A month had passed. Lily and Roman had talked on the phone every day. She couldn't wait to see him again. Lily had just gotten home from a class. She got herself a can of Coke and opened her books to study. A half hour had passed. Lily's cell phone started to ring.

"Hello?" She said.

"Hi." Roman said.

"Hi."

"What are you doing?"

"Studying." "I have a quiz on Tuesday."

"Want me to let you go?"

"No." "I could use the break."

"Did you have a shift today?"

"Yeah I'm beat but I've got to study." "If I pass this quiz I get to follow pediatric-nurses on there rounds and get some work experience."

That's great." "How do you normally do in your classes?"

"Good but I usually devote all my time to studying." "Recently my mind's been drifting off somewhere else once in awhile."

"Where?"

"I just find myself thinking a lot."

"About me?"

"Maybe." She said smiling.

"Well if that's it I know the feeling." "Do you have work or class tomorrow?"

"No I'm off from both." "Tomorrow it'll be nothing but study and study and if I've felt like I've studied enough, I'll study some more."

"Oh."

"Why?

"Well Raw's gonna be in Pittsburgh and I thought you might like to come." "I would really like to see you." "I was gonna leave a ticket for you and a backstage pass."

"I can work something out." "I'll study in the morning." "Then I'll get up early on Tuesday morning and study."

"You're sure?"

"Yes."

"Alright I'll leave the ticket and pass at the Consol Energy Center box office."

"Ok." "I hate to do this but I gotta go."

"I know." "You have to study."

"Yeah."

"I'll see you tomorrow night."

"Ok bye."

"Bye."

The next evening Lily went to the arena. She went backstage and found Roman's locker room. She knocked on the door. He answered.

"Hi." She said.

"Hi." "Come on in." She went in. They hugged. "It's good to see you."

"It's good to see you to."

"You can sit down if you want."

"Alright." They sat down on the couch.

"So did you do anything today besides study?"

"Not really."

"Tonight after the show, do you wanna come back to the hotel with me?" "We can watch a movie."

"Ok." "After that I'll have to leave." "I have to get up early tomorrow."

"What time's your quiz tomorrow?"

"Two."

"Alright well, tonight, no studying." "We're gonna have fun."

"Sounds good."

After the show they went back to Roman's hotel room. They were sitting on the couch. They'd just finished watching a movie.

"That was a good movie." Lily said.

"Yeah." "Lily, will you be my girlfriend?"

"Yes."

"I was hoping you'd say yes."

"I don't want to but I really should go."

"Ok." He walked her to the door. "I'll call you tomorrow."

"Ok." They hugged. For a second they just looked at each other. Then slowly he pressed his lips to hers. A few seconds later she kissed him back. When it broke they smiled at each other. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight."
