This kiss was beyond my wildest dreams, it was how a first kiss should be, it was how one would kiss after expressing their hearts to each other. Seth leaned his forehead against mine when we broke apart. I smiled slightly, thinking about how different this felt to… I frowned at that thought pushing it to the back of my mind. Seth saw my smile change to a frown.

"What's wrong?" he asked with sincerity. I shook my head; I wasn't going to be able to tell him if I couldn't tell Collin. I fought my sobs of despair, but they won. We sat on the beach, and Seth just let me cry into his chest. I cried for a solid hour, and when I was done I was exhausted and was falling asleep. I felt movement beside me and whimpered, thinking that Seth was leaving.

"Shh. I'm right here," he whispered. "I'm going to take you home, ok?" I vaguely remembered nodding before falling asleep.

I woke up in a bed. I realized there was sun streaming into the room. As I became more aware to my surroundings I felt a warm body beside me. I looked over my shoulder to see Seth.

"Seth." I said shaking his shoulder. His reaction was to nuzzle my neck. "Seth!" I tried again, this time he was awake and sitting up.

"What? What?" he asked looking around frantically before his gaze settled on mine.

"Good morning. Umm, not to sound rude or anything, but where am I?"

"At my house. I didn't think Collin would like me very much if I showed up at your house with you, asleep in my arms. And I told you I wouldn't leave." He shrugged.

"Oh. Thank-you." I smiled at him, I was thanking him for more than letting me sleep here.

"Anytime. Would you like anything to eat?" I nodded. He jumped up and grabbed my hand and towed me behind him to the kitchen. As he got out breakfast ready he told me to sit.

"What's your favorite color?"

"Sandy brown, yours?" I was confused with myself; yesterday my favorite color had been royal purple. At that precise point I looked into his eyes and I occurred to me that that was the color of his eyes.

"Green. What do you like to do for fun?"

"I love reading. I also like to sing, cook and dance."

"What kind of dance?"

"Highland." I explained. "When I was little my mother thought I should embrace her half of my heritage, so she enrolled me in highland dancing. I loved dancing, I got really good too. My dance teacher, she let me help her with her little ones, so I was at the studio for hours on end teaching. I loved every second of it. It was because of dance I decided that after I graduated I would go to university and become a teacher, maybe open a studio, after school. Last year he made me quit…didn't like that there was happiness in my life…" I mumbled the last part under my breath. Seth's eyebrows furrowed and he looked slightly confused. "But I went to the studio when they were out, to teach. My dance teacher had decided years ago to pay me for all the help I gave her, so the money went towards my education." I smiled wistfully remembering Kathryn's studio.

"Wow sounds like your dance teacher was an amazing woman."

"She was. She was more of a mother to me than mine was." I said before I realized what I had said. My hand flew to my mouth and Seth's eyes widened.

"What do you mean?" I just looked at him, eyes wide. After moments of uncomfortable silence Seth started again with his questions. I mumbled short answers, worried I would reveal too much to this boy. I found him so easy to trust and I knew I was already in love with him, if that was even possible. But I knew he felt the same way.

A/N: Hello friends! That was an interesting chapter to write. Sorry it is so short-I have run out of ideas…for the moment. I want to thank everyone again that reviewed or put me on their alert list. It truly does mean a lot to me.

For all of those who are wondering what Highland dancing is, go on youtube and type in the 'Highland Fling' or the 'Sword Dance' (Highland dancing should work too.) I am a highland dancer and I do teach here in my hometown, so if you have any questions feel free to ask. Have a fantastic day.

Also, I won't be able to post next weekend, sorry. I'll be in Disneyland with my band and choir for their music festival! I'm so excited it isn't funny.

Happy reading! Miss Deirdra
