Chapter 4:

Sweet Love

Lucas walked downstairs but didn't see Josie there. "She must be getting her bag." he thought. "Hey Lucas. I see your doing good." Vaughn glared at Lucas. "Oh. Hey Vaughn. I didn't notice you were there." Lucas glared back. "I see you're having a great time with her. Did you get to fuck her yet?" Vaughn smiled, evily. "I don't care about that Vaughn." Lucas just turned away from Vaughn and walked away.

"Lucas, that was so much fun! Your family is soo nice." Josie said, as they sat at a diner, waiting for their food. "Thanks Josie. Wanna go to the house later? No one will be there because my little sister is going to perform at her school, but we can watch tv." Lucas asked. "Yeah. I'd like that." Josie smiled.

They both sat on the couch watching one of Josie's favorite movies "The Nightmare Before Christmas," and Josie looked at Lucas. "Lucas, do you know why I like you so much?" she asked. "No...why?" he looked at her, intently. "Because I know that you love me, and you are gentle and sweet. You would sit through movies you don't really like that much, or have seen so many times...just for me. You never push me into things. Not like Vaughn. He would always ask for sex. You never have. And I don't think you will. But I feel like electricity runs through my body whenever I kiss you. I feel the NEED to give myself to you. I never felt like this about anyone." Josie smiled. Lucas just kissed her. "I don't know what to say. Just that I feel the same about you." he whispered. Josie got up, turned off the tv, put on some music, and dimmed the lights. "Lucas. I love you. You're the only guy that I've felt I can give myself to." she took off her jacket, and started to unbutton Lucas' shirt. "Josie, are you sure you want to do this?" he looked worriedly into her eyes. "More than you know." she assured him.

Josie smiled as she remembered the events of the night. She looked at Lucas and put her hand up to his face. Lucas woke with a start. "Jos...what time is it?!" he looked at the clock. It said 11 PM. "Oh shit. We missed curfew. Let's go." Josie got up and started getting dressed. "Josie? You were great." Lucas stood up and softly gave her a kiss. "So were you." she said in a whisper.

Once they were dressed, they walked out onto the street. "It rained." Josie said, looking at the wet streets. Lucas nodded. They hurried to the school only to find that the gate was locked. Lucas smiled at Josie and jumped the gate. He unlocked it from the other side and opened the door. "Madam." he grinned and bowed. "Thank you sir." Josie giggled. They hurried up the stairs and Lucas quietly walked Josie to her door. "Good night Jos." he started to turn around to walk to his room. "Wait. Why don't you stay?" she grabbed his arm. "Don't you remember? Both Corrine and Marshall came back tonight. And...Principal Durst will have a field day. We were lucky we haven't been caught before." Lucas answered. "Okay fine. But let me give you something before you leave." Josie put her hands on his waist and kissed him. "Yum, a most delicious goodnight kiss." Lucas winked at Josie. "Goodnight Jos." he said and left.

"Hey Josie. I wrote a song. Want to hear it?" Lucas asked Josie a couple of days later. "Of course." she sat across from him. Lucas took out his guitar and sang:

Breathe in for luck,
breathe in so deep,
this air is blessed,
you share with me.
This night is wild,
so calm and dull,
these hearts they race,
from self control.
Your legs are smooth,
as they graze mine,
we're doing fine,
we're doing nothing at all.

My hopes are so high,
that your kiss might kill me.
So won't you kill me,
so I die happy.
My heart is yours to fill or burst,
to break or bury,
or wear as jewelery,
which ever you prefer.

The words are hushed lets not get busted;
just lay entwined here, undiscovered.
Safe in here from all the stupid questions.
"hey did you get some?"
Man, that is so dumb.
Stay quiet, stay near, stay close they can't hear...
so we can get some.

My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me.
So won't you kill me, so I die happy.
My heart is yours to fill or burst,
to break or bury, or wear as jewelery,
which ever you prefer.

Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember,
I'll always remember the sound of the stereo,
the dim of the soft lights,
the scent of your hair that you twirled in your fingers
and the time on the clock when we realized it's so late
and this walk that we shared together.
The streets were wet
and the gate was locked so I jumped it,
and I let you in.
And you stood at your door with your hands on my waist
and you kissed me like you meant it.
And I knew that you meant it,
that you meant it,
that you meant it,
and I knew,
that you meant it,
that you meant it.

"Josie...I love you." Lucas put down his guitar and put his arms around her. "That was sooo great. I love you too." Josie smiled and they kissed.

THE END

HOPE YOU LIKED IT!!
