A/N: For all those who are still reading this,I think I did good on that last chapter. ;-)

*****************************************************************************************

After a long time of just looking at Jonathan,as if studying him,Amber got up and smiled some to him before she left.She sighed some to herself,it was a happy sigh.She soon stopped dead in her tracks,but soon kept going,she normally does that sigh when she's in love.She did it all the time with Scott.

"Hey,where is Scott anyways?He should have been out looking for me by now.."

She said to herself as she looked around.As if on cue,a tall,filled-out man came riding up the camp.He sort of looked like Rick.

"There's my Ambi!"

The Scott shouted,happily as he jumped from his horse and ran and picked her up in his arms.

"God.I was so worried about you."

Scott whispered to her,she smiled at this,but then went as if her heart had sank again.She felt eyes on her.She looked to Jonathan's tent and there he was,standing in the opening and looking at her.That sad,hurt,puppy dog face.She truly then felt her heart sink.Scott didn't seem to care,even if he had seen him.

"Who was that nerd?"

Why do the jock types always call lanky men geeks & nerds?! Jonathan is not a geek!,She thought to herself as she looked to his tent. Rick and Evy had seen it too.

Oh no,not again. ,Evy thought as she looked to his tent,waiting for him to come busting out and storming out into the desert again.Amber jumped from Scott's arms and headed towards his tent.

"Hey,baby,where you going?"

Came from Scott's slyly smiling mouth.She acted like she didn't hear him.Scott had been obsessed with her since they had met.Amer put her shoulder-length,dark brown hair up into a pony-tail,she looked as if she was getting ready to get into a fight.she stormed into his tent and she was a bit taken back by the sight before her.Jonathan stood before her,his body was very tense,his hands on his hips,and a disgusted/angry scowl played on his lips.She didn't know if she should run or not.

"Um,can I explain myself first?"

She asked as she smiled some.He just scoffed and picked up his knife.

"I won't be back this time,maybe I'll just have to fall in love with a jackle or something."

He said,very pissed off as he walked out of his tent.she turned to him,getting pissed herself.she soon pounced on him,he landed face first into the sand,she was straddling him.

"You are not going back into that desert!"

She said to make sure everyone in the camp heard it.

"Yes I am! Go on! Go back to Mr.Perfect over there! He's not a ugly bugger like me!"

She felt her heart slip away.Jonathan was in love with her,it had just hit her,and it hit her hard.She soon snapped out of her gaze as he got out from under her and started to walk off again.Brushing the sand out of his hair and off of his bare upper torso.She let out a growl and jumped in front of him.

"Listen to me." he started to brush past her again,but she pounced on him again.she was now looking down to him,straddling his waist.A look of total confusion on his face.

"What are you doing?"

He asked as his voice went a bit high.He or the part of himself below her was starting to take notice of her straddling motions.

"I'm stopping you from killing yourself out there!"

She said as she looked down to him.He couldn't take it anymore,those blue-green eyes,those perfect lips,her body(how could you forget that?),and that spunk of her's. In one swift motion he reached up and grabbed his neck and pulled her down for a soft kiss.She melted into him and let him take control of the kiss.He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer to him as his tongue started to explore every inche of her mouth.Everyone stared at them in total shock.Evy felt a warm,fuzzy feeling as she looked at them and smiled.Rick almost felt the samething as Evy.Alex was smiling widely,he knew he uncle needed to get the girl this time.And as for Scott,he wasn't a happy camper at all.That 'geek' as he so called put it,was making his girl melt for him! He didn't think that was right!Before Rick could see Scott,he had grabbed Amber away from Jonathan after the kiss broke.The worst part about it was he grabbed her by her hair and pulled her upright. She screamed loudly at this. Evy just had one thought in her head.She knew Jonathan would kill Scott if he got his hands on him.

"Leave her alone!"

Jonathan demanded.Amber turned to look at him with tears in her eyes.That made Jonathan's blood boil even more. Rick knew he wasn't as big as Scott,but Rick betted on Jonathan to win.Rick knew,never to piss him off,because Rick knew that Jonathan could take care of his own business if he cared enough.He it looked like he certainly cared for Amber.Scott turned to Jonathan and just laughed,evilly.

"Why should I put her down for you?"

He asked still smiling slyly.Time seemed to have stopped at that moment in time.
