Hey guys I'm really sorry it took so long to update. I know some of you have been waiting for backgrounds for Kim and Shey so here they are. It was hard for me to combine the background with what I've already written since I go chapter by chapter without thinking too far ahead to where I'm going with my story. Hope you guys like the chapter. Please read and review!

Chapter 10- Our Past

I lay there looking at Kim's beautiful face as she sleeps. I wrap my arms around her waist and hold her close to me. I bury my face into her neck and breathe in the scent of lavender. She begins to move and slowly take my hands off her waist. She whimpers as my hands leave her sides and I chuckle. I kiss her forehead and her eyes flutter open.

"Hey sleepy head" I mutter. She giggles and runs at her eyes.

"Hi." she smiles as he props herself up with one elbow. I take out my phone and look at the time. It's about 1:00 now.

"I've been thinking." I say looking down shyly.

"what is it?" she asks curiously. I look at her with a half sided grin.

"would you maybe wanna go out for dinner with me tonight?" I say and bite my lip nervously waiting for a response. She smiles and shakes her head.

"no silly I wanna stay home by myself while you go eat." she answers back sarcastically. We both laugh. She looks at me seriously now. "so is this a date?" biting her lip as she asks I can feel a blush spread across my face.

"well...I would like it to be." I say. She rolls her eyes.

"can I have a better answer than that?" she counters back. I inwardly groan, why does this need to be so hard?

"yes Kim, it's a date." I finally say defeatedly. "so what do you want to do for the rest of the day?" she thinks for a moment.

"we can keep watching movies?" she asks. I nod. "yay! What movies next?" she asks like a child. I chuckle at how cute she is.

"I have the new spiderman movie up in my room." I say after thinking for a moment. Kim doesn't hesitate before she jumps off the couch and drags me up the stairs. She jumps on the bed and I rummage through my movies. Finally finding it I put it into the DVD player and hit play. I walk over to the bed and sit on my side next to Kim. As the movie starts Kim wraps her arms around my waist and leans her head on my shoulder. I can't help but chuckle and wrap my arms around her. The movie went on for half an hour in silence. Finally Kim says something.

"Shey?" she says looking up.

"yeah?" I ask. She looks at me for a moment, thinking before she asks.

"what was your life like before this? What were you like?" she mutters the questions quietly. I raise my eyebrow. Why does she want to know?

"well, how much do you want to know?" I ask. I could write a book about all the stuff in my life, why don't I do it? Because it would take up way too much of my time.

"everything, start from the beginning." oh great I think, story time.

"how about you first." I counter. She pouts but finally caves in.

"I grew up in a very catholic house." she begins. "it was just me until I was six, then my twin brothers were born. My parents took us to church every Sunday. I never really got into the whole thing, even as a kid it was too hard for me to believe in something like God. I played a few sports in elementary and middle school, most of my friends were guys. When I got to high school my parents put their foot down; no more sports, they made me join the cheerleading squad and all my friends became girls. Freshman year, there was this girl on the squad, she was different from the other girls. She was kinda shy but when I got her to talk to me I found out she was really nice." she takes a deep breath and sighs. "she was my first real crush. I never really focused on stuff like that before because of school and sports. My parents were strict with grades so I studied hard threw middle school. High school classes were easy for me, I finally had time to think about other stuff, like the girl on the cheerleading squad... I was her only friend on the squad, I wasn't close to other girls on the squad but they told me stuff, like how she was bi." by now I was staring at her and for some reason really interested in what she has to say. "one day I was with her at her house. We told each other everything, so I didn't think it was weird when I asked how she knew she was bi. She said that one day in the middle school locker room she caught herself watching a girl change. She asked me if I thought I was bi and I kissed her. We dated all threw out high-school. Each year i found we grew more and more distant. The relationship was fine and we were always good to each other but for some reason we didn't click right. It seemed we were still feeling like friends. Halfway threw senior year her family moved away and shes going to college where they are now. I told my parents about her when she moved away, being as extremely religious as they were, they kicked me out of the house right after graduation. I had been living in a hotel for almost a year when I found your ad." she had been looking down and finally looks up at me. "that's my story... Now it's your turn." she had a sad smile on her face and I already regret asking her to tell me about her past. I don't feel like telling her about mine, it's not exactly the best thing. She's looking at me expectantly now and I sigh as I prepare to tell her.

"I was grown and raised halfway across the country. I grew up in a descent house with both my parents. I use to be a really nice kid, I had a lot of friends. During eighth grade my

parents got a divorce, my dad got custody of me and we moved here. My first two years in high school I was too absorbed with myself to pay attention to anyone else. I would zone out during classes and I didn't socialize. My father became a thief as a side job. He worked, came home, then robbed a store or two." Kim's eyes were wide. I take a breath and brace myself for what I've been dreading talking about. "Junior year I met a girl in one of my classes. She was smart and beautiful. By then i had long knew i liked girls, it was a feeling i always had. I admired her from a distance for a long time before I finally got up the courage to talk to her. I had herd classmates talking about her. She liked girls, it was almost obvious in the way she talked to them. She charmed me instantly. After a week of knowing her we started hanging out after school...that's when the trouble started. It started with holding hands, kissing, stuff I thought was just simple shows of affection. She told me she really liked me and being as dumbstruck with her as I was I believed her without question. One night, she asked me to try something new with her. We were making out on her couch when she pinned me down and wouldn't let me move." I saw gears turning in Kim's head and

I knew she was thinking about us earlier. I might as well continue. "I told her to let me up but she didn't. In the end I had to kick her so she'd get off me. As I was getting my stuff she laughed and said that she never cared about me; that she would move on to the next girl that would easily go for her, and there were many. After that I didn't really interact with anyone at school. I was a hopeless romantic in a place where everyone was looking for a no-strings-attached kind of relationship..." a few seconds later she jumps into my arms and hugs me. She finally pulls away and I feel that I should finish what I was saying. "I got a job junior year, and graduated two years ago. I never went to college 'cause I didn't plan on going into a big job or anything. I just wanted to live here until I found someone and settled down." taking a deep breath I look at Kim. She looked speechless. I hadn't meant to say as much as I did.

"Shey...is that what you were talking about when you said you thought I was different? You meant that girl?" she asks with sad eyes and I nod slightly.

"I believe in a relationship where you hold hands and cuddle, listen to music and watch movies; you sleep in each others arms just so you can be near the other...is that so wrong?" I ask as my eyes begin to water. Kim shakes her head and puts a hand to my face.

"there's nothing wrong with that. It's perfect actually, it's the same thing I want." she says. I smile and look at the tv to see credits playing. We missed the movie, again. I chuckle. Oh well.

"it's almost time to get ready for our date." I chuckle. She smiles and we both get up to start getting ready. It's about 4 o'clock now. We have an hour to get ready before we leave. We have a problem...what the hell am I going to where?!
