Chapter 15

Meg (entering Ben's house): Ben? Are you home?

Ben (from the couch): Right here.

Meg: Hi.

Ben: Hi DOROTHY.

Meg (sitting next to him): It's amazing... I don't even know what to do.

Ben: Well, I do.

Ben leans forward to Meg and kisses her.

Like the first time, she is a little scared, but when felt the connection, she returns the kiss. They continue with doing that for some minutes, until Meg broke the kiss.

Meg: Don't get me wrong Ben, but… I don't even know you. And I'm going back to Kansas after Vanessa's wedding…

Ben: I know what you mean, but… well, I don't know how to say this…

Meg: Say what?

Ben: I fell in love with you, Meg. I fell in love with you over the Internet, and knowing you in the real life, just made me love you even more…

Meg: Oh, Ben. That's so sweet, but we have to be realistic.

Ben: I know, I know… But I can't… I finally met you, Meg. It's like a dream.

Meg: Yeah, it sure is…

Ben: So, what do you say? Shouldn't we be use the time we have together? Instead of wasting it?

Meg: I suppose so…

Ben: Then what do you say? Would you like to have dinner with me tonight?

Meg (trying to hide her excitement, not to scare him off): Are you asking me out?

Ben: I guess.

Meg (smiling): Then yes, I will go out with you. Do you have any suggestions where we should eat? I'm new in town, so I have no idea where.

Ben: Well, there's a great restaurant named The Grenadines.

Meg: That sounds fine. What time?

Ben: Is seven okay?

Meg: Yes, that would be perfect. That gives me an hour to freshen up.

Ben: See you.

Meg: I can't really not, since I live here.

Ben: Guess not.

They share a quick kiss, and Meg hurries upstairs.
