Forever and Always: Let's Make a Deal

(Brambleclaw's POV)

"D- do you want to go out with me tonight? Like on a date?" Squirrelflight looks to the floor, biting her lip. Shock pulses through me. She feels the same way!

"I would love to, Squirrelflight! Where do you want to go?" Happiness burns brightly in her emerald eyes, and she smiles brightly.

"Hm… somewhere where I can see you dressed up. Someplace fancy." Squirrelflight's eyes twinkle. I laugh gently.

"Alright, I'll find us a place."

"Well, I am going to go pee… and change. I'll be right back. Don't miss me too much!" Squirrelflight taps my nose and scurries back into her bedroom, her laugh floating the air.

I turn back to my food. Realizing the eggs are done, I remove them from the hot pan. As I reach across the stove to turn the burner off, my bare stomach hits the stove. I yell in pain. Squirrelflight runs back into the kitchen, wearing only jeans and a bra.

"What happened to your stomach?!" She exclaimed.

"What happened to your shirt?!" I fired back.

"Well… I, um,... was in the middle… for StarClan's sake, Brambleclaw, you burned yourself! My shirt doesn't matter right now. You've seen me in a bikini, a bra is not really that different!" I blush insanely. Squirrelflight lets out an exasperated sigh, and she grabs a cold, wet washcloth. Squirrelflight presses it to my stomach gently, and instant relief floods over me. I stroke her fiery red hair softly. Her soft green eyes look up and meet mine. Before I realize what is happening, her body is pressed against mine and our lips are fighting for more contact.

The rag falls to the ground as Squirrelflight wraps her arms around my neck, and my arms are around her thighs, pulling her upward. I sit Squirrelflight on the counter and kiss her harder. She responds with a small moan. The burning in my stomach returns, and I break away from her.

"Well," Squirrelflight pants, "that was… fun." I say nothing, but I bend over and pick up the cold rag. I place it back on my burn, and Squirrelflight retreats to the bedroom. I sigh, running my fingers through my hair.

When Squirrelflight returns, she is wearing my shirt again. I look at her questioningly.

"I decided to keep it for a while. Hope you don't mind." I shake my head, slightly flattered. I smile slightly and hand her an egg.

"What am I supposed to wear home?" I ask her. Squirrelflight sighs, goes back to her room and returns, wearing her own shirt. She tosses my shirt to me, and I catch it. I slip it over my head and push my arms through the holes.

I pour a cup of coffee, and drink the liquid slowly. I savor the crisp, bitter flavor of the coffee. I finish my food, and start to leave.

"See you later, Squirrelflight." I kiss her cheek and leave the small apartment.

~Linebreak~

I button the last button on my shirt; then, I smooth out my slacks. I run my fingers through my hair and glance in the mirror. What in StarClan's name am I doing? I glance at the clock: 6:10 p.m. Because I'm already late, I grab my wallet and nearly run down to Squirrelflight's apartment.

Palms sweating, hands sweating, I knock on her door. After waiting for about a minute, Squirrelflight opens the door. The sight of my date nearly takes my breath away. Squirrelflight stands before me in black dress. The dress stops at about mid thigh, and her hair is curled. Like the idiot I am, I stand staring at her.

"Careful, if you keep your mouth open like that you might swallow a bug or something." Squirrelflight tells me, reaching toward my face and closing my gaping mouth. She takes my hand, closes her door and leads me to my car. I walk toward her side of the car and open her door for her. Squirrelflight slides gracefully into the car. I close the door and walk to my side of the car.

"Ready?" I ask her as I start the vehicle. Squirrelflight's hand closes around mine. She smiles at me, like she has been waiting for a moment like this forever.

"Ready."

And chapter two is finished. I decided to upload weekly. Every Wednesday. I don't have homework on Wednesdays, so that will be perfect for me. And today is Wednesday! Talk to you next week, if you have any questions just pm me! Have a great week, loves. Bye!
