In the morning, I lay on the couch and her on the other side. We lay there staring into each others eyes and talking. I can't remember what we talked about, but I remember her eyes. They were prettier than I'd ever seen before.
Joey walked through the living room and into the kitchen. "Rose, what did I tell you?"
"You told me that he couldn't sleep in my room. You never said I couldn't sleep out here. Besides, we didn't do anything." Joey didn't believe her.
"We didn't do anything I swear!" I said backing her up.
"Whatever you say, Casey," Joey stated as a sign that he didn't believe me either. "You guys better hurry up and get ready for school." We totally forgot about school! We hurried to get ready. When we finished, we had five minutes left to eat breakfast. But instead of eating, we talked some more.
We walked to school, talking the whole way. Joseph walked far ahead of us. Apparently he didn't want to be seen with us. Rose and I didn't care though.
We stopped right before we got to school. I stared into her eyes; she stared into mine. I'd been waiting for the perfect time to kiss her ever since I'd felt better. We both pulled close. And for the first time in my life, the rest of the world seemed to stand perfectly still. But it didn't matter about the world around me. All I cared about was Rose Delwood.
