CHAPTER: 7- The sunshine drifts away and the storm awakens

I could feel the sunlight peircing through my dreams. My eyes fluttered open slowly but I wasn't the slightest bit amused by the staring eyes.

"Sean," I said in a groggy voice.

"You look so adorable when you're asleep."

"How about when I'm awake?" I rubbed my eyes and smiled.

"You look beautiful."

I gave him a sly smile before jumping out of bed and running into the bathroom. I closed the door behind me and began to search through his drawers for an unused toothbrush. He opened the door and kicked up the toilet seat. He dropped his boxers and began to take a piss.

"Woah. I really don't need to see that," I said looking back into the mirror.

"Then don't look." He flushed and pulled his boxers back up, reaching over me for his toothbrush.

"You could of washed your hands."

"I know." He spit into the sink and I leaned down to spit at the same time so we bumped heads.

"OW," we moaned in unison.

"We need to work this out if you plan on dropping in like this, Sweetcheeks."

I nodded my head and we finished what we were doing before we headed back into the bedroom. Sean held my hand as he layed down and I sat next to him indian style.

"You know we have school right now," Seann said matter of factlly.

"What time is it exactly?"

"Umm...like 10 something."

"Great. Well its whatever no big deal."

"Hey I don't want you to start slackin' cause of me."

"I'm not, I just need a break."

"From what?"

"All the pressure!!" My head fell ontop of the pillow as I rolled over so I wasnt facing him. I could feel the tears building up in my eyes.

"Ruthie." He embraced me in his arms. "Its okay. I know that right now being labeled as a preacher kid sucks but you can't let it get to you. I screwed up my life because I felt like I didn't need anyone to make a name for me and that I could make one for myself. I thought right but acted on it in the wrong way."

"Why do you sleep with so many girls, "I asked turning over to look at him. My eyes felt heavy again like I haven't even slept.

"I don't know. But when I'm with you...damn when I'm with you I don't have to live up to that stupid label of being a trouble-making-sex loving- hottie that everyone sees me as. I can just be me. I don't have to act a certain way to get you to sleep with me, not that I'm trying to get you to sleep with me."

"Would you ever want to..do IT again like with me?"

"Are you insane? Of course I would and from what I can tell last night, you grew up quite well." I shoved him so I was laying ontop of him staring into his eyes.

~*FLASHBACK*~

LAST NIGHT

His tongue and his lips practically explored every part of me that wasn't covered up. His hands did the same. I tugged at his hair to bring his lips back up to mine. He had a slight mustache, which blended in with his skin tone. We broke out of the kiss for a second as he pulled off my shirt. He already got my pants off with me barely noticing. I unbuckled his belt and he kicked his pants to the floor. I practically tore off his shirt the second we hit the bed. Sean and I started making out again until he broke out of the kiss for air.

"We're not gonna...are we?"

"Nah uh," I said shaking my head breathlessly.

"Good."

I was about to comment on his remark but he already brung our lips back into making out so I didn't want to ruin the moment.

~*END of FLASHBACK*~

He tucked my brown curls behind my ear as he kissed my lips tenderly.

"Ruthie can I tell you something?"

"Yeah. Go ahead." I twirled his hair trying to avoid his eyes cause it felt like this was getting serious.

"First, can you really look at me?"

I looked into his eyes, tracing over the significant outlines of his eye color.

"Ruthie, I never thought I would get the chance to say this to you. I never thought I would have the guts to say this to you nor did I ever think you would even give me the chance."

"Yeah?"

"I love you Ruthie Camden. I really honestly do."

I didn't have to think about it. I knew I always loved him. "I love you too Sean Stamos and I want to be with you."

"I want to be with you too, Sweetcheeks but your family. After that incident with Matt and you running away, I don't think they'll ever let me near you. Including the fact that we slept with each other two years ago. Wow you run away alot."

"Yeah I guess. I should definately talk with my parents but I want you there."

"Maybe you should talk to them alone first and then we'll all talk together."

"I can't talk to them alone. I'm going to say the wrong thing I just know it."

"Why would it make a difference with me there.?

"I don't know it just will."

"Fine I'll go. But what better time than the present to confront them."

"Really?"

"Yup. Lets go."

I rolled my eyes. "I love you."

"I love you too." He kissed me as we began to get dressed.


Sean and I walked in through the back door and surprisingly the kitchen was empty. Sean took a seat and began to flip through a newspaper that was on the counter. I looked through the fridge and found nothing appealing so I just let out a sigh and decided to settle for some cereal. I poured me some Frosted Flakes and Fruit Loops into one bowl with some milk and took a seat next to Sean, grabbing two spoons. We began to eat our breakfast while looking at the different ads for a job. We finished and I put the dishes into the sink. I sat back down and that's when the door opened and Lucy and Kevin walked in. They were obviously talking about me.

"Ruthie! Where have you been? We've been looking everywhere," Lucy exclaimed. "And you," she said pointing at Sean. "Why are you here? You..you...bad influence!" She pinched his arm.

"Ow!" Sean jumped from his seat and hid behind me. "Your sister is mean."

"Lucy calm down. Ruthie, where were you exactly and what were you doing," Kevin asked calmly.

"I was at Sean's apartment. I just slept there all night and then came here. That's all. And Kucy don't pinch Sean, he's sensitive."

"I am," Sean asked confused. I elbowed him to shut up.

"I think we have to talk. Individually. Sean living room."

Sean rubbed his arm and did what he was told...
