This one is short, but I felt I needed to give you guys something, it's
been to long. So read and enjoy, there's more to come!
Lilmisswriter: I appreciate your honesty, but I am going to ask you for something more. Tell me in your next review why you don't want to see that happen. I am interested in your reasoning. A good counter argument can always change my mind, and I think my ending wouldn't be comprised without that scenario if you can tell me why it shouldn't be there. I promise I am not trying to me mean; I honestly want your insight.
Blonde-Angel- So sorry about the wrong name thing, it was a total accident. I try my best to keep the characters pretty true to themselves, with the exception of maybe only using one side of their character (as with Eric). Anyway, glad you liked it, and feel free to make suggestions, they are always welcome.
Bop1997- I am so glad you gave my fic a chance and are enjoying it to boot! I think the premise of this fic is turning a lot of would-be readers off. Please keep R&R, and if you know anyone else who might enjoy this fic, please spread the word!
Ok, on to the story, lol!!
"I'll miss you!"
"I'll miss you more!"
"I miss you already!"
If you haven't guessed by now, this oh so mushy exchange was occurring right outside a little bed and breakfast in the town of Drums, PA. The magical week was over, Cory had to head back home, and he and Lauren were saying their goodbyes.
"When will I get to see you again?" Lauren asked sadly. "At least the last time I knew I had this to look forward to."
"Soon, I promise. We'll find a way to be together, it is vital to my health, maybe even the health of our very nation!" Cory answered with a smile. He was trying so hard to make this moment as light and airy as possible, and Lauren was dragging it down in the mire. It was the first time since they'd started dating that he found himself a little annoyed with her. Even so, he mused, it was understandable, the way she was acting, and he needed to respect her feelings. "Now give me your most passionate kiss and bid me farewell, this white knight has to get back to his kingdom!"
"If only I could come along." Lauren replied, and dutifully gave him the kiss he'd asked for. "You'll call every week, write every day?"
"Don't I always?" Cory was truly a man among men; he actually took the time to respond to Lauren's many letters, and used his cell to call her every week during the unlimited nighttime weekend calling hours. If that's not love, what is?
"Always. I had a great time this week, I hope you did too."
"The greatest spring break I've ever spent. Now sadly I have to go if I'm to get home at a decent hour. I will call you soon, I promise." So saying Cory placed a series of tiny kisses on Lauren's forehead, hands, and finally lips before getting in Eric's car and driving away, watching her wave goodbye until he could no longer see her behind him. He knew he really would miss her deeply, he'd had a great time with her that week, and he was already looking forward to seeing her again.
Back at the inn Lauren stood watching the car drive away, and even when she could no longer see it she continued to stare in the direction it had gone, he had gone, thinking about him and the wonderful time they'd had. The flowering cherry trees in the square seemed to echo back the precious beauty and promise of ripe abundance to come that she saw in her relationship with Cory. She'd never doubted for a moment since that first real kiss in the park what he felt for her, and she couldn't wait to graduate (only 2 more months!!) and move onto the next level, sharing a campus, classes, friends and new experiences.
Up next, (and soon) Cory and Shawn. You'll just have to wait and see where it goes. R&R!
