Life was starting to feel perfect for Bex and Bowie. They held hands in public. Kissed each other every time they said hello and goodbye, had picnics together, and hung out as much as possible. Each one introduced the other to their families. For Bowie, it was no problem. For Bex, it was a bit more difficult since her mother Celia was terrified of her daughter dating a dangerous rocker. Bex's father though saw little harm in the relationship and kept Bex's mother at bay. Everything was nice until one day Bowie broke the news to Bex that his band was going on tour as soon as he graduated from high school. An upset Bex upon learning this yelled, "WHAT!?" The two were alone at Bowie's place on the couch as Bex had only a look of shock on her face. With sadness in her voice, Bex said, "Bowie. You can't move away." Bowie then casually said, "But I'm the lead member of a band Bex. Touring is what bands do. This is gonna be my life for I don't know how long." An upset Bex then said, "But I've still got another year of high school. What about us?" Bowie still with a calm and casual attitude said, "We pause what we have for a year. We'll get back on track once you join the group after you graduate next year." Tears began to appear in Bex's eyes as she said, "But... I don't want to be without you Bowie." Bowie then held Bex close to him as he said, "I know Bex. I know."
For the next several weeks leading up to Bowie's high school graduation, Bex and Bowie continued to spend a great deal of time together. But more and more conversations led to Bex trying to pressure Bowie into staying. But Bowie wouldn't budge on wanting to go on tour with his band. Then came the final night before Bowie was to leave town. He and Bex had Bowie's house all to themselves. They were finishing up their dinner as Bex said, "This was nice. You know I could make you a dinner like this every night if you stuck around." Bowie sighed and said, "Bex. This is happening. I'm leaving town tomorrow. But don't worry. You're still my girl." Bex then said, "Bowie... what would make you stay? Give me one thing that would make you stay." Bowie smirked and said, "Well I might eventually give up the band tour life if you wanted us to get married one day." A smiling Bex said, "You mean it Bowie. You want us to get married?" A smiling Bowie then said, "But not right now girl. I mean I love you Bex but... I'm not sure I'm ready for that." Bex suddenly became very silent. Bowie sighed and said, "I'm gonna take a shower before I go to bed. You can take your time letting yourself out. I'll see you tomorrow." Bowie then stood up and walked out of the room. Bex sat silent for a moment. Until she began to smile and then began to stand up.
Minutes later, Bowie was alone in his shower naked washing up. Without him knowing though, Bex stepped into the bathroom wearing on a towel tied around her body. Bex then coyly put her hands on the shower curtain and said, "Oh Bowie." Bex then opened up the shower curtain and stood before Bowie. Bowie turned his head to look at Bex as he said, "Bex. What are you..." Bex smiled as she let her towel fall down exposing her entire nude body to Bowie's eyes. As Bowie stared at her, Bex said, "Lets make tonight special." Bowie then began to smile as Bex moved towards him. The two then began to kiss and grab each other close as a night of serious passion began.
