Together

.

Baby you're all that I want

When you're lyin' here in my arms

I'm findin' it hard to believe

We're in heaven

And love is all that I need

And I found it there in your heart

It isn't too hard to see

We're in heaven

.

Oh, once in your life you find someone

Who will turn your world around

Bring you up when you're feelin' down

Yeah, nothin' could change what you mean to me

Oh, there's lots that I could say

But just hold me now

'Cause our love will light the way

-Bryan Adams

Kitty and Lance walked into his bedroom. They kissed. "Kitty," Lance said. "I just want you to know that I don't expect anything to happen."

She pulled away. "What?"

"Between us."

Now she crossed her arms. "You're totally not helping your case."

"Sexually."

"You don't want to-"

"How do I talk myself into these things?" He paused thinking. "Okay let me try again. I don't want you to think that all I want from you is sex."

"Lance I, like, already knew that." She smiled sitting on his bed. "And, honestly, I'm totally not ready for that. I've never done *that* before."

Lance smiled at how she had blushed and sputtered before finally getting those words out. "So, now what?"

"Well, just because we can't, you know, doesn't mean we can't-" she kissed him softly, "do that."

"Very true." He stretched out on his bed. She smiled going to his CD player and hitting play. She then went to his bed stretching out beside him. He kissed her moving over her for better access to her lips. He felt her stiffen and pulled away. "Relax, Kitten. I know the rule."

"I know; I've just never had a really serious relationship before." She looked down shyly. "You're the first guy that I've ever kissed."

"Really?"

"Then again, I guess you've had a lot of girls."

"I'm sure that you don't want to hear about that." She just stared at him. "Okay, well, I used to date a lot but only two types of girls were interested in me: 'bad girls' for one. They never really appealed to me, they didn't take care if themselves; most of them were on drugs or something. Then there were the rich girls looking for a thrill. I dated a few of them but, well, it was empty." He kissed her again.

"Hey, will you stay awhile

My smile will not mislead you

`Cause I've been alone

My faith turned to stone

Still there's something in you that I believe in"

.

She sighed happily, returning his kiss. He pulled away smiling. "This is amazing," he whispered.

"What?" she asked with her own smile.

"We're actually together." He kissed her forehead. "We can finally be together, no one against us." He kissed her slowly before moving beside her. She smiled laying her head on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her holding her close. "Never in a million years did I think cuddling could feel so good."

She grinned. "Never in a million years did I think that Lance Alvers would cuddle."

"Don't let it get out, I have a rep to protect."

She giggled. "Yes, sir!"

He smiled and kissed her softly. "Get some sleep, Kitten. It's late." She sighed happily and closed her eyes beginning to fall asleep in his arms.
