I am so sorry it's been so long since I updated. I have been in Nauvoo with no television, no internet, nothing!

This is a really really short chapter. But, I didn't really feel like I should go any further with it. So, please forgive me. I hope you still like it.

From now on, I'm making a deal with you guys. I will update as soon as I get TEN reviews. Got it? Can you do it?

Enjoy!


We all walked in the door and plopped down in the living room. There was a lot of talking and laughing which I did not participate in. After a few minutes, I stood up, announcing that I was going for a walk. Paul leapt up.

"I'll come with you." He grabbed his jacket. I smiled as we both walked out onto the beach.

For a while, there was silence between us. The sun was setting and it reflected off the water, making it dance in different shades of pink and orange. I decided it just wouldn't do to ignore what and happened earlier that evening. I looked up at him and spoke quietly.

"Listen...eh...tonight, when we were dancing..." He cut me off.

"Oh...yeah...that..." He stopped walking and turned to me. I did the same and opened my mouth to speak again, but he put his finger to my lips.

"We never got to finish..." He whispered as he pulled me to him and pressed his lips with mine.

After a moment, we broke apart. I stared up at him as he caressed my cheek with his thumb. I sighed and leaned into his chest and he wrapped his arms tightly around me. We stood like that for a while until Paul spoke softly.

"We should probably be headed back, or the others will wonder..." I nodded and we laced our fingers together as we began to walk back.

"You know," He started. "I meant what I said. About blue being my favorite color because of your eyes, I mean."

"Aw, you're so sweet." I told him. "Your eyes are...complicated..."

He blinked a couple of times. "Uh..."

I laughed. "No, I mean, I can't even tell what color they are! There's like, a ring of a reddish color, and then a ring of brown, and of green, and then one of blue! They're so pretty and I love them...but they're complicated!"

He nodded slowly. "Okay...uh...thanks?" Then he smiled and put his arm around my waist, pulling me closer to him. This was the happiest I'd been in a long time.

"So...Paul?" I said slowly. "What does this make us? Where do we stand now?"

"Oh! Right!" He cleared his throat and spoke in the kind of accent you would expect out of a character in Sense and Sensibility. "Well, Meghan Anderson of the future, I would be honored, to have you as my girlfriend. If you would have me, that is."

I smiled at him and played along. "I would be delighted Sir." I giggled and spoke in my normal voice. "But only if you stop speaking in that corny accent!"

He pouted at me. "I thought birds loved British accents!"

I burst out laughing. "Oh, I do! Probably even more than most other girls you'll meet. But you already have a British accent! And I like that one better than any others!"

He grinned and kissed me. "Well that's a good thing then!"

I smiled at him. We'd gotten back to the house by now. I sighed. "Great..." Paul gave me a funny look.

"What's the matter?"

"Oh, it's just John, George, and Rings have been teasing me to no end about liking you. I can only imagine what they're going to say now..."

Paul laughed. "They've been giving me a hard time too!"

We walked in the door, holding hands and giggling like schoolchildren. Everyone looked up as we came in and Cyn smiled at me triumphantly. The guys jumped up.

"FINALLY!" They all shouted, and ran to give us one of the biggest hugs I've ever had in my life. I wiggled out of it.

"What do you mean 'finally'? It's only been a few days!"

John rolled his eyes. "Yeah, but it seems like so much longer! What, with you two constantly flirting and all that! It was so obvious you liked each other! We were getting so annoyed because you wouldn't just get on with it!"

Paul was raising his eyebrows. "Okay then Lennon..."

"Whatever floats your boat." I added, giggling. John poked me in the stomach.

"Paul, your bird is being rude. I think it's time she went to bed! Naughty naughty! Tsk tsk!"

Paul grabbed my hand. "Fine! Come 'ed Meghan, let's leave these guys in their misery!" I laughed and followed him to our bedroom.


So yeah, like I said, super short, right?
