Craig POV

I was getting ready for my romantic night in my bathroom when Sophie leaned on the doorway.

"Hey, what's up?" I asked.

"I have to talk to you about tonight. Ashley…is going to try and have sex with you. But you can't let it happen. Losing your virginity is a huge deal, and Ashley is clearly not ready. I mean, I wasn't, Manny wasn't, and you weren't. Just don't ruin it for her. Please." Sophie said.

"Um, okay. If it means that much to you, I won't let it happen." I said.

"Craig, thank you. You're such a good guy." Sophie said.

Sophie kissed me on the cheek and left.

I looked in the mirror and let this huge piece of news sink in.

Sophie POV

Joey was still at work, Craig was at Ashley's and Angie was at ballet class, so I decided to invite Jimmy over. He sounded excited on the phone, and came over about ten minutes later.

"Sophie, it feels like every time we're in the moment, someone interrupts us." He said.

"Well, we have the house to ourselves now." I said seductively.

Jimmy grinned and kissed me. We backed up towards the couch when the phone rang.

"Don't answer it." Jimmy said, panting.

"I have to! It might be Craig or Joey!" I said.

"Sophie! Relax." Jimmy said.

"Okay, sorry." I replied.

We kissed again when Jimmy backed away.

"Sophie, I can't go any longer without telling you this. I love you." He said.

"What?" I asked.

"I'm in love with you. You're the most amazing girl I've ever dated. I love you." Jimmy said.

"Jimmy…we've been dating for two weeks." I said.

"Yeah…" he said.

I stared at him, unsure of what to do.

"Um, I have to go." He said.

He ran out, clearly embarrassed, leaving me alone on the couch.

Craig POV

I walked in to my living room and found Sophie eating out of a pint of ice cream with a spoon.

"Can I have some of that?" I asked.

She nodded and fed me a spoonful.

"So what happened with Ashley?" she asked.

"I fed her some line about how deep our relationship was without sex." I said.

"Wait. You fed her some line? You don't really care about her?" she asked.

"I don't know! Look who's talking, Miss I'm alone on a Friday night!" I shouted.

"I wasn't alone an hour ago. Jimmy was over." She said.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Jimmy told me he loved me, and I couldn't say it back so he left.' She said.

"Take some advice from someone who knows: tell him. And if Manny wants to have sex, say no." I said.

"I'll keep that in mind…" she replied.

She laughed and pushed me playfully.

"Okay, okay. But just think about what I said, alright?" I said.

Sophie nodded and I went upstairs to take a nap.

LATER…

I was lying in my bed when Sophie came in and sat next to me wearing a tight dress.

"Craig, I want you." She whispered.

I pulled her close to me and kissed her. She sat on top of me and undid my belt. She started to grab at me, but I stopped her and pushed up her dress. I put my hand between her thighs and she started breathing hard.

"Oh, Craig, yes, please, don't stop, yes!" she said.

She kissed me over and over with my hand still up her dress. She stopped for a moment.

"Craig, I am about to pleasure you in ways you can't imagine." She said.

I reached for her, but she seemed to be getting farther and farther away. I felt the sensation of being shaken, and I woke up.

"Craig, wake up. I need you to drive me to Jimmy's. I have to tell him I love him." Sophie said urgently.

I sat up and nodded, still in my dream world. I was disappointed that I had woken up. But I was sure this whole thing meant nothing, I mean Ashley was my soulmate. Or was she?

Sophie POV

I ran up Jimmy's stair and pounded on his door.

"Jimmy!" I yelled.

He opened the door and stared at me.

"Jimmy, I love you. I love you, I love you, I love you!" I said excitedly.

Jimmy raised his eyebrows and I nodded. He let out a whoop of joy and swept me up in his arms. I kissed him and he carried me into his house.

"Jimmy, I'm sorry about before. I guess I just freaked out because it was so soon… and any way, it doesn't matter. " I said.

"No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have sprung it on you like that." Jimmy said.

We both laughed at our apologies and kissed again.

Craig POV

I was so jealous. Jimmy got to have everything. Sophie, for one. And what did I have? Ashley. Which gave me an idea. Forget what I said about how deep our relationship was. I was going to go over and screw her, a thousand times if I wanted. That would show Jimmy and Sophie. I turned on my engine and burned rubber as I drove to Ashley's house.
