*I'm back. I am very thankful to all you reviewers! Hope your enjoying it so far!

Donny stopped on Lauren's porch. He took both her hands in his and kissed her deeply. "You want to go inside?" he asked. Lauren squeezed his hands. "Look, Donny, I know I said that and all, but I'm just kind of," Donny kissed her before she could finish. "It's okay, I understand," he told her. She smiled and put her arms around his neck, she kissed him goodnight. Then she looked into his eyes. "Will you call me tomorrow, or are you going to just forget this happened?" she asked very bluntly. He looked surprised. "No, I'll call. I promise!" he said. Lauren smiled again, "Good." Then she kissed him one last time. She turned and opened the door, he watched her go inside. "Goodnight," she said before closing the door. "Sleep tight," he told her. Then he let her go.

He turned to walk home, happier and more content than he had been in a long a time. He had always thought he would never get married, never have kids, not even a relationship. He wasn't trying to rush things, but maybe it was possible. All the dreams that had once seemed so far off now seemed that much closer.

Lauren closed her front door and watched him walk away. She smiled widely. 'He's my boyfriend,' she thought. Well she didn't know for sure, but she'd ask tomorrow. She walked into her bathroom and turned on the shower. She flopped down onto the trunk holding all her towels and sighed. She loved her life more and more every day. Then she pulled off her clothes and got in.

Kelen opened the front door, Raphael following behind her. As soon as the door had closed he took off his coat and fedora. He pulled Kelen close into his body and started to kiss her. He slowly moved her towards the couch in the living room. Then he gave up, and instead picked her up around the waist. She wrapped her legs around his middle, kissing him all the while. He walked over to the couch and gently laid her back on it. He straddled her legs and kissed her neck. Slowly he stretched his body on top of hers and kissed her lips. He had no idea how far to take this. He decided to test it. He reached down to the bottom of her shirt and started to pull it off. In a second she had grabbed his wrists. "No," she said shaking her head. He sighed, a little disappointed, and said, "Alright." He kissed her again, a little more aggressively since he knew that was as far as she would go. A few minutes passed and he stopped. "Why not?" he asked. He was having a hard time understanding why she had offered to come back here, let him kiss her like this, but wouldn't take the final step. She took a deep breath, trying to remember why. "One, Lauren's home," she said, pointing to where the sound of running water came from, "and two, it's too soon and kinda against my religion." He thought about this. "It is?" he asked her. She nodded. Her religion had kept her together for a while and she would feel guilty if she broke a rule. He shrugged and resumed kissing her. He couldn't help it though. He wanted her out of those clothes. He slowly tugged at her shirt again. Again she snapped at his wrists. "Raph," she said a little sternly, "I said no." He knew she meant it. "Look, maybe we should stop. I don't want to torture you," she told him. Stopping was the last thing he wanted to do, but he agreed. They both sat up and he just held her. She seemed to like being held more than anything. Had no one ever held her before?

He leaned his head against hers. She smelled good. Like a mix of worn out perfume and shampoo. He kissed her neck lightly. "Damn you smell good," he said. She turned her head and their lips met. He leaned her back again. Then they were rudely interrupted. "Hi there," Lauren said standing in a bath robe in the doorway. Kelen shrieked and fell off the couch, taking Raph with her. Lauren burst up laughing. Kelen rose and walked over to her; she had to get on her toes to maintain eye level. She looked at Lauren for a moment. Then a devilish grin swept over her face. "You and Donny have a nice night?" she asked. Lauren's eyes grew large as saucers. "How the heck," Lauren started, but her voice trailed off. "We know, and as long as you don't say anything, neither will we," Kelen said, leaving her no other choice. Lauren rolled her eyes and disappeared upstairs. Raph came over and kissed her cheek. "I gotta go," he said, showing her the time. Her eyes fell. She sighed an okay. He put his jacket and hat back on. He came over and kissed her. She wrapped her arms around his neck. He put his around her waist. He wanted to stay like this forever, but he really had to go. His brother's would be giving him a hard time. He pulled back reluctantly. "Dream of me?" he asked. "I'll see what I can do," she said. He kissed her one last time and left.

Lauren and Kelen sat on the couch watching late night TV. "You actually saw us?" Lauren asked. Kelen nodded and laughed. Lauren slapped her arm, "Shut up!" she demanded. "You and Raph have fun?" she asked her. Kelen nodded again and smiled, her stare on the TV. "If they don't call tomorrow, they're dead," Lauren said. "Um-hm," Kelen agreed.

*There will be one more chapter as to what happens 'tomorrow.' And by the way, from now on… '…..' this means they're thinking so I don't have type "she thought," anymore.
