A/N ok my last chapter was rubbish. I admit it. Even those of you who said it wasn't know it was. But hopefully this one will be better. This one is

After a lot of deliberation, Kel was walking down the cobbled streets wearing the dress. She was hand in hand with Neal. His hand felt deliciously warm in hers. Even as she thought this, he lifted here hand up and gently kissed it.

They reached the inn where they were to dine that night. It was small and quiet, quite unlike the other noisier, smokier pubs that resided on the same street. Neal had chosen well. When he stated his name at the door, they were led to a cozy corner where a candle glowed romantically.

They chatted as they waited for the food to arrive, occasionally munching on soft bread and olives. When the food came it was the best she had ever tasted. The clink of her cutlery against the fine plate served as the perfect soundscape for the conversation. which was hushed and loving. They held hands as the dessert was ordered and progressed to kisses over the coffee. Kel didn't want to leave. She didn't want this perfect night to ever end.

Eleven thirty rolled around and the couple was still as enthralled with each other as they had been when they first entered. They were so rapt up in each other that they did not notice the dark clouds rolling in, or hear the steady patter of rain drops upon the roof. They only looked up when the waiter came over to whisper to Neal that the storm had reached full force.

When he had left Neal turned to Kel with a worried look on his face. "We'll never get back in this! You'll ruin that lovely dress!"

"It's ok; I can take a little rain."

"Never mind you, I can't!"

"Oh Neal!"

"So what are we going to do?"

Kel picked up the menu, lost in deep thought. Suddenly, she caught sight of an advert on the back.

"Neal!"

"What?"

"This is an inn!"

"Congratulations!"

"Shut up! No I mean it has rooms! We can stay here for the night. I have some money; I can pay for two rooms."

"One would be cheaper."

"We've just had the most perfect night ever. Don't spoil it now."

"I'm not spoiling it I'm only making it better."

"Neal, I love you. With my heart and soul. When I'm ready. Not before. I'm going to get the rooms now."

Neal sat, lost in thought. He watched her weaving her way through the tables towards the front desk and he knew he shouldn't have pushed her.

Kel walked towards the bar, going over the exchange in her mind. She knew he shouldn't have pushed her but she loved him to distraction. Maybe she was ready, no matter what she had told Neal. Her mind was made up.
