Sorry to everyone about the short chapters... I'm just dividing my chapters the way that Mary Downing Hahn had in her book.

When I woke up, I lay still. Was it a dream? Did I have a date with Sesshomaru Tenseiga (A/N: changed his last name.) today? It couldn't be, Talking in the library about poetry, riding in the BMW, eating, well sort of, at WacDonalds? Did it happen the way I remember?

Yes. Last night, Sess showed me the loney person hiding in the depths of those amber eyes. He had apologized for hurting me, he had held my hand, he had asked me to be his friend – he had kissed me. Slowly I reached for my lips. Cautiously, I touched them so I wouldn't erase any of the evidence of what happened.

The real world slowly registered into my mind. It was Sunday morning, I could smell the coffee brewing, and mom laughing, AND an unfamiliar masculine voice. Who had mom brought home? I wasn't in the mood to hold a decent and polite conversation with some one I don't know. All I wanted to think about was Sesshomaru. I had plans to make, conversations to rehearse.

Unfortunately I could hear my mom enter my bed room and perch herself on the edge of my bed. Slightly shaking me, "Riri? (Ree-ree) are you awake?"

"Who's in the kitchen?"

"Just some one I want you to meet, his name is Alex Bulton, the one Yuka set me up with, and this time she was right. He was the nicest guy ever." Sigh, every man mom meets is the "nicest guy she's ever met" that is until they leave her crying by the telephone.

"Did he spend the night?"

"Of course not, I just met him."

I studied her face. She were not hints to indicate she was lying.

"You won't believe this, but last night we were talking about breakfast and I mentioned that we usually have bagels and coffee for breakfast, so he offered to make us oatmeal the old fashioned way.

"Great you're dating a nutrition nut."

"That reminds me, he's a vegetarian. I told him we were too. I hid all the evidence and I don't smoke. So… take a shower and wear something nice. Breakfast will be ready in 20 minutes.

As I was showering, I prayed for him to be nice and not break her heart. Please don't let her fall so easily; please don't let me fall so easily.

After dressing nicely, I walked into the kitchen. Maybe he'd stick around long enough to learn my name. Rin. Not Ren, not Rini, not Rei.

I sat myself and saw my mom reading the newspaper. Probably about accidents, rapes, and murders. She believed that reading them would give you knowledge of where to go and what places to avoid. Being a woman in this world wasn't the safest thing.

When he noticed me, he came to greet me. "Hi, Rin." He got immediate points for getting my name right on the first try. I could see he was middle aged, and was balding just a bit on top.

All through breakfast, we listened to the Beatles. I watched them sing to each other. Hearing the phone ring, I got up to get it, hoping it was Sesshomaru.

His voice sounded different. "Do you still want to go to the science center?"

Nodding, but then remembering he couldn't see me, I quickly said, "Yes, if you still do."

"Did you think I'd change my mind over night? That sounded more like the Sess I knew. I'll be right over.

I told my mom I was going to the science center with a friend from English.

"When will you be back."

"Don't know. Around six. I'm going to meet him out front."

Sesshomaru drove up in a station wagon, the kind where you see them filled with kids every day. "Sorry for the locker room smell. Mom carpools my brother's soccer team.

I didn't care if I was in a cement truck. If it was a vehicle that had Sesshomaru driving and me beside him I would be happy.

"So… I was planning on picking you up at your door so your mom could see what kinda person is whisking her daughter away."

"She trusts my judgement." It never occurred to me that he would want to meet my mom. I'm sure Sango never introduced boyfriends to her mom.

"Oh well, maybe next time." Hitting the gas, and driving the station wagon like a race car, we were on our way to the science center.

After a while we were talking like old friends again. Keeping to safe subjects; nothing about the past.

When we got there I could hear the roaring of the sea and he began to ramble on about his favorite attractions, like the IMAX theatre. At the last stretch, be called out, "Race you to there!" Being the top athlete, he was half a block away in no time… turning around to laugh and encourage me he pretended to trip. "Awe, you win!"

Acting like a little kid he spread his arms out, he ran out and pretended to fly. Then he turned to me and said, your turn. Feeling embarrassed I shook my head and turn to see two elderly women shaking their heads in disapproval.

Turning to see what I was looking at he whispered into my ear, "Let's give them a real thrill, and kissed me fully on the lips. It took me only a few seconds to respond. His lips were so warm and soft.

Thanks Please R/R
