Once again thanks for the reviews, I'm sorry this has taken a while longer to get up but I've been so busy with school, only 3 weeks until the holidays! YAY I'm finally 14! This is a chapter especially for you smutty Kandy lovers. Enjoy!

His two loves; Kirsten and strawberries

The sun crept threw the curtains basking Sandy and Kirsten in the morning sunlight. She had been awake for awhile already but by Sandy's slow, constant breathing she could tell that he was still fast asleep. She wished that they never had to move from this, that life could stop and stay stuck in this moment. His arm was draped around her hips, holding her secure with him and in turn she had entwined her fingers with his. Through her back, she could feel the steady beating of his heart, her lips curled up and smiled at the happiness she felt just lying there. She could stay there forever. His body stirred and he pulled her closer and rested his head on her shoulder whispering in her ear.

"Morning honey. How are you? …I love you."

She turned around to face him, their faces just centimetres away from one another's, and replied while staring deeply into his eyes.

"Better now you're here. I love you too. I wish we could stay like this forever but my parent's are going to have a fit when they find out you stayed the night. Actually, let me rephrase that, my Dad is going to have a fit when he finds out that you stayed the night. But right now I don't care. I'm with the man I love and no one is going to change that."

Touched by her speech, Sandy kept his mouth closed afraid to ruin the moment with another sarcastic comment. His mind flicked to last night when he met Kirsten's father for the first time. Okay, the first time he saw him he was in a tight embrace with his daughter and she was bawling her eyes out but couldn't he spare a little love for his daughter's boyfriend? But he didn't seem to be interested in his daughter's happiness or her life out of Newport, a thought that made Sandy shudder. His thoughts were interrupted by Kirsten's lips upon his as she probed his mouth open and passionately kissed him, thanking him for his arrival and Newport and being there for her.

"I can't wait for you to meet my Mom. She's going to love you. Just be careful, she's not to well right now because… of the… issue." Kirsten stammered out, embarrassed to admit that her mother was an alcoholic.

"What about your father. I mean he's already sort of met me. Will he like me?"

"Well he doesn't have a choice. I'm in love with you and there is nothing anyone can to do change that so they've just got to deal with it" She replied, hinting at a negative answer to the question Sandy posed. "And I can't wait for you to meet all my old friends, Taryn, Michelle, Katherine… and… Jimmy. I haven't seen him for ages I'm sure he'll be surprised to see me… and you too! I can't wait to show you off to everyone!"

Sandy stood there in shock as he realised what an effect Newport had on people. Seven days had gone by and Kirsten was already reverting to the spoilt self she was before arriving at Berkeley, before she met Sandy. He just hoped that even though she had changed, her feelings for Sandy hadn't changed either.

"Hi Mom, look who's come." Kirsten ushered Sandy towards the frail figure lying on the bed. I'm so lucky to have someone like him in my life. Not many people are as lucky as me. She thought to herself as Sandy introduced himself to her mother with such politeness that you would think that he was brought up in a community just like Newport, the only giveaway was his scruffy attire which Kirsten found so adorable on him. Within moments, conversation had sparked between both Sandy and her mother (Emily) and Kirsten watched, glad to see her mother's acceptance of Sandy. Not that she had doubted that she wouldn't like him. Kirsten knew that her mother would love Sandy, from the things Kirsten had said about him over the last week and the emotional state of her showed Emily that she really loved him. Much more than she loved Jimmy. She just wished that her husband would learn to accept him into his life because he was definitely going to be a part of Kirsten's life for a long, long time.

An hour later after Kirsten had dragged Sandy away from her mother and had a quick chat with her mother about how amazing Sandy was, they had entered the Nichol kitchen ready to face her father, the next obstacle in their relationship. Luckily he hadn't come out of his office yet and they had the kitchen to themselves. Grabbing the bowl of strawberries sitting on the bench, they began to feed them to each other, sneaking in kisses when they were sure no one would interrupt them. Finding a tablecloth he wrapped it around Kirsten's eyes and he fed her the strawberries already between his teeth and they laughed and mucked around finding interesting ways to feed each other the sweet strawberries. Kirsten was biting a strawberry out of Sandy's mouth when her father walked into the room, shocked and appalled at the actions of his daughter. First he spent the night and now they were making out in his kitchen!

"What are you still doing here?" He demanded to an embarrassed Sandy, who had been hoping to make a good impression but now that that was down the drain he realised he had nothing to loose.

"Good morning to you too Sir. I'm just sharing this delicious bowl of strawberries with your gorgeous daughter." He shot a smile at Kirsten who, as well, was red with embarrassment from being caught earlier and from holding in a barrel of laughter from the reaction of her father. Of course he wasn't a man of many words but he never had expected such a cunning remark from a man he had never spoken to before in his life. Well, if he thinks he can be smart, I'll show him smart. Caleb thought to himself before exiting the room leaving Kirsten and Sandy to finish what they were up to before he interrupted them.

"Do you have anymore of these strawberries?" Sandy asked with a grin.

Yep, I managed to incorporate the strawberries! Please read and review, hopefully it is up to standard!
