Shelly smiled roughing her hair still wet from surfing that morning, she sat down on the couch next to Tony. "Shelly, I have a question." Jay asked. She smiled at him curiously & asked "What's that?"

"Why did you spend all your money replacing everything?"

"I'm busted." She thought, trying to think of how to answer then decided just to tell the truth.

"Be cause you guys were so kind to me I decided to give some thing back."

"& For the record, that's what was on my mind this morning at breakfast." Stacy said peering around the corner of the hall way, she laughed .

"Ready to learn how to skate or what?" Tony asked

She nodded "Let me grab my board."

"Are you sure it's ok to skate on your ankle?" Stacy asked

"Let me see it by the way, make sure it hasn't swollen up or any thing."

She nodded lifting up the leg of her jeans to show.
"It should be… I mean it's just bruised." Tony said wincing at the black & blue mess completely around he small ankle.

"He's right it should be."

Shelly held tight to Tony's hands has he helped her to learn how to guide the skate board beneath her.

"Don't tense up so much!" he laughed

"Why?" she squealed losing her balance falling into Tony's arms.

"That's why." he laughed again

"Oh shut up." she said he just laughed harder, he helped her back on to her skateboard carefully.

"I cant wait to see her start in empty pools, that's gonna be hilarious!" Jay said , laughing himself.

"Your not helping!" Shelly said

"Ignore him, ok? Look straight at me…" Tony said turning her face toward him, there eyes locking once again. "…Just focus on what your doing ok?" he said, all Shelly could seem to do was nod.

Tony couldn't resist he leaned in slowly & softly kissed her, he pulled away slowly.

"Did I just kiss her?" He thought.

"Are you going to teach her how to skate?Or are you to just going to stand there making out with herall day?" Stacy asked, as he & Jay tried not to laugh.
"I'm going to let you go this time." he said again all Shelly could do was nod.

"Now I told you this time so don't slap me like you did this morning."

They just laughed.

"Ok, ok." she said smiling locking eyes with him once again.

She gave a push off, starting to pick up speed , Tony let her go, as she navigated her way down the sidewalk.

Tony gently knocked on her bedroom door, she was sitting on her bed guitar in her lap.

" Playing a song from memory?"

"Writing one actually."

"Well with as well as you play I'm not surprised." He chuckled Shelly just smiled

"This is gonna sound so strange, but I felt some thing, when we kissed earlier."

"Yeah I did too."

"It was like, I don't know, this weird spark."

"Maybe it's a hint or something."

"Did you just ask me out in a strange way?" embarrassed Tony nodded.

"Sure, Your defiantly cute enough." they both just laughed.

He kissed her softly once again, but with a little more power than last.

He pulled away, his hand on her face, the softest skin he had ever felt.

"I love you." he whispered.

"I love you too." she kissed his cheek.

"Play for me?" he asked.
