I maintain everything that I said in the first chapter. I don't own what I don't own, and I own what I do.

PG-13 - Just In Case

I got a lot of response and I am sorry for my laziness. I had this chapter written a long time ago, along with the next, and just haven't had time to add it.

Chapter 3 Meeting Hector

When Julianna entered the room Hector was standing with a confident air next her mother in the kitchen. He smiled at her and she felt a blush rise into her face as he, not so subtly, looked her over. He took a deep breath and walked over to introduce himself. His hand was outstretched and his lips had just parted when her mother quickly bolted across the length of the kitchen to them and took it upon herself to introduce the two young people.

"Hector, this is my daughter Julianna. Julianna, this is the wonderfully nice young man, Hector. Have fun!"

She said this last part as she pushed them forcefully and swiftly out the door.

The cold air hit Juliann suddenly in the face and she was grateful for her sweater, which she quickly pulled over her head. She wasn't sure, but she thought she heard Hector sigh discontentedly as she did so. When she looked as his face, however, he smiled at her and walked her to his car. All she could think of as Hector opened the door for her was how rich he must be. Not only was his car a top model made only one year ago, the inside was upholstered in an expensive-looking type of leather. She could still faintly smell that 'new car' smell. She jumped a little when the door beside her closed and a few seconds later Hector was beside her.

"Where would you like to go," Hector asked, then added, "We could go to a nice restaurant, maybe?"

He formed this last part as a question. He expected a response from her. She thought it over, a bit surprised at the choice being hers.

"Do you like to dance?"
