AN: I was reading through all my lovely e-mail (why is their always so much junk) when I cam across yet another review so I said to myself what-the-hey, why don't I just update already. So hear goes, I hope you all enjoy it. And just because I forget writing it doesn't make it any less true. I don't own, will never own, but wish to own EverWorld. That privilege belongs to A. K. Applegate alone. So, on with the story.

Chapter 7 – Meeting with Athena Part 2

I didn't know what to say. Maybe if I pretend to be asleep he'll assume I am and go away.

"Hey, April, are you awake?" Then again maybe not.

"Yeah," I said, "what do you want?"

"To talk, can I come in?" Well, let the lecher come in and gawk at me or make him go away and seem rude, oh the choices I'm left with.

"I guess," I said as he slowly opened the door and stepped in. "As long as you don't try anything." He gave be a once over at that and said.

"Now, April, you wound me. I'm a perfect gentleman." I snorted at that last comment and he smirked.

"So, what did you want?" Now I was actually curious despite myself.

"Well, April, we've know each other a long time now right," he paused and my hands started sweating. Where was he going with this?
"Well, I suppose we have known each other for a while." I said carefully.

"Well, I was just wondering if…you know, well if it wouldn't be too much trouble…never mind."

"No, what?" I asked, now very, very curious.

"Well, just" he grabbed my hands in his. "Will you bare me a child." That's about the point where I fell off the bed in shock.

"Wh-What?" I was struck dumb at that moment.

And then he laughed. I mean head back shoulders shaking laughing so hard that I didn't know how long he would be able to say on the edge of my bed that he was now perched on. And then it happed, he fell, on top of me. But he was still laughing so hard that he didn't even seem to notice his sudden downward momentum.

"Yo-You should have seen you face." He laughed. "It was priceless. I don't think I'll ever be able to get that shocked look out of my mind."

"Yes, yes, very amusing. Did you really come over hear to bother me or was their anything I should know about." I asked

"Well David sent me over to get you. Well, no, actually I volunteered, but we are all having a meeting about how to present our case to Athena in the morning."

"That's fine and good and lovely and all but, could you please get off me now, your squishing me." I said, huffing indignantly. He looked down finally; I guess he really hadn't realized he was on top of me.

"You know, about baring my children and all. This is a good start." He said in a husky voice. I shivered.

"Ok, ok. Ha, ha, ha. You are the master of mirth, the king of comedy the-" His lips where on mine. I froze. This didn't seem like a joke and Christopher never went this far with jokes anyway. He started kissing me more passionately. It seemed like he was almost begging be with his lips to join in the action as well, so I did. It felt, I don't know how to describe it without sounding cliché. He pressed against my mouth begging for entrance. I allowed it and he took advantage of it immediately. I had never been kissed like this, or maybe I had and their just wasn't the feelings behind it that made it seem so different.

Ten minute later we decided we really did need to come up to get adequate air.

"April, I'm…that was…I" Christopher stammered.

"Yeah," I said, "me too. Wasn't their a meeting we where supposed to attend?"

"Yeah…but I think I'm more comfortable here." He said looking down and leering at me.

"You, lecherous pig." I laughed and so did he.

"Well, you're probably right, as usual. We should really get to the meeting." He said getting up and taking me with him. He wrapped his arms around me waist and smirked a me again.

"We could always start back up where we left off after the meeting."

"What kind of girl do you take me for sir?" I joked. "So," I said more seriously. "Where is this going? I mean what…how-" He put his finger on my lips to hush me.

"Well, I was thinking we could start slow, you know dating, well as close to dating as you can get in EverWorld." He said seriously.

"I guess that workable." I said as he leaned down to kiss me again.

"You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that." He said.

"Well, we really should go now. Do you think we should tell the guys?"

"I think it would be kind of hard to hide if from them." He joked.

"Yeah, your right, we'll tell them tonight."

"You know," he started, "we could always just you know, spring it on them. Start making out in the middle of the meeting. That would get them."

"Is you mind always in the gutter?"

"Humm," he scratched his chin as if in contemplation, "Yes, I guess it is." I laughed and then dragged them out of the room. We really did need to get to that meeting. Thought, I could now think of a few other things I would rather do.

AN: So, how was it? Please review. I really, really, really, like, lust, love reviews. Well, maybe not so much but you get the idea. So, if you want more chapters you must pay the penalty and review. Thanks a lot for reading. And keep the dream alive…

BTW, did anyone catch the InuYasha reference I added in their. Ha, ha, I love InuYasha.
