Chapter 4

One night, Peter told Aunt May that he was going to hang out with Ned. In actuality, he was meeting his new secret girlfriend. Peter was on his way to the apartment she rented whenever she was on Earth.

When Peter arrived, he knocked on the door.

"Hey Peter", said Carol as she opened the door.

"Hi", said Peter.

After Carol closed the door, she quickly attacked Peter's lips.

"You're certainly very eager", said Peter.

"I'm just happy to see you", said Carol. "Even if you are a few minutes late."

"I'm sorry about that. The police were chasing this really big guy. it looked like they could've used some assistance from the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man."

"Always trying to impress me with your heroics Spider-Man", teased Carol before kissing him again.

Carol made popcorn before she and Peter sat on the couch to watch a movie. Peter slowly put his arm around Carol. In turn, Carol rested her head on his shoulder. It was amazing how natural this friends to something more transition was progressing.

"Thank you for having me over", said Peter.

"Of coarse", said Carol. "I love spending time with you." They leaned in for another kiss. She grabbed onto Peter's sweater. "This sweater."

"Do you not like it?"

"No, I do. It looks very good on you. You look very handsome. But, I think that sweater would look even better on my bedroom floor." Carol took Peter's hand and led him to the bedroom.

Peter and Carol snuggled together in bed and stared at the ceiling.

"That gets better every time", said Carol.

Peter wasn't sure how to respond. He was happy that Carol was pleased with his performance. "I can't wait for when I can take you on a real date" was all he could mutter.

"That will be nice", said Carol. "Of coarse, this kind of date night is nice too. I get to have you all to myself."

"I can't argue with you there", agreed Peter.

"There's something I have to tell you", said Carol.

"Okay", said Peter nervously.

"I have to leave for awhile. I'm just checking to see how things are in other parts of the galaxy. But nothing is going to prevent me from coming back to you." She gave him a quick peck. "Are you ready for another round?" They entered another passionate embrace, when Peter suddenly pulled away. He grabbed his phone.

"Checking your messages", teased Carol.

"I'm going to have to go. I'm sorry. I told my aunt I'd be home at a certain time", said Peter with a disappointed expression.

Carol's face quickly mirrored his. Then, she perked up.

"I have an idea. How about on the first weekend we have free after I get back, you come over here and we spend the whole weekend together. Would you be able to get away?"

"I think that's an excellent idea. I'm sure I can think of something."

Carol maneuvered herself so she laying on top of him.

"Glad to hear it", she said before meeting his lips. "Do you have to leave right this minute?"

"No. I can stay a few more minutes."

"Good. That's enough time for me to give you something to remind you of what you'll be missing while I'm gone." With a seductive look on her face, Carol slowly moved down her boyfriend's body and disappeared beneath the sheets. As she worked her magic, Peter thought about how their planned weekend together when she returned couldn't come faster enough.
