AN: Well, peeps, next chapter's going to be the last one! Woo hoo!

Chapter 37

Meanwhile, Jeff stormed through the hall when Maria caught up with him. "Jeff, hold on!" she cried.

"What, Maria, what could you possibly want now? You got another pet you want to keep?" he demanded, whipping around.

"Jeff." she said, shocked that he was talking to her this way.

"Do you know how embarrassing that scene in there was?" he asked. "What the hell were you thinking, bringing in a snake?"

"I felt bad for it, so-"

"Maria, this has got to end! Now, I've been too nice lately and look where that's gotten us. I want these pets sent away, and I don't want to hear any more excuses as to why it's the right thing to do to keep them!" he imitated.

"But-"

"I'm not finished! Look, you can put on the waterworks as long as you want to, but it's not gonna change my mind anymore!" he continued.

"Jeff-"

"ZIP IT!" he cried, while her eyes went wide. "Now after tonight, I want that hamster, the gerbil, the guinea pig, the squirrel, the rabbit, the puppy, the cat, and ESPECIALLY that snake OUTTA here!" he cried. "Do you understand me?" he demanded, tightly gripping her arms.

Instead of being terrified, though, this turned her on and she replied, "Oh, Jeff..." before she pressed her lips against his in an intensely passionate kiss. He broke away, surprised, while she continued, "I love it when you talk so fierce like that. Take me, Jeff."

As a reply, he gazed at her before he forcefully pressed her body against his, wrapped her leg around his waist, and led her into their bedroom while she cried, "Oh, baby, dominate me!" before they slammed the door behind them. Later, after their passionate lovemaking, Maria turned to her side and hugged her pillow while Jeff lay on his back, looking towards the window. "I'm still upset with you." he announced.

"Ok." she replied, hiding a smile.

Meanwhile, Eve was in hers and Matt's room, wearing her maroon colored lingerie nightie, while straightening up the place.

Matt entered the place and looked shocked to see Eve dressed the way she was. "...Eve..." he gasped.

She turned around. "Oh, hi." she replied.

"Wow, you-you look amazing." he replied.

"Well, I'm taking this thing back tomorrow, so I just wanted to wear it for the first and last time." she replied.

"Why would you want to take it back?" he asked.

She looked at him. "Cause there's no reason in me keeping it."

"But, I want you to keep it." he replied.

"What?" she asked, surprised.

"Eve, listen. I've been thinking about what you said and you're right. We haven't…you know, yet and we've been going out for over two years." he continued.

"Why, Matt? Am I like, not appealing enough for you to go to the next level with or something?" she asked.

"No! That's not it at all." he replied, taking her hands. "You're beyond beautiful to me, you look incredible right now!"

"So how come whenever I bring up the topic, you've always changed the subject?" she asked.

"Honestly, I dunno. I didn't think you really wanted this that much." he replied.

She wrapped her arms around his neck. "I do, Matt, I really do."

"I want this too, Eve. This night's gonna be special for the both of us, and I'm damn sure gonna make up for lost time." he replied.

She smiled. "I love you."

"I love you." he smiled back, before they wrapped themselves in a passionate kiss and lowered themselves on the bed.
