Chapter 2: Indecent Proposal

Connie walked swiftly from her and Lizzie's room downstairs and towards the campus gates.

"Connie," Gordon jogged over to her.

"Hey," she said. "What are you doing?"

"I wanted to talk to you," he said, "about this whole alumni gala thing next weekend."

"Yes, she'll be there," Connie said, "no I won't talk to her for you."

"Why not?" He said.

"Because you're a big boy and you can talk to a girl by yourself," she laughed. "Besides which I actually like know Bella Riley and she's not good enough for you."

"Whatever," he said, "are you coming over for dinner tonight? Mom said she called you."

"Yeah I didn't get her message until I'd already made plans," Connie said, "but tell her I'm sorry, and say hi to Casey for me."

"You got it," he nodded. "See you later."

"Bye," she waved and walked away shaking her head. She really hoped that Gordon got over this crush on Bella quickly. It just didn't seem healthy.

Bella giggled feeling Eddie's weight on top of her. She closed her eyes and exhaled as he entered her and he kissed her

"Do you like it?" He whispered in her ear and she whimpered happily. The sex had happened perfectly naturally the first time. Bella had gotten an email from Eva and ended up crying by herself in a ball. Eddie had found her and one thing had lead to another and here they were. Now they did it almost every day. Bella found the whole thing comforting, Eddie had always been soothing, and since Eva left she'd felt terribly alone, it was nice having something tangible with Eddie to hold on to. When they finished she cuddled close to him.

"You do know that you're the luckiest fifteen year old boy on the planet right?" She said, looking up at him.

"Because I get you?" He smirked, "yes, I'm aware." She smiled. "What are you thinking?"

"I have to go," she said. "And so do you." She popped up.

"What no cuddling?" He said as she threw him his pants.

"I thought boys hated to cuddle," she said. He laughed grabbing her waist and pulling her back into bed.

"Not with you," he said and kissed her neck. "I like cuddling with you."

"I really have to go," she said softly, "I have to meet Kevin Reed in the library." Eddie groaned. "Trust me I like it less than you do."

"I find that hard to believe," he said. "He's always staring at your ass."

"You think I don't notice that?" She rolled her eyes. "Besides, it's a nice ass isn't it?"

"Yes, it's a very nice ass," he smiled. "I love you."

"I love you too," she whispered. "Bye." She kissed him and bounced out. Eddie smiled and leaned against the pillows. He was the luckiest fifteen year old boy on the planet.

Reese walked quietly from her car to the motel room. She'd smiled and flit her eyelashes at the office to find out which room Aaron was in and she flipped her hair behind her head and knocked on the door. She sucked in her breath when Aaron answered after a few rigorous rounds of knocking, in just a towel.

"Can I help you with something?" He said.

"I wanted to talk to you," she said. "Can I come in?"

"I'm not going anywhere," he said, "so if Stephie sent you over…"

"Please," she rolled her eyes, "if Stephie knew I was hear she wouldn't talk to me for a month. Plus I don't want you to leave."

"Really?" He said. "And why is that Reese?"

"If you let me in, I'll explain," she said. He nodded and stepped out of the doorway. "You have to get back together with her."

"I'm trying," he nodded, "that's hard when she won't talk to me." She nodded and bit her thumbnail. "What's it to you anyway?" She sighed.

"Stephanie's my best friend," she said, "I want her to be happy." He looked at her.

"Bullshit," he said, "this is about Riley. Are you afraid that one of these days he'll realize what her being single means?" Reese looked at him and he laughed. "I don't get why you want someone's left overs anyway."

"I could say the same for you," she shrugged. Aaron looked at her. "It would have been over years ago if he'd just made a move and you know it. Stephanie was confused for a long time, and she's not anymore, she's in love with my boyfriend and I need you to make that go away."

"You're gonna help?" He said. She nodded. "Why?"

"I love TJ," she said, "we belong together, but he doesn't always see that and he wants what he can't have, he can't grow up and give up on her. It's time for that, you're a big part of it. When Stephie's with you at least she's distracted."

"Fine," he said, "you've got yourself a deal."

"Great," she smiled, "nice abs by the way. Did you get those from the street fighting?"

"Good bye Reese," he said, pushing her out of the door.

Lizzie and Tony lay making out on her bed. She pushed his hands down as they worked their way up her shirt and then up as he tried to undo her fly.

"Lizzie," he groaned, "come on, you're killing me here." She sighed and looked at him. "Fine, I'll go."

"No," she shook her head, "Connie's at a student council meeting all night and then staying at Connie and Charlie's tonight, I want you to stay!"

"I can't," he shook his head. She sighed, "Lizzie, I can't stay and just kiss you anymore, I'll lose my mind." She looked at him. "Do you love me?"

"Don't do that," she shook her head. "You're so much better than 'If you love me you would.'"

"I don't what else to do," he said. "I love you Lizzie, I want to touch you, it's not unnatural." She looked down, her legs dangling on the edge of the bed. He sat down. "I know you're afraid. But I won't hurt you. I won't get you pregnant, and even if I did I wouldn't leave you." She looked at him.

"You say that like it's something we can control," she said. "It's not. It took my mom years to get her life back on track after David. I love my family but I will not end up like she did, I'm going to do something with my life."

"Yeah," he nodded. "Fine," he stood up, "do something with your life." He walked out and slammed the door. She looked at her feet and then stood up to follow him.

"So," she groaned seeing her brother on the steps, "What'd you do to Tony? He looked pissed on his way out."

"Did you come to collect?" She said.

"I came to say hi to my sister," he said and she sat down. "Plus I got this." He handed her a post card.

"Barcelona," she whispered. "Do you think they'll ever come home?"

"David never really had a home," Dean shrugged, "wasn't that the point?" She sighed. "Look, I know I'm supposed to like want to kill the guy because you're my big sister and everything, but Tony's a good guy. You should stop being such a little cock tease." She looked at him.

"Thank you Dean," she nodded. "That was extremely profound."

"No problem," he nodded. "I have to go. I told Kevin that I'd save him from studying with Bella." She laughed.

"You haven't sucked Kevin into your goon squad have you?" She said as he stood up.

"Yes, I've gotten our family friend who's mom is a state senator and dad's an FBI agent to be involved in my amateur illegal gambling ring," he said, "because I am in fact an idiot."

"Just checking." She said. "See you later." He smiled and then walked back over and hugged her.

"Everything's going to be OK Lizzie," he whispered.
