"Cream in a can?" I asked Parker politely, shaking it up in front of her.

"Ooh, yes please," she smiled, taking it from me.

"Oh man, I don't think I've ever eaten this much junk food junk food in my whole life!" I said as I rolled off of Parker's bed and onto her floor. She laughed as she joined me.

"Me neither!" she was laying one way and I lay the other, but our heads were side by side as we looked at the moon from the skylight in her ceiling. From the corner of my eyes, I could see the look on her face. Something was definitely on her mind.

"What's the matter, Parks?" I asked her.

"Lily?"

"Yeah?"

"How long do you think we'll last?"

I turned my head to look at her. "What do you mean? I…I can't really tell you that. I have no idea."

"Maybe we should come out." she said.

"Parker, you know that I can't do that."

"And why not? Look, I'm afraid of what my parents will say too, but I…" she faltered.

Her eyes were glistening in the dim light coming from the moon. I changed my position so that I was lying right next to her, face to face. I could feel her stomach, lightly brushing against mine and her quickening breath warming my skin.

She looked at me as she always did…like I was the only other person in the world. I looked at her the same way as I put my palm on her cheek and pulled her in for a kiss. Slow muffled moans escaped her lips, telling me that she was enjoying it. I, too, had to tell her something, and so I broke away.

"Parker, I want you to be happy. That's all I want for you, but you have to understand that I'm not ready for that yet. I want to scream it to the world, how I feel about you, but not right now. Not tonight. Tonight, I just want to focus on us. The rest of the world doesn't exist."

"Lil…" she tried to say something, but there was still something I wanted to tell her.

"Parker, if you love me as much as I love you, you won't say anything about us until we're both ready."

"What was that?" she asked as she sat up in confusion.

"I said, you won't say anything bout us until we're both ready."

"No, before that."

"Oh, I said the rest of the world doesn't exist," I said with a nervous smile.

"You…you said that you loved me, Lily." I could see her start to tear up.

"Yeah," I looked down, and then back at her. "Yeah, I guess I did."

She brought herself closer to me. Her cheeks slightly rubbed against mine before she kissed me.

"I love you," she said.

"I love you too," I told her again.

She looked at me, childishly. "I love you four," Parker said playfully.

"I love you infinity."

And then the look. Parker gave me that look of hers that made me melt. That beautiful half a smile as her eyes focused only on mine.

"I love you more!"

A/N: If you used to watch "Clueless", you'll know where those last lines came from. I just thought it was something really sweet that needed to be in the story.
