-OnlyVampiresCanLoveYouForever: Thank you for telling me that you like my story.

-Greendoggie: I still havn't all quite figured everything about Clea's visions… but don't worry I'll think of something unbelievable to explain her visions.

After the clear explanation and warning which was given by Caleb; Clea, Patrick, Tobias and Riley stayed as far away from Connor as they could. Two weeks later Patrick took courage in his own hands and asked Rosie out on a date and she obviously said yes.

Since the autumn was aprroaching quickly and it got a little colder in Ipswich, Pat borrowed Clea's car for his date with Rosie. Since it was their first date, Patrick wanted it to be perfect. He decided to take her ice skating in an inside rink then to supper.

« Come on Rosie, it's easy I promise. » Patrick said trying his hardest to reasure Rosie while he extanded his hand to her.

« Maybe easy for you, you know how to skate! » Rosie exclaimed

« Come on you can't be that bad. » Patrick answered as he skated in a circle

« Let's put it this way… Bambi is more elegant than I am. »

« Please Rosie, I'll stay by your side and I won't let you fall I promise. » Patrick promised with his most sincere and sweetest look on his face

« Fine but don't say I didn't warn you. » Rosie answered as she took his hand in hers.

Patrick helped Rosie get on the ice while he had his left arm over her shoulder and his right hand holding on to hers… well it was Rosie gripping onto his hand really. They both did nice slow strokes of their skates to move forward.

« See it's not that bad… and you are way better than Bambi. » Patrick said softly into Rosie's ear.

« I think I'm getting the hang of it. » Rosie answered as she let go of Patrick's hand and he took his arm of her shoulders.

Rosie was actually starting to like the feeling of being on the ice, but she then changed her mind when she skated a bit faster and she was losing her balance. She felt herself fall backward's as she swooshed her arms in wild windmill. Swooshing her arms couldn't save her from falling as she fell from behind luckily for Rosie pat was right behind her.

He was able to catch Rosie in his arms but with the extra weight and the slidding of the blades of their skates Pat fell down on the ice. He fell down hard which caused Rosie to sqeal out loud and landed on his butt with Rosie on top of him.

« See Rosie… I told you I wouldn't let you fall. » Patrick said trying to lighten the mood from the embarrasing moment.

They both slowly got up and left the ice so they could eat supper. Pat took Rosie to a sushi place where he had the hardest time with the chop sticks. Rosie couldn't help but smile as she watched him struggle with his food.

« Pat this is why humans invented forks. » Rosie answered as she handed him a fork.

« How on earth are you suppose to use chop sticks… how do you do it so well? » Patrick asked

« I've been eating with chop sticks since I was 6, I got 11 years of mastering under my belt. » Rosie explained proudly.

After supper Rosie paid for desert alas it was only hot chocolate since the ice cream place closed after the summer. When they got back to the dorms they both stopped infront of Rosie's door.

« Well this is my door. » she said softly as she leaned up against it

« I had fun even through the embarassing moments. » Pat replied

« Thanks for tonight Pat. » Rosie thanked as she hugged Patrick

« Your welcome Rosie. » Patrick whispered in her ear.

They stayed in the same position for a few seconds later when Rosie looked up at Patrick and looked deeply in her eyes she noticed that he was looking deeply in hers as well.

Patrick leaned his face forward and gave Rosie a kiss on her lips. This was the first date kiss that felt inocent and filled with mystery and wonder. Pat and Rosie could both taste the hot chocolate on their lips. The kiss lasted 10 seconds but it felt like eternity and Rosie could sware that she felt fluffy squirels tails swishing around in her stomach. Patrick could feel an electric sting of connection between the two.

Patrick broke the kiss as they both neede to breath at some point.

« Good night Rosie. »

« Good night Patrick. »

They both went to their dorms, Rosie was feeling as she was floating on clouds and patrick was feeling happy.
