Back at Eden Hall

Guy's POV

I picked Connie up and carried her into the dorms. None of the other Ducks were there yet and I assumed they had found another bar to go to, still partying.We reached her dorm room and a strained to keep her in my arms and not drop her.

"Connie, wake up...Cons.."I said trying to wake her.

"hmm..."She said snuggling close to me. God, how I missed her doing that.

"Connie, I need your key." I said still trying to wake her. She was out cold, I thought as I finally gave up and carried her back to my room, opening the door with a little trouble.

I was lucky in the fact that I ended up being the one who got his own dorm room due to an odd number of Seniors. I kicked the door closed with my foot and laid Connie on my bed. The place was mess, I had been packing and Banks and Charlie had come over to start the party early that afternoon, so there was pizza boxes and soda cans everywhere. I looked back at Connie, what was I going to do with her, wait for Julie to get back to open their dorm room? Let her sleep here in my bed, where would I sleep? I asked myself. She sure as hell wasn't going to let me sleep in the same bed as her. I better try again to wake her, I thought, or atleast find her key. I sat down on the edge of the bed and touched her face lightly, God, she was so beautiful.

FLASHBACK

I laid with my hands behind my head in the treehouse Connie and I built when we were 13. I remembered Connie saying it was the first thing she's ever built, she even got her first spinter building it, but she was tough, she didn't cry. Connie laid with her head on my chest looking up at the stars, we'd left the roof off purposefully to star glaze. I was filled with so much joy, Connie had accepted to marry me, granted we still had a year of school left but we'd get through it. I knew there would never be anyone like Connie. I looked down at her and met her caramel eyes staring up at me.

"Hey."

"Hey." I said back, stroking her hair. She touched my chest and began to sit up. I looked at her a little confused and then she was face to face with me, looking down at me.

"Guy, Can we run away and get married." She asked me completely serious.

"Cons, I know your parents aren't going to approve but I kinda want my parents there." He said touching her face. She sighed,

"I know, I want your parents there too." She said feeling a like bad for suggesting it. I put my hand under her chin and lifted her face to mine.

"Cons, if you want to go get married and not tell anyone, okay, let's do it but I know deep down that you want that big church wedding and you want your parents there." I said as she smiled.

"It's not going to happen." She said sad, "We'll be lucky if they don't try to have you thrown in jail." I laughed a little.

"We'll just wait until we turn 18. It's only a couple of monthes away." I said as I leaned up to kissed her, she melted into my chest and wrapped her arms around my neck. I put my hand on the back of her head, it didn't matter how close she got to me I always wanted her closer. The kissing got intense and I could feel it heat up between us.

"Connie?" I asked inbetween kisses.

"hmm?"She asked still kissing me.

"Connie, do you...Do you want to make love?"I asked her, this being the second time in our relationship for me to ask her this important question. She stopped kissing me and looked down.

"Guy, I...I want to..."

"But what?"I asked her as she sat up. I sat up behind her stroking her back.

"It's...I don't know, I mean is this perfect? Is it the right time?...Is it..."Connie started to cry. I wrapped my arms around her

"Cons, baby, hey, Look at me..."I said lifting her chin. Her eyes were briming with tears. "Connie, I love you. No one will ever change that, do you understand me?" She shook her head.

"Good, It doesn't matter if we're in some fancy hotel room on prom night with champagne and roses or here and now...it's still going to be us...together." I said kissing her. Connie kissed me back then broke the kiss looking down to catch her breath,

"I love you too." She said before reaching for the button's on my shirt. I looked down at her as she made a line down my chest following the trail of buttons. When she was done she looked up at me and kissed me again. The next thing I knew we were back on the blankets pulling at each other's clothes. I left her lips and trailed down to the curve of her neck, just holding her to me for as long as I could. I loved her so much, I thought as she caught my lips again. I pulled her shirt over her head and continued to kiss her.

"Guy, Guy, Stop..."Connie said pushing at me a little. I stopped and looked down at her.

"What's wrong?" I asked confused

"I...I can't, Guy. I'm sorry...I'm so sorry." She said sitting up and grabbing for her shirt.

"Cons, It's okay...I mean I don't understand but..." I said sitting up next to her.

"I gotta go..."She said rushing out of the tree house. I tried to yell after her but she didn't stop.

END FLASHBACK

"Connie...Wake up...It's Guy...Wake up." I said gentle stroking her cheek with my thumb.

"hmm..." She said again, moving her head to my touch, she eyes opened slightly and she looked up at me. The same caramel eyes I gazed into so many times stared back at me.

"Where am I?" She asked still a little drunk.

"You're in my room." I said letting go of her face.

"Oh," She said sitting up, she felt all the blood rush to her head and became extremely dizzy. I caught her in my arms as she began to tip over. Connie looked into my eyes as I held onto her.

"Thank you..."She said touching my face.

"No need..." I said trying to look away before something happened. I no longer trusted myself not to kiss her, I missed her so much. Connie turned my face back to hers.

"Guy, I've missed you..." She said still not complete sober. I smiled, although it was nice to hear her say that, it was the drinks talked.

"Connie, don't say things you won't mean in the morning." I said laying her down and getting up to find something to do besides look at her.

"I do mean it..." Connie said trying to get up again, this time successfully. I looked at her before she almost collapsed. Again I caught her and our eyes met.

"Guy, make love to me..."She said looking at me. How I would love to, I thought before I stood her upright.

"You're drunk..."I said steading her on her feet.

"No, I'm not." She said getting a little pissed now. How I missed that temper even though it was usually directed at me.

"Connie you don't want this. Us...we never work out and besides, we're both leaving tomorrow and you'll regret this in the morning," I said turning away. Connie took off her top and grabbed me by the shoulders.

"No, I won't..." She said kissing me. I was completely caught off guard and melted into her kiss, picking her up and taking her to the bed. I wanted her as close to me as I could get, I couldn't deny the feelings that I still had for her. Somewhere, I doubted if this was right but it felt right and my emotions were in control. I laid her down on my bed and began to kiss her body, removing her clothes as fast as I could. Connie in the same hurry, pulled my sweater over my head and pulled at the rest of my clothes. We laid there for a few minutes kissing.

"Cons...baby, are you sure?" I asked looking down at her, not wanting to take advantage of her.

"Guy, I want to..."She said kissing me passionately. That was all I needed to send me over the edge of no return.

"I love you...I always have..."I said touching her face and pulling her to me.

"I love you too..."She said as we began to make love.
