Megan opened the door to her house and set her computer down near the
stairs. She turned on some lights.
"Hello?" she called into the house not expecting an answer. She walked into the living room and turned on those lights as well. Travis followed her. She turned and he continued walking and stopped as soon as he saw her. They were standing close together. He looked at her and she looked back, waiting for him to make his move.
"So, what are we going to do?" he asked her.
"I don't care. What do you want to do?"
Travis raised his eyebrow.
A few hours later the two of them were lying on the floor of Megan's living room, with the main menu from the "To Kill A Mockingbird." DVD playing. Megan slightly sat up propping herself up on her elbows. Travis sat up and turned off the TV and on the stereo. The Paper Moon cd was currently playing. She looked at him and smiled.
"You definitely are Lily's friend."
She laughed. "I have some music from the states if you want to play that."
He shook his head and lay back down next to her. She looked at him. He leaned over and kissed her. She slowly laid back down on the floor as he rose slightly leaning over her not breaking the kiss. She set her hand on his neck. He gently pulled away from her and looked at her.
"I love you." He said.
This took her back. "Travis."
"I know, it's soon, and this is a huge step for me but, it feels right."
She nodded and lifted her head to kiss him again. And the two got lost inside each other.
"Ray." lily said when he pulled away from her.
"I'm sorry." He said.
"No. don't be." She smiled.
"You want to go home?" he said leaving money on the table.
She smiled. "Sure." And she stood up and the two left together.
As they walked home they talked about nothing really important. As they were walking Ray smoothly slipped his hand inside of Lily's and she smiled, noticing this. She slowly laid her head on his shoulder, so it was comfortable and he moved his hand up around her waist. Lily was happy, and not just cause she had someone. This person was important to her and not just as a boyfriend. At this moment she suddenly knew that no matter what her and Ray would always be there for each other. She closed her eyes not worried about where she was walking.
When they finally arrived at her house, she stood up and looked at him.
"Thank you." She said. "This evening was. grand."
He laughed. "Yes it was my lady." And he kissed her hand.
She smiled, still looking at him. He looked up at her and they're eyes locked. He slowly leaned and softly kissed her on the lips. She loved the taste of him, and the softness of his lips. She smiled into the kiss as it ended.
"Ill talk to you tomorrow?" he asked.
"Definitely" she replied and went up the steps to her house.
Robbie sat alone in his room. He was writing in a notebook.
Travis loves Megan. I am happy for him but I hate that he's given into this. I know that sounds stupid, and it is given but. I don't know. I want it, you know? I'm glad Ray and Lily is finally together though. He deserves it after everything she's put him though. And ever since that night at the park I think I've started to have something for Megan. It might just be jealousy that everyone is parried up but, its not. I love to spend time with her cause we always laugh. I would never do anything to jeopardize her relationship, or mine, with Travis. I just don't want things to change. Ray, Lily and I have been friends since kindergarten and Travis and Megan becoming friends with us was a good thing too, not really a change though. But what is going on between them now? They're falling in love? Please, were juniors in high school! We don't know what love is. At least I don't. Maybe I should call Kim back, but I wont because I'm not desperate. Or am I?
The next morning Lily woke up in smiles. She got up before her alarm, which was strange on a Saturday morning. She turned it off so it wouldn't sound and stood up out of bed. It was 9:00. She got up and decided to call Megan.
Megan was wide-awake. She was in her bed looking out the window at the gray clouds. She had been up all night and had watched the stars fall and the sunrise. She picked up the phone on the first ring.
"Hello?" she answered, her voice somewhat quiet.
"Hey" her best friend said.
"Lily. how was your date with Ray?"
"It was amazing, Meg. he kissed me."
She smiled, closing her eyes. "Did he?"
"Yeah and we walked home and. it was great."
"Good, Lil. You two need to be together."
She laughed. "Why because were destined or because yall are sick of us?"
"Both."
She laughed again. "So how was your night?"
"Well." Megan said as she looked over at her boyfriend sleeping next to her.
"What?" Lily asked. "Is everything ok?"
"I think so."
"Megan."
She bit her lower lip, and smiled. "Travis. spent the night."
"What?" Lily asked, shocked.
"Is that horrible?"
"Meg that's.."
"He told me he loved me."
"Do you love him?"
"How do you feel when you're with Ray?"
Lily smiled and Megan knew this.
"Exactly." Megan said.
"Hello?" she called into the house not expecting an answer. She walked into the living room and turned on those lights as well. Travis followed her.
