleep in each others arms.
