Chapter Three

Tommy arrived at the Deville house a minute later. He was feeling very anxious but nevertheless there was no turning back now. He rang the doorbell and there she was, just as beautiful as ever. He could tell that she had put just as much, maybe even more, effort than he had into getting ready for the night. They walked into the house and Lil offered him a drink and he accepted.

They did not get started on the project right away, but instead talked for a little while. "Hey, where's Phil?" Tommy asked.

"Oh, he's over at Kimi's" she replied nonchalantly.

"Why is he there, and especially to see Kimi?" he inquired.

"Well, he didn't want me to tell anyone but I guess its ok. They've started going out. I guess they have liked each other for a long time and Kimi finally made a move." She replied.

"Wow, I never saw that one coming. Who ever thought they would end up together? I most certainly didn't" Tommy said, a little bit shocked, but not completely.

"I had a suspicion for a long time. That twin thing ya know. But I never thought that she would actually do something about it." She said

"I don't think anyone did. So when are they gonna be ready to tell everyone else?" he asked.

"Well I hope soon cause it won't be easy to keep it a secret much longer."

"Ya got that right. I never really thought that we would get together. I mean it's amazing that we haven't grown apart after all these years."

"Yeah it is." In her head, Lil's mind turned to mush. "Does that mean that he doesn't like me?" She thought. "I hope not, it could be a clue, but he may not know that I love him. I have to tell him tonight."

There was silence for quite sometime. A very awkward silence. Finally, Tommy broke it. "Ya know Lil there is something that I have to tell you."

"What Tommy?" replied Lil. Was this what she was hoping for?

"Ya know how you said that Phil had been feeling that way about Kimi for a long time?" he asked

"Yeah I am his twin after all."

"Well that is how I feel about you. I have felt that way for a long time."

"Really??? I feel the same way; I just never had the courage to say anything. I was going to tell you tonight, but I guess that I got scared."

"I was terrified too. I guess I was afraid that you were gonna reject me or something. I guess I was wrong."

"O you were wrong Tom, you were wrong." And with that she leaned over and kissed him deeply and passionately. Surprised at first but almost immediately he returned her kiss. It was a good thing that no one else was home, though Tommy suspected that Phil might have planned it that way, but knowing how protective Phil was of his sister, he doubted it. He might have known for some time about how Tommy felt and had probably used this as an opportunity to let Tommy tell Lil, but, again his protectiveness also made it very unlikely.

Lil's parents had gone out. So that left them home alone. Their passionate kiss lasted for a few minutes. Their kiss was interrupted only when they heard the slam or a car door.

"Oh shit!" exclaimed Lil. "You are not supposed to be here cause my parents didn't know that you were coming. But it doesn't matter. We have to act like we were working on the project to cover." Quickly they threw some history papers on the table and began to act like they had been working on their project, conversing about ideas. Lil's parents, Howard and Betty walked into the house after enjoying a nice evening out "Tommy!" said Betty "What are you doing here? And Lil where is Phil?"

"Oh, hi Mom. Tommy's here working on a project with me for history and Phil is over at Chukie's house." Lil replied, coolly.

"Oh well, ok then. Did Phil tell you what time he would be home?" asked Betty.

"No he didn't. He just said that he was going over to Chuck's house and didn't say when he would be back." Said Lil.

"Anyway." Said Tommy, "I have to go home now so, we'll work on the project later Lil ok?"

"Yeah Tom that's fine. See you at school tomorrow." Said Lil

"Bye Mrs. Deville" said Tommy. And with that he was out the door and headed home. Tommy was very pleased with how the evening went. He had accomplished what he had set out to do with great success. "Tomorrow" he thought "We will make it official and tell everyone about us. And I will ask Lil if she wants to start going out." His also realized that she had said that Phil was visiting Chuck, not Kimi. Tommy then arrived home. He said a quick good night to his family and was off to bed.
