Author's Note: Okay so I've been thinking that I might change the rating of this story because I'm not too sure if I want to put any sexual parts in yet. I'm still trying to decide.

Disclaimer: I still own nothing but my vivid imagination and that crap load of homework I still need to finish.

Got This Feeling: Part 2

There was a comfortable silence in the car as Marissa and her dad made their way home. David was driving and Marissa was staring dreamily out the window.

Marissa was playing over and over in her mind the moment Alex's lips had connected with hers. She closed her eyes and tried recapturing the moment. The feel of Alex holding her gently, the wind softly blowing all around them, and the smoothness of Alex's cheek against her hand. She allowed herself a small sigh and snuggled deeper into the passenger seat.

David would glance over in Marissa's direction every so often. When he heard her sigh his curiosity finally got the better of him. "Everything okay?" he asked quietly, but just loud enough for her to hear him.

Marissa opened her eyes and looked in his direction. She smiled gently and paused a moment as if thinking. "Today has just been a big surprise for me I guess."

"What do you mean?" he asked, looking slightly concerned.

"I've just learned a lot of things about myself and other people that I would never have thought of before."

"Meaning…..you and Alex?"

She looked down at her hands in her lap. "Yeah."

David looked over at her and smiled reaching for her hand and gripping it tightly. Marissa looked up and returned the smile. "New things can be scary the first time, but if it's what your heart really wants don't let fear get in the way." He said, giving her hand a squeeze. "I just want you to be happy, okay pumpkin?"

"Thanks daddy." She said, before unbuckling her seatbelt and giving him a hug.

"Marissa……wait." David said, beginning to laugh as he tried to keep the car from swerving.

Marissa quickly sat back both laughing as all the cars in their direct vicinity tried to get their distance.

A few minutes later David pulled up in front of the house, unbuckled his seatbelt and pulled Marissa into a tight hug.

"I love you." she said.

"I love you too sweetie." He said, giving her a quick squeeze before letting her go and getting out of the car.

Marissa got out and they both made their way up to the porch. Marissa caught a glance of Alex's bedroom light going out and smiled to herself before following her dad into the house and closing the door behind her. She made her way up to her room and got ready for bed. She had just slipped under her covers when she heard her phone vibrating on the nightstand. It was a text message.

Don't fantasize about me too much. ~A~

Marissa smiled and sent a reply.

Maybe if you shrunk that big head of yours I could fit you in my fantasies. ~M~

She heard the sound of Alex's phone going off next door and a few seconds later a loud outburst of laughter. She giggled to herself.

Her phone vibrated again and she realized Alex was calling her. She smiled and answered.

"Hey."

"So you think I have a big head huh?" Alex asked.

Marissa laughed, "No only when you talk about yourself which is pretty much all the time." She laughed louder.

"Harr Harr…..you've got jokes." Alex said.

"Yeah, I know….I'm just that good." Marissa said.

"Oh….now who has the big head." Alex asked.

"Still you." Marissa said, laughing into the phone.

"So….school's tomorrow." Alex said, suddenly becoming serious.

"Yeah." Marissa said quietly.

They were both thinking about everything that had happened in the last couple of hours and were nervous about school the next day.

"Meet you by your locker?" Alex asked.

"Okay." Marissa said.

"Okay, see you there."

"Yeah."

"Goodnight Marissa."

"Goodnight Alex."

They both pressed end and looked up at their ceilings before letting out a sigh.

Marissa smiled to herself before turning over and turning out her light and pulling her blankets closer.

Alex watched Marissa's light go out before making herself more comfortable. As she drifted off she thought to herself, tomorrow is going to be a great day.
