A/N: Ahhhhhhhh, so, hey guys. ^_^' What's up?
I'm so sorry about the wait. D: I didn't return from my 'weekend' until very early Wednesday morning (like, 2am early) and, I must admit, I was a bit stuck on chapters. But, you should be proud of me! :D I managed to write down four different chapter ideas on my trip, so, hopefully, I don't fall behind. Again. Dx Also, my horse got really sick yesterday, so I had to go take care of him. -_- Its just a lot to worry about. Meh.
And over 100 reviews? Guys, I'm speechless. :D This is a first. Actually, going over 50 reviews is also a first for me but, dang. 100 sounds impressive. ^_^ So, thank you all so much! You rock!
And Anons? D: There were so many of you that I put you guys in here . . . and it made one hella long A/N. So, for the sake of space, I had to take you out. But, I thank you all for your kind words. *bows*
Oh! And a quick shoutout for Jack V, who left me 5 different reviews. :3 Thanks bud!
I hope you enjoy! :D

Why Guys Love Girls
Reason #10:
The way she fishes for compliments even though you both know she's the most beautiful thing on this earth

"Artemis." He knocked on her door softly, "C'mon, everyone's waiting."
He heard a muffled shuffling behind the door and took a small step back as it opened to reveal his girlfriend, her face stormy, her normally meticulous ponytail all askew and her dress rumpled. "Wally . . ."
He smiled, his green eyes soft, "Hey beautiful."
She shook her head, her brown eyes swirling with too many emotions to count; shame, confusion, fear . . . "Don't call me that, we both know I'm not." She left the door open and walked into room and sat at the large mirror, her head bowed. He followed her in and slid the door shut with a soft snick, before making his way over to stand behind her.
He studied her face in the mirror for a minute; her downcast eyes, her slumped shoulders. Without a word, he gently tugged the hair tie out of her hair so that it fell down her back and picked up the brush. He silently brushed out her long blond hair, pretending not to notice the dark eyes watching him in the mirror. When he was done he discarded the hair tie and picked up a black hair band, silently handing over to her and watching as her shaking fingers took it from him and placed it on her head. He grabbed her hand and tugged her off her stool and turned her so she faced him. He quietly straightened and smoothed out her dress, before reached up and cupping her cheek, his thumb rubbing her cheek as they both stared at each other silently.
After a minute he smiled and whispered, "C'mon. You and I both know that you're the most beautiful thing on this earth." He gave a tug on her hand as he stepped out the door, urging her to follow, "Let's go show them."
With a small smile, she stepped over the threshold.
A/N: Short story is . . . short? :/ And mushy. My apologises. Next one is better, I promise. ;]
