A month into their secret affair they were sitting in the garage alone, they had told their friends that they were busy, so that no one would bother them. Kelsie sat on the couch up with her feet up on the arm, listening to Craig sing the first song he wrote her.

He stopped with guitar still in his arms, as he was looking into Kelsie's eyes, smiling. Kelsie's eyes sparkled back at him.

"I love that song," kissing his hands, gently biting his index finger.

"I'm glad, so when do your parents get home?" brushing her hair with his fingers.

"They just phoned this afternoon, saying that they have to head to Calgary for a couple of days more. They'll be home by Thursday."

"How are you feeling about this?" putting his arm around her shoulders.

"At this point I don't care; I'm so tired of fighting with them about it every time I see them. I'm tired of having to take care of everything here, when it's not my job," wanting to scream out so bad, but she restrained herself.

"Why don't you let me help you with that?" hating to see what this was doing to her. He wanted so bad to go over there and tell her parents what he thought of them.

"It's not you job," not wanting him to get involved.

"But I want to help," he pleaded, rubbing her leg.

"Okay," she got up, and sat on Craig's lap, facing him. Starting to kiss him, while he rubbed her back as they kissed, she put her hands under his legs.

They heard the handle giggling, and were startled; Kelsie quickly jumped off his lap and sat in another chair, as the door opened.

Jimmy looked at both their faces, to see that they weren't even keeping eye contact with each other. He knew something was up, but what? "What are you guys up to?"

"Oh we were just fooling around, playing some music," Kelsie said as she blushed.

"What are you doing here?" Craig asked.

"Oh Ash was doing something with her father tonight, so I had nothing else to do," he said sitting down on an empty chair.

As the Months went by it became harder to hide their relationship, they had many close calls. It only made it the affair even more exciting, knowing that any moment they could be found out.

It was May, Kelsie walked into homeroom, Spinner waved at her with a great big smile on his face. He looked a little happier then usually to see her.

"Hey sexy, how are you today?" Spinner asked brushing her shoulder with the back of his hand making her feel a little unconformable, knowing that she had a boyfriend.

She wanted to tell him not to do that that she had a boyfriend, but she couldn't. "Fine, how about you?"

"Well I could be better if…" he stopped, wanting to sweep her off somewhere.

"If what?" wondering what he wanted. Hoping that she was wrong about what he was just about to ask.

"If you would go out with me tonight," grinning at her, hoping that she would take up his offer.

Kelsie was speechless she didn't expect this. How would she let him down with out giving her away that she had a secret boyfriend? She smiled, "I wish I could, but already have plans with a friend from my Biology class…sorry…maybe another night."

"Alright, I'm going to hold you to that," he would defiantly make sure about that. He wanted her to be his; she wasn't like any other girl at Degrassi. She was different, seemed more mature.

"Bye," she waved as she walked up the stairs. As she got around the corner she laughs, she couldn't believe what had just happened.

Craig was in the band room, strumming on his guitar when Paige strolled through the doors. She was strutting her stuff, making sure she was noticed. She had a short pleaded jean skirt, with a white skirt, "Hey there."

Craig looked at her, but then went right back to his guitar. It didn't really faze him, to him no one compared to Kelsie.

Brushing her hair behind her ear, giving him big smile. "What are you up to?"

"What does it look like?"

"Oh yeah, stupid me," she laughed slightly. "Well I was thinking since now that Spinner and I are through, that tonight you and I could get together," grabbing the collar of his shirt.

"I don't think so," removing her hands, looking a little bit uncomfortable about the situation.

"Why not we're both free?" knowing that she would eventually break him. Any guy would die to have a piece of her, but she was choosing him.

"Because I've got plans," annoyed that she couldn't take no as an answer.

"Why don't you skip it," resting her hands on his inner thighs, coming closer to his ear, whispering, "We could have a little fun, if you know what I mean. Here's a preview."

Paige jumped up on his lap, and began kissing him rough, tugging his upper lip. He stopped it almost as soon as it started, placing her back on the ground. "Don't you get the meaning of NO?"

"Oh come on your plans can't be better than that?" thinking pretty highly of herself.

"I'm not going to date my friend's ex, only a couple of weeks after their break-up," knowing that wasn't the real reason, but he couldn't tell her that.

"Fine, it's your loss," she said tossing her hair back as she walked out of the room.

Craig arrived at Kelsie's house with a single red rose behind his back. He waited at the door, until she answered. As the dark opened, his smile became larger.

"Hey," she said pulling him in the house by his free hand.

"I had quite the interesting afternoon today," Craig said as he walked through the living room.

"You too!" remembering her encounter with Spinner today.

"Paige came onto me, and even told me that she wanted to sleep with me."

Kelsie couldn't believe her ears, but she couldn't really blame her when she didn't know he was taken. "Well Spinner asked me out, and was being all flirty with me. I've never seen him act this way with me before. We're going to have to tell them soon before little Miss Paige tries a little bit more on you."

"I know but it's been so much FUN," kissing her on the nose before handing her the rose.

"I've decided something," she said sitting down on the couch.

"What would that be?" sitting next to her.

"I've decided that it was time to finally take this ring off," taking it off her finger, and placing it on the side table.

"You know you don't have to do that for me. I know that it means a lot to you."

"It still does, but I think it's time. I'm totally committed to you, so I didn't think it was right for me to wear it on my hand any longer. I will always love him, but he no longer holds all of my heart anymore."

"You truly amaze me," he smiled.

"How about you say we go make dinner now?"

"Sounds good to me, I'm starved! What are we having?"

"Grilled chicken on the BBQ, with corn on the cob."

"Yummy," grabbing her hand as they walked towards the kitchen.

When she got out all their supplies for dinner, "Why don't you start up the BBQ, while I make my special BBQ sauce."

"Okay, but I'll need a lighter."

"There's one in the drawer by the stove."

After Kelsie was finished in the kitchen, she brought the food out to Craig, so he could cook it. She then went back into the kitchen to get the plates and silverware to set the table that was on the deck.

Kelsie came behind Craig putting her arms around his waist, and kissed his shoulder, before leaning her chin on it. "I can't believe it's been 3months already, and we actually pulled it off."

"I know," putting his hands on top of hers.

Coming up with a great idea, "I say we tell them at the last dance, by showing up in each others arms."

Craig turns around to face her, "You know I've been thinking lately about how you make me feel. I know what I feel about you I've never felt with anyone else. I was able to show all of myself to you, to open up. In past relationships you know I've was never able to do that. It's a feeling I've been having since last fall before your birthday. I'm telling you today that I can truly say to you that I love with you with all I have."

Tears trickled down her cheeks, she was overjoyed by his words, "Craig, I know that I'm falling head over heals in love with you. And I'm glad that I was able to find another love. When I look into your eyes I know everything will be alright, you make me forget all my worries the way no one has before."

Craig put his finger on Kelsie's lip to stop her from talking anymore, so he could kiss her. She allowed him more access to her mouth. She stopped the kiss for a second; making Craig think, something was wrong. She jumped up on the railing to sit on. She grabbed Craig's hands, bringing him closer to her again. He then leaned back in the kiss her nice soft lips; Kelsie guided his lips to nape of her neck, as he put his hands on her butt so she wouldn't fall backwards.

Spinner and Paige both arrived at Kelsie's house at the same time, getting out of their different vehicles. Both had a surprised look on their face, when they seen each other. Unsure why the other would be at Kelsie's house right now.

"What are you doing here Spin?" knowing that Kelsie wasn't close friends with him.

"Well I could ask you the same thing," he ranted.

"Well she is my best friend. I wanted to see what she was up to," she lied.

"Well I'm here to see who she was seeing."

"What are you talking about?"

"I asked her out, and she said other plans, so I figured it had to be a date."

"Maybe that Blake guy is in town. She told me a while back that she had a thing for him," she said as they climbed the stairs.

They knocked on the door, but no one came, that's when they heard giggling coming from the backyard. "Let's see what that is," Paige suggested.

"I'm behind you."

They walked towards the backyard, opening the gate. Kelsie and Craig didn't even hear the squeaking of the gate, they were too busy having their own fun.

Paige and Spinner came around the corner, to discover Kelsie making out with someone, who looked familiar but they could figure it out right away.

"Hun you should check on the food before it burns," Kelsie said.

Craig turned around, stunning both Paige and Spinner. Now they come to think of it, it totally made sense. How didn't they figure out sooner? Were they really too caught up in their own lives?

"So what do we have here? Spinner asked, as he walked up the deck stairs with Paige.

"Oh my goodness, you scared me," Kelsie replied. "What are you guys doing here?"

"Well I wanted to see what was so special you couldn't break plans for me," Spinner answered.

"And I wanted to talk to you about how to get Craig, but I can see now that's out of the question."

"Well I guess you guys found us out," Craig said.

"How long have you been going out?" Paige asked.

"Since the day Spin and Jimmy found us kissing."

"I thought you thought of him as only a brother," putting her hands on her hip.

"Well I had to give some reason why I wouldn't date him, and that was the first to come to mind. See I wanted to have something in my life that people wouldn't make a big deal about. I'm sorry I lied to you," giving her a hug. She hoped that Paige wasn't mad.

"I understand, you do deserve to be happy," she smiled, knowing how much she had been through this last year.

"Dude, I guess you finally got what you've been wishing for," patting him on the back, as Craig took the food off the grill.

"Yes, and she makes me the happiest man in the world, words can't even describe the feeling, "he said as he watched her talk away with Paige in the corner.

"Sweetie, our foods ready," he called out.

"Alright."

"I guess we'll leave you by yourselves," Paige said grabbing Spinner by the arm as if he was a child, just as she had done when they went out.

"Bye," they both said as they headed down the path.

"So what do you want to do tonight?" Craig asked as they sat down outside to eat.

"Well we could take a dip in the pool. This spring seems to be a hot one…" raising her eyebrow.

You could say that again he thought, not that he was complaining, because that meant she was in much less clothes, not that she didn't look good anything she wore, it's just he loved it when she showed off her great long legs.

"…If this is an indication what summer's going to be like than we're in trouble."

"Well it can have it's advantages," he sad raising a brow.

Kelsie rolled her eyes, "You are so bad," lightly slapping him on the arm.

"You know it."

Later on by the pool, Kelsie came walking down the path, doing a little fashion show, showing off her little blue flower bikini. After she was finished, Craig picked her up and jumped in the pool with her in his arms.

She tore out of his arms, and began to splash him in the face to get him back.

"You're going to regret that," Craig hollered.

"Oh am I," starring at him over her shoulder.

"Yeah," he dived deeper into the water. Kelsie couldn't see where he had gone, all of a sudden, he came up underneath her, and she ended up on his shoulders.

"What are you doing?" she shrieked.

Craig then flung her into the water, making her go flying. He started to giggle.

"Oh you think that's funny."

"Yeah," she started to move farther away from him. He decided to swim after her.

"You can try to catch me all you want, but you won't be able to," he then actually caught up with her.

"You were saying," he bragged.

"Okay," she turned around allowing him to kiss her. She allowed this for a little bit, but then she pushed him away, climbing out of the pool before running for the house. Craig wasn't too far behind her.

As she approached the house, Craig almost caught her, but the door slammed in his face. He quickly opened it, running after her into the living room. He ended up tackling her onto the couch, tickling her. He had her laughing so hard that she felt like she was going to pee her pants.

"Stop, stop, stop," she squealed.

"Do you surrender, no more running."

Putting her hand on her chest, "I promise."

"Good!"

He leaned down, and began to nibble on her ear gently, slowly moving his lips to the middle of her neck. His touch made tingles go down her back. Craig moved his hand down her side as the other one was keeping him steady, her back began to arch. He loved the way her body was reacting to his every touch.

Kelsie touched his jaw, guiding his face back to her lips, and kissed him hard, pulling on his lower lips with her teeth.

"I need you, right now," she moaned.

"Are you sure, you're ready for this step?" Craig asked, not wanting her to do anything she may not be ready for.

"Yes."

He pulled her up off the couch, and he held her hand as they were walked up the stairs to her room, they were both smiling. They stopped a couple of times on the way to share a little kiss.

When they entered her room, they began kissing, slowly walking towards the bed. As they approached the bed, Kelsie pushed Craig on it.

Kelsie woke-up the next morning with her head on Craig's bare chest. She smiled when thinking of last night; it had been filled with magic, a feeling that she couldn't describe. Last night had been the first real night that she wished that she couldn't go back and change the past. She was finally going to let herself truly love another.

Craig woke-up, putting his arms around her, kissing her on the top of her head, "Morning," he smiled.

"Morning, how did you sleep?"

"Wonderful."

"How about we go have some breakfast, than get dress? We have practice in like 3hrs, so we need to be ready."

"Okay."

Kelsie darted out of bed, and down the stairs as Craig chased after her again. Boy he loved this girl he thought. He didn't think that anything could be anymore perfect then this.
