Chapter 2: Alone and Loving it

Scott: Well, how do you like my place?
Shelby: It is huge

Scott had just finished giving her the tour of his house and Shelby was shocked. She had thought Scott's life was different from hers but not this different. The ride to Scott's house was quiet. Martin never spoke to her, and she quite happy about that. She was sure if he said something she would of said something that might of wreck her and Scott getting to spend the summer together. She was also extremely happy that Martin had just left to do some kind of business and would not be back for two days. She and Scott could enjoy their time alone together.

Scott: And this is my well our room.

Scott's room was just like she thought it was his trophies everywhere, pictures of football on the walls, and right by his bed was a picture of Scott and his dad.

Shelby: Well don't you mean your room? Your father strictly said that I would be staying in the guest room.
Scott: Well, he is not going to be here for the next two days and I will pet that he will be on business trips for most of the summer. I strongly dought that we will be following that rule of his.
Shelby: (kidding) OO rule breaking, your a rebel, cowboy.
Scott: You bet
Shelby: Well, maybe I do not want to share a room with you.

While saying this, Shelby dropped her bags and walked her way to Scott.

Scott: Well. Then I will just have to convince you to want to.

Scott then wrapped his arms around Shelby's waist and leaned down to kiss her neck.

Scott: I love you.
Shelby: I love you.

Scott brought his left hand up to Shelby's face to wipe the hair away from her face. His right hand went a little further down (wink, wink). Scott then began to kiss her neck again. He then brought his lips to her lips and the convincing began. This went on for about 15 minutes.

Scott: So, are you convinced you want to stay with me in my room?
Shelby: (playfully) Um. I do not know.
Scott: (playfully) O really
Shelby: Ya

Scott then tackles her and starts to tickle her.

Shelby: Yes I will stay with you.
Scott: Good

Scott smiled and Shelby just thought about how much she loved him. She did not want to have meaningless sex with him. She wanted it to be special.

Scott: Shel, what is wrong?
Shelby: (to quickly) Nothing
Scott: Shells do not give me that. What is wrong?
Shelby: Well.
Scott: (strongly) Shelby!
Shelby: I want are first time together to be special. I just do not think I am ready yet.
Scott: Shelby, I want it to be special to.
Shelby: Really?
Scott: Yes of course! I love you more than anything. I will wait until your ready. Just because we are sleeping in the same bed does not mean we have to have sex. I love you Shelby Merrick. You are everything to me.
Shelby: I love you, Scott. Thank you for understanding.

Three hours later

Shelby: (yelling) NO. NO.
Splash
Scott: OMG. Scott I am going to kill you!

Scott has a huge pool in his backyard so of course- swimming (lol). Well it was all in good fun until Scott decided throw Shelby in.

Scott: (laughing) Dang! Shelby, you do not have to be so dramatic.
Shelby: YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY.
Scott: Yes I do.
Shelby: Lets see if you think it is funny when you do not have a girlfriend anymore.
Scott: Shelby, it is not that big of a deal.
Shelby: Yes it is!

Shelby jumps up to where Scott is squatting on the ground and pulls him the pool,

Later that night

Scott: I love you
Scott was on his side and his arm was over Shelby who was on her side looking at Scott.

Shelby: I love you, cowboy.

As Shelby was lying in Scott's bed with Scott, she had no dought in her mind that this summer was going to be filled with nothing but joy. Today had been amazing. For the firs time in so long, it had just been Scott and her. She loved it!

For the first time in so long Scott felt comfortable in his bed and he knew it was because of Shelby. He knew his dad hated Shelby but he did not care he really did not care about anything regarding his father. He made the deal with his dad to come home for the summer, only to be able to spend time alone with Shelby. It sure as hell paid off. Today had been amazing. He had never been so happy in his life. He just hoped nothing would ruin it.
